    NRC round 4 Rays vs Qld Country

    Was a close game for the first half, Rays had most of the ball. Very windy conditions in Sydney today, and it's quite hot as well. Rays scored first and then kicked a penalty to go 10 - 0, before Country hit back twice for a 14 - 10 lead. Rays struck back soon after to take a 17 - 14 lead...

    2013 Giro d'Italia

    Who is watching this year's Giro? Will likely be a battle between Nibali, Wiggins and Hesjedal. Hopefully Evans can be up there too, but he hasn't raced too much in the last 10 months due to sickness and age may be catching up to him. Not really a fan of Wiggins, so I'll be cheering on...

    4th Bledisloe in Tokyo

    Thought I might start a separate thread to discuss the game and predictions. Mods feel free to merge with the other ones if you want. I'm tipping the All Blacks by 17, say around 32 - 15. Wallabies beaten in the rucks, and lack of adventurous back play due to AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) being moved to 12. Any other...

    Aus Team of the Week - round 7

    Suggestions for team of the week? I'll have a go with some backs... 9. Burgess (Tahs) 10. Halangahu (Tahs) 11. Tuqiri (Tahs) 12. Barnes (Reds) 13. Ioane (Reds) 14. Turner (Tahs) 15. Gerrard (Brumbies) Barnes for the Reds is probably the scratchiest choice, not sure if I'd choose Fairbanks or...

    Western Force 2010

    Well, this is getting a bit Forcical! (hawr hawr) As much as I don't feel any pity to the Force for what they did to the Reds (somehow, it may even be seen as a positive in the long run), a weak Cheetahs-like Force is no good to Australia rugby. Hopefully the Force can get some decent signings...

    Rumour of the week: Tahu back to League?

    Unfortunately last night I watched about 20 minutes of The Footy Show. I seriously am dumber for the experience. I will admit, a few years ago it was watchable and entertaining enough when led by Stirlo, but now it's painful and stupid. Anyway, to the point. Andrew Voss had a rant how Tahu was...

    Force desperate for hookers

    It's official, Tai McIsaac is retiring at the end of the year, leaving the Force with only Luke Holmes, who is not really a S14 starter. The Force have expressed interest in TPN, but he's on contract as far as I know, and the Tahs have already said, "sod off!". I really think the Force got it...

    Australian S14 team of the week - round 4

    Haven't seen any threads for this weeks team of the week, so let's get the ball rolling with the one from G&G, consisting of 0 Force, 10 Tahs and 5 Reds. Brumbies had a bye. I probably would've had Pocock, one of the few standouts from the Force, and perhaps Higgenbottham from the Reds. Not...

    Force v Chiefs

    Before anyone forgets, there's actually OTHER games on this week, including the warmup game: Force v Chiefs. Not sure who to tip here, think I am leaning to the Chiefs in a close one. What do others think? Brown out for the Force. Lauaki out of the Chiefs - but that may be a good thing. Still...

    Waratahs v Clan

    TPN and Tahu reportedly dumped to the bench, otherwise the 22 is unchanged. Anyone know anything about the lead in game?

    Media beat up of the week: Bird playing club rugby

    Unfortunately, there's no "media beat up" icon, so I went with the League icon...which doesn't look league-like at all. Ah well...on to the beat up! Well done, Mr Geddes, without talking to the player or manager (both of whom I think are dickheads of the highest regard anyway) at all, you went...

    Syd Uni whines yet again...

Exactly how many free degrees does $145,000 a year buy? I am guessing anywhere around 15 - 25. However...

    Phil Wilkins is pulling something...

    http://www.rugbyheaven.com.au/news/news/beale-might-have-made-the-difference/2008/09/18/1221331058673.html Apparently Beale migth've made the difference. Apparently Wilkins might be a journalist. The chances of both are roughly the same. Anyone actually agree with Wilkins?
