The Reds have made four changes for this Friday's game against the Chiefs. Just four? Greg Holmes is on for Mathison at prop, Drew Mitchell ousts Peter Hynes (who I reckon played pretty well last Saturday), McVerry moves to lock because Heenan's suspended, and Luke Doherty will take over the #8 role. Well... we'll see what transpires Friday night, but last Saturday they looked like they could all do with a bomb under them :( absolutely hopeless!

Mat Rogers is out for the next two Waratahs games, against the Stormers and the Bulls, due to a groin strain. Ouch! Sounds kind of painful.

Jeepers! One of my most favourite Wallabies, Stephen Larkham, has had a cancerous mole removed from the back of his leg. He will apparently know the results of the biopsy by the end of the week - I'm sure we all wish him the very best.

Nathan Grey has been accused of making a racial slur against Cats' winger Chumani Booi - a claim that Grey strenuously denies. According to the story in the Australian ...

"I did hear a racially offensive comment made in a ruck that followed a tackle I made on Booi," Grey said.

That's a bit sad for Australian rugby - I would have liked to have thought we were all a bit above that sort of thing.... Whoever DID say whatever was said should be a man about it at least and own up. I can't see that happening though, who'd want to admit to that??
