    Rugby - not set pieces

    As I've said it is as good as it was before the ringworm got to it. Massive improvement from the shite Scotland and Edinburgh had to play on last season.

    Rugby - not set pieces

    Murrayfield looks as good as it was before the infestation, and that's all you can ask for.

    Northern Hemisphere Rugby Season 14/15

    Have you been living under a rock for the past decade? Changes nothing for Scottish Rugby. There's been an Irish-esque transformation at Glasgow, but we can't compete with the massive tax incentives offered in Ireland. Just from last season, Cusiter, Low, Jackson and McGuigan, all gone to...

    Northern Hemisphere Rugby Season 14/15

    Why would it be, when owning Murrayfield was the only thing stopping us from being insolvent? What the SRU did was ultimately no different from what the ARU did in creating this funky ass conglomerate known as Super Rugby 2016. All these cuts that passionate fans on one side or the other are...

    Northern Hemisphere Rugby Season 14/15

    Was considering rising to that, but will not. Conceding 10 points while a man down pretty much lost the game for Glasgow against Toulouse, but fair play to them, they won fair and square. Need to win the reverse fixture or Guscott's wank opinion will continue. Leicester v Toulon was a...

    Northern Hemisphere Rugby Season 14/15

    TBF, I think the talent drain has started to slow. With the exception of one Jim Stynes, it's always been the half back Flankers whom claimed the most amount of success. To varying levels of success, but all considered competent enough to play 20+ games, Pearce Hanley, Zach Tuoey, Colm Begley...

    World Rugby Sevens 2014/15 World Series - Round 2 Dubai - 5/6 December

    C'mon Scots! Beat the Aussies. Yeah... just a good performance first.

    Scrum Talk

    PAE's had a bunch of Puppy fat that he's finally shed, more or less. His carries around the ground have been stronger and more frequent this past season, but given he's off to France, and Weeks is signed for the next three seasons, the likelihood is that the latter will retain the starting spot.

    Rebels 2015

    33 players in the squad. Dewar Shield allocations. That's 6 teams with 4 allocated players, and 3 teams with 3 players. Assuming no-one changes, it remains like this: Footscray Cruze Ah-Nau Colby Fainga'a Caydern Neville Lopeti Timani Endeavour Hills Jack Debreczeni Sean McMahon Nic...

    Scrum Talk

    Get the near side touchie to manage the opposite side of the scrum, that would "hopefully" start to help.

    Wallaby 31 players for 2015 RWC

    Ma'afu isn't terrible, but he's limited. His scrummaging (something I did rate, even if many didn't) has improved as well for Northampton, but he was never the fittest player in the world, and has swallowed a cow since moving there. Kepu, Holmes, Faulkner, Alexander, Weeks are the 1st choicer...

    Rebels 2015

    Certainly seems to have dropped off the face of the earth. Worrying, especially since he didn't play any NRC for the Eagles. IF he's gone, it means we only have 5 props, but I guess Fereti would be more than capable if required. Would be nice to hear some news from somewhere though, slightly...

    Should there be a 2nd Tier RWC

    Perhaps you cut the Repechege, 2nd Americas Spot, and 2nd European Spot, then play the Secondary RWC the year beforehand, with 16 teams, the winner, 2nd place and 3rd place qualifying. Or expansion could work too.

    Rugby Quotes of the Week

    He was awful. He's got something left though. Be nice if he stayed injured. Slade deserves a good shot at the side, never seems to let anyone done.

    England v Australia

    Cheika claimed the team less than 5 weeks ago. Obviously everyone has different opinions on who are the best Hookers, Props, Locks, Back Rowers, Halves, Centers and Wingers. The team on tour is not the strongest, not everyone is fit or available, blah, blah, blah, blah. At a minimum, of the...

    The Shading is crap. Otherwise that's a wonderful Pair. Thought it would be the other way around.

    Broadcast options for Australian Rugby

    SANFL was 7 Radelaide as of this year. VFL purchased by 7Vuc for next. WAFL is as of yet unknown. I believe the VFL coverage was previously all but funded for the AFL. What will help is the added incentive for double headers. By 2016/17, all but 3 of the Victorian AFL Sides will have Reserve...

    Ireland v Australia

    Engo is a center... sort of.

    Non-Wallaby November Internationals

    Wonderful call from Walsh in the Pumas/Cocks game held up. Confident. Didn't need the TMO, didn't waste anyone's time. 13-18 win to the argies, 2 pens and 4 drop goals to a converted try and 2 pens.

    The Most Valuable Player in Australian Rugby ?

    Ma'afu is the best tighthead at the best team in Ingerland. However, he has swallowed a Cow since he went over there. Wouldn't be anywhere near a Wallaby side. Would be Fiji's best tighthead by a fair distance though. Should have gone overseas earlier and played for them like his brother.
