    Rebels 2015

    I'm sure if Growden had written this article last week it would have been about the Brumbies moving to Western Sydney, but with the new sponsorship deal seeming to secure the Brumbies' immediate future, he's turned his sights on to the Rebels...

    S15 Rd 1 - Brumbies v Reds, Friday 13th February

    Ita Vaea to be named on the bench for the Brumbies http://www.canberratimes.com.au/rugby-union/union-news/ita-vaea-to-make-remarkable-comeback-from-lifethreatening-blood-clots-when-brumbies-play-the-reds-20150211-13bp7m.html

    Brumbies 2015

    hopefully this is just a rant by an internet nutter but if some of what this bloke says is true then it might all go a bit Firepower-shaped http://www.hillbillywatch.com/2015/02/aquis-officially-dead-period.html

    Brumbies 2015

    I believe Aquis have plans for some mega-casino up in Queensland too, so they may be interested in promoting the brand name, not just the local casino

    Brumbies 2015

    Jersey looks alright, sponsor's logo looks fairly subtle

    Brumbies 2015

    Hopefully Aquis can also be persuaded to sink a few hundred million into a new stadium too. It'd be just across the road from their casino so it'd mean more punters for them

    Broadcast options for Australian Rugby

    Isn't soccer a bit problematic for FTA networks as there aren't that many breaks in play so it makes it difficult to jam in a lot of ads? Or will they be encouraging the players to feign injury (not that they need much encouragement) to make time for some ad breaks? Or is the FFA's threat to...

    Rebels 2015

    Surely Colby Fainga'a will be off to Europe/Japan if he's now possibly 3rd in line at the Rebels for the flanker's spot?

    Brumbies 2015

    Maybe they could force feed Pocock for the next two weeks and get him to play hooker in the opener against Queensland as they appear to be short on options. "The starting hooker position remains up for grabs after Mitch Wade suffered a season-ending knee injury in last weekend's 24-19...

    Brumbies 2015

    that article also seems to be implying that Fardy will be playing at 6 (as he's not mentioned as a contender for a lock spot). So a possible Rd 1 line-up? Sio Mann-Rea Alexander Carter Staniforth Fardy Pocock Butler White To'omua Tomane Lealiifano Kuridrani Speight Coleman JP Smith R Smith...

    Western Force 2015

    A true professional - did the deed at the right time of the year so that the kid is born during the off-season, unlike these blokes that have to dash off on the eve of a game to attend a birth

    Brumbies 2015

    I guess another possibility for selling off a home game would be Singapore now that their bid for their own team has fallen through. But the money would need to be good to offset the extra costs involved.

    Brumbies 2015

    It seems Ita Vaea is still training with the Brumbies: Not sure if they're just letting him train until he goes to France or if that deal has fallen through

    England v Australia

    Tim Gavel has tweeted that Nic White will be on the bench, not Genia Tim Gavel ‏@TimGavel 2h2 hours ago Cheika says Brumbies halfback Nick White will start on the bench vs England replacing Will Genia . White is yet to play a test on this tour

    Away Strip/Sub Jerseys/B Strip

    And according to this article from before the last world cup, all teams at the RWC need to have an away strip http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/wallabies-all-white-for-world-cup/story-e6frey4i-1226050161623 The Wallabies one that was never used is on the left:

    Away Strip/Sub Jerseys/B Strip

    They wore an away strip (green & gold hoops) against Romania in the 95 RWC Edit: beaten by RugbyReg - so here's a shot of Tony Daly in the jersey (though it looks more orangey in this one)

    Ireland v Australia

    No worries, McCalman could move into openside against Irish. What could possibly go wrong?
