Evidently the local Rebel Sports store has had to restock their Wallaby jerseys three times this week. Pretty amazing. As for the game. I have quite a bit of confidence of a victory. There's just something about the happy and relaxed look of the team that is just giving off the vibe that if NZ...

Didn't he start 3 or 4 games in the second half of the NRC? Definitely started at least 2. Scrumed well, good involvement around the park, his trademark powerful ball running that netted him three tries. Probably doesn't make the impact you'd hope for from a guy built as he his in the tackle but...

We'll see. There next gen are much, much better than those they will be replacing and they have a pro league in the works set for 2017. My prediction on the USA front is that they'll crack the top 10 in the next 5 years.

In terms of who we should be looking to poach. My answer is no one. If any want in they should come to us and prove they are a better option than those we have now. I'd rather look at some of the young blokes from the NRC. Perese from Qld Country would be at the top of my list upon his recovery.

There was a story not so long ago about the Women's team poaching a player from the Jillaroo's.

In terms of geographic spread I have no idea. There has been some mention of salaries being similar to Major League Lacrosse which tend to top out at around $25,000 for the top talent. However, the last time this topic came up it was suggested that salaries would range between $25-40,000. Not...

Oh, and it's rumoured name is ProRugby.

More talk about Pro Rugby in the US. Evidently Rugby International Marketing (RIM) which is the for profit arm of USARugby are set to announce it late this month. They've partnered with Stadium Capital Financing Group and both NBC and RIM mooted Rugby Channel are said to be involved. Evidently...

I'm trying to figure out how many Wicks 1st graders are involved. Doesn't look like too many from what I can tell. No idea on the Wests team.

If the ARU go down the route of an annual game against Japan then they should just push for them to enter the RC now. I actually preferred the one off format this year. We can still have our Bledisloe Cup games so we'll have 5 games. With Japan in the RC I'd like to see Chile given their seat in...

Really? 94kg. Where's he hiding it all? He could end up being a pretty big boy once he's finished growing. Nine months or so training with the Brumbies and I can easily see him running out for the Vikings at easily 100kg in next years NRC.

Here's hoping for the Rams to break their duck for the season. Evidently they've brought in a kicker :)

He probably is though only paying attention to the guys wearing numbers 1-8.

Says 3:20 on the site. I thought it was being played a little earlier than usual. I get to watch both then. Good.

I can't get the Spirit/Rising feed. Strange.

24-13 to the Rays.

Yeah, wouldn't surprise me in the least if we see him pop up at the back end of many Reds games next season. He's handled the transition from schoolboys to club and now the NRC very well. One issue though, is at least in my opinion is his work rate in defence. Could probably do with some work...

Looks like City has come out with intent and Country are still in the sheds.

Yeah, they definitely tried to defend the lead in the last 15min which never works. While it was a very entertaining game it was also very frustrating at the end there.

So, if the Force had any sense they'd be looking to give both Hardwick and Konelio contracts. Both have been very impressive so far.
