    Wallabies drinkers -- who are they?

    I'm interested in knowing who doesn't mind knocking a few back during the season. I know QC (Quade Cooper) and Beale especially have a reputation for getting on the piss. I also know that alcohol isn't great for high-performance athletes. So I guess I'm wondering if it's a wide-spread practice in the...

    Quick question for those following the HC/T14

    What's going on with George Smith in Toulon? Is he injured? I've barely heard a word spoken about him since his transfer there. It can't just be due to his side or due to the fact that he isn't qualified to play in the 6N, because I've heard plenty about his fellow Toulon backrower Joe Van...

    Rank our props

    I'm particularly ignorant of the dark arts, so I was wondering if the more knowledgeable people here could rank the Aussie props in terms of pure scrummaging ability (particularly those starting for their S15 sides). Please keep your looseheads and tightheads separate. If they play both sides...

    Mealamu headbutt

    I just saw footage of this and it looks pretty intentional to me, but I see a lot of kiwis claiming otherwise. Do you think they have a case? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yE2Ky0awsA He's been cited for it and I can't see how he wouldn't cop a ban with the English media watching on.

    The Jinx Thread

    How good is this All Blacks team looking? Hungry, skillful, fit and lucky with the refs. I really can't see them dropping a match this 3N. Probably not this year. Certainly not to us. Their lineout is solid, their scrum excellent and their work at the breakdown exemplary. Their defence is...

    The Carl Hayman Saga

    Is anybody else watching this little drama with as much interest and schadenfreude as I am? It's looking increasingly likely that he won't come back to restore the AB scrum to the overweening dominance of former years. In France and England his defection to Toulon is being written about in the...

    Quick question

    Was the old tackle interpretation whereby the tackler could keep his hands on the ball during the tackle and even after the maul had formed part of the ELVs, or did it come from somewhere else? Cheers!

    Force vs Chiefs

    No thread for this yet? I'm scared of this game too, but surely we have to support them regardless? Let go of the hating, Reds supporters! O'Connor to 10, will be interesting. Hot conditions. That's about all I have to contribute. Hoping for an upset here, this is definitely a chance of...

    What do you make of this?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mt4x6wJCEG4&feature=player_embedded Doesn't look disrespectful to me. I can't tell if the NZRU are being overly precious or cynically money-grabbing when it comes to their haka. ETA: The quoted article came from stuff.co.nz. I thought I'd included the link but...

    Cipriani to Melbourne?

    Apparently he's been having talks with representatives of the Rebels. (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/rugby_union/article7014318.ece) Any likelihood he'll do it, do you think? Even though it'd obviously be good for his rugby development, I can't see him taking the kind of paycut he'd...

    Scrum Talk

    This thread started as "How good is our scrum?" but another post about scrums has been started so they have been merged - LG As a Wallabies supporter scrums have been of special interest to me for years since we've been so terrible at them, and lost some huge matches because of it. There's no...

    Argentina invited to join the Trinations

    It's finally happened. Conditional upon being able to guarantee their best players will be playing. 2012 is the proposed starting date. From: http://www.rugbyheaven.com.au/news/news/argentina-invited-to-join-tri-nations/2009/09/14/1252780263080.html It's a long way away but this sounds like...

    Submitting questions to Ruggamatrix?

    I've recently discovered the joy that is ruggamatrix, and I'd like to submit questions for upcoming interviews. I've even registered for Twitter which is something I swore I'd never do. I still can't bloody figure out how you a) find out who is being interviewed and b) submit your questions. Has...
