    Ben Tune - battle with depression

    Wow just read the article Ben wrote, it was a no holds barred account that must have taken a huge amount of courage to write, hats off to you Ben. Just shows that the Black Dog doesn't care who you are or what you have done, it can strike anyone at anytime. I'm sure there are more stories like...

    REBELS v STORMERS RD 14

    If the Rebels play for 80 minutes and if they play rugby like they have in the past couple of weeks we could sneak a win. Eventhoigh the Stormers have lost a couple of front line players they won't rollover, they'll play hard and fast rugby and the Rebels forwards are going to need to counter...

    2013 Giro d'Italia

    Been an interesting first week of the Giro. If Wiggins looses more time I'd be surprised if he actually finishes the Tour, he'll pull out an continue his preparation for Le Tour. Great to see Cadel riding so well given his "poor form" in the months leading up to May.

    Kurtley in Trouble Again

    It's sad, he's a young guy in his early twenties who has to live in the public & media spotlight, any mistake no matter how minor is going to be replayed over & over. He has a problem that he needs to deal with not only for his rugby career but for the sake of his life. I hope the ARU etc...

    Running

    Having not been a runner for about 10 years due to injury, thought it was time I eased my way back into it. I do a lot of bike riding 100-150km a week, but am finding my fitness has plateaued somewhat so I'll try a few runs to see if it helps. Will be starting the Couch to 5k over the...

    2013 Giro d'Italia

    I'm watching it or trying to watch it, usually get to about 30kms from the finish then fall asleep. Wiggins not a happy camper following the loss of time a couple of nights ago, Cadel looks good, just don't think hes in it to win it, just getting some form back. Think Nibali will take the...

    Kurtley in Trouble Again

    Agree, how many chances will the ARU & The Rebels give the guy? I don't understand how he can have a month on the sidelines and then be accepted back to the fold only to transgress less than a week later, what was he thinking. He could have been a great player, but I don't think he'll ever get...

    New Zealand Rugby Team Watch

    Really concerned about the AB's this year given the Super 15 results. If the Wallabies can bring their Super rugby form to the Lions Tour and then the Rugby Championship we could be a world of hurt.

    REBELS v CHIEFS Round 12

    Will be a close game, if the Rebels can play for 80 minutes then they have a good chance of winning on Friday, if they close down after 60mins like usual they'll end up coming 2nd. Looking forward to going to the rugby seems like a long time since the last home match.

    Hundred pushup challenge

    Thanks for the heads up, I have the book at home & think its great. I was wondering if there was an app, it's a whole lot easier to take your phone with you than the book especially when travelling.

    Greatest Australian Sporting Achievement

    I went with Adam Scott's win yesterday, golf is such a mental sport and to comeback from his capitulation at The Open last year takes enormous mental strength & character. He showed so mucgh potential when he first came on the seen and to finally get the win it a great thing for him and for...

    Rebels vs Kings Super Rugby R9 - Saturday April 13

    I guess at the end of the day it is only a game and given what has happened in Boston this morning puts things into perspective. As a New Zealander living in Melbourne I'm stoked that we have a rugby team in the city and that we get to see the best players in the world play rugby live. I'll be...

    New Zealand Rugby Team Watch

    I think given the RWC is 2 years away now is a good time to bring in the next bunch of All Black's, give the older guys a rest and manage their work load. I have read that McCaw is now aiming for a return through club rugby and be available for the Rugby Championship, maybe we could do that...

    George Smith - Will / Should He Play Against The Lions?

    If George Smith is the best option for Wallaby rugby at flanker then he should be picked for the team. However it is 2 years out from a World Cup and is he going to be around in 2 years time? I think it's a great opportunity to give some of the young guys, Hooper & Gill spring to mind, a crack...

    Rebels 2013

    I think the Rebels could do a whole lot worse than Robbie Deans, if he isn't reappointed with the Wallabies. You only have to look at his record with the Crusaders & the Canterbury NPC team to know he has got the coaching ability at this level.

    Rebels 2013

    First time poster, long time reading of the forum. How frustrating was the game on Saturday, the Rebels seem to lose the plot in the last 15-20 minutes. I've now into my 3rd season of frustrating rugby watching, the Rebels just don't seem to have the ability to close out games. I did make...
