Both first instances were nearly identical - within the first 10-15 mins of the game, no trend established, tackler made the tackle and in both instances immediately commenced to move out of the way, both were between the attacking 22m and half way but opposite sides if the field. Players know...

Part of the frustrations for many viewers is the variation in decisions on nearly identical situations by different referees and their different game management styles - leading to different outcomes (many have already noted the variations in the refereeing of the attempted pilfer). For...

Poor and baffling decision not to postpone. Error ridden game due to the wet conditions resulting in a high number of breakdowns or turnovers. Not a good spectacle for the average punter. The womens' game after this will be a shocker. The groundsman will be having heart palpitations.

Australia confirmed to host 2027 and 2029 World Cups

Zander and Norths. Zander would start and get towelled up by the opposition, then the Norths coach would replace him to shore the scrum up again.

Two days to go until the World Rugby Council is scheduled to vote to confirm the allocation of up to five Rugby World Cups, including Australia's 2027 and 2029 preferred status bids

Pretty simple really. Hardwick held but got knee to ground, Ref calls tackle, Brumbies release Hardwick, Hardwick gets up off knee without releasing the ball and getting to his feet first so would have been a penalty to Brumbies. Ref however correctly reverted to the earlier infringement where...

Yeah. Pretty obvious baulk by Porecki at the lineout where they ended up throwing to the front. Should have been a short arm to the Drua.

Surely you jest. The entire front row, a couple of blokes in the back five and most of the backline will all be different.

Anyone know why RSA don't have a women's team?

I assume the non-inclusion of Premier Women was just an oversight.

Overall a fairly close contest. Five missed kicks against two missed kicks didn't help, along with an intercept against the run of play. Some encouraging signs. Petaia has no confidence at this level. Caught out in defence numerous times and anonymous in getting involved in attack. Kellaway...

Fact Check 1: The video evidence proves that the assertion that GPS had an illegal player on the field is incorrect. No 5 was yellow and blue carded and left the field. A fresh player came on and what looks like No 19 went off. No illegal player as two players left the field and only one came...

The first discriminator is most wins so GPS would have had 9 wins and the loser of Brothers or Bond only 8 wins.

No consistency with Colts 1 where three matches were played and Brothers v Bond was not. The Brothers v Bond match has had points shared while the result of the other three matches stand as far as match results and competition points go. In addition, the QRU did not cancel the reserve grade...

Two reserve grade matches were played and two weren't. The GPS v Wests match affected the final four while the other match played did not. GPS defeated Wests with a bonus point moving them to second place on the ladder in Rugby Explorer. Brothers were due to play Bond where the loser would drop...

It covers all grades. Ladders have been amended dependent on which grades completed a full round. Unlucky for 2nd grade where clubs completed Rnd 17 matches and got a positive result but thems the breaks. See link below...

Your interpretation is incorrect. You must read Competition Rule 10.2 in its entirety, but in particular 10.2 (ii) which identifies only Rugby Australia, QRU and Rugby Australia Sevens contracted players as eligible. Non QRU playeres (eg Rebels players) not contracted to Rugby Australia or Rugby Australia Sevens are not eligible unless they...

I don't believe any leniency can be shown. The competition rules are quite specific about the limits of the discretionary powers of the management committee - see below. 'To reiterate, the only discretionary power available to the Management Committee is in regards to injury to the player for...
