I think this deserves its own thread, branching off from the Olympics discussion. It's clear that our men's 7s program needs a new approach. Despite a lot of effort, we continue to be a middling 7s team. We might pop up and win a tournament every few years, but we will never be a major power...

So this week on the podcast we went back and discussed the first game of the 2000 Bledisloe, aka 'The Greatest Game of All Time'. I thought we could all use a distraction from the world and this serves that purpose quite nicely. Alongside the podcast (which can be found here) I thought a...

I like this Paul Cully article about the coach search: https://www.smh.com.au/sport/rugby-union/the-world-hasn-t-ended-key-factors-for-picking-the-next-wallabies-next-coach-20191026-p534g6.html

Another Friday, another thread. This one is far more subjective. Name a XV of your favourite Wallabies. Don't have to be the best players, just the ones you liked the most. I'll go first. 1. Benn Robinson 2. Jeremy Paul 3. Al Baxter 4. Nathan Sharpe 5. John Eales 6. Scott Fardy 7. George...

It's Friday and I'm bored. We're almost at the end of the 2010s, so let's pick a team of the decade. Criteria: Have to have played a test since 2010 (obviously) Players are picked on the basis of peak form, not longevity Players must be picked in the position where they displayed that peak...

Good people of G&GR, I'm moving house, and seriously considering ditching the Foxtel for a cheaper option. I'm currently on the sport HD package, which sets me back roughly $70 a month. Does anyone have any experience with Foxtel Now? I like the cheaper price tag but I worry about...

https://t.co/05IxCt63DV Would be huge if the ARU is in any way involved. Also think it's interesting the All Blacks chose game morning to leak this discovery to the press!

Overseas players now able to be picked for the Wallabies provided they have 60 caps or 7 years service. Also overseas players who commit to coming back to Super Rugby can play for the Wallabies the year before they return. Fuuuuuck!!! Let the selection games begin!

If only I knew. BPRC will be along shortly with more info.

We (Kings Old Boys, 3rd div subbies) are looking at our 2014 pre-season, and wondering what events are on offer in February and March. We currently go to Orange for a 10s tournament, but are looking at branching out to other events. What tournaments are the best? Obviously the quality of...

Ben Mowen now captain, Quade Cooper as VC. Kev only stays in starting XV because of Simmons injury.

Thought I would start a discussion on this as there are a few interesting selection decisions to make. Obviously you would think our long-term backrow would be something like Mowen/Pocock/Higgers. But as two of those players are injured (along with Palu as well) it means there are spots up for...

Seemingly confirmed now. One of the most universally applauded appointments in recent memory. Surely this will bring in 100 years of Wallaby dominance, a golden age which will never end....... Or at least a 70% win ratio. .

The test is just a few days away, it's time to get psyched up. I've written an article on the front page outlining the reasons we will BELT the Lions on Saturday. This is not a thread for logical, level-headed analysis. It's not a place for negativity or constructive criticism. I just want...

According to Georgina Robinson on twitter, JOC (James O'Connor) has signed for 3 years with Shute Shield club West Harbour. What. The. Fuck. Obviously means a move to the Tahs is on the cards. .

Stood down after having a drink after the Chiefs game, despite the fact that an alcohol ban was a condition of his return.

I'm sick of Quade, so thought we could have a bit of a quiz. 1. Under Robbie Deans we have had 22 different centre combinations. Can we name them all? 2. In that time, 5 players have played both 12 AND 13. Who are they? Horne, Fainga'a, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), Mortlock, Tapuai 3. Only one combination appears...

Interesting tidbid that has been the subject of some amusement with our friends across the dutch. BB has punctured his lung and can't travel home, so he has been taken in by the All Blacks. Their doctor is looking after him, he has been staying at the team hotel, going to training and was...

OK want to do a piece for the blog on this, just want to get some input from the masses. Always like to throw in a few curveballs, which explains a few controversial choices. Here is my draft team of the season: 1. Benn Robinson 2. Stephen Moore 3. James Slipper 4. Scott Fardy 5. Nathan...
