    Declining participation and ARU plans for the future

    I don't recall any significant changes to the maul laws (except for EVL's which were canned)? Was there ever a time when the attacking team retained the ball from a collapsed maul? If there was it was before I played the game 20+ years ago......... All contact sports have been applying new...

    Western Force 2017

    The Force are equal first with the Kings for most scrum penalties........ I certainly think that Cowan is having a decent year (despite being one of the most penalised props in the comp), but Daley isn't anywhere near consideration for test duties.

    The Wallabies Thread

    Loosehead prop is a worry with Sio and Slipper out and Robertson out of form....... I don't hold much confidence in Cowan stepping up, so hopefully T Smith comes back from injury before then............ Latu is the form hooker, but Moore will be selected........ AA is the obvious choice at...

    Brumbies 2018

    He's the Wallaby incumbent and was in excellent form for them in their most recent tests.......... His Soup form this year hasn't been too bad overall, but yes he's been average with along with a number of other players in recent weeks. Still, he should retain the 13 jersey for the Wobs...

    Jones bombs Israel

    To be fair, Folau's form at 13 for the Tahs last year was very impressive and many people, especially on this forum, were calling for him to play there for the Wobs............ I don't believe where he's been playing this year has anything to do with it, and there's also some serious...

    Declining participation and ARU plans for the future

    It's still insanely popular though, and unlike rugby it now gets several matches a week broadcast on FTA in Australia......... But in regards to rugby - the excuse that it's the current laws of our game that's driving away people doesn't fit as the current laws are certainly no more...

    Declining participation and ARU plans for the future

    For all this talk about stoppages, duration of ball not in play, and regular not always easy to follow penalties........... I give you......... NFL.

    The Wallabies Thread

    Well, yes....... as the son of a former Wallaby great, it would be a shame if he's tearing it up against us in a few years.

    It's more to do with the onwards......... ;)

    Cyclo, amongst the purge I think you might've removed this nugget of news.......... He was selected at fullback for their opening win against Wales. Hopefully it won't be a case of one that got away.........

    Brumbies 2018

    Cubelli is a great player, and it would be nice to have him around.......... but we don't need him. At the start of the year it seemed like we'd be screwed without him but Powell has taken off, and Lonergan by all reports is doing quite well in the U20's so there's our future there with two...

    Auckland Blues vs Brumbies RD 10 2017

    Wow, Gnostic.......... I'm amazed you can become so worked up over something I never said. I never said that he was better than those players........ I stated that he we playing better than what was expected of him considering he was drafted last minute from NZ club rugby, and had been one of...

    Auckland Blues vs Brumbies RD 10 2017

    You have to give credit to the Blues though...... 96% tackle success, and they spent more than 2/3 of the game down in Brumbies territory.

    Auckland Blues vs Brumbies RD 10 2017

    Nah, Hawera has done better than what was expected off him....... he's certainly far from being the worst performing Brumby.

    Auckland Blues vs Brumbies RD 10 2017

    It would also be nice to see JJH given more than 30 seconds of match time every week.......

    Auckland Blues vs Brumbies RD 10 2017

    Nah, there's not........ In fact, Australian flyhalf stocks are so bad that he's probably one of the better performing 'Aussie' flyhalves this year. I think the jury's out on Lolo though........ would like to see Hyne given another shot.

    But hey, another BP loss to keep us slowly crawling ahead in the Aussie conference........
