No, but I have played in a carnival in Cape Town in August and it was cold and wet. We've had three days of steady light rain in Canberra and the next winter storm is due on Friday. I hope Jake has been getting the team out on the oval in these conditions.

Will do. Got my ACT Vets jacket and the thermals I got in Sun Peaks, Canada. A few of the ski.com.au crew have booked me for a half-day private lesson the following weekend and it should be good if this storm delivers the goods, as well as the added bonus of freezing the Cheetahs' nuts off.

LOL They're getting excited over on the ski.com.au weather forum, aren't they? I've ensured a "three foot storm" for this weekend as I'm not going to be in Thredbo!

They won't when they hear the forecast for Canberra for this weekend - rain and possible snow down to 800m elevation.

I'd like to see a top 2 finish for the Brumbies but for purely selfish reasons I'd be happy for them to finish third as I'm going to be home that weekend (19/20 July) and can make the game. I'm working in Thredbo the following weekend and won't be able to make it to see the game live at Canberra...

Fox coverage rated at 414,000 giving total FTA/Pay TV figures of 1.229 million. Fox up 17,000 and Ten down 54,000.

Lions? I ain't afraid of no Lions!

Heard on ABC radio driving home that Fotu has a fractured arm.

Just think it's a 76 point improvement from a decade ago.

So Moses and cyclopath will I be seeing you down at Thredbo this year? I'm easy to find, just look for the instructor at the Friday Flat clock tower at 0915 on Saturdays ;) The owner at Bernti's is a hoot, I've seen her in full flight. I go there when there's a game on that's not live on...

If you're at the snow, Bernti's at Thredbo has two screens and they generally show rugby on both screens in preference to league. The mungos have the bistro in the Alpine Hotel.

Add to that the lone Wallabies supporter at the Melbourne Test in 2001 who, when the tide of the match turned, belted out to the tune of "Bread of Heaven": You're not singing You're not singing You're not singing anymoooooore

Should be a good crowd - a Sunday afternoon game and Canberra has been experiencing an extended Indian Summer, plus George Smith becomes the Brumby with the most Super Rugby caps (passing George Gregan). The school and uni holidays are over so the UC students should be back to their colourful...

What are the odds that Anscombe's kick in the nuts is going to feature in 'Plays of the Week'?

It's the Canberra Times. Most people down this way know not to take the CT too seriously. If you want to know what's going on in Canberra you read the RiotACT blog.

:rolleyes: not the players, the management.

Giving it some more thought, the most accurate name would be the Uni-Randwick Waratahs.

Great selective quoting, are you a Labor politician? Note the 'but' - the fact is the Waratahs do not represent at least a third of the state of New South Wales. I have no problems if they called themselves the Sydney and Central-Northern NSW Waratahs as that would accurately reflect the...

Wikipedia, what an authoritative source. They can call themselves whatever they like but the fact is they do not represent the state of New South Wales. I live in NSW (and have done for most of my life) and the Waratahs do not represent me. I'm pleased that the New Zealand television coverage...

Don't see a problem with the Waratahs name but they are NOT New South Wales. The Waratahs franchise area ends at Nowra, Moss Vale, Cowra, Forbes and somewhere north of the lower Lachlan and Murrumbidgee rivers. The Southern Inland, Monaro and South Coast are part of the Brumbies franchise area.
