Show me a team that can, and I'll show you a captain that is a future coach.

Oh well... It was a good 26 minutes.

My opinion is that Genia's form is mainly post RWC burnout and should come right. Super Rugby,3N,RWC was a huge ask and we're seeing it in injuries and form across the comp imo. Sure Cooper's absence has impacted on him. The beauty of Cooper is that he create space and opportunity for others. On a...

I'm expecting Rocky to be gtg come the tests. Sent from my Razr using Tapatalk.

= Fostering leadership in our playergroup. Admirable, but let's face it, utterly fails the corporatespeak test. My guess? Robbie is a plain speaker who got burnt by the press and now utilises robbiespeak. Sent from my Razr using Tapatalk.

certainly my pick for those slots on form.

I'd settle for seeing Aussie teams playing better close support for runners, i.e. pushing them through. Other than the Brumbies we seem to suck at it.

Is that you Woody? :p

good question. In the Samoa test he played ok, but paled against the running talent of Beale who we desperately needed in that game. Playing alongside Beale he was able to complement Beale without cramping Beale's style - something I wouldn't say of Quade in his role as a 10 cum 15 in the...

I was staggered how well Gerrard fitted in as winger and second fullback. To the point if I was Robbie I'd be thinking about playing him there as well, his kicking game and read last week was impressive. Add Inman, who has been a great counterpoint to Cips/JOC (James O'Connor), add a strong game from Phipps...

After years of injuries it is probably just a consequence of trying to adopt a less injury prone playstyle. I have no doubt his game will improve. Sent from my Razr using Tapatalk

I was surprised how well Phipps went, in contact and in ball service; I thought he had a strong game. I think Kingi has shown more flair, but Phipps will profit from last night's game imo.

Coulda cried when randomnumbergenerator blew a whistle on the blues for a rebels scrum in the first half at the exact same time the ball was out at the back. Sure enough scrum resets, blues win. Meh. Blues handling errors were woeful. Nonu actually played ok from where I sat, but got some...

Can't wait for the game, atmosphere at AAMI will rock. Nonu vs JOC (James O'Connor) will be a telling match up. I do wish Kingi was playing, and a Mortlock in the last 20 would be a sight, but it's a good side and if Phipps shows urgency and judgement he'll do well, mark my words. No excuses Rebs, time...

First half Rebels tactics were good, but they needed to change the game in second half, instead the Rebs tried to maintain the rage and tackled themselves out of the game. IMO Highlanders were vulnerable to reversing the tactics in the second half; play for touch, move them round, open them up...

The most dangerous player in the ABs last year for me and good news for us if he's gone frankly, though I'll miss watching his staggeringly strong play. And yeah his stoppage of Digby was to me a pivotal moment in the Cup.

one eyed much?

wasn't unexpected, and he's been a real asset that will be difficult to replace as far as I am concerned. I wish him well on his path to English honours. Nows the time to pound out some great games Cips! re Quade- any Aussie team management would have Quade, he's a great drawcard, but can't...
