He shouldn't have his contracted extended until after the world cup I don't understand the logic of extending Deans now. If he brings home the Trinations or World Cups, or at least makes a good fist of it, then yes, he deserves to be rewarded with an extension of his contract. But if not, we...

I agree, time and time again Journalists take their hyperbole to new extremes. I, for one like having the tri nations to watch, even/especially as a build up to the world cup, and I guess it is money in the coffers for the union, but I can completely understand his sentiments. Just look how...

From a selfish Australian perspective, I really wish McKensie could take over from Deans after the world cup, he really has to be the best coach in the world. Unfortunately I think you may get your wish as I think JON has already extended Deans for 2 years after the WC.

And congratulations to Genia. Class always comes through. Under intense pressure he had a horrible first half I'm sure he'd like to forget. Numerous knock-ons, poor kicking and poor decision making. But then came out in the second half and didn't put a foot wrong!

Congratulations Reds Fantastic defense won the underdogs the game. Unbelievable effort all year!

I agree. Although, I'd be pretty sure that Giteau will be starting at 12 for the WC with his only contender Barnes out and JOC (James O'Connor) replacing Mitchell on the wing. And I seriously hope that Elsom can get some game time and build some form before leading into the WC.

Bruce, Thanks for the stats. It is interesting, stats like this are often a good counterpoint to wishful thinking. As far as TC, he can play in 2 positions 12 or 13. Assuming Barnes is out and and JOC (James O'Connor) replaces Mitchell on the wing, Giteau should be easily the first choice 12. Behind him I...

I'm pretty sure I've never seen the words Fox and facts used in the same sentence before. Although, I will admit I'd never seen the words Tom Carter and Wallabies used before tonight either.

I haven't seen Phillips play for a year or so now, but my impression of him is that he is a phenomenal player and poor scrum half. His service is extremely slow. I was a bit surprised he was selected for the Lions, to my mind Wales should have kept Peel as their scrum half, he looked very good...

Fu kit! This schoolboy conference has done it in for the reds!

I remember Dunning being quite round. Now he is looking quite square. Each leg was exactly half the width of his waist. Well done. Still, what was that crap underneath his chin?

I agree. I'm watching force vs reds at the moment, and it's quite amazing how much better the guy i would have previously called a journeyman, Cummins, looks at the moment than Turner. A couple of years ago Turner looked like a certain Wallaby mainstay up-and-comer. Today not at all...

He gave a good one to AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) last weekend...

PoCheat. Aussie Hero!

Last year I just thought he was a bogan who needed a good haircut. This year, I still think he's a bogan that needs a good haircut. But the Honey Badger has been playing and looking very good.

Btw: that was an iPhone auto correction, but I liked it and went with it anyway...

Higgs bum!

What happened to this easy schoolboy conference assisting the top aussie team (ie Reds) go through on top.? Instead, they can beat the Crusaders, Bulls, Blues and Stormers, but are now struggling not to lose a second time to a lowly Australian bottom-feeder.

I thought that should have been called also. AR fail shock !

I'm so glad Moore is in such fine form. I really think TPN is the world's premier hooker at the moment. The drive he puts in the scrum is the difference between whether the Waratahs can dominate or not. His driving tackles seem to turn over near as many balls as Pocock, and his driving runs and...
