http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/union-news/job-in-the-bag-now-new-coach-must-win-on-field-20130712-2pvg3.html Was waiting to see what crap Spiro would come up with in his man-love for Robbie. Loved the bit about not counting the All Black losses his winning percentage was 71%. What other Oz...

Surely Matt Burke and Lachie Turner should be swapped around. Also, haven't heard much of John Ballesty before how many Wallaby games (roughly) did he play? Would have thought Scott Johnson (Scotland coach not sure of spelling of last name) would have been in the frame there.

We didn't lose that game due to the referreing. Thought he was pretty spot on with the decisions, though Alexander was unlucky to be binned. Kepu made an improvement when he came on though as it stemmed the flow a little.

60' and George North scores. The Wallabies need to change the game up by bringing on impact players off the bench. Who does Deans have on the bench McCalman and Simmons, serviceable? yes, game breakers? no. Selection is a game changer in coaching and Deans has invariable gotten it wrong...

would be a good use of a foreign marquee spot whilst we train up some youngsters ready to replace TPN.

In the 6N France don't play themselves when they achieve the Grand Slam either. As for this being a 'Grand Slam' tour that is a misnomer. This is a Home Nations plus Italy tour, if they go through undefeated then they will have achieved the Grand Slam. Nit-picking I know.

Hong Kong? Ex-pat market, lots of corporate dollars.... good time zone.

I think the current laws are fine (though the scrums should be brought closer together prior to the hit and the ball fed into the centre of the tunnel) the problem IMHO is the adjudicating and lack of yellow cards. If I were to change any law it would be to have players able to receive multiple...

Not sure if this is the thread but would love to see Pulver re-institute the Australian Rugby Shield with a couple of extra teams - Sydney (Combined Subbies), Brisbane (Combined Subbies), ACT (players not contracted to the Brumbies) and Combined Services. Playing it post season would be good and...

Save it for its own thread Galah.

As Lily so eloquently put it - this is not the thread for third tier discussion. If you have a look at the Rugby Discussion thread you are sure to find a plethora of threads on this topic where what you have proposed has been discussed ad nauseam.

From: http://www.espnscrum.com/scrum/rugby/story/182286.html I know it is pie cart but this was apparently said in an interview. If it is true that he went to watch the Manly game today hopefully he will have learnt that there already exists an excellent developmental competition (with 2...

So their contract did not run until the next AGM which happened to be last week. Surely beginning a new 3 year term is a new contract? p.s. not trying to have a go at you personally TOCC just really upset at the poor level of governance apparent in the ARU at present and the future...

Three Year terms? Elected Unopposed? Why are the directors of the ARU on three year terms. Should be 1 year. If this report had been released to stakeholders earlier I wonder if they would have been elected unopposed.

Marquee spot has been filled for 2014 by Mathewson. Pity though as he would've been a great pick-up for the Force.

I'd swap JO'C and Morahan around. Rabbit would warrant to much money to be played on the wing at super level (he has played rugby and is not a league convert - who normally play on the wing for huge amounts of money).

Maybe even the Saffa teams as well! :)

As we seem to have strayed from the original topicinto another thread about 3rd teir concepts here is my 2c: 10 teams - WA, Vic, Canberra, Top 2 Shute Shield (minor premiers and premiers if they are the same than the runners up gets the gig), a 3rd Sydney team made up of players from the...

Not sure where else to put this so thought here might work best. From Greg Growden on ESPN: Haven't seen or heard this announced anywhere. Will he follow JO'N to ECHO? Seems to follow him everywhere else he goes. The bold bit, if it proves true (tis from GG after all) should make our own...

KNow how you feel Scoey, I finished playing at the end of '09 due to a shoulder injury I picked up midway through the season (I never had the unfortunate circumstance ofinjury entering the pitch as I knew my body well enough to spend 5 minutes stretching before even thinking about breaking into...
