    Doping in Rugby

    Surprised more hasn't been made of this but Rhys Webb and Elton Janties have been busted using ability-enhancing drugs. Two pretty high profile players, apparently the one Rhys got caught with, is quite hard to detect and has a very short period of detection in the body. Begs the question how...

    Wallabies v Argentina @ CommBank Stadium 7.45pm Sat 15/07

    Shake off the Bokkies loss and move on. Two teams thoroughly spanked looking for a comeback, two teams have a tight turn around to travel across oceans and many time zones. Not very long to do big alterations and try new combinations. Two teams coached by fiery Australians. I was about to say...

    Barbarians v World XV

    Crossing fingers that Kerevi & Quade come out unscathed. Kinda happy that Koroibete isn't playing anymore. We know he's fit and firing and doesn't need another chance to injure himself. Pretty fun coaching line up with EJ (Eddie Jones) against Steve Hansen too. Good luck to Phipps, Simmons & Hockings too...

    Rebels v Brumbies 2.35pm 07/05

    Rebels would do their final hopes an absolute service if they could somehow pick up this game. Brumbies need to squish the Rebels to get a home semi. Brumbies by 15.

    Hurricanes v Brumbies

    Understrength Brumbies might struggle away against a strong Hurricanes team. No Samu or Ikitau. Hurricanes vs Brumbies, 5.05pm Hurricanes (1-15): Xavier Numia, Asafo Aumua, Tyrel Lomax, James Blackwell, Isaia Walker-Leawere, Devan Flanders, Du’Plessis Kirifi, Ardie Savea (c), Cam Roigard...

    Drua v Rebels 01/04

    Must win game as Rebels have Crusaders and Blues both at home following this. Rough. We've seen how much the Drua have pushed other teams, this game will be an absolute try fest. Really going to miss Hosea's aggression and Hodge's boot this game. Hoping for a substantial cameo from Kellaway for...

    Rebels v Reds 25/03 @ AAMI

    With news that RugbyReg will have to strap on the boots one more time for the Reds as their prop injury crisis becomes catastrophic, the Rebels will be planning an ambush at the Stockade. Dampening the Rebels' spirits will the long term absence of Australia's favourite player Reece Hodge. What's...

    Chiefs v Rebels 14:35 18/03

    Competition's leaders away from home, tough ask for plucky Rebels. A bonus point loss would be admirable.

    SRP (Super Rugby Pacific) Round 1 25/02/23 Force v Rebels

    Clash of the titans, pretty safe bet this is a preview of the grand final. I'd say Force should win this convincingly after last year's effort. Also with the injuries the Rebels already have. We're not going to see Nu'u, Kellaway and of course Philip and Leota. Assuming Pone is also out because...

    RWC Tickets/Fan Experience

    Lucky enough to get tickets to Aus v Wales in Lyon then Aus v Portugal the following weekend. Take a tidy two weeks off work, nip over for a week of rugby in the south, then see the in-laws up north before coming home. Currently trying to work out where to stay after the Portugal game though...

    And The Other Autumn Internationals '22

    Thought we could do with a thread for the rest of the international matches apart from the All Blacks & Wallabies. Ireland v South Africa could be the game of the round. But I'm actually picking Italy v Samoa. The Samoan XV has some big (nay, massive) guns in what seems to be their full...

    Wallabies v Springboks II, Allianz Stadium 7:35pm 03/09/22

    Time to get this ball rolling, are Springboks going to be so confident as to naming their team on Monday afternoon last week? I'd be impressed if they did. You'd imagine Duane will be benched. They are flush for 8s, no need to keep a man past it. Is it Elton after Pollard? Not sure who I'd want...

    Argentina v Australia II @ 5.10am 14/08

    Minimal changes, keep supersub Hodge on the bench, Lolesio to leapfrog him straight into the team as McReight did Samu. Arnold to start, Philip to bench, Frost out. 1 Slipper (C) 2 Fainga'a 3 Ala'alatoa 4 Swain 5 Arnold 6 Holloway 7 McReight 8 Valetini 9 White 10 Lolesio 11 Koroibete 12 Paisami...

    Australia v England: Match II @ Suncorp 7.55pm AEST, 09/07

    Alrighty, 5 nights to go. You don't dispatch the soap dodgers with a man down for 50 minutes and go doing unforced changes. Hopefully the English freak out and do wholesale changes. 1. Bell 2. Porecki 3. Tupou 4. Philip 5. Neville 6. Leota 7. Hooper 8. Valetini 9. White 10. Cooper 11. Koroibete...

    Brumbies v Hurricanes, 2pm, 01/05

    Didn't expect to see Banks back so soon. Good for Brumbies & Wallabies. Really strong team, Hurricanes $1.60 favourites unfairly IMO.
