The Blues will be demanding underdog status behind a few grins, having seen the game in Perth n TV, but the table is misleading with some teams having byes. Until everybody has had the bye a better way to list standings is by the number of table points that have been lost with those that have...

What does everybody think about the law crackdown? Most of us were hoping that the advertised crackdown on infringements and forcing the players to keep to the laws as written would lessen the number of times the ball was killed or slowed down. To me it worked brilliantly. Dickinson is not my...

In the nearest thing to a tour I can remember since 2001 England are going to play 2 non-tests in Australia in our winter which will be in addition to the two test matches. Another is to be announced v. the NZ Maori. This is according to Alex Spink of the Mirror group...

The Heineken Cup is on again and the excitement of the game today is why I keep watching it. In the Super14 you can lose a game or two early on and it doesn't matter much if you can recover in the next month or so. You can't do that in the HC. There are 6 pools and only 4 in each pool. Each...

The success or otherwise of our EOYT depends on one's point of view: Those who say the glass is half full will say: • It was no use picking journeymen for the tour. We were forced to use inexperienced players who are are not rugby savvy. They lack a bit of confidence and on field leadership in...

9-9 at half time and the Poms are looking bloody awful. They got booed by the crowd when they went in for oranges. They're too frightened to play any rugby but that only works if you're kicking game is good and it hasn't been. Even Wilko is having trouble kicking from hand - but otherwise he's...

Leicester have completed the signing of former Wallaby winger Lote Tuqiri, a newspaper confirmed on Monday. The 30-year-old Australian, who was capped 67 times in the gold jersey, joins Welford Road at a critical time with several back-three members including Alesana Tuilagi currently out...

Let's assume that Melbourne definitely gets the 15th team – which players will realistically be available to play for them in 2011, without making pie in the sky assumptions? We don't know when the contracts of some players expire; nor do we know for certain which players were cut for 2010, let...

The big event was the debut in Top 14 rugby of Jonny Wilkinson for Toulon against Link McKenzie's visiting Stade dF team. He scored 17 points and it was good to see him looking fit and playing fit. He almost lived up to the sickening hype of the Pom commentator, except for a couple of missed...

Didn't want to start a new thread about Richie McCaw's knee - so put all the All Black stuff in here. Richie McCaw is out of the prelim tests before 3N to rest a bung knee. He didn't look like his old self against the Bulls last week did he? This from the Christchurch Press A knee injury...

I see that Sydney Boys High have pulled out of the GPS comp because of safety reasons. They don't have the cattle to play at the top level and safety is being compromised. It the article pasted below they mention that only 32 senior boys had signed up for rugby compared to 79 for soccer. It's...
