You are right, it was 2012. He missed the 2014 June internationals after getting surgery.

When available Genia has always been the wallabies no.1. Just doing a simple bit of research then, he missed 8 wallabies test matches in 2013 due to a knee injury, in 2014 he missed lots of football after been injured during the June international period. So basically a large part of 2 years of...

A positive result for Leicester this weekend could see To'omua arrive in Melb earlier than expected.

My thought process on the aussie sides having 2 teams in the finals is that the South African sides will drop off. The bulls have 4 games to go on tour, the sharks 3 and a game in Argentina, the jaguares 4 games on tour and the Hurricanes and Crusaders both need to tour the republic. Stormers...

Rebels, Brumbies and Reds all have more home games remaining than away matches. From here the Aussie conference should have 2 teams in the finals if they aim up for most of those matches.

Welcome and thanks for your input. You never no in modern rugby with teams joining certain leagues

It’s a good pick up from the Wallabies. Personally I think it means that it’s Gordon’s spot to lose the 3rd no.9 position at the WC. The only thing I will say with White is he needs the right system around him and I guess this goes for all players. He was underwhelming at Montpellier but has...

Rich Freeman who is normally the best Japanese source going around has said the proposed changes will see the top league change into a promotion/relegation format with 8 teams in a league instead of 24 teams starting the year in the same level. The company teams will most likely remain and there...

It won’t be, it’ll be streamed on rugby.com.au. Only u20s that’s televised is the u20s WC

Before we engage the outrage machine, let’s remember they play 3 games in 7 days, so selections will be with that I mind. This will also be our “easiest” match

Even tho it’s not going to happen with injuries, etc. add Petaia, Hardy and Semisi Tupou and that’s a pretty handy u20s generation this year.

Good news, I keep thinking he should be pushing for a bench spot by now but then remind myself he’s a lot younger than I think. Another genuine Vic talent, the team is starting to push through some of its own talent which can only be a good thing for all the Aus sides

Yeh he’s been there abouts for a month now, it’s been a strange one but the club to their credit has been playing on the side of caution. I’m hearing that Robbie Abel is looking like signing with the Blues for next season.

I think it’s more just bad play. On saying that it doesn’t help having the bye in week 1, then touring SA and not getting the week off after it like most teams do. We are still in a very strong position with 4 home games and a trip to Japan to come. Realistically only need to win 3 of those...

For a short term measure and especially for a team that if they finish the season well could play finals, I’d be throwing a short term contract to Nathan Charles. Last year he was solid for the Rebels when given an opportunity, you know he can play at Super Rugby level, happy to play squad member and...

I’d be playing him for the 4 home games, win those 4 and it’s a high possibility you make the finals. So it’s got to be 2 of Rebels, Chiefs and Brumbies. It’d be resting him in the two most likely losses in that list. I don’t think their way to the finals will be as conference champions, so it’d...

Connacht have qualified for the Pro14 finals

Pretty much bang on the money. I’d still put Jones over Dempsey. Despite two average performances (not bad ones) he has been close to the best player in Australia all season. Foley won the battle on Saturday over Cooper, although at half time Cooper was winning the war but lost it for a...

Our girls went down to what has been a very ordinary England side all season in the qtrs. If France get a good result our automatic Olympics spot is in threat going to the last round. Their decline has been rather alarming all season, they are very (dare I say it) wallaby like with their side...

Looks like for the second week in a row a balls up for the 7s coverage. Currently not available in Australia
