Half your luck Nusadan. Hope it all lines up for you. Sounds like you will have an awesome couple of days. Any idea who the referee is and will the Wobs be getting a personal visit from Paddy O'B after the game as part of the referee debrief process?:)

Like many I doubt this will ever happen, but as a hypothetical I'll indulge a little. Any team in the ITM from Aust must be based in close proximity to an International Airport - Sydney or Brisbane. Until Canberra gets awarded Sydney's second Airport Status with direct International flights...

$150 sounds way to much (75 per day) for colts level 7s. It may even a bit much for pro/semi pro but would depend on the stars on show.

Be interesting to see how this goes. I think it can only be good for the game, and give the coaches and selectors more flexibility.:thumb Just hope if it happens out here, Dingo actually uses them. I wonder do the bench players get match payments if they do not take the field? Perhaps...

But why do they position the main TV cameras in the main grandstand where that bloody roof support (or whatever it is) always gets in the way? Move them somewhere else, or move the support!

Who has been the best TV Rugby Commentator you have ever heard? I vote Bill McLaren for the Hall of Fame. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_McLaren A very sad day for rugby when Bill retired from calling the game.

P.S. Peter.......... Peter, Look at moi......... PETER! Look at moi, LOOK AT MOI !!!..... I've got one word to say to you about that stupid bandana on your melon..... Dick head

About 98% of what TFF writes in his column is not his own words, apart from his occasional sprays about diveball, and the mungos. Like I said earlier, he is to serious journalism as the Big Mac is to fine dining. Consistent, safe, tasteless. Interesting to see that he nearly gets a page of...

I agree. Apart from a small minority of dead set fans, no sydney sider turns up to watch a battler lose. Sydney people will go along way to be seen, talked to and about, when Sydney/NSW are winning. As soon as the victories dry up, we find something else to become obsessed with, usually...

Because it is very Australian for towns to have repetitive place names like Woy Woy, Wagga Wagga, Gang Gang etc, how about the Bill Bill Trophy? The Bill Bill Trophy would be named in honour of the two times we have won Bill. The 2012 trophy can be renamed the 3 Bills Cup.:)

Fitzy promotes rugby through his column. So what if he is stereotypical. So are Roy and HG and look at the following they get. He is always looking to push stories which show rugby in a good light, right down to the grass roots, whilst exposing the foibles of the other codes. Nothing too...

Hardly seems fair, but them's the rules, and sometimes you just got to harden up and play better to make the victory seem that much sweeter. Judging from the comparison of the ovals on the ABC, Coogee Oval has "looked" the best with a good cover of lush grass and well presented. Woollahra Oval...

I reckon HJ is taking the mickey with his observation on Fitzy. While I enjoy the Fitz Files for light reading on Saturday Mornings, it is about as incisive as a Big Mac is Fine Dining. Fitzy however does not really pretend to be a serious journalist, whereas Growden and the rest do. I...

Out of the mouths of babes come the darndest things. I'm not sure if you intended to deliberately take the mickey, but not KweeChee (Stoff) or Cheequee (Cyclo), but Richard Chee Quee did in fact play for NSW Cricket as the first Chinese player to play first class cricket in Australia. Giving...

This little question is about as nasty as Austin's little "which one of these scrums is different?" video. I can recall this (I think) but like many on G&GR I can not recall the exact details. Bugger.

Seven and G Bray provide better commentary coverage than the Fox Sports team. ABC set the benchmark. Sad that Aunty doesn't get a gig beyond TNSS.

Interesting thing is bit like what happens in Aust with players Club and S15 teams not necessarily being geographically co-located. The ITM (Shute shield/Brissie comp Club) team a player plays for is no guarantee that they will play for the S15 team that covers that geographic area. F'r...

A Maori mate of mine tells me that the haka is a personal and group/tribe thing. In the real olden days, it was performed as a display of manliness and readiness for war - a real challenge to try and scare the bad guys off. The bad guys responded to the challenge with their own tribal haka...

Based on what Eyes and Ears is reporting on Shute Shield points thread: This potential player roster would breach any points cap for colts 1. Also isn't Luani contracted to Tigers (according to Lee G)?

The grown up world of hardened professionals in S15 is completely different to Schoolboy rugby. IMHO regardless of how good (or big/strong comparatively speaking) a schoolboy player is, they need a year or two to complete their physical and mental development as a journeyman before they are...
