Henry Speight returns to the wing for his first appearance since fracturing his jaw in round 5 when the University of Canberra Brumbies take on the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein. Australia’s top try-scorer in 2012 and 2013, Speight has been limited to just four appearances for the UC Brumbies in 2014, a...

Yes, because that is what happened from the very beginning ? I don't follow your thinking. We had front pages dedicated to Julia Gillards dress sense and her accent. i haven't seen the same for Tony Abbott. Yeah nothing about Abbott ............................ http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AX4TA4Dxtv0...

Every lunchtime at my school, we would play touch whilst the teachers were watching and a hybrid rules rugby/league/nfl game as soon as they left the oval. It was great - mauls, blocking, forward passes, and you only had to be onside at the start of every phase. It didn't help me skills wise, but co...

To be fair, its not his size that is most remarkable, its the combination of size skill and athleticism.

So C Pyne says states need to find the $80B and they have numerous ways to do this. So it's blindingly obvious they want the states to champion an increase in the GSt. However what will the Libs say if they go down a path of lifting payroll tax, stamp duty etc. instead? Wasn't the libs whole premis...

Adding a bit more starch to the pack with the Bone Collector and getting my uncapped player in with the always sensational and Wallaby shoe in Henry Speight http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/11/23/article-2237619-15F568FD000005DC-234_634x452.jpg http://images.smh.com.au/2014/01/24/5104232/ng-artn-...

All this "sharing the pain" stuff is just total bullshit. The poor will bear a totally disproportionate share of the pain, especially the working poor, but also the unemployed of course. The Federal Government - either side of politics - should have the guts to do something about wealthy retirees, ...

This is a guy I'd go after if he doesn't make an NFL practice squad - although he did just sign an UDFA contract.

Can play both sides of the ball and punt, has decent speed but great agility.

I expended too much energy trying to get 2nd place and locking up a home final, so threw the semi in order to get a rested team with HFA for the bronze final.

Sure enough, there is a massive upset and 4th beat 1st, so the whole thing was in vain. FML

It will be interesting to see how the NZRU approach this. Do they pick a second string, and ensure that game is more even and competitive? Or do they select their strongest possible team, bum-rush the show, and show the world's most lucrative sporting market just how special and how dominant they a...

Zakar

Yes they did, it was a fcuking disgrace to all parties involved IMO. Lucky nobody gives a shit about your opinion. You have no fcuking idea. Some people in the IRB hold my opinion in high regard. Suck on that you fcuking twat. What is the level of swearing you need before you feel the need to rever...

I do like increase spending on research How do you feel about Abbott slashing the CSIRO's funding by $100 million a year? The increased funding is for medical research. It's going to benefit big Pharmaceutical companies, some of the wealthiest companies on the planet. I dislike any cuts to research...

If I was this kid, I'd be sending my highlight video to US Colleges to play football. He's got a rare combination of size and athleticism.

Zakar

Most of it is pretty Meh. I do like increase spending on research and infrastructure. As someone that spent 6 weeks on it, the dole is far too easy. If you are doing 14 applications a month and not getting a job within six months, there is something wrong with you. If you aren't skilled enough, ente...

By your rationale, the NQ Cowboys get 300,000 turning up to each home game. I had previously believed that the treacherous 'per capita' argument was used by scoundrels from you know where.

We need routinely consistent TV coverage of the sport for it to happen. If you're not on TV, you don't exist in this country. The best thing that ever happened to UFC was The Ultimate Fighter show on Spike which helped create the explosion of the UFC in this country circa 2006. You know that propos...

That episode wasn't bad. Asha stuff was a bit damp squib. Yeah, it was clearly filler. I'm hoping that the Greyjoy Kingsmoot will feature early next season, and we get to meet Victarion (my favourite character) and Euron Greyjoy.

If they could get a local pro league 3/4 the size of Major League Soccer it would massively change the Rugby landscape. Yeah, it would. But compare the two sports and their underlying infrastructure, player base, and fan base. That's not going to happen for at least 20 years. If you are going to qu...

Pretty cool but realistically rugby has no chance of making any impact in the US market. They have the NFL, that shit is so far ahead of rugby in terms of quality of competition and entertainment it makes the All Blacks look like the black ferns or whatever they call the women's team. They don't ha...

You do get some freaks like JJ Watt who are 10-12% body fat at 135ish kgs. Mind you, he's 6"5 and much older and more developed. This kid could settle at about 120 and still be a machine. JJ Watt isn't close to that BF%. He'd be mid teens, albeit with a huge amount of muscle. Still very impressive ...

The German rugby team will be pleased. They need him for their game against the ruskies.

Here's the definitive: he was 135kgs at the start of pre-season. He's now 128kgs. He recorded 10% body fat; only the halfback, wing and reserve fullback have a lower percentage. The reserve prop who came on at the end of that game was 150 kegs at the start of the season, down to 142kgs. Jesus that ...

He's from Tonga, seems to be a fan of league and union, but interestingly a fan of both the Wallabies and ABs. Sounds like we could poach him, or maybe should poach him before league does.
