    Cheika's main problem is that he can dish it out but he can't take it!

    New Zealand v Wallabies, Eden Park, Sat 22nd October

    Not if changing his line means playing an opponent who is not carrying the ball No, they cannot. That Law only applies when two players are chasing a loose ball

    New Zealand v Wallabies, Eden Park, Sat 22nd October

    1 Attacking me does not help your case 2. I'm not a member at The Silver Fern and never likely to be. Too many numties there for my liking Nope, what matters is that he changed direction and intentionally played Savea without the ball. The mantra is "clear and obvious"". It was neither...

    New Zealand v Wallabies, Eden Park, Sat 22nd October

    Wrong on two counts 1. See my earlier post #1086. That support position was inside Henry Speight's running line not outside it. He was already inside that running line. If Haylett-Petty was trying to run around the back of Henry Speight then he's dumb. He is nowhere near fast enough to catch...

    New Zealand v Wallabies, Eden Park, Sat 22nd October

    Yes, he can advance as long as he remains close to the scrum and keeps both feet behind the ball (his offside line) until his opponent picks it up. What he can't do it go onto the slot between the opponent's flanker and No. 8. The reason for that charge-down is twofold: 1. Phipps' big, slow...

    The IRB's statement on the failed appeal. http://www.irb.com/newsmedia/mediazone/pressrelease/newsid=2068413.html#irb statement horwill appeal decision So they waste everyone's time, money and energy, with an ultimately futile appeal, and in so doing, put the Wallaby captain through a torrid...
