    Often thought about riding with a group but always thought it might be a "bridge too far" I ride with a group of mates who don't have a "need for speed" preferring to amble. How much faster did you ride with the group than your "general" average?

    Richie Mccaw retires

    A great player and role model for our game. Pushed the limits but what top class loose forward doesn't. Shame he wasn't born over this side of the ditch although we aren't that short of 7's. Greatest memory for me was his face when he gave away that contentious penalty for Foley to bring...

    The difference is last year I was new to his patch as I had just started riding to work, this year I pushed through the colder months so I have been in his territory all year. Colin is this your first year on his turf? Redstragic No this Magpie is a rogue. He has been drawing my blood...

    RWC 2015 Final - Australia v New Zealand, Twickenham, Sunday 1 November, 3:00 AEDT

    Agreed. When SBW gave the lad his medal it may have been good for his brand but it was great for Rugby's brand. When he consoled Kriel after the semi it was good for his brand but even better for Rugby's brand. When Hansen and Cheika spend time shaking the hands of the other team after a...

    RWC 2015 Final - Australia v New Zealand, Twickenham, Sunday 1 November, 3:00 AEDT

    Monday morning arrives and I feel a sense of pride about our team. NZ were the better side and deserved the win but a 21-17 I thought we could potentially pull off the miracle. Well played and Rugby is back on the national stage again with an opportunity there to be seized upon. I heard the...

    RWC: AUS v WAL (Twickenham): POOL A; 2:45am (AEDT) Sunday 11 October

    I'm more worried about Pocock's calf than a trolls determination to highlight a miniscule incident. Its hard to ponder why you would want to press such a negative point when you pin the Wallaby logo to your name. Go Wallabies....I even saw a smattering of proudly worn gold jerseys and polo's...

    How is the team going with Magpie season. Last weekend I was intercepted by a black and white rocket. Magpie 1 Cyclist 0 Any ideas. Do cable ties work or just make lycra laden lads look like Uncle Martin out of "My Favourite Martian"

    Bledisloe #1 - AUS v NZL, ANZ Stadium, Sydney, August 8th

    Phipps was way below par but he has a good "body of work" behind him. He was harassed by loiterers at the back of the breakdown and fell down a few times particularly in his passes to Foley and Gits as well as his yellow card offence. He is obviously being instructed to selectively box kick so...

    NSW AAGPS Rugby 2015

    Stannies vs Kings is always a willing tussle. The trip to Bathurst is usually associated with the first frost of the year and is a "welcome to winter" event. No real form line to predict a result but generally Kings comes home the winners with some sore bodies from hard boned bush boys who love...

    Australian Schoolboys 2014

    I saw him play a few times this year. He had a dominant presence on the field and looks an excellent prospect in either code. One of the outstanding, if not the best, players in the competition in which I saw him compete. I will be interested to follow his progress but as we all know schoolboy...

    Next Wallabies Coach.

    As far as I know the structure for Cheika hasn't been announced but you are likely right, that if agreed, he will have involvement in both teams. Not ideal but with Link only resigning last Saturday and the team leaving this Friday the perfect set up is hard to achieve. I am not sure of what...

    Next Wallabies Coach.

    Was Deans swayed by provincialism...I don't think so. Was Link, again I don't think so. They were driven by a goal of achieving success. Why would Cheika be any different? The Beale issue will be interesting and Cheika, like everyone on this forum, has an opinion. The opinion may or may not...

    Next Wallabies Coach.

    I just don't get it. I played the other game as a junior and discovered Union in my twenties. The whole union "vibe" and the people around it where more inclusive and way more fun. After a game we had a beer and relived the ruck scars and scything runs. Geez I wish some of the death riders and...

    Next Wallabies Coach.

    For the first time in a long time the back and inside back of the Telegraph is filled with generally positive news with the impending appointment of Cheika. Already on this forum we have the usual cries of provincialism and rifts. Come on fella's get behind your team, if even for a few...

    Next Wallabies Coach.

    I think Cheika is the right fit. He is strong and unlike McKenzie and even Deans has a affinity with the media. I have heard him speak on many non rugby sports shows (is there any other type!) and he always comes across well. He says what he really thinks and backs it with good arguments...

    Wallabies v All Blacks @ Suncorp - 18/10/14

    I don't think Nic White was that bad. He passed well and was good in general play. However when the pressure was really on he reverted to "Jake Ball" and up went the box kick. Under pressure most of us revert back to what we know. Unfortunately a combination of bad execution and bad timing...
