Open your eyes. These are part of a psychological game that Riverview wanted to play out. Now here is a funny thing, and you just might think on it before responding, but it was precisely the week prior to the View game that saw the media hype directed at Scots hit the press. You would need a...

Re Growing the game. Rugby is fairly unique in that once you play it, it stays with you, get's in the blood, and other sports just don't do it any more. However, this pathways thing is a nightmare - 1. all the good private school players are forced to leave the club system at U16's, and their...

The trouble starts when no-one can see who to blame for collapsing. Punters won't go to the game because half the match is spent resetting scrums. It's almost like the rules have to change to save the patrons. There needs to be an incentive for it not to be collapsed. It should be more like line...

a moment of thought for last year's View coach please. What a team. Always threatening and never let up. Super confident. The king is dead.

History is written by the winners. That's why folk try so hard to win. The king is dead, long live the king.

View's team this year is same as last year and are firm favourites. Pressure is definitely on him and not players.

SuperRugby would do better by inviting in Japan, Tonga and Fiji and adjusting the rules so that these sides can be competitive. Japan could save rugby just as India saved cricket, but we'd have to look after them, let them in on the councils, and not pander to our friends from NZ and SA who will...

Japan could save rugby just like India saved cricket. Let's get them into Super Rugby ASAP

A well deserved moral victory, at that, having hidden behind the fulminating principals at Joeys and Shore. Well done, if not well played.

What will SJRU/NSWRU do with the advent of 7's? Surely Commonwealth and Olympic gold will translate into $ but will this be just another dead-end or will they grab the nettle? Garling hardly asks, except in passing. Perhaps he fears the worst.

I believe an ex Wallabies coach took over at Kings last year and made big improvements in the second half of the season. Also an ex Wallaby player is going to New. I wish I had more details.

Everyone loves sevens, but with ten minute halves it's hard to sell it to TV. You'd have to do a tri-nations each outing.

So why penalise them? Mosman, with all that membership peters out at U16 normally 2 teams to U17 no team because of GPS. The $200 is a slap in the face. The club can get all the money it wants from The Duck (pub) and the BV (pub). Why doesn't the ARU support Mosman to help ensure a team in the...

Trouble is we're not marketing along the grand narratives that compel people to watch. Better to have silvertails vs fibros than brand1 v brand2 or state1 v state-n. It's got to get more tribal. we need more koori players, more rags-to-riches, less branding.
