Not good for the tour! Hammy's are usually multiple week injuries.

I think you're trying to put the mockers on us, as every Brumby fan has tried from Super inception. Geez, I hope you're right but the confidence level of Tahs fans I suspect is considerably lower. The Tahs don't do intense forward trench work at all well and this is what I expect from the Reds...

The problem with "deliberate" knock-ons is consistency. In the NZ conference games the referees have decided they will not issue yellow cards, even when its blatant. In Australia the ruling seems to be yellow most of the time. In CFS's case he appeared to be making a genuine attempt to catch the...

I reckon he'll be used more sparingly once the Kiwi's post their 6 in the lane outside the winger, as they often seem to do. But Rona's try on the weekend was a result of three players waiting for a pass to Big T and Rona just strolled through. So just the threat of Taqele will open up space for...

But Braveheart, the signs were there in his games at the Tahs. He clearly had huge potential to be hard-charging lock of which the Tahs had one, Skelton, but he headed off overseas before he could pay back the investment. There was NO ONE coming through behind and we told our best prospect he...

It was backward out of the hand and the wind blew it forward. I was screaming at the TV at the time!

This year that ruling has been applied in the Australian inter-conference matches but elsewhere it has been very variable. In NZ inter-conference matches I don't think it has ever been carded and it tends to happen once per match. In a SA vs Waratahs game it also occurred and it was not even a...

Folau's hammy is 4-6 weeks so that must be some guide. Hope you've got a transfer left!

If that was the only one I'd give the refs the benefit of the doubt. But after pulling it up twice in the first 20, the ref tore that page out of his rule book and forgot about it. The Brumbies thereafter threw to the right shoulder all night, except for one that the hooker threw straight by...

Glad you didn't Dismal.

People keep telling me how good Lilo is at 12. But on his Saturday night performance he looked totally anonymous. When Godwin looks better than you did things are pretty grim. I can guarantee you that unless there is major change, the Brumbies will not score a try off set piece that's half as...

Superbru has it at 15, but they record the Tahs as getting a BP for tries and I don't think that's correct. So, my error, Rebels will remain top after round 8.

Did you see the Blues-Sharks game? There are no should wins in this competition. The Bulls beat the Hurricanes, the Sunwolves nearly beat the Lions, the Jaguares beat the Waratahs and the Lions, but no one else. Using form as a guide in a tipping competition will probably get you in the bottom...

Blues vs Sharks was just totally perplexing. The Sharks have been awful on tour (and at home) and the Blues have looked to have some potential this year. So I tip the Blues by a few and get totally blown away. The closest tipper (1) on Superbru said Sharks by 15 - a full eight points out. Not...

Most teams have already had two losses, which speaks to the competitive nature of this competition. Most years the table-topping team will only lose twice all year. Rebels do top the table but are likely to lose that as this is their bye week.

I thought McCaffrey had a really good game, the backrower who didn't show up was Naisirani. AAA and Pocock were good too, the rest were just going through the motions. It looks like they've figured that the backs are pants so they're just going to do the minimum. Powell seems to be hot and...
