    NRC player payments

    I'm curious to know what the approximate size of player payments are for NRC players. I know they can't live off it, need other (very flexible) jobs, but what sort of bickies would an NRC player get? Per match payments or per season? Are Super players still paid by their Super team, or would...

    Homophobia in rugby and other sports (Bingham Cup, Ian Thorpe)

    Wasn't sure where to put this, politics or club rugby or somewhere else, but I thought it would be interesting for some of you. A study commissioned by the Bingham Cup organisers found rampant homophobia in sporting clubs... Read more...

    Olympic sevens selection

    Does anyone know what (if any) selection process the ARU (and the other tri-Nations since we're on about it) will have for the Olympic Games in Rio in 2016?

    Starting a new rugby club an insane idea? Gippsland, Vic.

    I live in West Gippsland, not the ends of the earth, a pretty civilised place really. Except that the nearest rugby club is Endeavour Hills, an hour or more drive away. Foolishly I have encouraged my boys to love rugby. I've told them that no good will come from this, that they live in...
