Ok just the end of the Springbok emblem? http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/union-news/boks-emblem-bumped-off-20101001-1612c.html

Some very interesting views expressed by Link Mackenzie on the Wallabies and ABs, in particular the "so called revelations" of Beale and Turner, the myth of the lack of depth in Oz Rugby and the excuse of injuries for poor performance, and the selection of Giteau as Wallabies kicker. Link is...

I'll start from the Randwick Club I would say that IM there are four Super Level Players who to my knowledge have not been signed to any level contract yet seem to have the good against the Super level players they have met head to head. 2 - John Fonokalafi 3 - Lotu Taukeiaho In the last...

We haven't had a sell out in any of the tests this year and some were very poorly attended. Have a look at the Free to Air results for the Bled Vs the League and AFL. The Bled got an Average (approximates) of over 300K the League 700K (though this was a double header and skews the results)...

1. Robinson 5 - Scrum under pressure, played well in the loose. 2. Moore 5 - Scrum under pressure, missed the strike at least 3 times. Good in the loose 3. Ma'afu 4 - Scrum under pressure, get an extra two points for his good defensive effort and a great steal. 4. Chisholm 4 - One carry...

http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/union-news/wallabies-face-fine-for-any-haka-high-jinks-before-bledisloe-test-20100909-153c9.html As one with a smattering of Maori ancestry I have always enjoyed the Haka. My only allegiance is to Oz though and this preciousness requiring official protection...

1. Robinson 6.5 - Holding up the LHP and starting to get his dominance back. Both Du Plesis and Vander Linde were angling in to negate him effectively. 2. Moore 7 - Throwing was excellent, front row work well done except for the one missed strike which looked like a particularly good Bok...

http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/sport/aru-looks-to-extend-oneills-reign/story-e6frg7o6-1225913015430 Given the rising level of angst regarding Deans who was hand picked by JON is this surprising. Personally I think JON is one of the best administrators in Oz. I know his axing of the...

1. Robinson 6.5 - scrum solid, started to see his linking game and made a couple of carries this week. 2. S. Faaingaa 4 - Scrum solid, lineout throwing poor, even before the rash of losses at the end of the game his throwing was wonky. Fell off a few tackles as well. 3. Ma'afu 4 - Scrum...

I cannot see Deans making any changes to the run on team that he gushed over after the CC test excepting of course Cooper and maybe a 4:2 split on the bench (not that the bench matters with Deans) Hence I predict :- 1. Robinson 2. Fainga'a 3. Maafu 4. Mumm 5. Sharpe 6. Elsom 7. Pocock...

Haven't seen a thread on this so far. Wallaroo's start their campaign 7am Saturday (NSW EST). Squad :- (plagarised from the ARU site) Iliseva Batibasaga (Qld), Nicole Beck (NSW), Tricia Brown (Qld), Cheyenne Campbell (Qld), Rebecca Clough (WA), Kristy Giteau (ACT), Alexandra Hargreaves...

Today Elsom is quoted as saying (paraphrased) the team is settled and happy with where they are at. He further states that he doubts there will be any move to 8 for him. http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/union-news/too-soon-to-ring-alarm-bells-on-cup-prospects-20100814-1240g.html The we...

1. Robinson - 7 getting back to full fitness. Started to show his linking around the park. Scrum work still down a bit but grip strength in binding arm may still be down a bit. 2. S. Fainga'a - 5 Good defensively around the park. Lineout was good. Caught out defensively on one massive...

Wallaby Number 541 Wallaby 1971-1974 http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/union-news/wallaby-jeff-mclean-dead-at-63-20100806-11o9a.html

Is it time to sack Deans? I think we need to at least clean out the assistants and replace with Foley for the Pigs and Mooney for the backs. Nucifora to have no say in selections. Deans to be told to start selecting on merit, that is on performance, form and potential. If Deans...
