Are we still using the FoxSports Fantasy Rugby, or something else?

Any hints on what it will involve, Gagger?

Carne, oh yes, and what a success he was!

Actually, the story goes that Tuqiri's first choice was the Reds, but they refused to guarantee him a spot ahead of their starting wingers (I believe they were Sailor and a young Peter Hynes at the time). The Reds told Tuqiri that he would have to earn his starting spot, and that they were...

This deserves likes just for the Douglas Adams reference!

So he must have been 20? I remember that try being late(r) in the season, so likely after his birthday in mid-May.

Yup. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lachlan_Turner Pretty sure he was 19 when he did that?

The fact that just about every Australian supporter feels differently to you may indicate something, but I'm not too sure what, exactly.

MMM played lock last year for the Force up until his injury, and up until then was going rather well. After he came back for injury he didn't play many games, and didn't really go too well in any of them, ending with that anonymous game at blindside for the Wallabies. Looking at the Force...

No, Weeks is saying that they perhaps have mammaries instead of members. If you stlil need a hint, think back to early high school and writing things on calculators. You'll get there once you get back in the 14 year old frame of mind. The number is not serious.

I'd say that Gill was the best Aus openside in Super Rugby in the first half of last season. But, I wouldn't say he was the best in the second half though. He tapered off slightly, although he still played well. I don't like MMM as blindside flanker. I like MMM as a lock. MMM as loosehead...

The Forever Reds membership is $55 and designed for those who can't attend games but still want to support the Reds. I have one and I live in Sydney. I will be going to the Reds v Tahs in Sydney with a friend as well, already have tickets (well, sort of).

Depends if you can afford that, a lot of those players won't be cheap. Strauss and Moore at hooker this early may be overkill in particular.

OK, from memory, I could have sworn that Eales didn't captain the Reds for a period (a season or two?) while also being Wallaby captain, but my memory could be completely playing tricks on me! edit: actually, I am pretty damn sure that David Wilson captained the Reds and Eales captained the...

To be honest, I was cheating and thinking of some of the "one-offs", although most of the "one-offs" did captain a few. edit: and I was thinking of concurrently captaining both the Wallabies and their provincial sides too, not just having done both!

While it's highly unlikely that Quade will be captain, although the though is amusing, there's been plenty of Wallaby captains since professionalism that haven't captained their provincial side. Anyone care to start naming a few?

Should we have a separate thread to discuss Mowen? It's a pretty big deal, the incumbent Wallaby captain heading overseas after the Super Rugby season. Maybe we can move the Ben Mowen posts into their own thread? Mods? Oh, and good luck to him too. He persevered and got his first test cap...

I tend to agree. Beale is deceptively quick over short distances (i.e. he has great acceleration), but his top end speed is not express. Mat Rogers was a similar case. Beale's running style isn't particularly natural and his strides seem too short to support a high top end speed, but allow...

Also see Leon "Panadol" MacDonald, Mils Muliaina.

Agree. Earlier on you could see that Folau was too slow in reading play and responding, but in the last few tests on Tour you could also see the improvement. I think it was the Wales game where Folau stopped two certain tries by being in the correct position and making the tackle. One of...
