Blue's almost got it; I reckon the sound is the noise made when the scrum engages. No other sport has it (although there are some similar sounds). It's a sort of collective groan.

Spot on from E&E:

Steady on, Scotty. Australia vs Kenya (very brief highlights) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFFd_Mbq5Mo

Paarl, has this got much attention in SA? How's it being looked upon by the SA public?

Israel Dagg being the latest example of that.

Thank fuck for that.

A look into the crystal ball... the government bans alcohol sponsorship for sports events, so the sports flock to car companies... eventually, car companies are banned... then they flock to banks and insurance companies... which are in turn banned... then fast food franchises... and finally, a...

I think 8 would be a stretch for Cutch at the Super level.

Well me for one! I have a soft spot for the Welsh sides and I like Perpignan when they play well. Scarlets have Stephen Jones and Matthew Rees, and bright young inside Jonathon Davies who's been playing quite well.

Does anyone think the clubs will actually use a rotation policy? They should in my opinion. Take Pocock for instance; unless injured, it's likely he'll play all of the Tests on the EOYT, then he'll return to Australia and get a couple of weeks rest probably before he has to start pre-season for...

We'd all love to see the Wob's driving their opposition back in every single tackle, but the fact is that it's not always possible. And with some smaller blokes like Giteau, JOC (James O'Connor) and Barnes it's important that they practice more efficient tackling techniques.

You're right about making present the ball, but he doesn't just present it for his support. This is the sort of tackle that would be perfect for the Number 8/Openside scrum channel switch we saw occasionally this year, where they swap spots on the scrum; the NLI's make it beneficial for the...

For all we know they are practicing stopping attacks earlier, they just haven't put a video of it up. But we wouldn't want them to train like little Maginot's, by training on stopping them early then being completely clueless when the opposition does break through.

Not necessarily. One thing JOC (James O'Connor) does well is bootlace tackles head on; tackling by grabbing both ankles and driving right through. If you do it properly the player will drop and land almost on the spot.

Still got the same technique he's been using. He should be tackling with Barnes standing to his right advising.

Try "Urban Dictionary", it's quite good for keeping up with this stuff.

It's been a while since we've had some back bashing on G&GR...
