Matt Giteau, the hottest property in Australian rugby, will learn just how wanted he is today when representatives from all four of the country's Super 14 franchises jostle for his signature for the 2007 season, as well as outside interested parties.

The 23-year-old Wallabies utility has played all his rugby in Canberra, making his Super 12 debut for the Brumbies debut in 2003, but comes off contract at the end of this season and is being pursued by the NSW Waratahs, Queensland Reds, Western Force and several northern hemisphere clubs also in pursuit.

Giteau's agent Greg Keenan and Brumbies chief executive Andrew Fagan will meet with representatives from the all interested groups tomorrow at a specially convened meeting in Canberra.

ARU official Shaun Barry will mediate at the meeting as all lobby for the silky services of arguably the most versatile backline player in international rugby.

Giteau has played 31 Tests for Australia, is equally at home at flyhalf or inside centre, has played top-level football at halfback while new Wallabies coach John Connolly is believed to be interested in using the gifted star at outside centre in the future.

WTF??


FORMER Wallabies hooker Michael Foley was yesterday named as an assistant coach to the national team.

Foley was given the role of "re-starts" coach.

I agree and also, if there is one, all the speculators will be like "I told you so". No, you didn't. You came on here and talked crap about how we maybe would get someone famous, a household name. Big scoop there!
