For those interested, below is a list of the pre-season games involving Super teams this year. As usual, most won't be televised, although there may be some on radio (or just live updates via web or twitter). There will be a reliance on spectator or press reports. Looks like 3 of the Saffa...

Looks like the impasse *may* have been resolved. with cash..... Saru broker deal with Kings, save Lions July 15 2012 at 12:30pm By Zelim Nel The Lions will not be relegated from Super Rugby next year as the Southern Kings have accepted an offer from the South African Rugby Union (Saru)...

I saw this issue raised elsewhere, but thought I'd repeat it here in the wake of the Scotland test in Newcastle. If players like Genia and Ioane are shivering and getting so cold out there in these sorts of conditions that it is affecting motor-control, causing them to be sub-par, etc., then...

Reportedly with blood clots on his brain. Hopefully he comes through ok. Link to story MICHAEL Lynagh - one of Australia's greatest rugby union players - is in a Brisbane hospital after reportedly suffering a stroke. The Courier-Mail understands Lynagh, 48, was visiting his hometown of...

Interesting article. Don't know about all the associated commentary (and in fairness, won't quote it all) but it looks like Paddy's time is up at last: Paddy O’Brien shifts sideways by Brendan Fanning Posted on March 23, 2012 The IRB will soon be advertising for a new referees manager as...

Wrote this down elsewhere, but thought I'd re-post here for those who may have an interest in the 130 years of Rugby rivalry across the Tweed. Rugby between New South Wales and Queensland kicked off back in 1882, although the contests were often one-sided in the early years. The Southern Rugby...

With soccer in Australia a summer sport, why not Rugby in England? Plenty of reasons for it. It would not unduly surprise to see this happen in the next 2-3 years (linky). Why Premiership clubs are joining with the French in move towards summer rugby By Paul Ackford, Telegraph: 11:00PM...

Interesting potential developments. • English, French and South African super league planned • Rival bid on table for eight-team World Club Championship Secret plans to transform European domestic rugby union are being considered by French and English sides keen to put the professional...

Okay. In a similar vein to a previous thread on The ladder there seems to be a discrepancy between various websites on the format of the finals (and, in particular, the semi-finals) this year. superxv.com says: 1 v winner(3 v 6) 2 v winner(4 v 5) but superrugby.com.au says: 1 v...

Reds lucky to get away with the win but they played themselves to a standstill. For mine: 3. Radike Samo 2. Scott Higginbotham 1. Beau Robinson (Stu had a poor game).

Everyone knows the drill: 3. James O'Connor 2. David Pocock 1. David Smith Fantastic effort from the team. Great match that didn't quite have the magical ending.

Brisbane's win yesterday in A-League grand final was the most amazing games of soccer I have ever seen! The Roar were the better side most of the match but couldn't score against a good Central Coast Mariners team. Extra time at 0-0 and then the Mariners promptly make it 0-2 with a couple...

Damn! Great game tonight just couldn't quite close it out and had to settle for the draw. The Force were excellent all round. Richard Graham is building a good team. I just wanted to start one of these threads, so your votes 3, 2, 1, (points) please. For me; 3. James O’Connor 2. Matt Hodgson...

I took a look at the new Super Rugby draw, when under another guise, but thought it might be worth posting here. This may have all been covered before, but at least I can say I've started a thread! Plenty of arguments to be had over the relative strengths of the new Super Rugby...
