    Wallaby 31 players for 2015 RWC

    I agree we don't need to revert to a kicking game , I just think we toss the ball back too far to the kicker when under pressure which seems to negate any meaningful chase from our guys . Sometimes its justified,but we don't seem to put the opposition under the kind of pressure that we seem to...

    The Pulverisation of Australian Rugby

    Why doesn't the ARU grab the other codes and maybe the AMA to jointly lobby Abbott to make sporting fees for non professionals tax deductable (based on an activity test) ... What you give up initially should help arrest looming increases in health costs down the track . Encouraging the...

    ARU fee structure change for 2015

    I'd like the ARU board to individually state why they accepted their seats , what are the positives that they see for the game and the negatives (corporate speak would be "challenges" ) , what they think they have individually brought to the table ,and, where would each board member like the...

    Wallaby 31 players for 2015 RWC

    Maybe the Wallabies should get a guy in like Mark Gerrard to assist in honing the kicking skills that are within the squad ... I think he was playing in Japan but may be heading back ...his kicks were awesome at the Rebels and had a habit of putting them in attack mode more often than not ...

    Reds 2015

    Yes , JOC (James O'Connor) has loads of talent , I hope the Red's have a great season with him . His stint at the Rebels was marred by injury and by the looks of him at Toulon he looks to have matured into a complete footballer . I remember in his last season at the Reb's he was pillared through the press after...

    England v Australia

    USA ... Agree your comments re Kurandrani .... I was commenting on AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) in the English match not comparing them / Re Drani he has that #$% Factor that the Wallabies need (I Hate that term !) ... On Phipps , because its constant I just get domestic deafness (sounds like I'm getting grief from the...

    England v Australia

    AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) makes significant busts and draws defenders , I don't think the passes were on ....when you have someone breaking the line in that fashion it makes sense to keep the ball in play and apply pressure ...and that's where the real problem arises . We don't seem to be putting the blow torch to...

    Spring Tour - Wallaby Forwards - What do the stats tell me?

    I think part of the problem is that the players seem to be playing for their own positions rather than for each other , I'm not saying they are doing it deliberately I just thing its a confidence thing that will be solved when Cheika finally gets the "belief" concept over the line . We have the...

    Continued decline in Sydney Junior Rugby

    Sadly , it (language and disrespect) was manifest at the schoolboy level at Waverley around 2004/2007, I think late in 2007 Bondi got trashed as well , Waverley basketball however were disciplined , respectful and pretty good as I remember.

    RWC 2015

    The Waratah's face a tough year as opposition Australian Super 15 teams/ players lift to stake their claims for RWC selection in front of both coaches .... The upcoming season should be a cracker.

    England v Australia

    One of the league guys did it , name escapes me though ...at the time of Pocock's 2nd breakdown he gave him encouragement that it was possible .

    England v Australia

    Get Pulver to rope in Jenny Craig or enter Big Will on Celebrity Biggest Loser but stop at 125kgs and build up to 135-140 kgs for RWC ... or chain him with Pocock to an earthmover for a few weeks with no fridge in sight , only downside Pocock might end up as dinner ....

    England v Australia

    With Simmons out and no natural caller plus Skelton the 2nd half lineout was always going to be iffy .

    Pocock Arrested

    Over the years I've met with hundreds of senior mining executives and visited mining operations both here and abroad , in my time I have never met a mining executive that owns his primary family residence in close proximity of a mine's operations ..funny that ! Also I would say that most...

    Pocock Arrested

    Pocock has every right to protest , in a polite and thoughtful manner ...if the laws have been broken under those circumstances so be it - he will cop it on the chin like many others before him (including politicians , members of the clergy , doctors , dentists , sex workers , greenies ...

    England v Australia

    This group will have every motivation to play this match like its their last ...If they like each other and have bonded they will want to lay down the gauntlet to every player that we expect to stroll back into the squad , that it will be hard earned to achieve or regain the Wallaby Jersey ...
