G&G, Long time no see. I was wondering if anyone knows of any good rugby COACHING podcasts. Obviously there's plenty of great rugby podcast content (the G&G one included) with pretty decent analysis but I'm looking for something more specific with a higher lever on analysis. I feel like...

G&Gers, I am involved in ammo rugby and as a former front rower I admit my knowledge of back 3 play is probably lagging behind the rest of my knowledge base. Any chance someone could give me a coaching resource (preferably a Youtube video) to help plug that particular issue? Thanks in advanced.

The only 2 things that are 100% confirmed with this story are: a) Benji will not play for the Tiger next year. b) Benji has said he will never play for any NRL club other than the Tigers. This leaves either, the English Super League (league) or a plethora of options in rugby union. So far...

Like it or loath it, it would appear out "3rd tier" will take the form of a much expanded EPS program taking our squads to 45-50 and B games taking place prior to Aussie derbies, labelled "Super B". Not ideal, but it's affordable, realistic, and better than what we've got. Article from...

Between him and Tim Visser Scotland's back 3 is looking mighty impressive.

G&Gers, Does any body here have a good knowledge about scrum machines? Some details that would be handy to me include: Different types/models Advantages V Disadvantages of the models Best and worst bang for your buck and anything else you could think of Cheers.

Gagger..ers, As many of you may know I've been posting on this forum for the better part of 4 years and I think it's fair to say I try to contribute to discussions with reasonably well thought out views (at least half the time). Basically, it's getting to the point that I'm finishing up a...

So, I don't know if you guys have seen them but there are a few rugger recruitment websites floating around the web that are aimed at players that are talented, but not to professional standard. Probably a level many of you blokes belonged to. I personally would love to spend a year playing...

I just watched Tawera Kerr-Barlow play a pretty good game for the Mooloos in the ITM Cup, I've had my eye on him for a while. He is a pretty decent player and can be considered an Aussie. Now, I'm not saying this fellow is a certainty as the next big thing and I'm not a huge fan of this recent...

I think we all know what we would consider a terrific "Clubman". Someone that lives and breaths for the team/province/club they associate themselves with, we all know a heap of these people at our local clubs. But who is Australia's Great Professional Clubman, the players that's love of...

Interesting article and a great discussion piece here. It basically says SBW would be a good winger for the ABs with Nonu staying at Inside. A good thought as the AB wingers have had some ordinary form in Super rugger this year. However, SBW has been playing the better rugby this year...

ED: GUYS JUST TO LET YOU KNOW I'VE CREATED A NEW THREAD FOR THIS! SO EN_FORCE_ER'S ARGUMENT STARTS OUT OF NO WHERE, BUT YOU GUYS SHOULD GET THE PICTURE! Perth, whilst a very attractive city, probably doesn't have the appeal to a young man like Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney have. Canberra's...

I've been having a dickens of a time finding a website that appears to be running a Super rugby fantasy league for 2011. Fox Sports has listed NRL for 2011 but not Super rugby. Any information Gaggers?

Gents, There doesn't appear to be a thread for this Tournament and I'd love to have a chat about it. The winner of this tournament will go in being perhaps the 3rd or 4th country most likely to win the World Cup (though we all know anything can happen at world cup time). So, who are we...

Ok, to flog a dead horse that I personally find very interesting here is a proposed Australian 3rd tier competition. I thought long and hard and I think you’ll find it acknowledges the importance of Club rugby in the make-up of Aussie rugby and is pretty feasible. It would exist to identiy...

That's right! The Japanese thread symbol has finally been used again! But onto what I wanted to discuss. Japanese RFU is a union that has money and is showing improved performances on the field (through IRB Pacific Nations Cup). Other notable things about Japanese Rugby: They, unlike the...

I haven't seen or heard anything about Craig Wing since he left for Japan, but I'm curious. How is he doing over there? All I know is his wikipedia article says he has been playing 5/8. I think he'd be a good buy for a franchise over here, he has a squeaky clean record, is well know in...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbBQKFR0Rsk&feature=player_embedded Great win by the Trevisian boys, 34-28 over the Scarlets. Addmitedly this was probably not a full strength Scarlets side but as I'm of Venetian decent I'm more than happy to see the rugby up their is coming along smoothly...

What's the deal with the big 3M? Is he coming home next year? Or, alternatively, is he at least in negotiations to come home next year? Also has he gotten over his injury troubles? I always liked the look of him and I'm curious. If he came home surely he'd be in the mix for the WC squad.

Does anyone know how the NZ S14 draft system works? I know that each S14 franchise are allotted 3-4 NZ Provinces and from them they choose their "protected" players, but how to the rest get dolled out? Also how does S.Brett opt to play for another S14 province when he would be one of the...
