Played for Easts in the Shield. Very athletic player if a little underweight for his position. However, having just watched his highlight reel (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUyE2in75zw) it appears he's put the time in to get himself physically ship shape. From the highlights, it appears that...

Randwick vs anyone tended to bring the spite in truckloads. However, I'd say the Wicks/Easts rivalry would have the most hatred I've ever experienced. In every encounter I experienced plenty of blood was split and often mates from school or even club in the previous season were sworn enemies...

Games against Easts were the only games you couldn't bare to lose. You could be forgiven for losing every other game but any game against Easts. My first taste of it was when I was 16 in my first year of Colts at the club. This little white haired man walked into the dressing room. Most us were...

Hate to Bahrain on your parade, but Russian has already been done. Belize me.

And without the money generated by Super Rugby, SA like both Aus and NZ would be nothing more than development nations for NH clubs. As for Louis Luyt and the advent of professional rugby. I suggest you read up on how it came about. Out current format only came as a reaction to the movements...

There's very little chance of the 6 Nations ever expanding beyond its current format. Every time the SARU has made noises regarding their options elsewhere the one consistent element has remained that while they would leave Super Rugby, they didn't want to let go of the opportunity to play in the...

The obvious alternative if SA upped and left would be to form a home/away league more than likely still called Super Rugby. All they would need to do would be to include the current 5 from each nation and possibly even look for two additional teams to make up the numbers. That's the only thing...

I wasn't just imagining it.

Participation figures should always be taken with a grain of salt. They're mostly a concoction of numbers to fluff the ego's of administrators. I suspect these numbers will be used to justify the percentage of AOC funding the ARU will be chasing. From reading some time ago, the Olympic funding...

I see opening roster positions more to do with financial development more so than just players. By involving Argentinean players in our Super Rugby structures in significant enough numbers we are essentially assisting with the development of Argentine Rugby and more notably the Pumas. However, by...

The question relating to including Argentina is relatively simple. All it would involve is a mandate number of roster positions. Yes, many may point out that this would be taking places from local talent but it would provide benefits as well. I think we can all agree that the SARU will be...

Imagining it is being said in a Northern English accent. Rooogby.

Another one I quite like is Rugby Lite.

The article is from November last year which suggests that he didn't get his release.

It makes an interesting argument. Comes from a poster from The Roar called Abnutta if I'm not mistaken.

If a Western Sydney team did eventuate I think that would be a no-brainer. Though, that doesn't mean it will.

Those figures look good but something we need to look at is strategies to turn those irregular numbers into active participation across both clubs and school's.

Ahh.........right. Looking at it, it could have gone either way. Wasn't half a metre forward but certainly was flat.

I've seen the game twice now and paid particular attention to that pass from AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) to Crawford and I cannot see the forward pass in which you are referring. The ball travels backwards. Just to clear it up. Here's a link to some highlights. http://www.pakiscorner.com/ The pass in question occurs...

I think there may be a day that we see closed off conferences with the top 2 or 3 teams from each facing off in a play off against the other conferences. It's just that it won't be for a long while yet. It's actually an interesting topic. A few years back I picked up an issue of Rugby World...
