Horne had a bad game. I would like a Taps/Horne centre pairing too, but unlike others I would prefer they played in their more natural positions with Taps at 12 and Horne at 13.

Officially I am accredited as media. I otherwise speak to the boys regularly organising podcasts and other bits and pieces and occasionally socially.

Mate, tough question. I dropped the Tahs logo and replaced it with none early last year when Reg dropped out and I took over the Reds. But, I tried to explain it to a friend the other day, I watched the game on the weekend and was both annoyed and elated at the last try. I am pretty much as...

The coaching team, at least in my discussions, don't consider Mozz as a 13. The other problems there is that while Jono played 15 admirably last year that was more to defend in the line while Quade played fullback in defence, he is a midfielder by trade. By playing Mozz at 13 and Jono at 15...

Interestingly Taps and Jono player in the midfield together in the TSS championship team in 2007. Their coach was Matt Taylor. Their fullback was Luke Morahan. In their forward pack was James Slipper and Rob Simmons.

Few big Changes, Ant out due to hamstring tightness, precautionary. Higgers out due to a tight glute, precautionary. A decsicion on the no. 16 will be made after training this morning, both will run, whoever pulls up best gets the game. Doubt whoever it is will be used unless absolutely necessary.

Talked to him the other day, he won't rush, says it is frustrating because it feels fine but he even cited Drew's RWC injury as a reason not to rush. Tapatalked from my phone

I would expect to see Albert start. Saia will likely be on the bench, he was running at training yesterday, did some one on one then joined the main group. This will mean he has trained early enough to be selected (No training by Monday of game week = no selection at the Reds)

I didn't say it makes a shit game, but you said you couldn't see what was wrong with penalty goals. I said: And I stand by it.

I'll tell you what is wrong with it, every penalty kick taken at goal is the result of a law being broken that has prevented the attacking team from actually attacking. Given the choice I would prefer to see the attacking team continue to attack.

I will take a look, I haven't seen (noticed) it.

Was it defensive or attacking lineouts? Assuming attacking.

It was built by the Dunedin council. Not sure if the ORFU had a stake but I don't think so.

0 from 1, great start to the season... Tapatalked from my Tablet

Tahs gamesmanship. They could have let him be there like he was all last year, but they are trying everything to put the Reds off their game. I applaud the attention to detail.

It sounds like it is just a write up of a speaking gig he did. They say all kinds of stuff, just working the crowd. I would say it would have gone down well in a dingy rugby club with some old boys half cut. Probably a bit of truth about it too.
