    Western Force 2017

    Mate, have you read the prospectus published last week on the website? Lots of these sort of questions are addressed there. Short answer though, it's all at your risk at the moment. Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk

    Declining participation and ARU plans for the future

    Isn't it all fairly academic unless the clubs can offer these 15-18 year olds anywhere near the opportunity/coaching/facilities/support that the private schools do? And the ARU gets all of this for free, paid for by other fee paying parents. Even NRL clubs are sending their scholarship kids...

    Reds 2017

    The guy was only 22 when he last played for the Reds. He'll (probably) mature a bit, realise he does actually want to put in the work, and have a fine career somewhere for someone. But I agree it probably won't be at the Reds

    Declining participation and ARU plans for the future

    Outside of the pro sides, how many full time rugby coaches are there? Are the SS/Prem coaches full time? Other than (some) school coaches, there can't be too many out there. It's effectively the pathway for a coaching career isn't it? Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk

    How does it work if you're injured playing for someone else? Does the Japanese club's insurance pay for his salary and rehab while CFS is out? Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk

    Round 6: Reds v. Hurricanes, April 1st

    Thought Kerevi was very lucky they didn't look a bit closer at his challenge at the end of savea's try at 14mins, and Perese's tackle was probably Ok, but inches away from a card. Could have been much worse for the rwds Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk

    Don't need to worry about anything that complicated mate. Worry how the ARU is going to deal with another world cup year shortfall + fewer tests the year after without a Lions tour or England 3 match series for 2 cycles Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk

    I'd imagine Billy P had one KPI from the board over the last couple of years - get the ARU out of the financial dire straights. To his credit, he seems to have achieved this. His challenge will be the next term which will have a broader range of criteria - linked to the strategic plan that the...

    Concussions and Protecting Our Players

    France to be investigated for their substitution against Wales They used the concussion protocol to get a stronger scrummager onto the pitch. Not sure what could be done if there were anything improper but they should have to book thrown at them if so Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk

    Spending $1m+ on a 34 year old, who hasn't played the game for 15 years? No chance whatsoever

    I'll give them some credit for the Italy test in Brisbane. Family of four for $100

    The Wallabies Thread

    Looks the goods with ball in hand but the ABs running at that backline makes me nervous. BAck to last years problem where one of Foley, DHP, Beale or Folau would have to defend in the line, and ideally none of them would. edit - beaten by Amirite!

    Test ticket prices

    I understand the point your making here and no way will I be paying that either - but I was just looking at some highlights from Carozza's 1992 Bled at Ballymore. Great game, and sold out but relatively tiny crowd!

    Round 7 - Brumbies v Reds, GIO Stadium, Canberra Sat 8th Apr @ 7:45PM AEST

    Jake was defending at 15 but still at first reciever in attack. Perese came on for Hunt around 55mins and didn't get to do much. The only other change was Frisby on for 10 or so Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk

    Interesting to compare the stats for Jake and QC (Quade Cooper) so far this year. You can probably draw whatever conclusions you want from them Player - QC (Quade Cooper) v JMc Minutes - 283 v 187 Kicks - 23 v 11 Kick metres - 773 v 443 Passes - 84 v 76 errors - 14 v 3 Carries - 26 v 8 metres - 149 v 37 turnovers...
