I think he should have received some kind of real sanction. Not 6 months - but something more than another warning. Just "popping his head in" - fuck off - he broke the rules and he knew it. Serial boundary crosser.

Jean Deysel was sent off last year against for kicking Jordan Taufua in the face. Sent off in this game for a knee to the head of a player lying on the ground. And then I remembered he did some nasty chokehold on an Australian player some years back. One of the biggest thugs going around right...

Handre Pollard to be the difference for the Boks against the ABs this year. YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST!!!

You're not implying the Rebels should have won are you? The Hurricanes were clearly better.

I'd imagine Ardie Savea will be at 7 and Shields at 6.

Wise move. Can't fault Hansen's record.

I call that flakiness under pressure and lack of decision making ability. He was easy to unsettle because of his suspect temperament under pressure. Quade got ahead of himself following the Reds 2011 title. He thought he was the shit and got taught a severe lesson. He seems to be more mature...

It'll be interesting to see how Skelton develops vs Tuipulotu in the All Blacks. Both huge units, though Skelton is bigger, both have good ball handling skills, both not great in lineouts (though Tui' can take his own, just doesn't contest much), both don't seem great in the scrum. A lot of...

Suggestions by NZRFU that Hansen will have his contract extended beyond World Cup - before the actual result. Will depend on what Hansen wants to do. http://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/veitch-on-sport/audio/steve-tew-hansens-contract-to-be-extended/

Lilo played well, but it was marking Fekitoa - who has barely played 2nd five in his life, and a poor defender in that position. I think that should be kept in mind.

I have a few questions. Why can it not be determined who sent the 2nd message? Isn't that technology for that? Why has this not been discovered? Hold the 2nd texter to account. Why not?

A good coach gone. A little shit still in the team after repeated transgressions. Allowed to remain in the side by an "impartial" review panel. Move along, nothing to see here.

I think Ben Smith has been and will be a much better fullback than Dagg. Who would you choose assuming there are two really good wing options available? Dagg or Smith? Dagg is solid. (great kicking and positioing, safe under the high ball, but relatively poor attacking ability) I think the...

I think the only reason Dagg has been ahead of Ben Smith is because a Dagg/Smith/Savea combo was seen as better than a Smith/Savea/Jane combo. If Piutau lives up to his potential, Dagg is goneski. Nothing against the guy, and I realize you are a Saders supporter, so you might be taking it a...

Folau is a real threat and I am worried everytime he touches the ball. But it isn't hard to be better than Dagg on attack these days. And Folau better be good on attack, because his kicking game is rubbish. The ABs best 15 by a country mile is Ben Smith. Hopefully Piutau will take the right...

Well, I did learn a new word today. Cheers Pfitzy.

Pulu replaces Kerr-Barlow http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/all-blacks/10602547/Counties-halfback-Pulu-called-into-All-Blacks

Boks to beat the ABs next week. (especially if Retallick is out) I just think they will have a little more motivation. (as well as home advantage) If Vermuelen is out but Retallick isn't, then I'll pick the ABs.

Pedant alert. Qwerty, (as in the keyboard).
