Just due to the local derbies aspect and in an attempt to keep the structure as simple as possible

This is a long post so instead of taking up real estate here I've just posted it as a page on my blog. It's my proposal for a NEW format for Super Rugby rather than cutting a team. Summary. 3 x confs. 6 in each. AFRICA | AU + JAPAN | NZ + ARG Home & Away + 1 x Bye Top 2 from each Conf into...

I have written a response to the Peter FitzSimons piece in the SMH re: cutting the Rebels. I have made it an Open Letter to Bill Pulver and the ARU. (Sorry for the very long post) If easier you can read the actual post here > https://thirtysummers.com/open-letter-to-bill-pulver/ Dear Bill...

Whilst I don't actually think there is anyone better than Cheik to coach right now he seems more than a little blinkered. That's just an observation. His body language of late is VERY defensive and aloof and his appearance is ramshackle. Grow a beard or shave man! Why I believe this to be...

You are about to be disappointed me thinks

Haha. You're more one-eyed than Kane Douglas now is.

Yup - he's the new Ali Williams. Dirtier than a Bangkok girly bar. It just shows the lack of chutzpah in our pack that his ribs are still intact. What an opportunity!!

This is like pulling teeth. Just name the team already :)

Dear Mr Cheika. I'm hearing QC (Quade Cooper) at 12?? Please, please DO NOT do this. This man will be subjected to pathetic & classless booing let alone putting him in a new position. Not sure why this is being reported. Surely it can't be true?! There's a young bloke with an old head called Hodge that should...

I think the score will depend entirely on the team selected. If it's basically the same team - with the exception of injuries - then I think we're fooked. We really need to bottle some Ardie Savea mongrel and fizz. To be honest knowing you have a bloke on the other side playing with ribs held...

Kyle Godwin? Look I'm sure he's a nice bloke but when he was in form Miley Cyrus was still Hannah Montana.

This. Yes this my friend is the team. Hooper can cover a back position if needed. Sadly there is more chance of Cheik being picked up as the 'Face of' Gillette than him playing Izzy at 13. Grrrr....

Oops. The InterWebs don't do good irony. Sorry. I meant he's not very good at finishing games these days. (Sadly for him) I really feel for him given the angst that all of this has caused him and his club.

Gits has been shown to sadly not be a very good "finisher". ;-)

Seems that chasing the coin is catching up with Foley. Hasn't he pretty much played right through from the RWC. Japan - Super Rugby - RC? His spark and running seem extinguished right now. Just a thought.

So what you are saying is that he'd be perfect for the team ;-)

Please god no. And I'm a Rebels fan. I've met Jack several times too. Great bloke but do not let him anywhere near the WBs. He's still to prove he can play Super Rugby.

Can't agree about the 'one horrid game' sorry. Whilst this was clearly his worst he has been - at best - average for many tests. By bringing up that he's only 25 I think it screams even more that it's time for a spell on the sidelines. Then he can prove if he's good enough to be reselected in...

I KNOW you're not truly sorry ;-)

As a long suffering Rebels fan I have felt all this pain for many years now. Ie a Chasm in class between your team and most of the others you are playing. That said I have stuck with them and, probably foolishly, hopefully look forward to a win each week. I enjoy knowing that there's a game on...
