There were a number of reasons the Wallabies got done today - but one of them is that they were simply out-muscled. I've heard people around here and in the media (Spiro) banging on about players getting to bulky and losing pace etc. Quite simply this is not true. Muscle does not slow down a...

Good work by the Tahs against a hapless Chiefs outfit... 3. Beale - Extra bulk suits him, defence and passing both much improved and just so much talent... 2. Mitchell - Didn't rate him last year, but he's been good value for the Tahs. Really put the Chiefs on the back foot early. 1. TPN - A...

How good was he this evening? Granted - at the start of the season he was playing "2nd Five" too much and not playing to his strengths but he seems to have the balance right now. Tonight he did it all - distributing, kicking, cover-defending and of course running over fluffybunnies... He seems...

Toulon now top of the table... Love watching them play these days. SBW, Kefu and Rooney - you'd have any of them... Still feel a little ill watching Wilkinson kicking droppies though... don't know why that is... Highlights from the weekend just gone...

Another toughie for different reasons...

A tough ask I know...

http://www.theage.com.au/rugby-union/union-news/aru-denies-injuryhit-force-staniforth-lifeline-20100217-odyq.html Umm sorry why? There is no good reason the ARU should block a loan. Football (soccer) clubs do it all the time.

If you, like me, live in Melbourne and have often wondered where to watch a game of rugby.. This is the place. Great atmosphere, every (Big) screen locked on the game with commentary. Watched the last bledisloe and it was a better atmosphere than most pubs in Sydney - a few too many Kiwis...

This could be interesting. Nick Mallet has finally had to overlook Craig Gower's previous indiscretions and select him for the Italy squad based on his form in the French Top 14 competition this year. As he is now playing fly-half for Bayonne it makes for a match-up you certainly wouldn't have...

I've been following the French Top 14 rugby this season because, let's face it, its far more interesting than the Super 14. Hell - over there they've got Australian players who actually make line breaks and score tries! :o Anyways, what has become apparent as the season has gone on is how well...
