Reds to appoint Jones

The Queensland Reds are apparently expected to announce today that Eddie Jones is their new coach. I suppose that the Reds can't perform any 'worse' under Jones than they have been.... maybe I'll have myself convinced it's a good move by the time he takes over the whistle.

On a more light hearted note, Wendell Sailor has said that even his own family are finding it hard to picture him as a Waratah. This report on Foxsports has Ewen McKenzie saying that he might give Sailor more of a 'roaming' position as opposed to winger. Good move by the Tah's coach - we've all seen Sailor roam over the paddock.... :) In all seriousness though, since he often is to be found in the centres, that would probably be a good position for him to play - he's certainly strong enough to play there.

Crusaders' coach Robbie Deans has said that he won't be putting his hand up to take over as Wallaby Coach. Wonder if he has a clone of himself some place that we could have?

Jeepers - Super 14 trials kick off in 10 days - I'll get the Tipping Comp organised within the next couple of days so make sure you signup to play. Prizes as yet are to be finalised, but there's likely to be some rugby gear, and maybe even some things to keep the Kiwis happy - Hint 'Who's Waltzing Now'.
