    Penalty try Hurricanes vs Blues - What the?

    ok so I get the laws now - but still disagree that based on the video Vinny Munro can make the statement that it was deliberate or that Savea would have scored. I didn't know they couldn't slap it over the sidelines either? What's the difference between using hands and using feet? Hope this...

    Penalty try Hurricanes vs Blues - What the?

    Week 2. If you saw the game or the highlights - I just can't believe that this was a penalty try. 2 wingers diving after a ball in goal. They say the defending winger deliberately knocked it dead (even though there is no proof of intention - their both reaching out and the blues player was being...

    Reds v Waratahs, rd2 SR2013

    sorry to say it but I would watch the highlanders-chiefs game anyway over this. jeez what a difference in rugby standard. That said I'm sure both these teams will be competitive this year as defense seems ok. Tahs lost but their game attitude was 100 times better (apart from the last minute...

    Rebels vs Brumbies RD2 SR2013

    yeah but unfortunately the wallabies didn't develop their game with him at 12. Whatever - I love the guy's attitude and its way to early for this wallaby shit. Super Season!!!

    I'd say he was man of the first 5 minutes.

    Rebels vs Brumbies RD2 SR2013

    fairly good game for 65 minutes. By then the rebels had had the fight beaten out of them. SOOOOO GOOOOOD to see both captains blowing off fairly kickable penalty kicks for the sideline or for scrums. Definitely won't see that in the northern hemisphere. As with last year - the brumbies are...

    no way quirk was the best 6...he wasn't the best 6 on the park! thought kimlin played better. Quirk's just got the red mullet helping you notice everything he gets involved in and i agree he had a good game. But the other guy (starts with F?) deserves the points.

    Brumbies v Reds rd1 SR2013

    Watching the reply was really impressed with Ben Mowen's ruck work. Constantly smashing the ruck and hurting the reds protecting the ball. Bakkies/Vickers style. Good to see and slowed the reds and left a few bruises I'd say. Brumbies 6 was also in on the act.

    Rebels vs Force, RD1 SR2013

    Holy hell. I could not agree more. Defensively I saw about 6 or more really weak defensive efforts from beale. The only way I could describe it is that he was 'soft' in the contact. No aggression or intent to commit to the tackles. Fitness was also an issue i reckon - he doesn't look like he...

    Western Force 2013

    Tipping them to jump out to a win here against the rebels. Their first 2 months is sadly one of the harder itineraries in the competition so they'll be focused on getting some runs on the board.

    School sporting scholarships/recruitment

    This isn't a brand new practice. SBHS came a very close 2nd in 1993 to a scots team where only Tom Bowman started in year 7... (coincidentally there centenary year...don't think they wanted to lose). High has been going downhill since the start of the 2000s. One factor was shifting to 100%...

    Thoughts on Folau to rugby

    Out of brumbies guys list - I would only classify Tahu as a flop. And even then - he was just starting to get it when he quit cos he hated the travel. Vuna's been good for melbourne and Mogg and Schifcofske (write that 5 times) great at state level. Cross was pretty good at his best and never...

    Waratahs 2013

    Correct - the real problem is 12. My solution is Turner. I know he's played 13 at club level a lot and even once for the wallabies I think (maybe just a mid-week game). But I don't see any reason why he can't do really well playing 12 at super level. Would love to see his quick hands releasing...

TURNER 13 AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 14. Folau 15. Barnes The forwards are pretty straight forward to be honest. Could easily the...

    Wallabies v. Wales - 1 Dec

    On average he's been our best back all year. No questions. You can say what you like about what that says about the wallabies.

    Wallabies v. Wales - 1 Dec

    Watching the game I remember thinking that I was hearing the name 'Dennis' more times than every other game he'd played put together. Did anyone else think that AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)'s foward pass was ok? Looked dead fine on the overhead to me - at least way to close to call forward. not that it was a certain...

    Wallabies v. Wales - 1 Dec

    how has the welsh front row been going lately? I know we kind of had parity in Aus, but not sure if that means anything now.
