    Canberra Vikings - Offical NRC Team Thread

    Does that mean the Vikings get to charge Ground Hire Fees from the ACT Kookaburras at Wanniassa. Wonder if it will be a clear stadium.

    Waratahs 2016

    I was thinking of Mumm prior to the World Cup how he was braining it in the UK. He left here as a square peg in a round hole. Not abrasive enough.

    RUPA supports a Draft System - Wayne Smith 'Australian'

    Another Selected quote from the article - " The issue of a draft also raises the associated problem of compensating the states that produce most of the players who do move interstate — NSW and Queensland — for the work they did in developing them. " Payment to Shute Shield and QPR teams by...

    Shute Shield 2016

    Waratahs 2016

    What I might find ironic is that Tilse moves off shore and wows them in Europe and then the revisionist come in and we live in a parallel universe where it was underhanded treatment of Tilse holding back the Tahs.

    RUPA supports a Draft System - Wayne Smith 'Australian'

    Further selective quote "Wallabies coach Michael Cheika has repeatedly warned that a draft would be pointless if all it achieved was an equalisation of talent in the Australian franchises that created five teams that basically finish mid-table. Only if a way could be found to make all of those...

    Waratahs v Highlanders - Super Rugby R4 2016

    Reasons for Roach if he doesn't compromise Tah's scrum. Even though it is already compromised. 1. It's a change - a least appear to do something 2. Tah version of Pooper 3. May change pace of game in defence 4. Could work on attack

    Waratahs v Highlanders - Super Rugby R4 2016

    Something that has gone under the radar or is a given. The Tah's have missed Foley this year. Kafer mentioned in the first half runners were unsure where to be for an off load when Beale was running the ball. I also think NSW are unbalanced in the Second Row with the division of tasks, Line...

    The Wallabies Thread

    I take it this is for the matches against England. Even though Chieka has a conservative side to selection I am basing on now as at Round 3 and would prefer exposed form from injured and overseas No Giteau rule in 2016 and all bets off for Bledisloe 1. Sio 2. Moore 3. Holmes 4. Simmons 5...

    Brumbies vs Waratahs - Round 2, 2016

    Most laughable was that SANZAR judiciary has declared all games are equal - Test = Super Rugby= Club Competition = Trial game. Pity the sevens wasn't on this weekend coming Latu could have got credit with 6 games in a weekend. Hope Latu was starting for Sydney University would hate for him...

    Ideas for NRC

    I know hope is not a plan but with the NSW NRC franchises. I hope that the three head coaches are not current Shute Shield head coaches. Even if NSWRU do'nt take a lead I hope for them to invest intellectually for their benefit. I would keep Jim Williams and hope for say a Phil Waugh and...
