Matt Kvesic and Mouritz Botha have been called up to the England senior squad as cover for the injured Tom Johnson and Calum Clark respectively. Ugo Monye will also train with the squad as cover for future injuries. http://www.rbs6nations.com/en/21735.php

I just felt it in my waters that no good could come from a joint training session with the Storm...

Oliver Hoskins is probably one. He was also part of the Western Force's wider training group in 2012.

Will this mean Hilterbrand will start from the bench behind Charles, or isTessmann more likely to take Whittakers spot in the 22?

It seems their injuries are forcing them to look outside the squad for a hooker or two. I hope the recoveries of Leibenberg and Ntubeni are quick, because Deon Fourie played alot of last season in the back-row and hooker is one of those specialised positions that are especially difficult to...

Between the EPS and the Reds College, Lock looks fairly well covered. Blake Enever from the EPS is the youngest and having been part of the National Academy last year has been identified as having potential. Already having a Super Rugby cap and his EPS contract suggest he is seen as the most...

Rasolea represented Queensland at the National Under 16 Championships in 2007, Queensland II at the National Schoolboys Championships in 2008 and 2009, Fiji Under 20 at the JWC in 2010 and 2011 and the Australian sevens team in 2012.

Alternatively, maybe you shouldn't be able to represent a country on the international stage unless you're already a citizen.

Out of interest, who would you suggest they replace in that 22? I too think Lance and CFS are Super Rugby players, but it is hard to see where they fit into that starting 15.

Kenyan forward Daniel Adongo has joined the Southern Kings for the duration of the Super Rugby season. He has previously been involved in the SA system with both the Sharks and the Bulls, although he didn't play any Super Rugby. The Bulls released him after six months to play with Counties...

Here's an interesting article from the SMH a couple of months ago. As admirable as seeking to get Japanese players into foreign competitions is, it seems that a shake-up of the domestic pathways and culture would yeild far better results. Unfortunantely, if the corporate and economic worlds...

Not that I ever doubted you.

On Sunday's the Offsiders on the ABC Adam Frier seemed to suggest that France has a cut-off for signing players for this season and that it had passed. He went on to suggest that the most likely scenario is Quade sticks around for the Reds for 2013 and leaves after that, thereby giving him...

If true, that's a big loss. He has valuable experience and is someone I always enjoyed watching. I like the way he approached the game.

That is a formidable looking squad. It will be interesting to see how they squeeze everybody in and who plays where.

I hope you're right, but the Daily Telegraph (not infallible I know) says he is a prop. http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/rugby-gold/wallabies-captain-nathan-sharpe-wins-john-eales-medal/story-fn8ti7yn-1226508658588

Except the great Richie McCaw won't play in next years Super Rugby tournament. He's on sabbatical. Aside from that I agree. They seem to have an endless supply of talent.

The ARU may get a lot of things wrong, but I think they managed the entrance of the Rebels quite well. I can see only three players from that 2010 squad that went to the Rebels (Weeks, Byrnes and Kingi) and at the time I only really thought Weeks was a big loss.

and picked up by the Rebels.
