That's no way to talk about Tom Hooper, Brumby Runner's love child, . Wash your mouth out. o_O

So does that man McRight should facilitate his retirement fund right now? He is probably a more strident tackler than a lot of the rumbling pack. As for cleanouts; you have to be there on the field at break down in the first place. Something which McRight does quite well.

So for McReight's paudits & criticisms of his player contributions , you have to weigh up the pros Vs the cons. For me, he is very much in the positive as opposed to say a Gleeson who can make some good breaks up the field (metres gained), but is not as influencial in defense or breakdowns.

I just don't see Samu nor Gleeson getting to the breakdowns fast enough playing at 7. They can be impact players with their size and speed therefore at 6.

Faessler appears to be very accurate with his lineout throws - an asset not shared by the other hookers.

The RWC is certainly starting with a monster match - France V's NZ immediately after the opening ceremony.

Our chances would improve if for once we got an Aussi ref and assistants who can also see the many little infringements that the Chiefs will make.

This is virtually the A1 team/squad... just a few names missing

Hmmmm....interesting. But what does it mean?

Blame The Sydney Morning Herald for that piece of inaccurate reporting.

Thought I'd get the ball rolling early this week. The Reds are on a hiding to nothing. The Chiefs will probably take the opportunity to rest key players, as could the Reds. But then again, the Reds might be thinking that the Chiefs have to lose a game at some stage, so go for it. We can only...

Really? I thought it was focusing on the referee selector for the RWC draws :rolleyes:

Is Blyth OK to return at lock after his suspension?

At their age, I'd say both White & Slipper would be looking at their options in the overseas market for a nest egg before they pull the plug on their playing days.

I 'm wondering if the Red's coaching selection panel have Joe Schmidt in their sites. It appears he will not be in any ongoing role with the AB's after the world cup. He is the coach that turned Ireland's fortunes around. Of course he may not want to leave NZ.

Depends on whether he's as committed to pilfering this season

IMHO, Hodge will be an overall backs utility player. I think they will take 3 flyhalves in the RWC squad. As the Super season goes on, this will sort itself out.

I'm thinking the Reds outside backs will burn Fiji then
