I usually don't write a lot about the games on the forum but the Waratahs are to be congratulated for their win. It was good for an old Tahs' fan to see, but it wasn't worth the butcher's bill of George Smith and Tatafu Polota-Nau. I thought the Brumbies strangled the Tahs in the first half...

It's a pity because he was probably the most noticeable livewire of all of them yesterday - as much as you can tell from training sessions. The big inside centre is hard to stop in a tackle yet manages to elude a few of them at the same time. He was born in Fiji, represented them in U/20s...

Sorry - I forgot to post this (there was no training today): The only training session the public can watch this week is on Wednesday from 10.30am to 12 noon. It's at the Bus Loop which is on Driver Avenue opposite the back of the Brewongle Stand. Park in the Members' Car Park (free when...

They didn't play anybody - the game against PNG at Bond University was the only trial they could arrange, but they'll have some hit outs against Scotland when they arrive in France. There is some injury news: Matt Phillip is not going to recover from his osteitis pubis and will not tour...

There's a button at the bottom where you click on page 2.

Yeah Rassie nice to have you on board but as one who has posted a lot on South African rugby forums in the last 14 years, I can tell you that it is better to talk about rugby and not to stir. There is a preview of the match as part of a blog I wrote here...

And so it will come to pass. Agree on Alcock, and Mathewson has been one of the best for the Force this year and was only going to be rested for that one game. Mind you, it's easy to forget now what a good season Sheehan had last year. There is a preview of the match as part of a blog I...

That sounds right. Gosh who would have thought not too long ago that a 19 year-old would keep Ben Tapuai out of the starting side? Go you good thing. There is a preview of the match as part of a blog I wrote here: http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/preview-aussie-matches-in-round-14/ .

Yeah PB - it's good to see that Ruan Smith is getting to an age when we can have a good look at him, though he played from the bench a couple of times for the Force last year. I don't know if he has the goods or not as I haven't seen a lot of him since he came back to Australia, and I don't...

I'll post the Tahs training programme JSRF for next week when it comes to hand - usually late Sunday.

WARATAHS 1. Benn Robinson (Eastwood) 2. Tatafu Polota-Nau (Parramatta) 3. Paddy Ryan (Sydney University) 4. Sitaleki Timani (Southern Districts) 5. Kane Douglas (Southern Districts) 6. Dave Dennis (Sydney University, captain) 7. Michael Hooper (Manly) 8. Wycliff Palu (Manly) 9. Brendan...

So long as it is only the drum. .

I hope that Steve Walsh has a good game on the weekend. I'm not saying he's the worst or the best - but he is certainly one of the most hot and cold, in my opinion. He had a terrific game in bad conditions when Ireland drew with France in 6N, just after Joubert had butchered the Scotland v...

The signing of Lance may compromise the re-signing of Horne. It will be a pity if Horne is lost because of salary cap issues — the combo of 12. Horne and 13. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) is working better on both attack and defence than any other Tahs' midfield has for some time. .

McKibbin reminds Fat Cat that the bet he lost was for one scrum only.

Jamie Pandaram in the Daily Telegraph THE retention of Team Tonga's core is set to be the final nail in the coffin for NRL clubs chasing Israel Folau. Wycliff Palu's decision to remain in Australia caps the re-signings of "the big three" in NSW's famed Tongan clique, including Tatafu...

Lance and Grey are good acquisitions I thought Lopeti Timani was the successor to Palu and was sorry to see him go, but maybe he can fix up his handling problems in Melbourne and learn where the back gate is in a ruck. He is a potential Wallaby no.8 because he's a destructive runner, and is...

Yeah - it's OK at the ground - the rain lasted for 5 minutes at my joint.

Bugger - it's just started to rain where I am. Hope it's OK at the ground.
