Given the myriad of possibilities for a player to be selected for the Wallabies of late ... It has been decided by Foxtel to replace Rugby HQ with "AUSTRALIA's NEXT TOP WALLABY" here's some promo shots from the original pilot some years back..... which will be followed a landmark show inspired...

The above posts ...What a great ad for Rugby ! Good luck to all .

But sir , it wasn't Coke.... I have a particular Penchant for Crème Puffs your honour , its those "Cockerooaacchheezz" from south of the boarder I tell you !

A rule to limit halfbacks saying "Sir,Sir" to the referee for only 5 times in a game with no other discussion allowed from them . Sounds like cruel punishment for the halves but the referees would be in some kind of nirvana .

A commentary team's got to know its limitations .....

I thought Jones was strong in the lineout given he had possibly the weakest lineout thrower in the comp ...would love to see him with some quality ball from Moore .

The Tahs looked one dimensional throughout , they really seemed to miss Kurtley Beale as an additional playmaker which heaped more pressure on Foley and made it easier for the Highlanders to capitalise in spades . The lineout was a major disappointment , possibly one of the worst displays in...

The implication was the McCaw way has proved a winner ( ie. Silverware , despite our moaning on the Aussie side of the ditch) ... I also mentioned in an earlier post I wish he had an Australian grandfather and was 20 years old ... let me spell it out ... I would have liked Ritchie on our side ...

There's the McCaw way and there's the right way ( I think the sinners have won on this one ... most of the silverware is already in the vault ) .

Wish he had an Australian Grandparent ....and was 20 years old .

There seems to be a lot of hurt be it real or imagined in rugby over the last 5 years or so ...the development of the game had been hampered years before with the windfall of the RWC proceeds seemingly lacking in a strategic sense ...the microscopic attention by the press towards young athlete's...

Dennis Tutty , ...or currently Mitchell Pearce , widening the brief ....referee Col Pearce and possibly coaching mentor for Richard Graham - Jack Gibson ( One liner heaven !) .

Timani has been strong in attack and has made some great hits , the problem has been he has gone missing in the defensive line at times ...meaning on occasion he doesn't miss the tackle ...just doesn't attempt the tackle ....I think he is still a work in progress , if he can get his work rate up...

Great Threads ! Reuben F Scarf or Kelly Country ?

I think Marto will win this years Logie for "Most improved Sports Commentator by percentage" from 2/10 to 4/10 ...pretty spectacular in my book . Reminds me of winning the most improved cricketer award for my club 2 years running as a mere boy playing men's cricket ( how shit was I in year one ? )

Bunfight at the Waratahs Corral ,,, Re the Reds - I just can't believe such a talented group of players have by and large been unable to gel this year despite the injuries ....look for a sting in the tail so I hope the Tah's bring their A game and Kurtley runs the angles and not sideways and...

Mike Harris's kicking didn't bother me so much ... it has been the meltdown of his general play in recent weeks . I think Stirzaker and Debrecini also have come off the boil as well , I was hoping Stirzy would be a bolter for the RWC but he length of time he was taking at the scrum and ruck...

Maybe the announcement will be the return of a trimmed down Matt Dunning coming out as a fly half ?

Looks better on our Womens 7's Kearnsey !....didn't know Phil was a spokesman for Lowes ...The Dunning look even trumps it , I think the guys who should be allowed to wear collars were Roger Gould , Larkham , Horan and Eales , Michael Lynagh etc .... Tea , Scones and cucumber sandwiches will be...

Sounds like something off Fantasy Island ..."da plane ! da plane!"
