Tahs survive sailing mishap By Rupert Guinness January 17, 2005 THE NSW Waratahs first survived a rugged tour of Argentina then the rigours of an Army boot camp at Holsworthy in a bid to prepare for the upcoming Super 12 season. While those experiences were about character building for the tough times to come, nothing could have prepared them for a supposedly quiet jaunt of twilight sailing last Wednesday. Coach Ewen McKenzie and his forwards are still counting their lucky stars after avoiding injury when the 300kg carbon fibre mast of Sydney to Hobart maxi Broomstick suddenly broke above them. "I should feel lucky. It fell about a metre from me," said the former Wallaby prop. The outing, where the forwards raced the backs, who were on yacht Seriously Ten, was to have been a friendly way of testing the Waratahs players when outside their comfort zones. But after seeing - and hearing - the rigging crack and collapse, the NSW forwards must have thought McKenzie's idea had reached a questionable level of sanity. Quickest to act was new Eastwood prop Benn Robinson - although only to catch the drama on film, as seen on this page - which McKenzie could only too easily recall. "Suddenly we heard a snap and someone yell: 'watch out'. But where do you go? It's hard to run when the boat pitches," he said. "All you can do is wait and hope nothing lands on you. I think it probably helped us that we didn't know what was going on." Flankers Phil Waugh and Rocky Elsom hadn't a clue. They were in the midst of their own strength test on the grinders when the drama happened just off Taronga Zoo. "Rocky and I were pumping it big on the grinders," said Waugh. "We heard this huge crack and it suddenly got easier. "Not too many yachts would have had it happen to them on Sydney Harbour. " We don't know a lot about sailing, but from what we were told, it was pretty dangerous." McKenzie - relieved no one was injured - happily tried to play the drama down to The Daily Telegraph, calling it "a day with a little twist at the end". But it was a twist not half as big as the one they met arriving back at the CYCA at Rushcutters Bay - even worse, that it was courtesy of the backslapping backs. "All the best food and drinks were gone," said McKenzie. "They were lean pickings." The Daily Telegraph Burke inspires Euro win From correspondents in Paris January 17, 2005 AUSTRALIAN fullback Burke made a dramatic return from injury overnight to lead Newcastle to a 25-17 European Cup win over Newport-Gwent and a place in the quarter-finals. The defeat for the Dragons also means that none of the four Welsh teams in the competition made it through to the last eight. Burke, who only played after passing a late fitness test on his injured knee, scored the match-winning try and landed two penalties and two conversions to wrap up victory. Newport had gone into the match with hopes of reaching the last eight and a win over Newcastle would have put them through as Edinburgh surprisingly beat Perpignan 40-17. But Newcastle, who also scored tries through Tom May and Colin Charvis, wrapped up Pool 5 and made the quarter-finals in April, where they will likely be boosted by the return of Jonny Wilkinson. "The main thing was that when we got our chances we took them, and we scored three outstanding tries," said Newcastle director of rugby Rob Andrew. "With what was at stake today, it was just about winning, no matter how we got there." French champions Stade Francais clinched a quarter-final spot when they sent Gloucester spinning to their first European Cup home defeat with a resounding 27-0 win. Stade, runners-up in 2001, scored all of their points in the first-half, with winger Christophe Dominici, centre Stephane Glas and flanker Mauro Bergamasco all scoring tries, while fly-half David Skrela kicked two penalties and three conversions. Stade will now face Newcastle in Paris in their quarter-final, while top seeds Leinster take on Leicester, Toulouse meet Northampton and Munster travel to Biarritz. Defending champions Wasps crashed out on Saturday when they lost 18-15 at Biarritz, but fellow English giants and former winners Leicester kept their quarter-final hopes alive with a 62-10 mauling of Italians Calvisano. Biarritz's win guaranteed the French side top place in Pool 1 and a quarter-final place, while the Tigers went through as one of the two best runners-up. "I dont know if it's the end of an era for Wasps," said the English side's coach Warren Gatland. "We're very disappointed we're not through to the next stage. We've always said it was a very tough group, Biarritz won it and good luck to them." Munster made sure of their place in the last eight with a 18-10 win over Harlequins at Twickenham to finish top of Pool 4. Wasps knew they needed to win and score four tries in France to be sure of progressing from Pool 1, but they could not break down a resilient Biarritz side despite battling to 8-8 at the break. Ayoola Erinle scored a confidence-boosting ninth-minute try early in the first half, but tries from Imanol Harinordoquy (12 mins) and Jimmy Marlu (50) gave the French the advantage. Prop Tim Payne gave Wasps hope with a try three minutes from time, but Dimitri Yachvili's earlier accuracy with his kicking, especially a crucial drop goal in the 68th minute, gave the French the edge. Worse was to come for Wasps when England centre Stuart Abbott suffered a broken leg. The World Cup winning back, who was forced to sit out England's northern autumn Tests with a shoulder problem, picked up the injury in the first half. Leicester ran in 10 tries in Italy. Geordan Murphy, Alesana Tuilagi, Andy Goode and George Chuter all claimed two, while Julian White and Harry Ellis crossed for one apiece to complete the rout. Former double champions Toulouse went through on Friday with a 53-36 win over Llanelli running in eight tries as they topped Pool 3. Northampton overcame a halftime deficit to beat Glasgow 33-23 and also make the last eight as one of two best runners-up. In Pool 2, Leinster, who had already qualified, thrashed Italians Treviso 57-17 to confirm their top spot status and Bath won 23-17 at Bourgoin.

