Thanks PaarlBok.

There were very similar comments from Craig Chalmers (the former Lions and Scotland Fly-half, now coach) in the September issue of Rugby World. The SRU had paid for his flights so that Chalmers could spend 3 weeks in Australia observing various sports. In his article he notes the Sydney Swans...

What's the difference between best back/forward and most promising player?

Savea Jr has signed for two years with the Hurricanes.

I've also heard that Kirwan has cut Gareth Anscombe from the Blues squad for 2013 and the Chiefs have picked him up. The way Gareth has been playing in the ITM (leading point scorer I think) this seems both a strange decision from Kirwan and an astute pick-up by Rennie.

Well it seems that now the SARU has denied the Kings more than 2 spots for foreign players. So with Kiwi prop Clint Newland and Samoan wing Paul Perez already on the books, neither Vergallo, Parkes nor any other foreign player can be signed. See the article here -...

Much appreciated Dam0. I hope to see more of him before season's end.

I haven't been able to see nearly as much of the ITM as I would like... can anyone tell me how Adongo has gone at Counties?

Dan Caprice (England 7s) with Northland too

I too have never seen him play, but in 24 rounds of the Toyota Cup, Bryce Hegarty has started at Halfback in one, Five-eighth in three, and Fullback in eight matches. This would suggest that he can at least ball-play a little and is one of the faster backs in the Broncos 2012 Toyota Cup squad...

Looks likely that with Hernández out Fernández and Bosch are likely to be the 10-12 combo. I for one would really like to see how Agulla handles 13.

You're right I'm sure. It's just frustrating working with limited resources.

I don't, but how I wish it could have been young Maka. Guy Novès took a couple of months of training and one match to sign him up until 2017, yet as far as I know he wasn't offered anything here. A local player that has cult figure written all over him lost to the Rebels.

Any hopes of an extended run at 10 in the Currie Cup for Sias Ebersohn have been dashed by Johan Goosen's return.

I understand the sentiment, but the Sharks had one of the smallest/lightest packs in Super Rugby this year.

If you're referring to a 23 man match day squad, that rule change is not being implemented in this years ITM Cup

This line-up is noteable for a number of reasons, including: 1. The return of Hernandez at test level for the first time in over 3 years 2. The selection of a whole front row on the bench 3. Phelan favouring the locally-based Landajo over the French-based Figuerola as back-up scrum half. 4...

Los Pumas line-up for the first test against South Africa. 1st XV: 1 Rodrigo Roncero (49 caps) 2 Eusebio Guiñazú (18 caps) 3 Juan Figallo (9 caps) 4 Manuel Carizza (23 caps) 5 Patricio Albacete (43 caps) 6 Julio Farías Cabello (10 caps) 7 Álvaro Galindo (11 caps) 8 Juan Martín Fernández Lobbe...
