He cant do a very good beard either.

Of course they should play all games at the SFS Nick. I'm guessing the ARU has signed some sort of contract with whatever Homebush is called these days which means any test in Sydney has to be played there. Does anyone know if that is the case? I remember going to watch the Wallabies play...

Cant wait to see the responses to your post Nick. You will have the Queenslanders hopping mad. Saying it was right to let Latham go and that Rogers and Sailor were good long term options. All without the :fishing icon. You are a brave man.

Nah the Force beat the Saracens development team so all square Former.

Week 1: Saturday, semi-final B: Eastern Suburbs (4th) v West Harbour (5th) at Western Weekender Stadium, St Marys, 3.10pm. Where the hell is that??

I have huge fears in reducing the number of colts teams. Yes Penrith, Souths and to a lesser extent Parra really struggle in the lower grades but cutting the colts down to two grades could lead to a huge loss in player numbers. A number of current 1st grade players, a few super 14 players and...

Lets stay away from the whole where would you rather live debate children. For me this latest plan by NSWRU is a disaster waiting to happen. The points system is essentially a salary cap and salary caps can only work in professional environments where people are prepared to make sacrifices...

Do you want me to copy paste Dodges response? I personally think that removing the free kick sanction law is the biggest tragedy of this whole process.

I am. Which means I only need 110 pounds. Might just put it on my bosses credit card and pay her back. What should I do - stay in London and go to Lords on Sunday to watch England vs S.A. Or fly to Dublin and watch Reds vs Leinster. Edit - Flights were actually ?185 and given Im hoping to...

Does anyone want to sponser me a flight to Dublin for the weekend? A mate of mine whose dad is on the board for Leinster wants me to fly over for the game and lunch on Sunday but I have just cancelled my debit and credit cards because I lost my wallet and now I cant book a flight. Annoying.

But thats what I would like to know a bit more about. The tour was before I was born and between 2 countries I have never lived in so I know very little about what actually occured in the lead up and aftermarth and what the public feeling was surrounding the tour. Sorry if that makes me ignorant.

Rosengreen seems to be scoring tries for Uni coming off the bench. Would be interested to hear about him actually as when I saw him in HK a few years ago he looked quick but very slight and needed to fill out before being a threat at senior level. Some interesting names starting this weekend...

So the Tahs are off to Fiji for 10 days... http://www.waratahs.com.au/MediaExtranet/News/2008/August/NSWRugbyannouncesDevelopmentTourofFiji.aspx Dont think its quite as good for the young guys as what the Force and Reds are getting in Europe, however with more Wallabies than those teams and...

Great read. Thanks for posting PB. Although very different it does remind me somewhat of what McKenzie did with the Waratahs in Canberra. Get them to embrace and enjoy the place. Thought the bit about him not going on the Cavalier tour if he had his time again was interesting. Would like to...

Yeah I actually thought Sheehan went pretty well given he has only been playing for some pretty average club team :fishing We all know his faults but he didnt give one penalty away, he didnt put in a stupid box kick that I can remember but he did put in a nice touch finder to relieve a bit of...

That 10's tournament used to be the only time schoolboy rugby was on tv. I think King's used to host quite a big junior 10's tounament for 13/14yr olds with teams like Lloyd McDermott playing against clubs and some schools. Glad people agree that 10's is the way forward. I thought I was the...

Eddie has had an interesting attack at the ELVs. For the full article go here http://www.planet-rugby.com/Story/0,18259,3555_4057397,00.html I cant be bothered debating ELVs but the bit I will highlight is this ... Interesting concept. I must admit I much prefer playing and watching 10's to...

I see that you conveniently left out the fact you won despite two players in the sin bin. Dirty Westies!!! Nah well done Nick. Enjoy the week off and good luck for the big one.

I was responding to your comment about having no openside on the bench. Saying (tongue in cheek) that Leroy would cover that role.

Yeah MMM will surely start at 6. Actually wouldnt surprise me if Sharpe came straight into the starting side and Deans kept Mumm on the bench though.
