Rota is not eligible to play for the Wallabies so is no chance of picking up a contract in Australia. Has been some chat about him going to Japan but from talking to him he doesn't know what he's going to do. Yeah Ben Adams is great. Am hopeful that when he comes back form his injury he...

TD the guy I would have my eye on in 2012 is Nigel Ah-Wong. He is currently in the ARU Academy and has played a few games for the Rebel Rising. He is looking more like a Super player every time I see him.

I would have thought that from an IRB perspective growing the women's game would be a priority. Also there is an opportunity to push into Asia by engaging with women there. Having the Wallaroo's and the Black Ferns play in an Asian comp would help grow the game there and also provide an...

This will be a big test for the Brumbies. The Chiefs have hit some form and will be full of confidence after toppling the Cru last Friday.

I have fronted up to my wife after many disappointing performances. I must have superhuman mental fortitude.

Last year his form around the field was such that I could understand his inclusion in the team but this year it's as if he isn't there. As a result he shouldn't be the starter, or in the 22 if possible, but I think he will keep his spot as Holmes can be used as soon as he gets into to much trouble.

I think he'd be a good signing. I watched him play at school, Iona in Brisbane, and for AIS in the schoolboy trials. He was a late call up into the Qld 2 team that won the National title that your IIRC. He's not a bad kid once you get to know him. He's just determined to be the best he can be...

It seems Wikipedia has more info than the ARU site. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia_women's_national_rugby_union_team

It would also be worth adding a former players section. Plenty of women forged a path in the past for little to no recognition.

While I'm not going to stand up for the ARU and say they are doing a great job they did post this video on Twitter and facebook last week on Interenation Womens Day.

Season proper starts on Saturday 28 April. More info found here. http://www.redsrugby.com.au/PremierRugby/FixturesResults.aspx

I would say it was more a case of resting up his body before a long trip to the Republic. Also playing Gill and Robinson probably suited the game more against the Rebels.

Tuggeranong won the Australian Club Championship over the weekend with a 47 - 32 win over Sunnybank at Oldmac oval. The Vikings had the better of a young Dragons team at both scrum and lineout time but with this being early in the year you can expect both teams to improve dramatically before...

It will be an interesting game. 2 teams that both aren't playing good rugby at the moment, except the Reds are 3-0 and the Sharks are 1-2. Qld always seem to like Durban as a place to play. I hope it's no different this week

I must say this is an exciting prospect of a match. I have always had a soft spot for the Clan and I am a huge fan of Jamie Joseph as a coach. I think that he has managed to introduce some old school hardness in his team in a way that has allowed him to remain connected to the young men in his...

It looks like the most attacking backline that the Rebels can put out. Inman looks good at 13 and I think he will benefit from the experience of the game last week and with Beale playing 15. The issue is in the forwards. Link has picked a mobile backrow verses a Rebels backrow that doesn't offer...

It looks something like this. I'm not to sure of a few surnames and depending on a couple of guys outside this group who have injuries that might be fit. 1 MACKAY Buchanan 2 MELLOR Sam 3 KARA Dennym 4 KRIUKELIS James 5 MELTON Gregory 6 AH WONG Nigel 7 POUHILA Michael 8 Longi ? 9 Danny ? 10...

It would be great if the Rebels and Force had at least a couple of local products in their EPS's. You would have to think that the Rebels would have a good look at Rex. I guess the issue is that they aren't really short of 12's. I think he would have to be picked up by someone though. He is...

Really enjoyed your post Scott. The one thing about rugby is that you can't picked teams based on stats like you can in baseball or even cricket. There are so many things that good players do that don't get recorded in stats but when you watch them you know they are doing things to help the...

All that stuff is done in house at the QRU. I am guessing the cost is very low. I'm probably being a bit harsh on the show. It's only early and they have already shown that they are making changes.
