My view has always been hold onto the ball in the last minute, but not all agree it seems. Interested to know the forum spli on this contentious play.

New coach, fresh looks, and we just saw all of our teams in rd20. So who do you expect to see in Links squad? Who do you think has earnt a chance at higher honours? Who do you think is a lock in for a position? Some I'd like to see get some squad time are in no particular order Cam Crawford...

On being announced Captain for the Reds Lions match. Well deserved honour and wish him the very best for a blinder, if anyone can break them open its Quade. http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/union-news/quade-cooper-to-lead-reds-against-lions-20130607-2nus4.html

Some Trivia about Metreage by Super Rugby players as we close in on the finals; Digby Ioane is the best winger in Super Rugby when it comes to metres gained, averaging 122metres per game. Folau has averaged 105m, Dagg 106m, and Poki 107m. More metreage trivia. Winger Rocket Davies has...

With all the tense discussion about our favourite players in our favourite game I thought it would be good to table something upbeat all rugby fans will like that I realised the other day. On Friday night I was at the Melbourne game with my best friends and my four year old daughter. At half...

In our passion to see the Wallabies win, and our absolute loathing of losses like, that Aussie A 'practice run' last year against those really big pacific islanders and that other practice run we had somewhere near Newcastle, it is pretty easy for us fire up. Easier too if you see players...

With the RC getting close and some key back line players expected to be fit, and a bit of chat about it in the Wales game threads I thought a Rugby championship discussion was timely. So I'll start with a controversial back line to get the ball rolling: 9. Genia 10. Cooper 11. Ioane 12...

Vickerman says; ' 'We come up against a pretty formidable opponent this weekend and if we're not on our game we'll get put to the sword, so we need to prepare.' so SMH headline says...

Continuing on from my review of 6N vs 3N Playstyles, I thought in the build up to this weekend's Wallabies-All Blacks showdown, I'd review the performances of the players in TN1 and TN2*. Leading up to the huge game this weekend one of the Big Q's we all have is how will the breakdown pan...

Recently in this thread Paarlbok posted a link to Rugga Stats. I'd accessed the site before, but had a few issues with it. Primarily that it didn't attribute any scoring data (tries, penalties etc) to players. Hell, even teams. Nevertheless what it DOES have is Six Nations data AND Tri...

Statisics! I posted in the Super XV post, querying how Giteau was ranked so highly in Fox Fantasy Points, vs SBW, Nonu weren't. To my mind the inside/outside centre roles will prove critical in the coming 3N and RWC for the Wallabies. Well I played some more with the stats, only to be a...
