Prodigy, Is Jim Garroway still playing at Epping?

Geez, the author made a couple of glaring mistakes in his summary of Jake White. Rudolph Strauli (sp.?) was responsible for Camp Staaldrad and White has only started with the Brumbies in recent times, not the four years alluded to in the article. The RFU seems to be plush with money maybe...

Fellas, we usually do a poll post season's internationals ending for each position and post the results for everyone to comment on and select a team to play against them. Do the mods want to do it early this year (happy to organise again if this is the case)?

The other thing with league guys is you don't want them getting in the ear of some of our young players about how they would 'tear it up' in leagues ala Matty Johns with Quade in '07. Muggleton, Kiss and Blake developed into great rugby defence coaches through spending time in the game at lower...

The breakdown laws aren't the problem a lot of the time it is the referee's application of the law (or failure to do so - in the case of Bryce Lawrence) that is causing problems. The KISS simple would be good if followed - Tackler release and roll away, player in possession releases the ball...

I have met him and can attest that he is a good bloke in person. Watched the opening Bledisloe in '06 with him HK Phooey, Toots and Snowy - all the latter of whom post on tsf in a bar in HK. Watching the Wallabies get reamed was painful but it was made bearable by the good nature of the Kiwi...

Just listening to Ray announce this on his show he didn't know what Andrew Slack had accomplished in rugby, thought he was just the Channel 9 sports Brisbane commentator. The game will be on HD (GEM) live.

Again with the private school bashing fellas? This is so old and tiresome. What about the other sides that get their players from private schools? Paarl will hopefully correct me if I'm wrong but don't most of SA's players come from their private school system? The Wallabies lack of physicality...

Top game of rugby today, gripping throughout. Any word on why Tilse started ahead of Paddy Ryan as the Uni scrum improved as soon as Paddy came on.

The forearm contact annoys me when it is the last man with his arm resting on his mates back and head up looking around. For mine he is not bound and fair game for the opposition - that should be a penalty for obstruction unless they have changed the definition of binding from head and shoulders...

I may be dreaming but I think you need to take a look at the pic Mica posted. It shows Kepu to be in line with the middle of the ruck and POC moving forward with Genia reaching in to get the ball. POC looks to be a step in front of the hindmost feet of the last Irish feet in the ruck judging...

Macqueen didn't win the tri-nations until 2000. Think he was the first (and from memory the only) Australian coach to achieve the Bledisloe whitewash. Can anyone remind me what Robbie had achieved with the Wallabies when he was reappointed earlier this year?

I can't remember think it was in the 2nd half though.

Watching the game against Ireland on the weekend, does anyone else think the penalty awarded to Ireland for Genia / Kepu obstruction against POC should have gone the other way? Watching the game it appeared that POC had rushed out of the line before Genia had passed the ball from the ruck...

Does anyone know much about the anti-siphoning rules regarding Wallaby matches? I thought they had to be telecast live on free to air but 9 isn't showing the Ireland game until 8:40 Sydney time (which is 10:40 in NZ)....
