Really? I read a lot of rugby content but this is the first I've ever heard about it. Do you have anything you can direct me for further info?

This is the comment I agree most with. Rennie is fine. I don't think he's a mastermind but I also think he's performing adequately with the cattle at his disposal. This team get themselves into games, they are tactically sound, have plenty of ticker, don't get blown out. It's just that we...

And adapting to the professional game a lot faster than every other nation.

I agree but for me the obvious moment was when Penny Wong came on for Jock Campbell in the 68th minute.

Yet another example of the gross anti-NSW bias that pervades this site.

Test for consistency: 2011 Super Rugby Champions

And how are new members supposed to weigh in on our frequent discussions about Jason Jones-Hughes and Sam Scott-Young?

TPN? AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)? AWH? SNK?

Side note - I've been away from the forum for a bit, what's with the autocorrect on JOC (James O'Connor)? Is there something I missed?

There it is, my favourite chestnut. You can set your watch to it, after the first game of the season, regardless of result....... The ABs would have beaten us by 50! Well done Phil, you win this year's award. Can't wait to do it all again at the same time next year. And the year after that...

I'd be surprised if we lost both games by 30. I feel unusually comfortable with our team at the moment. It's settled. Good mix of youth and experience. Depth in key spots. We might not sweep all before us but maybe our floor is higher than it used to be? Our defence is solid, we can hang in...

The Link vs Beale thing is a hard hypothetical, mainly because we still don't know what was really happening behind the scenes. Which is funny these days when dirty laundry is aired minutes after a coach/player leaving the room. Was the Beale thing indicative of broader problems in the dressing...

Not sure our bid 'hangs in the balance' considering we are pretty much running unopposed. Sure there are a few things that still need to fall into place, but with an election campaign just around the corner I'd say this is all just a sly attempt by RA to pressure the feds and Labor into making...

I'll put good money on: QF: Suncorp x2 (including Wallaby QF), SFS, Perth SF: Homebush, MCG Final: Homebush NSW Government will stump up the most cash and thus be given the games.

It's a fair point, but life for a local sports fan is still better than it used to be. Foxtel with HD and sports was at least $70 bucks a month (from memory), and you had to go through all the rigmarole of installation, satellites etc. For that you got pretty much everything, but if it wasn't...

I was going to say the same thing. But you can't suggest there's been undeserving winners in the past.

Love it. The answer to shithousery by attacking teams should always be even greater shithousery by defending teams.

No, South Africa was ranked the first by an assessment panel but not given preferred status. What this means is that we will begin talking to World Rugby directly about specifics of hosting the tournament. We've got it barring an unforeseen disaster.

What an error by Latu. Also completely anonymous on that play was Valetini, who was nowhere to be seen in the maul or in cover defence. No amount of justification will alter that, either.

It's my favourite type of criticism on here. Beale in the final moments drove me insane. If I were him, after catching the kick-off and making the linebreak, instead of kicking I'd step on the gas, burn off the covering defenders and dot it down in the corner. Clearly that didn't cross his...
