Barnes to fullback McCabe to 12, can't say I hate it. Good to see Douglas get the gig, not sure how he will go though. Long-term he's an equal prospect as Simmons can be (still young), but I would of definatly wanted Simmo starting, his line-out work could of been valuable against the likes of...

You have to be kiding me. He attempted a HEADBUTT. A freaking HEADBUTT. That's straight up foul play, somewhere in between facial stomping and eye gouging. Or did years of watching Bakkies play make it seem okay to you guys? C'mon two weeks is fair for that. Although he has some work to do if...

Highlanders have copius amounts of depth out wide. But I agree Poki hasn't lived up to his potential, I thought he could of been close to an All Black if he displayed it.

Not that I saw it, but I doubt both players had the same level of involvement in the tackle. Spear tackles are a straight Red, and the Brothers #7 was the main offender in the tackle. I don't think University, the ref, or Brothers cared about making the game interesting, they couldn't of cared...

I'm worried as well FP. Up front we are going to get demolished. If a team can put that much pressure on the All Blacks up front, what chance do we have. I really liked the Argies defensive style, in sort of an arrow formation but with excellent slide and cover. I think Steve Hansen said the...

Great first post Purce, keep them coming. Going to be hard for Brothers to turn it around against Sunnybank. They seem to have fallen away since the Murphy Brothers got injured. I didn't see the games but score-line suggest GPS did very well.

O'Connor is a very good kicker, Beale has shown he is solid aswell, so I don't think Barnes is in the Morne Steyn category (that being, he's in the team for his GK).

So Woodcock and maybe Ben Franks, are the Highlanders trying to tell Mackintosh his time is done? If they want a seven go for Sam Cane, because the Cheifs seem to pick him only as a bench warmer for some strange reason.

Just on Burgess, he is usually a bench player for Toulouse and only really gets 20 minutes a game.

They have that rule in some of the European competitions I am pretty sure. Those countries don't count as a foreign player, hence why so many Argies and Georgians play in France.

After watching the way Argentina hassled Aaron Smith, I suspect we are going to be significantly hampered in this area. I mean Phipps and Sheehan are nowhere near International class. Is White and Lucas pretty much not available anymore?

Argentina were never going to win, but they showed they won't take too long to be on the same level as Australia and South Africa. Anyone else think the Wallabies are screwed both home and away against the Pumas.

Sorry mate but that's a rubbish comment. I agree with TOCC. That's like us blaming Pocock or Genia for the Wallabies failures.

Yeah but Hanson is better then both Charles and Fainga'a.

Good for you. Fucking crap for us!

You're sense of humor is confuses me. Surley this was said in a sarcastic tone.

Imagine if we had him fully fit at fullback over Morahan, that backline would be unbeatable.

Did Rob Simmons play for the Dragons last week? They said he did on the Reds wrap up video, any chance of him coming back late for this weekend?

I don't understand why they have to have a gay association and gay specific games. I think that is seperating them more than bringing them into the rugby community. Gays should feel (be allowed to feel) comfortable playing with a team no matter what the sexual orientation of the other players.

I understand the selections of Savea and Retallick, as the two they are replacing haven't had much of an impact. But Vito over Messam is a bit confusing, hopefully you're right about Hansen keeping him fresh FrankLind. I don't think this game will be a thrashing. The All Blacks will win...
