Having just survived category 5 cyclone Pam, Vanuatu can do with all the help it can get, including on the sporting field to return to normality asap. Fortunately many aid agencies and volunteers have stepped up to the plate with their incredibly generous financial and value in kind gestures...

Caught up with a few mates in Newtown on Thursday. Tried & enjoyed a few "Young Henry's" for the first time at The Marlborough. Keeping your tip in mind @Moses I wandered down King St to The Union in search of my inaugural Sierra Nevada Pale Ale only to be deflated by the barman's words: "We...

3. Tomane 2. Folau 1. Fardy

Have long been a sucker for the Coopers' product. Outstanding. More a pale ale man these days (I think it was the "Drink Drank Drunk" guys years ago who christened it the "thinking man's session brew" which has always appealed to my pretensions) after having been a bit greedy with the red tops...

Now that Folau has re-signed with the Tahs, does anyone think that Cheika will mess around with Folau at 15 and Foley at 10 where in IMO both are likely to improve further in 2014? Having said that I accept that Folau & Foley can both play other positions but is that really in the best...

I'm very excited about watching Folau and Beale running around with the Tahs' very promising backline in 2014. Folau's re-signing consummates his stroll through the ARU's sliding door in the first place. From all reports if the protracted NRL negotiations had moved more promptly he'd probably...

Might be time to fire up the Wallabies Positivity Thread again. Hooper & Lealiifano were strong. Would love to see us get Folau more involved.

Absolutely brilliant work by Hooper & Genia - that gives the Wallabies some unlikely impetus heading to oranges.

I vow to only drink if McCaw is penalized. That 2nd drink's tasting good.

In the run on side facing the Wallabies this Saturday are 9 members of the All Blacks' semi-final RWC 2011 starting team plus Mealamu & B. Franks on the bench.

According to GAGR's Tim Hoar although the exact date is unknown, Speight is likely to be available for the EOYT. Link is keeping a keen eye on it. www.greenandgoldrugby.com/wednesdays-rugby-news-15

"The more things change..." Lee Grant? Your avatar is a prescient display of Beale's rightful return to his roots. I trust that it will be a positive move for him personally and professionally. The Tahs' backline for next season should be capable of piling on the points and not just when a...

Cooper's whole demeanour tonight bespoke of him being more relaxed. It was in stark contrast to his appearance last year when he was clearly anxious and frustrated as to how the Wallabies were travelling.

I have been on high alert all season in readiness to hit "like" (which will be inadequate) with grievous harm to my PC to the first member who has the evidence to report that the big Izzy has committed to Heaven's Game. Given that I heard earlier this year (from numerous sources that have...

How about Gill's Inspector Gadget performance off the back of that Lions' line out? I won't get sick of watching that on high rotation on the replay reel. We are very blessed with our 2 young flankers. It's easy to forget that Hooper's only 21 & his whole hearted 80 mins efforts have only been...

Inside Shoulder did you lose a bet? Otherwise, your time is surely more valuable than exhibiting such masochistic tendencies.

Neil Jenkins' school of place kicking a place of perfection. Halfpenny & Farrell striking the Gilbert beautifully. Could be vital if the Tests develop into an arm wrestle.

The draws for the U11s, U12s, U15s & U16s are now available: www.nswjuniors.rugbynet.com.au (Go to Resource Library in the top left hand corner) The U15s & U16s draws mistakenly refer to the dates as 9,10 & 11 June instead 8, 9 & 10 June. The draws for the U13s, U14s & U17s are due to be...

I thought it was a fantastic contest. Very physical as we've come to expect from these traditional heavyweights of the NZ conference. Plenty of debate in the Tahs v Brumbies thread last week post match as to the merits or otherwise of Steve Walsh's officiating. IMO he had a very good game in...

What a difference from 2012 for the Tahs. Balls passed in front of the man by Lucas, Barnes & Foley, in particular. But, even more importantly, there's runners & more runners, choosing good lines. Cheika take a bow.
