I agree that it was a deliberate block, Higginbum cut across to stop/slow Schmoo down. It happens all the time. The injury is a great shame, for Schmoo and the Wallabies and Tahs but I really don't think there was any intention to injure and not a chance he could get any suspension.

The Highlanders played fantastic. Whether the Crusaders rested too many players or what, they didn't deserve to win. Highlanders just played a better game. Very sloppy towards the end

I hope he cuts it like Sideshow Bob or something, make it a protracted haircut over about 3 weeks. It's big enough to have some fun with

I know what you mean. I also tossed up splashing out for Ranger but decided not to. Bad choice

Trades made: JC JvR, Big Mac (Kepu) Mealamu (Ged) Sharpie, Sykes (Steenkamp) Whiteley, Vito, Lam (Thomson) Ellis (Pretorius) Ice [c], Doppies, Beale (Gits) Fruean, Harris, Payne (SBW) I tried not to analyse match ups and so on this week, we'll see if that's a help or hindrance

I thought Vuna said he was hoping to one day play for the Wallabies when he changed codes. Something about his dad making him watch the AB's as a kid and now he was in rugby, would put his hat in the ring for a gold jersey. Maybe he has changed his mind, gets the opportunity to play in the RWC...

I thought Aust teams could only get 1 foreigner not able to qualify for the Wallabies. Has this changed or just left out?

I have no knowledge of the French language, but I have found through searches over the years of French rugby, that bagarre, means brawl or fight.The there are so many videos out there of this sort of stuff in French rugby, it's crazy

Haven't sorted out my trades yet. I'm looking OK so far. I was going to bring in BdP but it will have to wait another week. Kepu, JC JvR, (Mackintosh) Robinson (Flynn) Sharpe, Sykes (Steenkamp) Lam, Vito, Whiteley (Thomson) Phipps (Pretorius) Toeava, Beale, Doppie (Gits) Fruean, Payne, Treeby...

Depends who the video is of. If i get some space, you won't have to slow it down

Yeah, seemed a bit strange to me too. Mind you, Stanley seems to be pretty solid from what I've seen, not much of a play maker but quite a good centre. Also noted Ali Williams back this week.

BLUES: 1.Tony Woodcock, 2.Keven Mealamu [c], 3.John Afoa, 4.Anthony Boric, 5.Ali Williams, 6.Jerome Kaino, 7.Luke Braid, 8.Peter Saili, 9.Alby Mathewson, 10.Stephen Brett, 11.Rene Ranger, 12.Benson Stanley, 13.Jared Payne, 14.Joe Rokocoko, 15.Isaia Toeava. Res: 16.Tom McCartney, 17.Tevita...

Not a great week for me, 441, but is still my highest of the season. Sitting right on 100th. As usual, hindsight tells me how many points I had on the bench, JC JvR on the bench, Jack Lam on the bench and Gilbert on the bench. Oh well, only have 3 out this week . 1 from each tem, Gits, Pretorius...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxTzoDmTtNY Maybe he'll bring this one out against the Tahs

I actually think he is getting better, as he gets used to playing SH footy again. I think he is going to be DC's back up in the RWC

Absolutely. I would rather have some one that is more effective at what they do, than have someone that does alot, but gets f**k all result for their work. Obviously there are caveats with that, but players, especially forwards, IMO, need to be doing their job effectively for the team to get...

Very well said

SMH is interested, I hope Matt Burke is not getting involved, he hasn't played touch footy at this level before, he's not qualified to have an opinion.:lmao:

The only good thing to come out of that game for the Tahs, was that I had the first points to be a Blues try in a multi. Crusaders to score first with a try, into Highlanders/Highlanders half time/full time win, into Blues first try. $145 for $5 outlay. Thanks Tahs

I would say start at the top and go from there. Despite losing Beale and a couple others, Tahs still have a solid player base, they need a good coach.
