Whilst it's not strictly rugby related, I reckon it has a potentially big impact on Rugby. If the mods want to move it then fair enough. With my concern for rugby being so great these days, I can't but help feeling a little glad when I hear bad news about our rival codes. Now that Big Clive...

What are your thoughts on the reappoint and Hoskins as vice chairman? I haven't heard much love for Hoskins so I can't imagine that will go down well. Read more: http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/union-news/bernard-lapasset-reelected-irb-boss-20111213-1os14.html#ixzz1gNxWYsVB

What are your thoughts on the changes? I am not entirely sure of the benefits of not playing everyone twice. http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/union-news/shute-shield-revamp-20111117-1nl57.html#ixzz1dyIfqldz

First of all congratulations New Zealand. Amazing team that was consistent throughout the tournament. I can't begrudge them winning. From a neutral's point of view, it was a good game and that had a lot to do with the referee not blowing his whistle. However, I couldn't help feel that Joubert...

EDIT: Not questioning whether he is good player. Who would you pick based on form next week? Some might say it was a one of, but IMO it was reflective of most of the test season. Cooper has been brilliant for the Reds this year, but he has struggled to replicate this form for the Wallabies...

I am a big fan of Berrick, but I have found it strange that numerous people on this site and others are claiming that he is Australia's best goal kicker and by some distance. From my memory I can't remember him having a dramatically successful season with the boot in any season to date, which I...

After the dominating the Boks scrum two weeks ago and a decent performance the week before against the ABs, there have been a couple of articles claiming our scrum is now a weapon. Is it perhaps a bit premature? Whilst there has been a definite improvement, I find it hard to reconcile that...

I'm a fan of the 5-2 bench split atm. The extra forward can really help the wallabies win the battle at the breakdown and there is good versatility in the backs to overcome any injuries. Is is it really necessary to carry another 7 on a 5-2 bench for the wallabies atm? You would like to use...

Does anyone know the exact viewing figures for the final? I was watching Fox Sports News and I thought I heard Greg Clark saying that the final was the most watch program ever in Australia on fox. He could have said the most watched Sports Program. I'm not entirely certain. Considering the...

If the tahs win (a big if), would you prefer to see a Reds v Tahs semi, or Stormers v Tahs? Either is a possibility depending on the result of the Crusaders v Sharks. I'd be interested to hear what G&GR readers think. Personally, I would if the tahs went to cape town, because that would leave...

Has this been started yet? Rebels: Mark Gerrard, Richard Kingi, Afusipa Taumoepeau, Stirling Mortlock (capt), Cooper Vuna, Danny Cipriani, Nick Phipps, Gareth Delve, Michael Lipman, Jarrod Saffy, Adam Byrnes, Alister Campbell, Greg Somerville, Ged Robinson, Nic Henderson. Res: Adam Freier...

Lions looking good for an upset atm. Lions 20-9 Sharks. Good news for tahs. Anyone else watching.

I thought it'd be interesting to see what everyone is thinking at this stage of the super comp. Ok assuming you can only take 30 and there is a 16 forwards 14 backs split, who would you take? Squad make up can include anyone who will be fit. This isn't so much on form, just what you would...

An Article in the Australian today revealed that Melbourne Victory as in from the A-League, or at least its owners, are the undisclosed second party in the running for the new super franchise. More importantly, the licences of all current super 14 franchises will expire at the end of this year...
