I simply love sport. I spent 15 years umpiring cricket. In my younger days I played tennis, cricket and rugby. Yep I agree, most quite badly! I am very fond of horse racing and have previously been in a syndicate that owned dogs and horses. I know the highs and lows of owning these animals! I have a batting average of 2 but a bowling average of less than 18. I made the transition from pacey winger (100m in under 15secs) to flanker. Oh well! I have lived and worked in quite a few countries thanks to my work commitments but love Australia!

I always thought the Force should have taken matches to say Mt Newman early in the season…especially against a Kiwi team. Would have made the visitors felt right at home!

Righto…is that better or worse than a Brumbies home match in July?

Morning Geoff. Many thanks for your articles. Yes Articles! You covered a fair bit in this one! “This rehash of stale arguments, unsupported by fact…” straight out of The Roar playbook!! Looking forward to the new season very much. I suggest next year that the Reds open their season in say Cloncurry as a 3 pm kickoff versus say the Highlanders. Or maybe Tahs v Stormers at Broken Hill? Show the rugby world what our beautiful country is actually like in the first weekend of February!

Ken Catchpole and a couple of Lawsons spring to mind if we are discussing greats.

Interesting article Rhys. Into the selection mix surely must go the opposition? After all the aim is to score more points than them, i.e. to win. Now obviously balance between defense and attack are required. Thank you one and all for the passion and commentary. It’s great to be discussing rugby for a change…not that other stuff from last year!

Can Isaac Lucas become the new Stephen Larkham?

Awesome read Nick. Stand off, tenth man, first five, flyhalf. Not just local titles for the same jersey, but a reflection on how the number 10 plays around the world. In Australia we prefer a attacking player who can defend and set others in motion. Quade Cooper was a good attacking player but a lousy defensive one. Hence his movement to the rear in defence. Anyway…we will watch and learn as the season unfolds. Thanks again for your analysis…the videos really amplify your writing.

Brett…re Saracens. I bet they are covering several things by keeping their books closed. Things like tax, etc. No doubt there are confidentiality clauses between the club and the players. As for Super Rugby…yes a bit early. But let’s just sit back and enjoy! Fantastic to be discussing on field stuff for a change!

The big questions coming out of the shortest ever Australian rugby pre-season

Pretty simple. Australia beat India first up and they responded big time. No surprise for such a talented team playing at home under some pressure no doubt!

What are the reasons behind Australia's loss against India?

Unlucky hundred runs short….hmmm. I know that feeling. A great read like usual Dan.

English champions Saracens to be relegated for salary cap breach

View Comment

Hmmmm…there are a few angles to this. Firstly the public will never know the extent of the salary cap breaches. Secondly unless some players leave they will be ridiculously strong in the next league and so will likely yo-yo straight back to the premiership the season after. I guess the other issue is who is available for selection for the national teams…

hmmmm….not so sure. Suggest you consult wider. Perhaps start with Mr Haris Rauf.

Thrillingly hatless! Sounds like the new jingle for Ashley and Martin or Advanced Hair Studios. So far so very good Dan!
