Patricio Noriega has decided to retire from rugby. The Wallabies will miss the big prop who is one tough cookie on the field. Noriega, who played for the Brumbies and also the Waratahs has had a distinguished rugby career. Good luck to him on his future endeavours!

The poor old Waratahs aren't having much luck - Phil Waugh has a pinched nerve in his shoulder so he's out for this weekend's clash against the Blues. Burke comes back off the bench to play at outside centre, and Berne will be the flyhalf. Good thing the Blues have their own problems at the moment :/

That's about it for now!
