    Fantasy Rugby 2015

    It seems the Fox Fantasy setup which has run the past few years has changed. (at least the site has not been working) But I just found this: http://rugbysupercoach.foxsports.com.au/ They have changed the format a bit - but looks good. Better than the ARU one from last year at any rate - IMO.

    Bingham Cup 2014.

    Hey Hugh, I can't really put the time into it at the moment. And I've not seen the lads this week - flat out at work and have a wee one at home. I do plan to sneak over tomorrow though - can't on Saturday due to our own last round of Subbies - or Sunday with baby duties. Feel free to pull it...

    Hey Hugh. I'm still snooping around.

    Sydney Subbies 2014

    I had an epiphany about Colts last year. As mentioned, in D1/2 they play in the middle of the day - which is supposed to incorporate them into the Club more. It actually works - or does for us anyway. But what about this..... Play Colts last. - Don't have to worry about Colties rocking up still...

    USA and Canadian Rugby

    I was born and raised here but was in the US for a long time. Happy days. Played for, among others, San Francisco Golden Gate for nearly 10 years (2000-2009) during the early halcyon days of the Rugby Super League. The quality was very good to be honest. As a marker in terms of quality - i'd say...

    Sydney Subbies 2013

    Hey Sackrobbie, Forest played us (Petersham) this past weekend. After the hype and google gathering information I had done on Will Brame I was keen to see what he brought to what has been a handy Forest side in the past. The only word I can think of is, "Unremarkable". He did some good things -...

    Fantasy Super rugby 2013

    Does anyone know what happened with Kahui? And, if the cat didn't play - why would you get no points from your Center off the bench? (Tapuai)

    Gay Rugby World Cup

    Hi DPK - While I don't want to say "culture" - without a doubt intolerance exists towards homosexuals in rugby. Its happened directly to me many times - and remember, I'm a straight guy! I have played against teams that have dropped horrid gay slurs on me during games. It was easy enough for me...

    Gay Rugby World Cup

    haha. Probably a bit of both to be honest. There needed to be a central organizing outfit in order to maintain oepration control as things grew. There were 12 teams in the first Bingham Cup in San Francisco. This has grown now to 30 -odd teams in the last Cup in Manchester last year - and i'm...

    Gay Rugby World Cup

    Oh, and no, the trophy itself does not have a nickname. It does have one of Mark's favourite quotes inscribed on it though - a few famous lines from Shakespeare's Henry V - which incidently sums up the whole Gay/Rugby/IGRAB thing nicely: "We few, we happy few, we band of Brothers, For he...

    Gay Rugby World Cup

    Hey Hugh, I was born and raised in country NSW. I have been back for the last 3 years - hence me missing "Mark" in 2010 and 2012. I currently play 1's for a local subbie club in 2nd Division. At 37 i've still got a big bag of tricks. Mark did have a nickname. It was Bear Trap. Don't really...

    Gay Rugby World Cup

    Hey Gentlemen, My first post, but feel i'm uniquely placed to comment. Mark Bingham was a close friend of mine. Yesterday marked 11 years since we lost him. I have played in x4 Bingham Cups. Won 2 of them. Played in the Final in a 3rd. And ran 3rd in my final one. I'm a straight guy. While a...
