Anyone following this? Good game tonight, great to see the Matildas win, they have heaps of room for improvement especially with linking to the strikers, too many poor balls through leading to no chance of having a shot. One thing I found interesting was the pitch of the roar of the crowd when...

There has been a bit of talk in the media about the Australian bid for the 2027 World Cup. Unions have to express their intention by the end of the month and so far no teams apart from Australia have formally announced their interest...

Finally we know who will be in the Final, a repeat of last years opponents but will this year bring a different result? I think there will be a lot of interest about player injuries this week, with Paisami out, what happens to the Reds backline? For the Brumbies is Samu going to be fit, he...

This should be an interesting match, the Force are playing for their season and need will want a win to secure a final spot against the Brumbies. Reds will go into a rest week after this game so will not want to risk injury or wearing out key players so there is a chance that the Reds could...

I am getting pretty concerned about the conditions of the Rebels home ground. It has been pretty bad all season and to be honest I think it is becoming a safety risk. Last night the rebels scored a try and the Canes player (from memory no.11??) turned and got stuck in a sand divot and was...

So I decided this was the week to get back on my bike, in 2012 I was riding about 200km a week and had gotten to 69kg (should aim for about 72-75kg). Needless to say I started a new job that did not give me time to ride as much and then I had my first child, well my wife did but I like to be...

In todays game I think there was a gouge on Charles by Rodney Blake (I am pretty sure it was Blake) at 57.12 into the game. The scrum had broken up and there was a bit of a scuffle. Charles got pushed away from the scuffle but when he returned he had fingers run over his face. A few minutes...

I love watching Tatafu Polota-Nau play the game, he plays hard and always seems to enjoy the game, always smiling. But I am really starting to become very concerned about his welfare, and especially his long term prospects of having some type of concussion based injury to his brain. Last night...

A question for the referees out there- I thought that if you deliberately knock the ball to the ground instead of trying to intercept then it was a penalty, or even a yellow/red card. Is this the case if you knock it toward your own line, or only if it is towards the opponants line? In the...

Thoughts on the upcoming game? This is a vital game to the Reds, even though it is only early in the season we will be in South Africa for rounds 4 and 5 and have 2 very hard games away. I still think that the Reds and Tahs will be fighting it out for top spot in the Australian group and...

1- Was Samos try the longest wait for a first try in Test Rugby? I realise that it wouldn't be in terms of games in a career but in calendar terms it must be close. 2- Is 26 phases close to a defensive record for holding out the All Blacks from scoring? Letting them in was a shame but it was...

I was watching a 2006 S14 game between NSW and QLD on foxtel the other day. It had a fight after about 10 seconds and then a couple more in the first few minutes It was called Rugby Rivalries and they had a Crusaders v ACT final on as well. While watching this game I realised how much I...

From Twitter this morning- I just lost some for A Fainga! drew_mitchell giteau_rugby WTF?

Sadly we are at the time of the year where we have no games on a Friday evening, what is there to look forward to while working? I think that now we are into the finals and Test season maybe the ARU should try to use the gap in programming on a Friday night to launch another level of Rugby for...

The Reds should look at Quades U8's brother! form his Twitter acount today- Thats a pretty impressive performance, lets hop Quade can do that against the bulls.

I am only giving ratings to those who stood out and deserved mentioning, there were more in the squad than this list but it is my list so it will have to do! Feel free to comment and rip my thoughts apart. Ben Alexander- Not yet convince of his ability, but he is certainly streets ahead of...

As soon as TPN lined up for his first line out last night I had a feeling it would be bad. Is it just me or is his first throw in EVERY game he plays terrible? I know it is not easy running on and having to throw a line out straight away, but would he practice his range before going on the...
