That's really harsh. It's good that cracking down on head contact is happening, but that's a brutal call :(

I don't think I ever blamed it on luck, more a one dimensional, U12's level gameplan that Eddie Jones figured out 4 minutes into their strategy review and just rolled out each time. Won several hundred $ on the quarter final by predicting the scoreline - I just averaged the scorelines out from...

Yeah loved that bit - bit of reading between the lines but young often men make stupid decisions if they're not focused/have no sense of responsibilty. Sounded a lot like he's found both again, and his form seems to mirror that.

Going out on a limb and guessing he meant - 12. Paisami (if the whiplash didn't sever the C3-C4 parts of his spine) 13. Perese I'm good with that - Paisami is 12 though. He's our Nonu, we just need to find a Smith to complement him.

That bugler needs to pick his beat/cadence. Impressed he somehow squeezed an 'a' out of a bugle though, demonstrates some powerful embouchure and breath control, even if his jazz instincts took over for a second. I shouldn't judge, i've done a far worse job once :(

Muahahaha......awesome! That whole game changed with TK cutting Paisami into 5 pieces.

I've been hit once so hard the whiplash actually gave me concussion, I think that's what just happened to Paisami.

Wow......the K train with a point to prove. Ouch...............

At this point I really cant see why To'omua is getting a shot? Not sure what the problem is, he's still solid on defence but when the ball is in his hands... i dont think even his teammates have any clue where it's going. That might give us a fluke try because the opposition have no idea either...

Is there some commercial rate that Stan charges, like Fox did, that costs more than $20 a month? If not, how hard could it be to subscribe, and cast from a laptop to any of the TV's in the bar?

I think we can agree its been a resounding success so far with Stan - i've been blown away by their coverage and the available viewing content they've secured so far. The one big hole in the shift from Faux though, is rugby missing from TV screens in pubs and bars across the country. What's...

The scrum is a concern, as is closing out games, doesn't bode well for the final. I do wonder though, why the fuck does anyone run anywhere near Valetini without making it really obvious you passed it 2+ phases ago?

I can take (I welcome them, that's how progress is made) well argued retorts any day of the week, but you were exceptionally lazy with that critique, and resorting to provincial bias is not a strong foundation for Tahs fans to be building on right now. :)

That was aimed at Whaaambers, not you. MK is the first outside back picked in my team.

Nah nah nah, Rennie has a broader perspective than the average Ponies fan. Ramm and Maddocks are the obvious options. (Sorry to those two, they're legit great players but couldn't remember any other outside backs at the Tahs to use as bait)

I'm a little torn atm - on one hand i want established centre pairings at Super Rugby level to then kick on to test, much like Nonu and Smith did for so long. Eg Simone/Ikitau and Paisami/Petaia. On the other hand, we have 3 shit hot options who all seem to want to play 13, which is also not bad as...

I'd not have him in my test squad atm. His whole vibe is of someone who just isn't in the zone. All the talent, but if his mind isn't on the job, that means nothing.

FWIW - i'd have paid Hegarty's try, every day of the week. Smashing someone in the tackle and dislodging the ball, is just a good tackle. I'd be fuming if I were a Reds fan, that should have been a try.

TBF, he seems to me like one of those blokes that is the glue in the side. Doesn't do too much that makes the highlight reels, but what he does allows everyone else around him to shine. For me, i rate that. He legit struggled for a year or two to feel confident at Super Rugby level, but was given the...

Rennie seems to think he's worth selecting in the squad, two seasons in a row, and he's been a stalwart of the Brumbies backline. He's big, fast, has a great pass of both hands, kicks very well and rarely misses a tackle. He took a few seasons to get up to speed at Super Rugby level but now looks...
