    Does anyone know how to start a community team?

    The Australian Sports Commission put this together for starting a club; it might be a bit more in-depth than you need, but it could help you: http://www.ausport.gov.au/supporting/clubs/resource_library/starting_a_club This is my local club's code of conduct; they also have some of their other...

    Tour de France 2013

    This will almost certainly be another 1-2 for Sky. 1st and one other step on the podium, anyway. Nobody looks even close to Froome, except Porte. Contador would've lost even more time if Kreuzinger didn't wait for him. Valverde and Quintana could hang around for a while, but it's going to take...

    Super Rugby: Waratahs - Brumbies in Sydney (7/7/2012)

    Went to this game. Rather glad I didn't pay for the tickets, because it was far from being a spectacle. But the Brumbies won, so all's well that ends well. They have to abandon this whole playing games at the Olympic stadium thing, too. 22,000 last night. That's only a half-full SFS (Allianz...

    RWC 2015 Qualifiying

    A post on the official Rugby World Cup Facebook page put the numbers at 35,000. I was surprised, too.

    Who decided the Maroons should be called Cane Toads

    Well, the Eels are called the Eels because Parramatta means "place where the eels lie" in the local Aboriginal language. The Dragons are the Dragons because of the legend of St. George the Dragonslayer - the team was known as the Dragon Slayers early on. There are some pretty weak nicknames out...

    WHY DON'T WE PACFIC ISLANDERS have our own trinations....

    It does if you skip town without paying your bills first!

    Let the people select the players

    That would be a great thing, though. Who wouldn't want to see Jedward crippled in a perfectly legal setting?

    Super 15: Waratahs - Lions in Sydney (21-05-2011)

    Got two free tickets in the members' area for this game. Pretty happy with that, especially since I don't have the money to go to games. Hopefully the fans' rant session during the week will see a little more entertaining rugby by the Tahs, although not if it's at the expense of a result...

    Crowd Atmosphere.

    My mate at uni went to Scots. We used the Cranbrook v Scots game as an example of how spectator violence can occur at any level of sport. Apparently it gets pretty crazy there. I've never been, though.

    Super Rugby could expand into USA or Asia

    Tentative planning is currently occurring for a (semi-) professional league in the US, hopefully beginning in 2013. I first heard about it last November when talking with a bloke involved at a university function, but I've been out of the loop a bit recently. As far as Super Rugby goes, I think...

    Ben Cohen announces retirement

    Haven't had the chance to watch him in recent seasons, but he was always a favourite of mine back when I had the pleasure to watch him. Pretty sound reason to retire, too. Good luck to him.

    NHL Thread

    Would much rather it have been Phoenix than Atlanta moving to Winnipeg, though. Especially considering that Phoenix moved from Winnipeg. Great to see Detroit lose today. Very happy with that. Not really fussed with who wins out of the remaining teams, I just didn't want Detroit there.

    Los Pampas XV should be fast-tracked into Super Rugby. 2012 could happen.

    Be skeptical all you want, but I do work there one day a week assisting the operations manager. Don't really do anything too special; it's mostly admin stuff. It's part of my professional experience for uni.

    Los Pampas XV should be fast-tracked into Super Rugby. 2012 could happen.

    I work at SANZAR and am helping with the draw; teams are missing others in other years, just the same as this year. It's the June internationals that are scrapped in World Cup years.

    Not according to the official tournament manual.

    Los Pampas XV should be fast-tracked into Super Rugby. 2012 could happen.

    Part of Argentina joining the Tri-Nations was investigation into whether Argentinian players would be likely to play for Super Rugby teams. Right now the emphasis isn't on an Argentinian team playing Super Rugby, but Argentinian players playing for Super Rugby teams is part of the agenda.

    Rugby World Cup - what results would you like to see?

    My mother is a serious Anglophile (her mother was English), and it rubbed off on me a bit/lot.

    Rugby World Cup 2011 Official Game

    Me neither; anything that combines Fonejacker and Jessica Alba is more than fine by me!

    Rugby World Cup - what results would you like to see?

    Canada to finish no worse than 3rd in the group stage would make me pretty happy. Scotland and Argentina to qualify from Group B, also. Nothing really against the English, surprising as it may sound, but Scotland are my 2nd team and I want Argentina to go far due to their addition to the Tri...
