What are your thoughts on scrums? When the ball is under the 8 it is obstructed by 7 players

Local Super AU ladder update 1- Brumbies 12 points 2- Rebels 8 Points 3- Reds 7 Points 4- Force 5 Points 5 Waratahs 3 points Number of games is uneven due to draw

As much as I want him to stay, I would not be upset if he went and cashed in for a few years and then tries to come back for the next world cup, all players are only an injury away from the end of their career, if he is not appreciated at a national level then he may as well be set up for life...

There is nothing too good about it either, the Raiders, Brumbies and ACT Football deserve better if equality of infrastructure is important. I think an equivalent of Forsyth Barr would be ideal. As this is not a political forum I will not comment on his politics. Does anyone know if he is...

Enjoyable game and I think a pretty decent advert for the game to those on the fringe, just like last Saturday night and deserving of a better crowd. I thought the refereeing evened itself out, I think both teams had cause to be upset at some decisions which inevitably means both teams also got...

Didn't the Tahs boo their own team for taking penalties in the past?

So same number just different order? Surely games like this have to help raise numbers eventually. If only there was a politician linked to rugby in the ACT who could fight for a decent indoor stadium to build excitement for the future.

That is probably up to Rugby Australia, we had a coaching and recruitment pathway, NRC U20's, NRC and then Super Rugby. I am guessing it may be easier for ACT Rugby and the Brumbies to set up pathways in a region where you can visit each of your young prospects by driving for an hour to watch...

I think this is what has changed since his first season, he was a wrecking ball that almost always got past the defence, even if only by a metre but would then either try to throw a hero pass or lose possession. He has changed his game and lowered his risk of losing possession while adding a...

Not bad for a 7 after 5 weeks.

Has McReight been getting penalised this season? I cannot recall any silly penalties like in previous years, as a 7 it is a given that you are likely to get penalised trying to pilfer but he doesn't standout this season.

After round 5 the local ladder would be- 1 Brumbies 8 points 1 Rebels 8 points 3 Reds 7 points 4 Force 5 points 5 Waratahs 2 points The number of games is inconsistent so the ladder is not really fair, but of most importance is that the Tahs are last, but this may be a Reds fan thing?

They may be jealous, but they should also consider that he may bring money to the game, which will benefit them. It is like PGA players being jealous of how Tiger Woods got so much appearance money at the start of his career, this eventually led to the huge amounts of money in golf. I think he...

What disappoints me is not being able to catch a ball, or know when to hold the ball in a tackle rather than trying to throw a hero ball when it is not possible.

Can that also be due to capacity? For example, 25000 at AAMI park is a near sell out, but 25000 at Lang Park is just under half capacity. Surely the actual number through the gates is the fairest way to determine paying supporter base?

This is why Super AU was so great, it was an awesome game that came down to the last few minutes.

If the neck roll on McReight was called in the ruck 10 seconds prior it would not have gotten to the hold back. The ref was looking straight at it occurring.

What happens if he gets on the field after 5 seconds due to an injury? Does it still count as a rest week or will he have to sit another week on the bench?

Not since they became a Brumbies team :) , who knows, with Eddie we may get some Reds in the team and they will become more palatable. Playing in Brisbane would be a good start too
