Well that's easy, if you want NIne to show rugbyh live in future don't watch the block this Tuesday! An email bombardment of Stephen Conroy's office may yield some results (they need all the popularity they can get). email: mailto:senator.conroy@aph.gov.au phone: (03) 9391 4952 or 03...

Jim Carmichael, the QRU CEO has a background in AFL. Maybe that is an area where the NSWRU should look when the position next becomes available.

For the Parra supporters on here - how old is the halfback from Saturday, Grech? Had a very good pass which is missing in at least one OZ S15 franchise.

The loss of Muggleton has hurt the 'tahs more than anyone could have realised. Who is the new defence coach?

or you join a great club like the Typhoons to go on tour with the Tequila Mockingbirds! (not that my wife ever gave me leave to tour, but it was great playing for the 'phoons)

I read this and my mind flashed back to Johannesburg (?) 2003 and watching poor Steve Kefu getting smashed repeatedly by De Wet Barry as the Wallabies (N Grey at flyhalf?) failed to provide 'another option'. From memory he had a similar player outside him that day (can't remember who though)...

I'll have a crack bearing in mind the game against Scotland is 4 days earlier and the Reds and Force coming off the bye .... v Scotland 1 Slipper 2 Hanson 3 Maafu 4 Horwill 5 Simmons 6 Higginbotham 7 Pocock 8 McCalman 9 Genia 10 Lucas / Cooper 11 Ioane 12 Tapuai 13 Fainga'a 14 Shipperly 15 Harris...

How many years later was it that Max Currie went to Southern and took half the Parramatta players with him? Something Parramatta have never really recovered from.

and those of us who had watched him in Shute Shield last year and were calling for the Brumbies to select him ahead of Phibbs and the other average half they had (name escapes me at present) are still wondering WHY? Glad to see him finally get a run and prove all of us armchair supporters right...

Sorry, missed that one. What did he do to poor Lara?

I did say "I". I don't like union representation on the board of any company.

No mention of Saffy as a potential 6. Not tall enough or not playng particularly well (haven't seen enough Rebels games to judge)?

I would love to see the ARU board reduced to 7 directors, 5 independent and 2 executive directors (CEO and Director of Rugby). The independent directors should be voted for by all rugby clubs in Australia (one vote per club - not sure how to deal with schools though). The clubs committees would...

I know in all my playing days the clubs I played for didn't coach basic skills let alone an advanced skill set which is why I believe the clubs struggled for both numbers (they were getting flogged too often due to a lack of technique) and players didn't bother attending training as it was...

Must be Volavola. Is he still with Souths or has he joined the exodus?

I thought Volavola was a Parramatta player. I am sure the ABC commentators referred to him as having Tongan rather than Fijian heritage.

Does anyone know if the young flyhalf from Southern Districts is running around again this year (think his name started with a V - has Tongan heritage)? Thought he did really well in the games he was on tv last year.

I hope Lyndon Bray doesn't get anywhere near the IRB head of referees as IMO he has done a poor job with super rugby. Think they should go with retired NH referee (Chris White?) for the next 5 years. Whoever replaces Paddy we should all be hoping that they restore the reputation of the position...

Does anyone else think it strange that a 21 year old Gregan struggling to establish himself as a starting Wallaby would be able to put 'tremendous' pressure on supposedly younger players (who was younger than Gregan in the 1995 Wallabies? - possibly Steve Merrick but he'd already usurped GG as...

With the expansion of Super rugby to 15 teams (and the likelihood it will be 18 after 2015) there is no room in the rugby calendar for an ARC. The best players not playing S15 are already playing club rugby in Sydney, Brisbane and Canberra. Putting a new competition in under S15 is continuing a...
