A half of halves…..
Genia looking on top form, should be Captain.
O’Conner not passing or kicking well enough.
Thompson and the big Saffa are going to do wonders for the Reds season.

Outside back Kalifa Faifai Loa and former squad member Joe Vickery have both been served with notices to appear in court over the scandal.

Can anyone remember the last time Horwill broke tackle and made any meters with the ball in hand?

Me too.
It’s looking unlikely

Play Sevens in the Olympics……..
To play sevens in the Olympics, shouldn’t you have some actual experience playing Sevens?
When’s he gonna find time for that?
Folau to wait for run at outside centre
There is no problem with retiring, you could if needed fake an injury.
The issue is when do you decide to do it, after one miss? Two, three?
And considering that the next up player is likely to be considered a lesser batsman…
Cricketing loopholes Part 2: A missed opportunity at the BBL?
Rubbish, in the days before stump mikes the clever, witty one liners and often cleverer responses that find their way into autobiographies and tour diaries were but the tip of the iceberg of what was actually said.
The line that Aussies are the worst and most persistent sledgers is a myth trotted out by teams and national journo’s who are trying to justify to themselves what they have lost yet another series…
Cricket and sledging - where is the line?
Quade had no choice, his current reds contract runs for one more year so he could only sign with the ARU for a year.
James Horwill to leave Australia after 2015 Rugby World Cup
Is there another Steve Waugh who captained Australia?
The one I remember invented 3 day tests, killed off nightwatchmen and set an eight man slips cordon.
Or does “conservative and defensive” mean not what I think it means?
Should Michael Clarke handover the Test captaincy?
For some reason, Coopers Reds contract and ARU contract are a year out of synch.
He can only sign with the ARU for one year as that is the length of his current club contract.
Quade Cooper re-signs with Australian Rugby until end of 2015
Australia couldn’t afford to tour the Islands.
No gate money and if a test against one of the home nations wasn’t even shown live on TV I doubt they would get much money for one against the Islanders.
The Islanders need to help themselves first, individually, they are never going to compete, they need to form an Island Union and play a combined team that’s competitive.
Tier 1 nations continue their Pacific neglect
He is not protesting at existing coal mines in Newcastle or elsewhere, nor at gold mines, nor at iron ore mines and also not at uranium mines.
He is protesting at this particular mine for a number of reasons, conservation, community and yes climate change.
The last is a valid argument in support of the others, do we need “another” coal mine at this point in time?
'A Wallaby gets arrested' and other good news
I’ve always been of the mind that one should learn to spell a word correctly before trying to use it in a sentence.
Further, that when spelled correctly and used one should full understand it;’s meaning.
David has not said he is against mining in general, just this particular mine which is close to a school and community and in the middle of a state forest.
Now I’m sure you are all for oil exploration, but how would you feel if BP knocked on your door one day and explained that they intend to drill a test well on your front yard? Would it be hypocritical of you to object?
'A Wallaby gets arrested' and other good news
Have you forgotten our origins?
Telling the man to get stuffed is an Aussie pastime.
David Pocock warned by ARU after arrest
I do believe he wrote an article or commented on someone else’s piece that this was the case.
SPIRO: Oh no, swing low the Wallabies chariot without wheels
Don’t forget to mention Gentle Ben and Ben Dover.
If Slipper and Kepu can’t last 80 minutes and we haven’t racked up a 20 point lead this will be a farce
