While the NSW NRC teams seem to be dithering the Brumbies/Vikings seem to be on a full season cycle. Currently the Under 20s are being played and at least three players have been pegged for significant roles with EPS or development contracts. Jooste, Lomax and Jackson-Hope. Reckon you could...

Brumbies TV on One has thrown up a coincidence in that all the guests have scored tries. Episode 1 prior to Game 1 - Guests Carter and Fardy Episode 2 this week Tomane and Lealiifano Might have players queued up to be interviewed by Stephanie Brantz

Interesting that after the Yellow Card the Tah's did a Roberto Duran "No Mas"

While at the other end, a comment in 'The Code' mentioned that the Brumbies came back fitter than previously. Should benefit 4 of the Aussie Super Rugby sides.

Market forces are already at work QLD Private schools are doing the job for ARU in the past. Victoria were raided for schoolboy talent. Early examples LLoyd Johansson, Digby Ioane, Ben Tapaui. WA has recently lost Jayden Ngamanu and Jean Charl Smith. SA with UJ Seuteni and Tas with Nili Fielea...

This years NRC may be more intriguing in the make up of the squad. Some of the Brumbies personnel decisions could influence this team. As the Super Rugby players are parachuted in and out go the JID foot slogger’s. I expect the Vikings to take the maximum number of Super Rugby players...

Back off on the bias - disagree with this as Isaac Thompson. Good pedigree from NZ. Stuck locally in NZ behind Aaron Cruden. Injuries at wrong times. Now 28 and time running out to make as Super Rugby or higher level. JID Grand Final behind Rod Iona who was at time contracted Brumby. I do not...

Disappointing post as McKellar had moved on from Vikings to Brumbies. Was to have coached UC Canberra Vikings as part of input from Brumbies. Larkham's call up to Wallabies affected this as McKellar's role changed to incorporate bigger picture and Brumbies Interests. Brad Harris as coach not a...

My opinion is to disagree because of the composition of the Back row. I believe Rowan Perry provided more balance to the team as a Reserve. If you look at Canberra Vikings team for 2015 there was a reliance on Brumbies for the Back row in Jordan Smiler at 6 (VC), Jarrad Butler at 7 © and Ita...

Has Rowan Perry got a team yet?

The hard decision is if he can make it through the 4 year cycle. I don't want to rain on Jordan Smiler's parade as he is 30 and was half out the Brumbies door to France but family considerations changed that and has options to move. So here are my contenders by age Jordan Smiler aka...

Here are two successes, the first Matt Hodgson and Pek Cowan uncapped prior to the Force and they have stayed for the 10 years and earned 223 caps for the Force and have been fringe Wallabies. The Force has had 13 home grown player in this period without counting John Welborn who finished his...

I am lost and confused by this proposal. 2014 Canberra Vikings a three way partnership between UC, Brumbies and Vikings make a small profit. 2016 - brumbies coming off their biggest financial loss want Vikings excluded and be an ACT representative team with some collaboration from the...

It looks like the haters have won. This is in the context of a Brumbies President election. Who is going to replace the Vikings group money. Can't see a sizable increase in crowd because of the name change.

What has become of Joel Pender?

Currently Brumbies signed 33 less Wallabies 8 + Cubelli +17 Vikings leaves 7. I had not counted Abel at that stage.

There are a couple of elephant's in the room. 1. Waratah engagement with NSW franchises is probably less than desired and is probaly not going to be an better in 2016 and my concern is that say all there non Wallabies are injured and require surgery and are not sighted in the NRC. 2. The ARU...

I would rest the Japanese based flexible contracts next year and give them some rest early in the cycle. Beale at Full Back for Folau Christian Lealifano for Foley but thinking about Jack D Ita Vaea for McCalman For the European based would only pick on NH tours Kervei for Giteau but start...
