Reminder to those with Foxtel IQ's that you will need to reprogramme your machine if you want to record the Grand Final tomorrow. The previous series link from Channel 7Two hasn't automatically switched to Channel 7 on my machine.

When is the Official Launch of the Season?

When do the squads need to be "registered" with HQ NRC? Some of the other franchises still have a couple of positions still in the TBA category. You'd imagine that the Broadcasters need to spend some time familiarising themselves with the names, faces, and scrapbooks of some of the not so...

Is the #22 for the Woodies First Grade team the same Arthur Currie that went to NRL for the Under 20 Carmakers Cup after he graduated from St Gregory's Campbelltown in 2013?

Correct. The Prima donnas needed to meet and mate with more thinly boned of the flock. If the Rugby Players were afforded that opportunity, then the mixing of the genes would reduce the potency of future Rugby Players. History has proven that more hearty and buxom wenches, ignored by the...

Kinross are also an AICES School but play in ISA Competitions. It sounds like they have a good rugby culture at HVGS, and would be ready to give ISA Div 2 a go. AFAIK in ISA Div 2 a school only needs a 1st XV, and one team in each of the following age groups - 16, 15, 14 and 13.

Great news. Fox tell have done their bit. Now it is up to the players. Go you good things. I'm excited.

We've had a couple of pages to have our say about both the Coaches selections. Time to put your family jewels on the table. Who is going to win and by how much? This could also serve as an opportunity to impose a jinx if that is what rocks your boat. I see The Darkness prevailing over the...

In any rugby fixture there are three groups. There are Rugby Players wearing the numbers 1-8 on their back, Onlookers who are on the field and wear numbers 9-15, and, thanks to Michael Cheika, a bunch of folks called Finishers. The latter group wear number 16-23 on their jumper. The game is...

Impressive effort, but didn't the number 22 force the ball for a 22 metre restart? Most referees would have awarded a try to him if this had occurred at the other end of the field.

Not new to unusual approaches, Air NZ showed that they have nothing to hide with this previous version of their safety video. The "staff" are starkers but it is SFW:

^^^^ <Pedantic alert> There are 5 Australian Super Franchises, therefore each "state 20's" squad will only play 4 matches if they play in a tournament against all the Super Rugby Franchises U20's. <End Pedantic alert> So effectively there will be no separate "Southern States tournament", and...

Posters a while ago had written Chibba Hanson off as being in the Melbourne Rising Team on the back of his 2016 move to the Rebels. He has not been named in the Rising Squad. He is not in the Wallaby marquee assignment to any NRC Franchise. Will he be making a return appearance for the...

^^^^ So Ripping Yarns. The Testing of Eric Olthwaite (S1E2). "My mum once made the blackest black pudding I've ever seen ... even the white bits were black,"

The re-appointment of Dickie Boy, after an exhaustive worldwide search of the Ballymore Carpark, is going to be announced on Saturday night, and subsequently buried by the news of a Bledisloe Cup victory.

Only need a couple more and the Pitcairns will have a half decent Rugby 7's team.

^^ When we win the Bled 2-0 this weekend, any revenge match Bled will be a dead rubber not a decider.
