New thread, for new stuff...

Eight weeks down, seven to go. The field is starting to spread out with a coupla stragglers bringing up the rear and a bunched midfield losing touch with the leading group who are a little distance back from a runaway leader. Table and matches to go listed below: Canes 32 Drua, Brumbies...

Hoops last game for the Tahs in Sydney. Let's put on a good show of G&GR force for the champ.

I'm going to make a lightning trip down and back on Saturday, any passengers welcome to join me.

Might 's well start the selection lottery early. Squad size is 31, the 2015 squad is broken down as follows: 2 hookers, 5 props, 4 locks, 6 backrowers, 2 scrummies, 2 five-eighths, 3 inside backs and 7 outside backs. I seem to recall Cheika selected two XVs due to the closeness of the first two...

Australia have been around the world a coupla times the last eight weeks while the Poms have had their feet up in Blighty. The Wallabies win over Wales looked slightly more competent than the Poms over Argentina but, it was the Soap Dodgers first hitout since, what, the 6 Nations? Anyways...

Anyone else planning to go to this match?

Anyone up for a pre-game beer around Moore Park/Surry Hills?

The last test on our EoYT for 2016, and possibly the most difficult. We can only hope and pray our Argentinean friends belt two shades of tripe out of the Poms. THIS is the test when I feel Cheika's rotation policy against the French will come to bear fruit. Is Genia available for this test...

The first of two remaining HUGE tests on our EoYT. One would presume the selectors will choose the team (+ reserves) immediately after the French test and then allocate the rest to the French Barbarians match. Will the 15/23 be sent to Ireland early in the week, or will they stay and watch the...

Is Coleman out? Does Cheik start Cooper and Genia? I'd imagine the bench will revert to 5/3 for this match.

prop: Ala'alatoa Robertson hooker: Ready lock: Arnold backrow: McMahon Mumm scrumhalf: Powell flyhalf: centre: Godwin wing: Kellaway Morahan fullback: Those in red start against the French Barbarians. To make up a 23 we need two props, a hooker, a lock, a lock/backrower+two backrowers, a...

A must win game for the Tahs. Their performances against the Chiefs and Sunwolves would seem to suggest the players have finally got Gibson's message as well as running in to a rich vein of form approaching the finals: they're working their arses off backing up, for starters, and have stopped...

Carrying on from my earlier observation about the current Tahs squad, we desperately need a coupla proper locks. Dennis (who's doing a superb job in the second row this year) is off to Blighty, Mumm would appear to be on the wane and Lousi and Skelton don't look to be developing beyond their...

version 1.0 The charges are approaching the final corner, the fancied ones are positioning themselves for a surge in the home straight and the whips are about to get cracking. An overview of the table as it now stands with six rounds to go. Crusaders (37 points/played 9/won 8/298 for/168...

Can the Tahs continue on their winning ways? One would hope a week back in their familiar beds and no travel will see the Tahs refreshed and ready to hand the Bulls a pounding. Anybody got any info on the wounded ones?

The Tahs have to scurry back from Safferland, the Cheetahs a gentle roll down the coast from Brisbane. Will the travel hamstring the Tahs? Are the Cheetahs homesick for their beloved high veldt? Only a few home games left, 'bout time we had a decent pre-match session for the G&GR faithful.
