My guess is that we can all agree that the Wallaby scrum needs to be better. Given we have a collection of forwards who are or close to the best in Australia, how do you go about making them more effective, and why has this been so hard to achieve, since we have been hearing how bad they are for...

Two of the planet's greatest Rugby minds, (John and myself) agree on this one: "Former Wallabies coach John Connolly says Matt Giteau would be the "ideal captain" for Australia at the World Cup, calling for the ARU to relax its eligibility rules and offer the Test captaincy to help entice him...

It was reported that Racing Metro offered him 1,000,000 euro to leave Toulon, making him highest paid rugby player in the world... he declined... many people here think he is the best Rugby player in Europe. The Pommy commentators speak in awe of him.

PARIS: Former Wallaby star Matt Giteau has been named the player of the year in French rugby for the 2013/14 Top 14 season.

Living in the UK, I get to watch Toulon play nearly every week. Giteau and Mitchell are playing superbly, especially Giteau. Lets forget what ever rules the ARU has put in place and get these guys back in the Wallabies for the RWC. They make the present incumbents look like schoolboys.

St Kevin's victorious against Scotch 46-0. St Kevin's in every grand final for than twenty years. Another great performance from Skevvies

I not taking the slightest offense. I wonder what is the source of your information as to the number of rugby 'scholarships' in each of the participating schools? My understanding is that this confidential information that no school would make public. How did you find this out?

VSRU finals today. St Kevin's made a clean sweep of 1sts, 2nds, U16, U15, but very close games. No sign of 'scholarship' dominance, as was feared early in the season.

St Kevin's dominating this year, 3 games, 80+ points in each game.

Oh no, how did I suckered in to read more Crowden crap? Never again!

Looks like St Kevins has been in every Grand Final since 1995... that is an astonishing record...

Some might say that to play below expectations and still win, is the mark of a good side.

I don't get why Rugby has to be massively popular... it doesn't make any difference to me how many millions of people are watching it. As long as the Super and International games are shown on TV then I am happy.

If the Wallabies lose I will be 100% behind the All Blacks

One thing I know.. it is going to be a fantastic celebration of our great game... one we all remember for the rest of our lives... I know I will, my missus is a Kiwi... anyone else got a mixed marriage?
