Melbourne Rebels sign World Cup coach Rod Macqueen

[TOCC]

Do you work for the Australian Census or did the ghosts of Ballymore tell you that? Born in Victoria grew up in Qld...... Jeez TOCC... he'll have to sign with the Rebels...

If he wants to go to Melbourne, thats fine by me... But there is plenty of space at the Brumbies for Lealiifano and Toomua... However players tend to like being at the Brumbies. They even stay if they have to compete for a spot against a Wallaby...

Players tend to leave teams when there is poor management and coaching at the province... Only a few ever go for cash from one AUS province to another, if they want cash they go OS... For any player with real promise the Rebels have little to offer....

So I guess having said that they'll be signing Latham and many other Reds players....

settle down sweetheart, i just know some people who went to school with him and he still has strong family connections down there, in fact he spent a bit of his christmas down there, that and the fact that he is stuck behind giteau at the ACT should be enough to sway him to move South, likewise for Lealifano.

Well I think Gits wont stay more than two/three years at the Brumbies and Lealiifano who has great promise may go first... i'd like to see him stay but they have to make the best choices in the time they have available to them... However I do think that Toomua has made deep emotional ties with the Brumbies family after the death of his flat mate mackay and is more likely to stay full term for his Australian provincial rugby... Of cause I could be wrong...

Both lads are very good inside backs...

I can see the Wallabies inside halves in 2013 being Genia and Toomua...
