Who is the fellow second from the left in the front row in the photo on page 1?
Here is what I wrote on another rugby site after the tournament about WA:
Played well against Qld Whites and...
Thanks for that Coach.
Match reports would be appreciated from the guys who go up there - and assessments of new players. Ditto for the Brumbies new players too please.
Also - how did Justin...
I know Chance is the son of France Bunce but anybody know anything about the trial players with an asterisk beside their names?
I assume they are all locals.
Tonkar you are going to need a few million Euros to buy out Wilko's contract from Toulon owner Mourad Boudjellal and he won't sell him anyway.
For those talking about Stannard as a 9 earlier in...
By and large Brock has been playing well this year and plays well with scrummie Senio. But when the main no.9, Parra, returned from the RWC and played in his usual individual style, James became...
James - thanks for the heads up about Godwin.
Did Turner train - and if so, was he stretching out?
Thank you.
Yep - full contract for two years. Had a terrific season in the Shute Shield for Northern Suburbs and was not a bad goal kicker ... to boot. :) :)
What is the latest about how Kyle has recovered from his operation?
Did he play club footie in Perth in 2011 after the op and if so, did his shoulder hold up?
Thanks.
PS I was at the game...
I am glad that young Salesi, who ended up at my local club, The Warringah Rats, during the 2011 season because he wasn't a happy camper at Manly, has got a Super gig.
I was surprised that the...

I saw Beale first as a 13 y.o. at Joeys in an U13 trial match (he's got a January birth date) and I was gob smacked. I looked for him the next week but he was playing in the U15 trials. They had...
A pity about Ripia: he had a cracking game in the trial v Oz Baas.
Good to see Shep starting again - he played OK at Nowra.
The experiment of McCalman at lock failed IMO at Nowra and the Tahs...
I thought I posted a report on the game earlier this morning but I must have pushed the wrong button. I posted it on another forum I post on so I will just post the link, if that is OK.
There...

Kick-off: 7:30pm (AEDT)
1. Pek Cowan
2. Nathan Charles
3.Tim Fairbrother
4. Phoenix Battye

PS - There were no team lists for the A game and I didn't know a lot the local WA or ACT players. So I asked one of the Force mafia if he had a list he said he didn't but yelled out to this other...
Western Force 40 - Australian Barbarians 24 (I think)
Their game was slightly cooler but not a lot because it was stinking hot. I must say the TG Milner ground was in tip top shape as it looked...
Western Force A 45 - Brumby Runners 5 (I think)
The Force Twos put away the Brumbies Twos no problemo in the heat today. The Runners may have had a few missing players with the main team in...
No, he won't be. He played for the Kiwi Sevens team 2 years ago; so he will never be able to play for Oz and can't be counted as an emerging foreign player.
Nevertheless as the marquee player...
Alfi is a good player and a marginal starter if he can stay healthy.
Sidey was a good club player in Sydney and after he went overseas played well for the Dragons in the Magners League in the...
Hands off you western bandits. Peterson, was a Dan Vickerman type at the schoolboy level last year, and has accepted a second year in the NSW Academy in 2011 rather than angle for something "better"...
I know what it used to mean. It was a condition for all Super teams to have at least 3 rookies contracted i.e. players who had never played Super rugby before - and IIRR, a maximum of 5.
The idea...
I thought that Ripia was a bit better than solid in that game v BOP though he is not a noted playmaker or runner. Nothing much should be made of the fact that he couldn't nail down the Hurricanes...
