Gareth Edwards has been spotted in Sydney...

Could you expand on this?

Interesting to see that Tom Tombleson is one of the S and C coaches for the Tahs - also a winger at Randwick.

Too much negativity on the forums these days. Enjoy this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOUXP71o5A4&feature=related

Isn't there a difference between a pass that travels forward and a pass that is thrown forward? The latter being a forward pass.

Well, I thought it was funny. No, you're probably right. I'm being too 10. Aaron Cruden...

Long sleeves go a long way when trying to catch the slippery ball.

Which one?

Yep, he was RH. An AFL coach would be pretty good to have in the Wallaby camp, as long as all they teach is kicking, maybe catching the high ball. I saw a tackle in AFL once; the crowd booed and the refs gave a penalty.

With enough practice, they become second nature to kick. From my experience it's only as hard to kick a torpedo under pressure as a punt. Good video on how to torpedo kick properly: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PazJjTLF0a4

Torpedo kicks are better. But one little piece of advice is to focus on the contact between your foot and the ball. It sounds stupid, but focus on kicking the ball; don't focus on your legs arc or look up, keep eye contact with the ball and focus on your contact.

Yeah dobby, I use the league tees too. I'm interested in the low tees, though, I'd like to try one out. I have a theory that kicking the point of the ball is easier to fuck up and miss-kick, and maybe hitting the wide side of the ball will be more like kicking a soccer ball.

One thing I've noticed is the tees used by kickers. Morne Steyn and Dan Carter are regarded as the top kickers, at least in the SH. Both of them use a very low cut tee and place the ball upright, only leaning slightly towards the goal. All of the Aussie kickers have a much lower angle...

I think most people's book is pretty similar to the iRB Law Book.

Didn't work so well for the Landers last week, though, rsa. Force will need a strong all round game to take the Highlanders. I'm actually hoping that the Force have a season like the Highlanders have had this year in the next few years; part giant killer, part finals contender.

Not lately, but he's definitely a fetcher, so that should balance the Reds backrow. Bit of a cattledog, as Lee Grant would put it.

You know what, that's a pretty decent side, considering the injuries. Good to see Hickey packing a 5:2 bench split, they're going to need it. I think this team can roll the Bulls, if they play it right. For the record, I don't give a shit how they win. Winning against the Bulls at home will...

I think the main difference between the clip from the Shorks game and the kick chases against the Brumbies, and the other two clips is the distance involved. The original Chariots clip was pretty harsh on TC. Chavanga is fecking rapid, and he was basically a metre or less behind Carter...

They should've cloned an Emergency George Smith years ago, kept in a glass case at ARU headquarters.
