Lee they seem to get signed quicker in Super rugby also if some are good enough they start, JOC (James O'Connor), QC (Quade Cooper), KB (Kurtley Beale), hooper and Colby F. But aus has a small player pool so the schoolboys that are good enough get in quickly. However loads of them are stuck in limbo for about 4 years until they are 21 or 22...

For me it always seems like your schoolboys take ages to start for a super 15 team compared to English players (with a few exceptions JOC (James O'Connor), QC (Quade Cooper), KB (Kurtley Beale)) but i also always seem to forget your boys finish school a year earlier than ours do and therefore have more time between school and the pro game...

He probably is much smaller in real life , the ARU lists will genia as 182 cm and he is around five foot eight or nine not 5'11-6'0. They do it in england as well for the schoolboy players, bump up their weight to psych out the opposition that sort of thing

has cipriani rocked up yet, quick story my teacher told me was that a mate of his was on the same flight as the england saxons to denver for the churchill cup. Apparently the whole team were waiting for Cips when he turned up just before the flight left and checked in. He had bought himself a...

London Irish are doing me proud leading Munster 20-6 at the break. Boy i played against a few times Jonathan joseph is on the bench for irish

Would love to see JOC (James O'Connor) play 10/12 although with Ripia arriving and pressure from robbie we may see him at 15 or worst case on the wing. Shep should play 15 with cullet and stanno on the wings, inman and JOC (James O'Connor) in the centres and ripia at 10. Also someone edited JOC (James O'Connor)'s wikipedia page: "| nickname =...

Has Morahan played sevens before think i remember him on the circuit about two years ago. Also why did morahan not get more of a run at a reds jersey this year they seemed to rate brando vaalu better than him. Surely he should be starting to make a move towards the first team this year as...

Some footage of SBW's latest match at 13. Scores a great individual try and also a oflloads well early on. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4gj1_Sw04M

Was Gilbert playing 15 for Randwick? I get a bit confused by the Queensland and Sydney competitions because a few of the Brumbies and Force players play in them. Also how do they choose which team to go on or is it a draft type system. Can anyone predict how Uni would do against an Aviva...

Thanks for that ChargerWA needed some clearing up However as i said in a previous post it wasn't clear whether or not the conspiracy was real and It didn't have a retraction on the actual show therefore what am i supposed to have believed. I did doubt it at the time and also because It wasn't...

hugh jarse: i heard sheep have great balance, penetration, shepherd players into touch, always impress during movember and herd around each other when its not going their away. However they always come off for water breaks, get busy with the due on the ground, can't defend properly and once on...

why didn't they take aidan toua he would be awesome at sevens? England are without some good players aswell so you guys are probably right up with NZ for the title Last time in 2006 i remember Gits, Lote and latho all played was wondering if gits was any good at sevens

Its not a bad idea however if you pay that much for a player you don't necessarily want him to playing at 6, no offence to blindsides but you don't get any where near as much ball as you do at 12 or 13. I dont think it was ever an option playing him at six due to his large wages and his skill...

from what i have seen from SBW in the top 14 and recently in the ITM he looks like a talent that may be ready for the world cup depending on his Super 15 campaign. He has only played about 1 season of rugby union due to injuries at toulon so should not be expected to replace nonu and smith...

"Genia's form last season was spectacular, and he had a good S14. (Though, IMHO, Burgess had a pretty decent S14 too)" Nanai two things IMO Genia had an excellent super 14 he was one of the players of the competition, it was a bit better than good, and wasn't burgess dropped for Josh Holmes...

Sorry i haven't replied earlier and repeated this on the forum before you guys viewed it, red rooster i think you ought to watch the program before you have a go, I originally started the post before the conclusion of the show when elton flately was sort of joking about it however i had to...

Over the past ten years 4 of the wallabies most capped inside backs Stephen Larkham, Elton Flately, Matt Giteau and Berrick Barnes have all worn headgear. Total Rugby has unveiled a new story, that the wallabies used speakers within the headgear to communicate with the coaches. I'm not sure...
