Big clash coming up for the Reds hosting the top of the table Chiefs. The Chiefs were absolutely electric against the Brumbies last weekend and should present even more of a challenge then the Hurricanes. That said, this has been a surprisingly even match up in recent times with the record...

Figured it's about time to get this going again. Happy to compile the votes, but equally happy to leave it to someone who has done it before if they're keen to go again. Open to thoughts on eligibility but my preference is players eligible for the Wallabies and playing for an Australian super...

https://reds.rugby/news/queensland-reds-v-western-force-trial-match-tickets-on-sale-now-2024115 First Trial of the season coming up next weekend. I think the Reds forward pack is probably already pretty set coming into the season but there are lots of questions about how the backline will shape...

Should be seeing teams announced later today, but it sounds like Vunivalu will be out and Lawson Creighton will start at 10 for the Reds. Expecting a(nother) big performance from guys like McDermott and Wilson to prove Eddie wrong.

With the focus on Wallaby eligible players in the TotW and the good performance of various ineligible players recently I figured it was worth tracking the eligibility of players somewhere. This my attempt at that, based on World Rugby regulation 8 (not Giteau law), broken down into different...

Thrush to captain and it looks like the Force have picked up Rahboni: https://www.rugby.com.au/news/six-changes-made-to-take-on-moana-pasifika-202339

Super W draw has been released: https://www.rugby.com.au/news/super-w-draw-2023-season-fijiana-drua-nsw-waratahs-20221122 Probably the best possible draw for the Reds, get to build into the season, basically moving from the bottom of the table to the top (rebels and force flipped at the...

Only 2 weeks after the previous clash we get the return fixture. Expecting largely unchanged side for the Reds with Nonggorr coming onto the bench after Zander's suspension. I assume Mogg will slot straight into 15 in place of Banks for the Brumbies, is Lolesio fit to come back at 10? Any...

Reds hosting the Drua at Suncorp on Saturday, kick off at 6:45pm. Lukhan Salakia-Loto added to the Reds injury list and it looks like Wright is still a week off coming back so I think we should see a new back row or lock debut off the bench. Probably one of Connor Vest, Keynan Tauakipulu or...

Thought I'd kick this off for the 2022, here's my round 1 team of the week: 1 Angus Bell 2 Dave Porecki 3 Taniela Tupou 4 Darcy Swain 5 Izack Rodda 6 Angus Scott-Young 7 Brad Wilkin 8 Harry Wilson 9 Tate McDermott 10 Noah Lolesio 11 Tom Wright 12 Hamish Stewart 13 Izaia Perese 14 Andy Muirhead...

Kick off at 7:30 pm (AEST) with the reds streaming this one. Looks like O'Connor, Campbell and Petaia are all clear to play. Paisami and Mcdermott still out: https://www.smh.com.au/sport/rugby-union/bush-bash-wallabies-back-for-nsw-in-roma-trial-against-reds-20220209-p59v2m.html On the tahs...

Team has been named for the Barbarians, and it's about half Australian so I figured this game deserved a thread: Interesting to see O'Connor getting a run at fullback. No idea if this is going to be broadcast in Australia, no sign of it on the Stan calendar.

Looks like it's time to kick off this thread with the news that the Reds are getting an early start in preperation for the 2022 Super W season - they've assembled a squad of 48, well ahead of the usual start time:

I was wondering if anyone had any good sources for detailed rugby statistics? For background - I work in software engineering, on data warehousing and analytics software in particular. I've been looking for a good source of data that I actually care about and have some opinions on how it...

New Zealand have beaten Australia to host the 2021 Women's world cup: http://www.rugby.com.au/news/2018/11/14/womens-rugby-world-cup-2021-host-announcement I really hate to whinge as soon as Australia loses something, but from everything I've seen about the bids this is the wrong decision...

There's been a lot of talk about player distribution in Australia lately, with wallabies top ups and sabbaticals, super rugby players playing in the NRC and particularly the potential for a draft all points of contention. The Force CEO Mark Sindberry has called for a draft...

Round 2 of the NRC is coming up and this Sunday sees Perth Spirit hosting Brisbane City. With both sides winning their inaugural matches this clash is 3 vs 4 on the ladder. Expect both teams to come out firing after an exciting start to the competition. Returning Wallabies for both sides -...
