and yet another rumour

'...it's not just about the money, it's also about respect..' You see that term a lot in negotiations days, in many different countries, generally respect is demonstrated through more $$$$

It looks more like a judo throw, what Ray Price copyrighted as the "Cumberlabd throw", 4- 6 weeks

The Brumbies look such a better side when they run the ball and play rugby

It is what the Rebels did with Debreczeni, with Frizby at 9 for experience and Kerevi out side him ....................

semi finalists again :cool:

Yeah, well, that is the new coach bit

Because the replacement changes from signing with the opportunity of starting, to unit prepared to be holding tackle bags

Ahh, in Cheika world "not kicking" is a positive; there is little, to no kicking for a start. They will run the ball from the back with the plan to only kick once the defensive line is reset; and then not for touch, but for space. Tomane is pretty effective under the high ball, works hard...

So what should they do? Wait on the hope that a player who has signed a big overseas contract will change is mind? Come on .............. Just sign a decent coach (a far more important issue than the 10) let him redevelop the culture and build a team for the future Units are signing now...

One part of "news" won't play to the RWC rules, another part, Foxtel, is setting up a RWC channel full of rugby goodness

Speight out may mean Horne or Naiyaravoro having more chance. I see Tomane competing with AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) & JOC (James O'Connor), and on form...

The Highlanders looked bloody good, no kicking and ball security will be the keys for the night

you need three effective jumpers at test level, or two effectives and two workarounds

We are our history and reputation at test level, it will take a few years of taking our licks and showing actual results for our reputation to become acceptable again

Yep, and like sunburn, it is\was a self-inflicted wound

We have been/are shit scrummagers, with the cynical philosophy (that goes all the way back to the Eddie Jones era) that if the hit doesn't go right, collapse and try agin
