    Refereeing decisions

    Whenever I've refereed a game at training (or in the one match I did) the laws go out the window and I end up calling "nothing there, play on". Players spend more time complaining about my lack of whistle blowing than actually playing rugby. We're very lucky to have those people prepared to be...

    Waratahs 2013

    Qwerty - where did you get those stats? My article tomorrow looks at the offloading element of Tahs game - Tahs definitely on top for offloads across all stats sites but am seeing different numbers to quote.

    Law question - TPN's tackling technique

    No mate, first point of contact with TPN's two grass cutter tackles v the Rebels were below the knee.

    Rebels v Reds RD 4 2013

    Meehan is injured anyway - Nigel started and Sam Grasso was called on to the bench for QLD A v Tonga on Saturday

    Reds vs Hurricanes RD3

    The average number of penalties per match in Super Rugby this year has been 22. In this match there were 24 - this match wasn't really out of the ordinary. The teams have been told how the laws will be interpreted this season and the penalties issued by Steve Walsh were in accordance with those...

    Law question - TPN's tackling technique

    It was Quirk that got penalised for the high tackle with no arms whilst Saia went low - Slipper clarified at the press conference.

    That makes more sense.

    Reds vs Hurricanes RD3

    Muttonbird, you are getting far too close to the line - none of us can know what the referee thought at the time. We are not into referee bashing for the sake of it. Be constructive or you will have a rest.

    Is that right - has Freney moved as well?

    The dying - perhaps death - of Rugby in Australia.

    Lack of marketing would lead to a crowd of... 11,000. The rain may have been a factor but it rained more in Brisbane on Friday and the game in Brisbane was delayed until a start time of 8.25pm local time to accommodate the Tahs - still produced a crowd of over 30,000. Even in their darkest...

    That looks like a very dangerous backline. We can only hope.

    Law question - TPN's tackling technique

    That's a very interesting point - 14.1(d) says "A player on the ground must not tackle or attempt to tackle an opponent." One knee on the ground constitutes being on the ground when in a tackle or ruck situation. How often does he slide in on his knees though? Think most of the time he just...

    Reds 2013

    Link said in the press conference last night that Digby was a tactical substitution. Nigel Genia starting at #9 today in the QLD A team with Ben Meehan on the bench. Two weeks ago Meehan started with Genia on the bench so it's likely to be one of those two. No doubt Link will be watching that...

    Reds v Waratahs, rd2 SR2013

    No man shame intended - after all your argument was based on stats that you would expect to be reliable.

    Reds v Waratahs, rd2 SR2013

    I didn't say he was responsible for losing the lineout Qwerty, I said it was a poor throw from TPN. The lineout you refer to was called to Dennis and even if he had been lifted the throw was well short of the mark. It was a throw/jump so TPN had to throw the ball before Dennis jumped - all he...

    Reds v Waratahs, rd2 SR2013

    Here you go Cyclo - TPN only threw well at 40% of lineouts. Tahs lost 3 lineouts (not 1 as the stats claim) and all involved poor throws from TPN http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/brumbies-are-aussie-lineout-kings/

    Tilse over Alexander? Can't see that. White definitely over the others - he went quite well.

    Lions Tour 2013

    We'll have to have two halfbacks in the 25, particularly with Genia coming back from injury. Will need another prop in the 25. Four required on match day. Therefore would have to drop two other backs out. Reckon that would be McCabe (only given he's not going to play a lot of rugby before...

    Lions Tour 2013

    Yes, playing with 23 in the test matches. You've forgotten Alexander - he'll definitely be in the 25. Think JOC (James O'Connor) will be in the 25, no matter which spot - his goal kicking alone will be vital. Will need some coverage for Palu, which I think would be Higgers, which would mean needing...
