    Crusaders v Rebels - Super Rugby Round 11 - 28 April 2013

    Nick Stirzaker was snappy when he came on, looked pretty good (for a Sydney Uni player). Inman played well also. Tyler Bleyendaal and Luke Romano were both impressive for the good guys.

    Crusaders v Rebels - Super Rugby Round 11 - 28 April 2013

    Glass, half full, etc. Feel a bit sorry for the Rebels, I doubt they'll be able to reproduce that effort and performance next week, they may well get caned by the Chiefs.

    Crusaders v Rebels - Super Rugby Round 11 - 28 April 2013

    Crusaders winning without playing well when a fired up opposition really threw it on them, sign of a good side IMO.

    Crusaders v Rebels - Super Rugby Round 11 - 28 April 2013

    Rebels lucky not to lose a man to the bin there, about 3 cynical offences.

    Newcastle Hunter Rugby Union

    That'd be right pT, it would've been an ad showing a few highlights and listing the games for this round.

    Reds v Blues, Round 11 2013, Attack of the Attack?

    Reds extremely lucky to not be penalised on several occasions in the last 5, I suspect Mr Joubert put his whistle away.

    Hurricanes vs Stormers Super Rugby R11 26 April

    I only saw the last 15 minutes but I thought Walsh was pretty bad in favour of the Stormers...especially the offside lines, he was letting the Stormers get away with going early nearly every ruck. Didn't see the rest, good to see a big crowd there in Palmy.

    Reds v Blues, Round 11 2013, Attack of the Attack?

    Ground announcer is annoying the hell out of me and that's through the TV....can't imagine what it must be like at the ground.

    Reds v Blues, Round 11 2013, Attack of the Attack?

    These two don't look like they realise the game goes for 80 minutes, been a crazy pace for the first 20.

    Shute Shield 2013

    Great feature just now on Rugby HQ about Parra, would love to see them do one on every SS club through the season. Much better than listening to the panellists gabber on and on.

    Shute Shield 2013

    I wish the ABC was broadcasting today's game, should be a cracker.

    I truly hope this was intentional.

    Waratahs vs Chiefs Super Rugby Rd 10, Fri 19 April 2013

    Yeah its a curly one, this debate has shown up a whole lot of potential holes in the TMO changes. The Crusaders one was clearly a forward pass and should've been called at the time, but as you say, it was technically 3 phases earlier so by the law, shouldn't have been ruled on, even though we...

    Waratahs vs Chiefs Super Rugby Rd 10, Fri 19 April 2013

    I was suggesting it could've been checked in the same way as this try from 2 rounds ago - http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=Dgd4p61IXOc#t=268s which albeit was off probably a more obviously forward pass. If the AR (who was in a decent position to judge the pass) said to...

    Horwill's STOMP and claims the Reds weren't penalised enough

    Imagine if they went through and picked out should've-been-penalties for every game...what a horrifying idea.

    Waratahs vs Chiefs Super Rugby Rd 10, Fri 19 April 2013

    I agree with your sentiment of not wanting rugby to become like league where 2/3rds of tries get sent upstairs, but if the TMO is not used to look at incidents like this one, then why bother expanding the capabilities of the TMO? I don't agree with the idea that there was nothing questionable...

    Waratahs vs Chiefs Super Rugby Rd 10, Fri 19 April 2013

    Yeah, it was my gut feeling that it was forward, but looking back at that footage, the touchie (Angus Gardner I believe?) is pretty much in line with it and has a good look at it and presumably gave it the all-clear. Could've done with a TMO review seeing as we've brought in the capability for...

    Waratahs vs Chiefs Super Rugby Rd 10, Fri 19 April 2013

    Both. Just looked like a textbook forward pass to me, as soon as it was thrown, watching it live.

    Waratahs vs Chiefs Super Rugby Rd 10, Fri 19 April 2013

    Pass to Crawford in the lead up to that last try was about half a metre forward, should've been denied on a TMO review like a Crusaders 'try' was last week. Chiefs looked flat as a tack for most of that game.

    Nicknames of Australian Rugby players

    I've heard Berrick Barnes referred to as this in recent years as well.
