    Aussie Player Exodus

    Sitting watching the 6 Nations and realised that with the exception of two matches - England v Wales and Ireland v Wales - every match had a player who could have been a Wallaby- or in the case of Dempsey was a Wallaby.

If this ends up coming true I am hoping that Wilson and Tuipolotu get some decent minutes this...

    If this does indeed materialise, then he will absolutely be putting on the blue of Italy before the end of 2024. Personally I feel that it is a shame that there wasn't a way to bring him to Oz as I see him, long term, as a 15 and would bring something different to the other 15's in Oz.

    Wallabies 2024

    I absolutely detest the negative barbs being thrown at a young up and coming player. Donaldson last year was the only ten taking on the line and had a boot with the length needed for international rugby. Whilst his performances this year have dipped, this has to be expected with young...

    Waratahs 2024

    What are thoughts on Edmed at 12? Defensively sound and opportunity for a second playmaker with the riches already in the 10 jersey.

    Wallabies 2023

    Nawaqanitawase comes across as such a top bloke. Touted as the next big thing following junior wallaby world cup and Waratahs debut. Then dismissed by many fans and media for defensive fragility and from what I can see he continued to work hard and for me is now a starting Wallaby. With...

    Queensland Reds 2024

    It is an absolute no from me on any Australian returning to a SRAU team that has represented another country. We keep hearing the same nonsense when the likes of Hansen, Tuipolotu, Dempsey, Meafou get selected for one of the Northern Hemisphere teams of how proud they are and that it was always...

    Aussie Player Exodus

    Around the 50 minute mark there were about 3 passages of play in quick succession where Tuipulotu, Dempsey and Hansen were all involved together in a collision. As an Aussie it was tough to see players raised and trained in Australia representing another nation. I personally feel that...

    Wallabies 2023

    I wasn't clear, not suggesting Edmed at 12 for Wallabies now but suspect post RWC he could be moved there for Waratahs following input from EJ (Eddie Jones).

    Wallabies 2023

    A slightly controversial comment but I am expecting to see Edmed and maybe Lolesio (due to his U20 time) be moved to 12. Eddie loves a 2nd playmaker at inside centre and looking around Super Rugby Aus there isn't that type of player at 12 with exception of maybe Henry. I am not a fan of moving players...

    Reports out of France is that Miles Amatosero - 2m+ /125kg has signed for the Waratahs. If true this is personally how I like to see RA spending money rather than on Rory Arnold. Nothing against Arnold who is class but Amatosero at 20 years old is one I will be excited to see in Aussie Rugby...

    Waratahs 2023

    I feel in a number of these cases that RA are being used as a stalking horse to build up salary in NRL. I am okay with this as less money available for youth recruitment of australia schools representatives for League. Youth recruitment still needs to be priority as the more Max Jorgensens...

    Force 2023

    Does anyone know if Campbell Parata is part of the Force squad for 2023 or has he returned to New Zealand?
