There'll be a meeting of the iRB in London shortly to decide which ELVs to keep and which to jettison. One NH journalist has taken an open-minded view of their application and effect. Have a squiz at Peter Bills' comments...

The Tahs play the Saders on Saturday, 21 March at the Olympic Stadium/Stadium Australia/Telstra Stadium/ANZ Stadium, whatever that bloody thing at Homebush is called. Our Dear Leader and Founder, Scarfie, has called a meeting of the TYS faithful for that night. Could all Sydneysiders put the...

Oz: Vickerman and Barnes out. Moore in for TPN, Smith for Waugh, Baxter for Dunning, Mortlock to 12 and Cross in. Sharpe to get a final chance and MMM and Mumm to vie for the pine.
