I know that, besides the head injury, the reason I stopped playing was that time had to be put elsewhere. School/Uni to work on, need to earn an income, need to cook, clean, ect. Rugby just didn't fit in anymore. The game that juniors play (in the ACT at least) is great. I only remember one...

You can't really take the 6 away from Higgenbotham though, can you? The man is a machine.

I think the Reds have the best chance against the other conferences, it's just the Australians they need to worry about. Western Force want to prove something, Rebels want to push the top 8, Waratahs want a season that lives up to the hype and Brumbies want to continue their form. And they...

Kingi is the guy for the wing. I think it'll be 9 Phipps 10 Beale 11 Kingi 12 O'Connor 13 Inman 14 Rokobaro 15 Mitchell

Wales hasn't showed their class ever since they fell to Australia last year. I think they'll see an opportunity to destroy an opposition and use that to get back into it. I just don't know if it will be Italy or Scotland that they destroy.

Just setting mine up now, anyone looking for a good backup 10, Chris Noakes of the Blues. Played pretty well for the Highlanders last year and has always been good for Bay of Plenty.

Go Italy! Show Les Frogs who's boss!

What are the chances of the Force inviting us there after two years losing to us in Darwin?

Ireland sure showed their class, one half was beautiful attack and the other resolute defense. D'Arcy is the perfect link between Sexton and O'Driscoll while keeping the 10/12 channel shut. Take this game as a good example of the value of a good 9 to 13 line on attack and defense.

Maybe Adelaide is up for a match?

University of Canberra Brumbies 1. Ben Alexander (replaced by Ruaidhri Murphy) 2. Stephen Moore (replaced by Siliva Siliva) 3. Dan Palmer (replaced by Ruan Smith) 4. Scott Fardy (replaced by Etienne Oosthuizen) 5. Sam Carter (replaced by Leon Power) 6. Peter Kimlin (replaced by Tim Cree) 7...

I always liked Lucas, his awareness and speed are great. Hopefully he gets a good chance to shine here.

Why not have an all America version of Super Rugby? The Argies and Canadians will be up for it, Uruguay will want in and the US of A loves any sport they can try and thump someone in. This is made even more valid by having an annual competition for the Argies, Canadians and Statesmen. Give...

So, as always, it could go to England, France, Ireland or Wales with Scotland and Italy improving throughout the competition and giving someone a scare, maybe getting a scalp. If I had to go off of EOYT form alone, it would be France > Ireland > England > Wales If anyone is getting a scalp...

I loved watching Canada v Samoa earlier this year and the USA always looks to be on the verge of a massive win. I hope this gives both teams what they need to grow.

I went back and watched the final after this, one of those games where knowing the result doesn't take away how tense it is. But I do have a random question: Why doesn't Cory Jane sing the anthem?

It did take five years for people to say Lealiifano is first choice 10, if I'm not mistaken it is now To'omua's fifth year, I'm more than happy for the growing to continue. I mean, look at what training under Larkham has done for Lealiifano's skill at 10, reminds me of Larkham almost every...

The Argies are just a joy to watch. Even when they play badly, they're great because they're still so desperate to win, throwing their all into it :D

Rory Murphy is a pretty good scrumager as well, is it one or two years until he is available for Wallabies?

Will the refs be using the new IRB laws from the EOYT? Eg. 5s at back of ruck, shorter time for kick, 23man teams.
