Sevens rugby has become far to specialized as a game. League players would not fit automatically in. Nor would 15 a side rugby players. Players need time and experience in sevens rugby. They need to be on the sevens irb tour full time. That is why now the best sides are contracting sevens players full time. Geez even scotland have full time sevens contracts. Parachuting players in, league or union, is a recipe for disaster.

Does Olympic rugby need NRL players?

Best of luck Clyde

RATHBONE: Why I've returned to rugby

What the crowd looking like?

Wallabies vs All Blacks: Bledisloe Cup live scores, blog

Remember Auckland. Remember the arrogance, the vileness,, the thugishess. Time to put these creeps back in their box. C’mon on wallabies.

How can the Wallabies beat the All Blacks on Saturday?

What kind of crowd are they expecting?

SPIRO: All Blacks selectors pay the ultimate respect to the Wallabies

What happened to the 80k crowd that was tipped?

Pies pip Swans by 8 points in AFL thriller

I was overseas when it kicked off, but I remember thinking why would they have it start in a world cup year? Interest was focused on the wallabies, and the top line players were out in France for most of it. Should have started in 06 or 08

The ARC five years on: What might have been

Quade will prove the doubters wrong. I have faith in his genius. Qc and Barnes as my 10/12 combo.

Wallabies support Cooper after Henry attack

Spiro you are wrong on Thorpe. What was this article based on? One article in the tele? I have been glued to bbc coverage. Thorpe was very good, epically as heh build into his duties. He was quite funny, but more importantly very knowledgeable. Unfair attack spiro.

SPIRO: Look, Thorpie, we can do without that constant 'look' word

Agreed. The thorpedo is anchoring the bbc coverage. Could you imagine mark foster doing that on channel 9?

Why Australia is failing in London

The bbc is just a step above what Australia can offer. I have 24 channels to choose from. Thorpe has been very amusing.

Gold for Australia in Olympic gloating

Dismissal effort from the Aussies once gain. This is pathetic.

London 2012 Olympic Women's Team Pursuit: live updates, blog

Another race another failure. Surprise surprise….

Have we failed our athletes, or have they failed us?

Geez I didn’t see those comments. It makes me angry. The noise seems to be helping the Brits! The Aussies have the 2nd best support there. They should thrive of it.

I can’t imagine the likes of france, in a deep recession, funding there swimmers more then us, yet they have won 4 golds in the pool, I believe. Funding is not what it’s about. Last night I watched the Kenyan and Ethiopian girls dominate the 1500m running. Yet they have very little funding. Aussies at this games have no heart.

On he up side it means I have even focusing on sports I have neglected in the past like fencing, judo, gymnastics. I am over swimming.

Have we failed our athletes, or have they failed us?

The bulk of Australia’s performances at these games have been pathetic. It’s simply not good enough. These athletes seem more concerned about twitter, Facebook and ncknames. We need to focus. Sending people like liesel jones to the games were a mistake. The missile is a disgrace. This is poor…..and getting worse.

Have we failed our athletes, or have they failed us?

Cance is out of it. This is a 3 horse race. Come on froome and wiggo.

Another night of swimming and another night of no golds. Australia are simply not good enough. That was shown perfectly in a weak 5th place finish in the four by two hundred.

Great news. Good riddance. He was almost as big a failure as rocky.

Foley gone: Waratahs official media release

Disgrace it was. You know we are in trouble when a 37 year old is still our best beach player. Great in her day, but there should have been a younger generation by now.

Another Aussie gold goes begging in London

And now the female beach volley valleys are about to go out. Another disgrace?

Another Aussie gold goes begging in London

Another disappointing day for the Aussies. Very disappointing Australian swimming team. Team GB aren’t much better…..

Another Aussie gold goes begging in London

IMO Australian swimming was to reliant on a few superstars who would collect a handful of gold each in our golden era. If we were to look a bit deeper at that period we may find that we were not as good as we thought. Look at team USA. Every event they seem to have people right up there. We don’t and perhaps we never did.
