@NTA The selector is apparently from the ACT...
I also read that the NSW sides had coaching dramas just before the competition. I've always subscribed to the theory that you should select the better players and mould your own team anyway.
@antipodean youd have to wonder what the point of having the tournament is then.
Given the state of Aussie rugby, the optics of the selections are abysmal, talk about reinforcing a stereotype of Aussie rugby being Sydney private school centric.

New indigenous jersey for the Wallabies, as worn here by Beale.
I like it.
-
@NTA great stuff by Beale, and i really like that jersey (as much as i can like any Wallaby jersey). Should be worn all year.
(on a much lower note, glad to see Beale smiling after the week he's had re: AFL house)

Surely he can do better than that? She's barely footy trip material.

@antipodean a bloke threw away a high paying job to hit it, so maybe we are missing something?

Well if we're going to throw money onto the roulette wheel, I'm doubling down on ATM...

Steven Moore was at kids training last night. He's a BMW rep and they had 4 (beautiful) cars there hoping perhaps to flog some of them off to the more well-heeled parents.
He seemed like a really good bloke. Stayed for ages and gave dozens of selfies, autographs etc., raffled some rugby balls. Embarrassingly my youngest said he just wanted to look at the cars (fark I hope Moore didn't hear that) and my eldest only gives a shit about skateboarding.
Anyway, I take my hat off to him. Obviously the Reds' appalling season gave him plenty of time for the visit, but he seemed to be a genuinely good bloke who enjoyed being there. While my own spawn didn't appreciate it, many certainly did.
Respect Mr Moore.

@Rancid-Schnitzel Sounds like he should retire and become a cars salesman then.

@antipodean Not flattering photo, Google tells me she is pretty tidy.

On a good day he looks like a bulldog chewing on a wasp so I'd say he's punching above his weight there.

This shit again?
Fuck. Right. Off
Because SA js starting to align themselves with Europe ... I can see why the Aussies are pushing to break up super rugby
that said, the Saffer bring in all the $$$, so not sure how good the party will be without them.
Are they really though? They've been saying this about Europe for years and nothing's happened.
The Kings and Spears are about to join the Pro 12.
The future makeup of the Pro12 will become clearer on Friday with the South Africa Rugby Union ready to confirm the Southern Kings and the Cheetahs will be cut from Super Rugby.

This time it seems to be happening - not just flirting, but getting stuck in
Do you have a link from anyone in the pro 12 management saying this is going to happen?

This is the most official you can get:
Statement: PRO12 talks with South African Rugby Union
19 JUL 2017Celtic Rugby can confirm that advanced & positive discussions are taking place with the South African Rugby Union regarding the introduction of 2 teams into an expanded Guinness PRO12 Championship. Given the proximity of the 2017/18 season start, a final decision on this potential expansion will be confirmed as soon as practical.And that's all.
