Big loss is Richard Kahui who would have been great at 12 with Conrad at 13. Would love to see Rene Ranger given time off the bench at least (or even starting on the wing with Savea). He has been brilliant this year

I thought Conrad Smith was taking this series off?

Wow the front row will get a lesson, I definatly thought at least one of Palmer, Holmes and Daley should of been selected. At least the backrow will be strong (Davidson, Robinson, Buttler).

Schalk Brits wasn't a fan

Agree with (e) whole-heartedly.

Easts were never troubled by Wests yesterday. They were very dominant in the first half with Toua and Brandon at their freakish best, the bonus point was secured early. The second half was very dour, lots of scrum resets and handling errors. A few sin-binnings did not help the match, although...

I don't mind the look of that team to be honest, changes had to be made. Hanson should always be starting. period. Eddie Quirk has a lot more worth than Samo currently, back after his deserved rest. Robbo starting must be a rotation selection, although I actually think it came at the right time...

Agree 100% with this statement. Brothers were better, match was crap, result was fair.

When Genia was injured a lot of the reports from Europe was that Fotualii was the best halfback in the world. He might have a bit of the Parisse-Syndrome, in that if he played for one of the top 5 nations in the world then he was would be held in a higher regard than he is.

Sam Denny? He looks the goods for Souths. We should have snapped up Ruan Smith (or even JP Smith) when we had them playing for GPS. Would Pettowa Parraka be one who is being looked at? Kirwan Sanday is someone I'd definatly be pushing for, been one of the best tightheads in the competition this...

I'm going to assume all the Super Rugby contracted players will pla this match, unless there is no point in them being removed from their Super Rugby teams just for a training camp. 1- Nic Henderson 2- Josh Mann-Rae 3- Dan Palmer 4- Blake Enever 5- Sam Carter 6- Jarrad Buttler 7- Beau Robinson...

I only saw the first half of the Reds match, but I thought Radike was relatively ineffective as well. Doesn't really break past a jog most of the time as well.

I thought they both were fairly average to be honest. But I'd give it to Bond on points decision, kept White quite and made a few decent runs. I also thought Toua tried to over play his hand slightly, but did think he made some good plays. Brandon was good as always. Both him and Murphy had...

Going from what I've seen from about U14's to Premier in the past few years, I find that this type of play is definatly not something the club tries to stamp out. It can get disgraceful at times.

My mistake, thats what happens when you leave your glasses in the car

Uuhhhh that was a yellow card for repeated infringements....... Brothers were the better team, and to be honest Easts were lucky to finish that close to them. The ref played a big hand in that though. His breakdown interpretations ruined the match I thought, Brothers constantly slowed down...

I wouldn't call that their B team....however this season they have played like a B grade team.

Not a fan of Samo starting. By all reports he hasn't been that great for GPS. Quirk & Buttler have both looked good, and despite how it might fit Link's game plan, I don't think it was the right selection. Also Lucas should have started over Lance.
