^^^has to be a ruck. A soon as she got to her feet she created a ruck as at least one if not both of the red players were in physical contact with her. 16.1 Forming a ruck (b) How can a ruck form. Players are on their feet. At least one player must be in physical contact with an opponent...

Could it also be called for "sealing" in that although she put the ball down she never moved from over the ball to allow the defending players to play the ball. It appears she had no intent of allowing the ball to be played at fairly by an opposition player. IMHO its another one of the rule...

Thanks all for clarifying about the ARU jurisdiction. Sounds like a bloody mess! The NRL were aware he was looking at "other" option in November (plenty of media reporting). It was identified that a change in environment could assist with his rehab. So this may end up a player welfare issue...

"We don't have jurisdiction but we would hope other jurisdictions would enforce our sanctions," an NRL spokesperson said. Even with the ARU sanctioning the tournament I thought it was up to the home unions (where the player is contracted) to decide on sanctions? There are some pretty...

Can someone explain how the ARU has any jurisdiction to intervene with Barba and the 10's? From what I understand he has no contract with the ARU nor any Australian Union or League. I understand that the ARU may have some jurisdiction over the tournament if they sanction the event...

Except that after going to the Top League Larkham won't be at the Brumbies so it may be a moot point. Of interest to me is with a 5 August 2017 Super Rugby final and a 14 August 2017 Top League kick off it will be interesting to see how players will be able to transition from Super Rugby to the Top league and...

I think you are spot on BH. Mourad loves him and would keep him at the club in any capacity and Giteau still has "ït" based on his performances the last few week post injury. The reality is he has played very few games the last 2 years due to injuries and can see the writing on the wall so to...

Fingers crossed for Lausii Taliauli. wait and see what the scans reveal. http://www.canberratimes.com.au/rugby-union/brumbies/lausii-taliauli-in-danger-of-missing-season-after-injuring-knee-in-brumbies-trial-20170128-gu0jqf.html

His contact not being renewed was fairly public knowledge and has been for awhile. Bordeaux's owner (similar to others in the Top 14) was not impressed (AKA: mega pissed off) with AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) returning for the Wallabies. When he signed he allegedly stipulated he had no intention of returning for the...

Have they gone with a more gold colour in the stripes rather than yellow? Also it looks to me as though the neck line in incomplete, as though something is missing. It just doesn't look quite right to me. It interesting to compare philosophies and consider the strategies behind each. I can...

I think your point is very valid and has a lot of merit. If you have a look in Europe for example most financially healthy teams are privately operated. The governance forces the owner / operator (depending if its ownership pf licencing arrangements) to keep the team viable of they suffer...

I have to say I really like the concept behind this Barbarians team. Nice work Brumbies. SUPER RUGBY PRE-SEASON TRIAL Saturday: ACT Brumbies v Australian Barbarians at Viking Park, 5.30pm. Tickets: Members free, adults $10, concession $5...

One question that should be considered is how the contacting is being managed. With Larkham soon to depart but dealing with the contacts does that risk a situation like the Cheika - Tahs first year with a roster not to a new coaches liking or that suits their game plan ect? Or is this in...

You make a good point and in the the normal course of events it may be reasonable, but that would also depend on the actual players off contact, the amount of depth you still have contracted and the reasons why. What has compounded the issue is a combination of slow (or no) reactions to the...

Its interesting the situation now when you consider that Jones did all the contracting prior him being ousted. As for the Clubs (who have the balance of power), they voted to to remove him costing over $800K+ to the ACT Rugby coffers in a trade off to rearrange the deck chairs; and here we are...

Yep, the coaching change is this year (yes in the next few weeks - applications only closed recently) but the contracts are for 2018. The sheer volume of contract issues is the next worrying part. The Brumbies management style could be equated to living from week to week as there appears to...

Thanks Slim. So my thinking in red:
