SupeRugby- Crusaders (agree with others though that it will be a more even season) Six Nations - Ireland Rugby Championship & Bledisloe - Australia Aus v Scots in Newcastle - Australia (but only just)

"Overseas Raised: League - really? what the fuck?" I'd be interested to hear from someone that falls into this category.

Good thread Rugby Central. My club, Newcastle Uni, isnt as well financed as the other top clubs in our comp (A few people I know seem surprised a team attached to a Uni is short financially but there you go). Still, we got club of the year this year in our comp so there's a few things I think...

Matt Todd (Crusaders) - watch this space. Biased again I know but he looks the goods, filled in for Ritchie during SupeRugby & held his own. He would be my pick. Others I'm sure will mention some more experienced players but I think Todd is a good bet. Cruden or Slade at 10 not as good as Dan...

He served an 8yr apprenticeship under Henry pretty much so based on that I think he's the sensible option. With the depth NZ have in their player stocks I can see them maintaining their dominance for some time. Its going to take another country to step up rather than the AB's losing anything...

A tad biased but for mine the Crusaders entire 2011 SupeRugby season effort was one big highlight.

Easts, the NHRU, & the supreme court. Holy crap the saga continues - hurry up & bring back Easts!!! Here's an update below of the situation, not real sure if any Rugby club in Australia has had to fight its own local governing body to the extent that Easts have had to, someone should make a...

I agree about the issues of making sure 7's exposure transitions into 15's, as a forward I feel the game of 7's limits people of larger sizes (though I myself have a frame that can work for 7's & 15's) but it is a worry for larger or slower people if this is going to be what is used to get...

3. Barnes 2. JOC (James O'Connor) 1. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)

Nice to see Shane Williams get that try.

Excellent offload Shane Williams, surely advantage is over by now?

Ahhh but its all the hard years that have made Samo what he is now Godfrey. One of the Fijian sevens players made their first appearance at age 39 (forget his name) at GC Sevens, maybe Samos got that kind of longevity. WALES in!

SBS commentary that says "Australia doesnt look like a group of super stars", WTF? The 2nd best team world wide. Who are we being compared to Brian Moore your beloved England? Turn it up! Lol. In the meantime BARNES!!!!!

That was some nice support play there. Very good run by Higgers too. Need to watch running behind our own guys though or we could get busted for obstruction. Edit: I'm telling you JOCs leg technique thing he's left out has stuffed his procedure a bit. Or maybe he meant to hit the post & he's...

Well I think there is a good arguement that that was a penalty try. ...& Genia goes in anyway.

Love Diggers' stepping.

That was a great catch by AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper). I know people dont like Barnes kicking but that near try is a reason I dont mind him doing it too much. JOC (James O'Connor) is still taking on the line just as he was in the Baa Baas game, early days still but I like that he's taking them on. I noticed he didnt do that leg jink he...

Gez I hope Lachie got that!

Which ones Godfrey? I've been going between SBS & Fox. If I had to make a guess I'd say you were talking about the BBC ones, one minute complaining about Genias not straight put in to the scrum then when Wales did the crooked lineout throw, silence (then again they were pulled up on it).

Lots of emotion there from Shane Williams & nice touch to pay respects to Gary Speed. Hoping I've stayed up to see a good game.
