That tells me they are going to have a run and exploit a lack of match fitness. That is what I would be doing if I was their coach.

Well simple rotation explains the first simply with a shortage of match fitness certain players will have a huge work load required and Ant is the most capable of shouldering that. After a long lay off from a shoulder injury Cooper won't have the fitness or the confidence to take on a major...

Nah the Cooper To'omua combo worked bloody well and if both are playing well should be put back into place. The number of options that combo provides is plentiful due to its diversity and it I think allows us to adapt how we play.

Just stop trying to hype things up. They bring out these little snippets promoting games which just ignore the climate amongst the supporters. A simple message of we need your support more than ever. They tend to over reach in my view.

Somebody like Pocock is actually being a great advocate for the game by linking his profile with a moral high ground. Good on him and any body else with the balls to face the public and express their beliefs. Better them types than piss ants that hide in the shadows. His name and his face are...

Big banana skin game for you lot. The Blues are shithouse but a team with that much talent has to click sooner or later. A disciplined performance should see them off but I would be very careful not to drop your bundle against these fellas. That's how I see it anyway.

The matter is over and done with now. The bloke did a dumb thing and faced the music. I don't know him to be a repeat offender so his apology should be taken on his word and we all move on.

I know your comment is serious but on a lighter note that is a great pun.

Fuck all this under the carpet shit. After what the game went through last year, this should be faced head on right in the public regardless how unpleasant. My guess is Pocock just does not have the faith in those who run the game to deal with it properly behind closed doors and making the...

Let's face it, Ritchie McCaw is the benchmark test 7. I have yet to see Hooper trouble Ritchie. Pocock on the other hand is a different story. I think it is on the record that the opponents Ritchie respects the most are Dusitour and Pocock.

Wonderful on paper yet drastically short on match fitness.

A dangerous side the Lions. That is the beauty of Super Rugby as every team has it on any given day and consistency is really the only thing that sorts the lot out. I don't want us rushing all these players back into the starting 15 as we could easily come unstuck. We need Cooper straight...

Tahs played very well. Did their homework and executed their game plan well. Brumbies made some silly errors and blew chances but credit to the Tahs as that was due to pressure.

Rebels getting more out of Shipperly than we are out of both Hunt and JOC (James O'Connor) combined.

New Reds coach: Christopher Pyne, because he is the fixer.

We develop these players then let them go and brig on the next big star. Why don't we retain them? It is shithouse.

Good on the ref for handing out those cards. Didn't compromise his duty of care one bit and I respect him for that. I also like that he judged the Steyn tackle on it's merits rather than the outcome. The fact Cruden got up straight away had nothing to do with the offence and he judged it that...

Great battle between the Scrum Halves. De Klerk and Stirzacker pound for pound would be two of the gutsiest players in the comp.

Brumbies offer a tall lineout with plenty of options. I don't know why they would use Vaea. Better used as a lifter and Butler used as the fourth option after Carter, Fardy and Arnold (in no particular order).

Oh dear.
