Keiren Longbottom Matt Dunning Le Fuse Tim Fairbrother Dan Palmer Discuss. I am concerned that he is in the team based on the season he has had. Why? Edit: and no animosity to the big fellow. He has tried his guts out, and fair play to him for taking his opportunities. But I see this...

http://www.rugbyrama.fr/rugby/top-14/2010-2011/au-bord-du-pr ecipice_sto2842702/story.shtml Now I think this article is in French, but from others telling it, it seems that the Canadian investor they had who would have sorted them out from last time has fallen through. They are facing a...

Its the end of the season so how did each team go? How did we expect them to go? And where too from here? Force Overall I was a little disappointed with the way the Force went this season. There was the team there to really challenge the best and I was expecting a mid table finish at...

The Force have come into some money, and while I would like to keep it in house, we need another player capable of distributing the ball. I am not convinced that a centre pairing of Sidey and Dellit will work long time, it will be too predictable. Especially with Cullet and Shep in the...

It would seem that the Force are unable to close out games at the end. And it is a big problem. We have been saying that they are unlucky, but that cant be the reason, there have been so many games lost in the final moments. So far, they should have put away: Reds round 1 - lost 20 to...

Western Force hooker Nathan Charles is a young professional sportsman at the peak of fitness, with a long career ahead of him and at the top of his chosen sport. Already a Force fixture after just one season in one of the sport's hardest and most physically demanding positions, he was called...

http://rugbywa.com.au/news/article,59867.html Qldposters, is he any good, or is he there on the back of his older brother?

There is a thread over at Planet Rugby talking about player movement after the world cup. I havent seen anything substantiated yet, so they are still rumours. Here is the story so far: Toulon: Sharpe ASM: Gits, Carter, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), Palu Northh: Vicks Bath: Alexander, Chizz Japan: Diggers...

Apologies for the poor grammar, it was an article in French. 800k euros a year! He would be mad not to take it. http://www.rugby365.fr/infos-clubs/toulon/article_481533_Toulon-Smith-au-Japon.shtml

There seems to be an opinion around (especially on another site) that Nathan Sharpe does not push in the scrums. What is the go here? Does he? Does anyone know? Im not a second row expert, but surely the only people who could know are the props in front of him and the scrum coach? I...

When he comes back from injury, assuming he finds form, where does he fit into this squad? I want him in the Wallabies because he runs hard and straightens. We dont havbe enough guys in the team who do that - AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) is the only one. I cant see JOC (James O'Connor) being dropped. But equally, it will be very...

Its something we have all seen. Australia are in attack, Giteau has the ball in his hands and he starts running at right angles to the way you want him to go, until he finds the sidelines. And then like me, you probably hurl abuse at the television, telling Giteau to sort himself out. I guess...

How will this pan out? Most of the teams have their strongest team sorted now, and most of their reserves as well. For me, I think: Tahs Reds Force Brumbies Rebels I think the Tahs have a team that could win the whole comp, if their chips fall in the right places. They have a front...

It must be coming around to that time of the year again. I know the Spring Tour is still to happen, but surely McCaw has it in the bag. What other contenders are there?

http://www.waratahs.com.au/Waratahs/News/NewsArticle/tabid/157/ArticleID/379/Default.aspx A real pity. Hope he gets through this and plays again.

Who are we likely to see back before the end of the 3N? As far as I know, these are the players we are waiting to get back: Alexander - season TPN - ? Horwill - ? Palu - ? Hynes - ? Chambers - ? Horne - ? Ioane - ? Anyone I have missed. Who of that lot will be fit for the Boks...

He doesnt seem to have the ability to really lead the lads. He is a fantastic player, and important for the Wallabies, but there were several occassions tonight where he needed to take charge and he didnt. And the Wallaby discipline was terrible. Rocky needed to sort that out. I dont think...