League v Union charity game By Adam Hawse January 16, 2005 TALKS have begun to bring the cream of the NRL and Super 12 together in a cross-code showdown to raise funds for the victims of Asia's devastating tsunamis. The Sunday Telegraph has learned of moves in the past few days to have composite league and union teams play off at Telstra Stadium, following the enormous success of cricket's charity game in Melbourne. The league team would comprise a representative from each NRL club, while the rugby team would be made up of players from each of the Super 12 teams. Wallaby winger Lote Tuqiri and Kangaroos utility Craig Wing have already thrown their support behind the idea of a hybrid game which could pit the likes of league champion Andrew Johns against Wallaby stars Wendell Sailor and Matt Giteau. The match would be played in mid to late February with a sell-out crowd of 80,000 a formality. "I'd put my hand up for it," Tuqiri said last night. "There have been a heap of things done to support the tsunami victims and I'd certainly get behind this. "It sounds like it would be fun and it would be interesting to see how a few of the league blokes would go if there are lineouts." Moves for the game began after the overwhelming success of cricket's Rest of the World versus Asia match at the MCG last Monday, which raised more than $14m in tsunami relief funds. Those involved have been asked not to speak publicly about the match as it is only in the embryonic stage. A number of plans on how the game would be played are up for discussion. For clubs unwilling to expose their players to the risk of injury on the eve of a new season, they would be allowed to nominate a recently retired player, such as Gorden Tallis or Brad Fittler. A source said last night that former Wallaby captain John Eales would be approached to fill rugby's coach/manager role, as Steve Waugh did for the Rest of the World team. It is believed Telstra Stadium management is behind the idea, but no one was willing to comment yesterday. NRL chief executive David Gallop was positive about any attempts to raise further aid for victims, but had not been presented with a formal proposal. "I heard speculation about it on Friday," Gallop said. "It would obviously be for a great cause, but we haven't received a proposal about it at this stage. "We've been involved in some significant fund-raising efforts over the last couple of weeks. The league contributed $100,000 at the MCG on Monday and our clubs and players have made separate contributions in excess of $200,000. "We'd need to consult a number of parties before taking it further." Wing, who had his first training session of the year with the Sydney Roosters last Friday, said the risk of injury would be a concern to clubs. "But the whole concept sounds fun, especially for a guy like me who has played rugby union," Wing said. The game would not be be run like the match between English champions Wigan (league) and Bath (union) in the mid-1990s, which had one half played under league rules and the other under rugby rules, although union's intense scrummaging banned.

WARNING MAY OFFEND SOME HOW TO LOSE FRIENDS BLONDE PRINTING WORD DOCUMENT

meh. i'll let u get away with that 1 cos half the brumbies r from nsw. lol the other half of the wallabies is mainly waratahs. the 2005 squad 42-man Australian Rugby Squad announced for 2005 January 11, 2005 - 11:34am Story by: ARU [/b]:PhotoPop("] Qantas Wallabies Coach Eddie Jones With the ACT Brumbies, NSW Waratahs and Queensland Reds all back in training for the upcoming Tooheys New Super 12 season, Qantas Wallabies Coach Eddie Jones has today announced a 42-man Australian Rugby Squad for 2005. The Australian Rugby Squad 2005 (ARS 2005) is a new initiative working with all three Super 12 teams to monitor the performance of players at both a state and national level throughout the year. Established to formalize and unify previous programs, Wallaby Coach Eddie Jones says the co-operation of the three Super 12 teams has been important in setting up the ARS 2005. "We got together with the coaching staff of the three teams last year and agreed on this model to best monitor and prepare our players," said Jones. "Players named in the ARS will train and play with their Super 12 teams from January to May, however all players will be on yearly strength and conditioning programs." "This will enable players, whether they are with their Super 12 teams or the Wallabies, to keep on improving." "The ARS will unify some of the processes that we've had in place in the past, and in turn become an important part of our early preparations for the 2005 Test season." With 42 players named in the ARS 2005, Jones says the squad has a strong mix of talented players who have already performed at Test and Australia A level, and some new faces who have the potential to do so. "We've selected a good group of players to give us depth in all positions, but that doesn't mean someone from outside the ARS won't be considered for Wallaby selection," said Jones. "The Super 12 is always an important form indicator for Test selection and we'll once again keep a close eye on all the Australian players throughout the competition." ARU General Manager of High Performance, Brett Robinson says the development and structure of the program has received full support from all three state unions. "There will be a number of benefits to both the Wallabies and the three Australian Super 12 teams from the establishment of the ARS in 2005," said Robinson. "To have the full backing of the states on this initiative is really important. It's a program that we've worked hard to formalize and something that we are looking forward to implementing."
