This is worth a look. A bit of footage from playing club rugby and U20's. He runs a bit sideways sometimes for Sunnybank but you can get away with it at that level. He was very straight for the Reds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlubcO6Z-HE

The difference between Taps and the other two you mention is that he has played a significant role in a winning team. I think that will hold him in good stead for years to come. Anyone else think Qld will just keep playing two 12's in the centres from now on. It doesn't seem to hinder them at...

I watch the first quarter of the game last night and I didn't think it backed up your statement. There was one ruck where Smit came through but apart from that I think the Wallabies had the better of it. We secured a couple of turnovers in this time too. The one from McCalman securing the ball...

That's why I think a summer 7's circuit would be a better option as it would only be up against cricket and the A-league. The great thing is that it offers something completely different to these two sports.

While this was the case in the past is has changed over the last few years. I know in Brisbane that Link is keen for guys to play club rugby if not in the Reds playing squad and Robbie seems to want guys to play club rugby too if not required for national duty.

This is from a few years ago but is pretty funny. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7jxlOAzcmc

A big chunk of that would be player wages wouldn't it? RUPA wouldn't be happy.

Welcome to God's country Groucho. A good Brisbane winter is awesome and it has been quite good this year. A bit cooler than normal but at least the rain has buggered of (knock wood).

Do you guys remember that we lost to Samoa? I think that we will struggle to beat the All Blacks in NZ and as a result we wont win the Bledisloe. I know that the team has changed and improved a heap but I don't think SA were very good and they will be dished up against the AB's this weekend. The...

To attack it from a completely different angle I would be interested in a National 7's comp played over the summer months between late October and February. You could have 10 tournaments played in Sydney x2, Brisbane, Melbourne, Canberra, Adelaide, Perth, Darwin, Townsville and Newcastle. Entry...

I would think that the timing of such a competition would be best suited after a world cup as opposed to in the gap between the club season and the world cup. Also playing with ELV's made it a bit confusing to the casual rugby fan. I think the ARC was proof that is you get to many peoples...

You guys have the NBL title. Aren't you happy with that?

Its been a while since channel 9 showed Dolly Parton's classic "9 to 5" so that might get a run and the Wallaby game can be shown at 1:45am the following day.

I don't like this at all. Making me think that they are nice guys. The AB's PR department should be ashamed of themselves.

I thought McCabe was better last night. He actually made the gain line quite a few times. I can't recall any clean breaks but he got the team going forward. Happy for the Wallabies to keep trying him there.

I have no real issue with it. It is a bit of a UK thing in my eyes.

With Beale, JOC (James O'Connor) and Cooper back covering I think that the Wallabies should be able to return the kicks quite well. Qwerty please never mention replacing Ioane with Turner again. I almost shat myself at the thought.

You would think with the recent signings at the Brumbies of Tomane and Sitauti he wouldn't have been much of a chance of playing. Better that he goes to a pro environment and develops more. Then he will have options when the year is up.

The Olympic funding issue is interesting. In Canada both 7's programs have received funding as Olympic sports and the women's national team receives funding due to their success at the Womens Rugby World Cup. The mens 15 program isn't eligible for any government funding as they aren't successful...
