Can I interrupt the Quade Cooper accountancy masterclass and ask if it would be a good idea for the smaller nations (defined by IRB or what ever they are called now) to be able to repatriate say 2 capped players for the RWC if they are not picked for their adopted nations ? We hear a lot of...

Any clean out stats ? Suspect Will , Jones , Simmons & Dennis would feature there as well .

A the pointy end of the season ...the appeal during the week for Will and Latu was a distraction no one needed ... taking Will across to SA in a sense condoned his actions . One can ponder if a more contrite Waratah's camp may have brought a more measured performance than we were to experience...

Impressed with the Brumbies that put their hand up tonight... Speight , Scott Sio , Pocock , Tomane and Fardy who I like the more I see him . Lilo needs his kicking mojo to return and back in position once To'omua gets back . A tough win , well done ...

Send a Wallabies jersey to Vladimir Putin for those chilly days when horse-riding or frolicking in the water .... Cheika could get Vlad to give the pre match talk - when Vlad says go out and kill the opposition he means it !!!

I think I'll go back to my copy of "To kill a Mockingbird" or maybe the "Shawshank Redemption" ...easier reads than the Sanzar processes and minutes . Tah's should probably not appeal and just get on with it ... we may see the group further galvanise as a result (Rugby wasn't meant to be easy -...

Maybe the optimum 23 for the RWC thread may be missing some angles ... how about a 23 with the most offensive , scary or unfashionable haircuts for the RWC ...just off the top of my head ..lets see Hooper (youth on the streets meets surf city) , Jordy Reid (Ziggy Marley's half brother) , Timani...

Sounds like Rafferty's Rules ( Gerry that is ... )

Thanks Reg .... found it ! And surprisingly painless ...hope it works !!

A good initial move by the ARU finally . The test of a good management team will be the way they disseminate the results and themes gleaned from the respondents and how they engage with all tiers of the Australian Rugby community . One thing I would advise against would be the ARU coming out...

Maybe to see how conventional players actually stacked up against the 7's specialist players .....

Yes , it's a different social structure in the front row ...would work in League as he reminds me of a young Robbie Farah but McMahon is a beast of a back rower in Rugby and brings plenty to the table . I think we may be looking at the RWC too inwardly ...maybe step back and consider what...

It an amazing game ... all the talk earlier this year and till recently has been what a good team the Rebels will be in 2016 & 17 , Well... there's no time like the present , so guys "don't die wondering" give it a good crack . I rate the Reds however - they are capable of anything with...

If we were serious about qualifying we could have easily run a series of trial games with our best broken play runners from the Super15 vs the current sevens squad ...that ship has sailed ... hope we make the Olympics but I think now we have a more pressing date with destiny (RWC).

The Australia/US games could have added interest if the Eagles gave Greg Peterson a run ... our loss , thought he did well in the NRC but just didn't get enough game time with the Tahs ...Anyone know how he has gone at Leicester ?

I think a Reds fight back may come from within the group to try and salvage some gravitas for those who still have a chance for Wallaby selection . The Rebels on the other hand have a point to prove every week ( I think its called "Silence Mark Ella !") .... Rebels by 3 .

Remarkable comeback , I predict Laurie may get a Guernsey on "dancing with the stars" if the rehab continues at this rate .....

It will be interesting to see if the Rebels play McMahon , who would of thought they would have that option and come to think of it Heggarty shadowing a rejuvenated Mike Harris . They (The Rebels) seem to not care too much about who is on the paddock from within the squad as they seem to be...

The Tahs seemed intent on playing their way out of Wallaby spots by not playing for each other . The prop's decision not to tackle or even attempt to tackle at the ruck letting in the first or second Force try summed up the lack of desire and consistently coming in from the side in mauls...

Ok Gits , so you know Michael Caine's son ...
