Look at some of the historic footage of rugby games on youtube. Scrums were packed, fed, done and dusted and the pill was back in the hands of the Hairdressers in about 15 seconds after Sir blew the whistle to indicate that a restart was needed. An undernourished looking winger with chicken...

What are the traditional colours of the ACT (and southern NSW)? http://www.cmd.act.gov.au/communication/flags Any revised jumper should stay in tune with the traditional Blue and Gold of ACT sporting colours.

^^^^ and no Taquele Naiyaravoro.

It was Krasny Yar from Krasnoyarsk. Marty Banks played there in 2011. Krasnoyarsk is the unofficial home of Russian Rugby Union with the Russian Rugby Union having its HQ there for many years. In 2013 there were 6 New Zealanders playing for Krasny Yar...

Didn't the Darkness get in trouble at RWC 11 when they used Matt Todd (IIRC) at training during the "official RWC 11 period" to "hold the tackle bags" coincidental to Sir Richie GOATs foot injury?

Everyone is focusing on the negative aspects - Douglas over Horwill, only 2 hookers and 2 halfbacks and too many wingers, like the same mob that complain about a Test Cricketer being run out on 92. Forget about the 8 runs they didn't get, what about the 92 runs they did get? This is a good...

Sam Carter not needed for Wobs RWC Squad, but roped in for USA Eagles match. Probably unavailable for Eagles duty from Round 2 until Round 5.

The Gear Steward from 1999 RWC?

It's not about scrumming. We need blokes that can throw the lineout feed with the same skill and accuracy as Phil "The Power" Taylor does with Darts. TPN is dodgy with that skill at the best of times.

Nah. The Saffers showed us how to do it - go uncontested scrums. McMahon at Hooker. Can we call for uncontested Lineouts?:)

Dave Dennis and James Hanson not in RWC squad but they are off to the USA as Extended Wallaby Squad players for the USA Eagles Test. Squad leaves after John Eales Medal dinner which is being held on 27 August for a Sep 5 game in Chicago. John Eales Medal Dinner coincides with the Stars Round 2...

I'll back TCG's knowledge skills and experience in selecting the squad. His job and reputation are on the line, not mine, although if he can maintain a W:L ration >28% he should be OK with his job, but not his reputation. There were plenty of naysayers when he plucked Naiyaravoro out of...

That'll impact on some NRC squads.

<troll alert> Douglas only selected to appease Reds Fans. </troll alert> 80% of that squad was fairly predictable. Like others, I would have liked to see Big Kev rewarded for his efforts in TRC. He has been below standard for much of the last couple of seasons though. White vs Genia at...

^^^^ and a bloody good thing that they do as well otherwise we would have missed this gem:

10 minutes to go to put an end to 320 pages of speculation.

Any reports from the North vs South Premier Colts match last night at Ballymore? That has to be the trial to fill the spots in the 2016 Qld U20's train on squad after all the Professional and NRC players have been selected, plus some of the Class of 2015 Schoolboy Rockstars.

Wow. 7.6 million child soccer participants in the US. A lot of them must be female. Their Women's Soccer Team is world quality. Their Men's team is not. Wonder how many of the 300k rugby players are boys compared to girls?
