Did Jake and Carter ever partner up ? “ The Gordon’s “ oh yeah !
What other nifty pairings have occurred in Rugby ?

Now or never? Wallabies star weighing up overseas move as Waratahs confirm Gordon as skipper

Have another read of his comments and get back to me , perhaps my paraphrasing could have been better .Waugh speaks in Banker/ Finance bs”BS mum I jumbo talk , a humble Blacksmith can’t fathom . “ the term has been around for hundreds ….” Give me a break it’s not the term Don ( I like your posts btw ) it’s the context and intent .

'Not really': RA boss shuts down pursuing NRL star, delivers update on Schmidt's Wallabies future

So the future is a “ work in progress “ is it Phil ? – wow this bloke is so Corporate gobbledygook speak he’s just a joy !

'Not really': RA boss shuts down pursuing NRL star, delivers update on Schmidt's Wallabies future

Let’s drop the breakaways , lineouts , scrums , rucks mails off , go to 6 tackles per possession add some pokies at halfway and there you go !

'Opportunities everywhere': McReight's warning for RA to get serious as Wallabies gun targets big Super season

So just expanding on that point further , shouldn’t RA focus on player numbers first and foremost, and let those players naturally become fans and fill out stadiums? I reckon that’s the go , I’ll bet historically at least , that the proportion of players in a Rugby crowd beats the same ratio in a League crowd.

'Opportunities everywhere': McReight's warning for RA to get serious as Wallabies gun targets big Super season

Just goes back to the old notion of Rugby being a players game and League a spectators game ? Is that the dilemma?

The Foxtel – Newscorp split and the commensurate easing of the DT foot off Rugby’s throat will also result in more money flowing into Rugby don’t worry .

Sorry to say this as I was a big Hooper fan – he is better because he’s a winner by nature . Have a look at Hoopers win loss record .

Any port in a storm then heh ?

Rugby Australia on track to confirm broadcast extension with Nine, NZRU set to cop multimillion-dollar downgrade

How in the hell does Bloody Newscorp , who do generally no reporting on Rugby , get so often quoted as a genuine Rugby source on this site ? P*ss on them I say !

Elvis is just young , give him his ignorance .

How 'woke Pat' overcame 'Aussie exceptionalism' to keep calm and carry on winning as one of our greatest leaders

That’s the first time I’ve heard ‘Reinhardt ‘ and ‘ wet dream ‘ mentioned in the same Century. Or has someone’ woke ‘ up to the possibility?

Cincotta ? Should have stuck to the Family Pharmacy business !

Roosters star reacts to rugby switch 'rumours' - whipped up by his own manager

Thanks for these articles and insights Chips . It’s great to see some focus on the next generation- a sneak peak into the future which doesn’t look to shabby !

Prospecting for gold: The outside backs set to take the Wallabies beyond the golden decade

Isaac Henry is the best Centre prospect , of the inside variety , in this Country bar none although he doesn’t meet you Tafe criteria . Goldsborough falls off way too many tackles to be treated seriously at this stage sorry to say . Henry O’Donnell is a Jason Little clone .

Prospecting for gold: The best young centres in Australian rugby

They weren’t Proper Chaps old boy !

Wasn’t Barrett injured ?

Prospecting for gold: Who stands out in Australia's next generation of front-rowers?

Cron is but one aspect . In terms of Props ( we have always hade top rated Hookers ) they need time in the saddle against the best – how to achieve that . I have closely followed under age teams 20’ s and schools against the international sides and we rarely get bested – plenty of raw young talent – often then under developed and wasted . Lack of scrum time ? Coaching ? Role models ?

Prospecting for gold: Who stands out in Australia's next generation of front-rowers?

This ‘Partnership ‘ with Australian Schools RU has got me flummoxed- why has there not been one to date and who is responsible? My feeling is that the Schools have kept themselves at arm’s length recently and I wonder why? Anyway it’s essential that the two bodies are in lock step surely?

Rugby Australia's five-year plan is cringey - but also absolutely necessary

Neither Maqueen nor Dwyer were school teachers , you may be thinking of the Parrot .

After years of 'crazy selections', Schmidt has 'made up his mind' with Wallabies squad - it's a huge boost

Noah putting up ( a poorly executed) up and under from well within our own half ? Geezus where is that coming from ? I don’t want to sound like a broken record, but he hasn’t got a foggy clue about how to get a back line moving . Further he has a poor field kicking game that just couldn’t get us out of our half – compare to the Irish 10 !

Wallabies left heartbroken as Ireland stage stunning second-half comeback to win in Dublin

Yeah the Force won 2 out of 3 of those games with a Developmental side and narrowly lost to Emerging Ireland.

Two more Aussie threats for Wallabies in Ireland clash as Schmidt's successor Farrell backs young gun in No.10 role

Destroyed Bell ? Big statement clearly lacking no factual support .

Lion tamers: the specialist Wallabies set to go head-to-head with Britain and Ireland's best

Sauce and mild for me !

Wallabies are two years away from their sweet spot - Schmidt is trying to speed up the process with scattergun selections

So many odd statements regarding the Wallabies Nick not sure where to start but nice try .
