Reds have lost the last two and are coming back from South Africa for their last game before the Lions. Rebels are on a roll (in relative terms) and looking for their last outstanding Australian scalp. Can the Reds shake off the cobwebs before the invasion, or will the head-wobble continue...

Last time they met, the Rebels won and were on top of the world. Cut to this year, and things are a lot different. Rebels demoralised, Crusaders at home. Will be an interesting match on Sunday afternoon.

Things we know #1: Helping kids is awesome. Things we know #2: James O'Connor has a stupid haircut. James is willing to have his filthy locks lopped if we can raise $10,000, which will go towards helping Spectrum Superstars open an early intervention centre. Look at this. Then...

Breaking news from a SARU General Council meeting: The Southern Kings have been admitted to Super Rugby for 2013, with the Lions relegated for one year. A promotion/relegation system will then be enforced after the 2013 season. Bizarre? Yes. Unnecessary? Also, yes. The easiest way for SARU to...

40 million rand, apparently. http://www.espnscrum.com/super-rugby-2012/rugby/story/167243.html The least controversial route out of SARU's troubles, yes, but this can't be the end of the story...

The one and only Stirling Mortlock announced his retirement today. After over 140 Super caps, amassing over 1000 points in the process, as well as 80 Test caps, with 29 as captain, he will be remembered as one of the greatest players of his generation.

For those of you who miss the Super 14, you might not have long to wait. Tragic news for Otago. EDIT: The Highlanders are apparently no longer affiliated with the ORFU. This means that I have no idea what this means.

MELBOURNE REBELS v NSW WARATAHS FRIDAY MARCH 2, 2012 AAMI PARK, MELBOURNE RECORD - NSW 2 MELBOURNE 0 LAST - NSW 28 def MELBOURNE 9, 2011 R11, SFS Less than a week away from Melbourne's return to Super Rugby, starting off against the NSW Waratahs once again for the Weary Dunlop Shield, at...

As NSW and Queensland dither with the shared acknowledgement of 130 years of failed expectations, it nears time for the blue half to defend their honour against the brash, upstart, more-regularly-inebriated-than-would-seem-appropriate Mexicans. KB (Kurtley Beale) has come home, and NSW must stop his smaller...
