James O'Connor - Justin Bieber (or is it the other way round?)

TJ Perenara starting on the bench, surely can't be a dropping on form, hopefully he's just being given a bit of a rest and to give Smylie a start in reward for his good form off the bench. Mathewson v Perenara would've been a great battle.

Can't blame the commentators for getting a bit biased with some of those decisions and the way the game went - i.e. nothing going their way. I'd rather they actually say what they think, even if it sounds biased, than bs us and try and say they agree with obviously wrong decisions.

News coming in that Chris Pollock and TMO Keith Brown will be refereeing Central West 3rd grade next week...

'No clear evidence of offside' my rear end. Another rubbish TMO call.

Thought there was no way that was a try until I saw the replay, looked like a try for sure on the replay. Rubbish call.

http://www.portprint.com.au/rugbynews2013issue2/ Program for this week has all the news from round 1 and for round 2. Main stories from round 1: - Easts return to the comp with a win - Waratah impressive in P1 but struggle in lower grades - Lake Mac push Merewether - Uni push Hamilton -...

Tanaka already looking the goods, crisp service and a great tackle on Nic White to force a turnover.

Tanaka is a champion, deserves a shot in the starting XV. Predicted the Highlanders to break their duck the last couple of weeks, I'll stick with them again, Highlanders by 8.

Greg Clarke should be banned from calling games along with Kearns, Martin, Horan etc, and Sean Maloney should do all of the play by play. I've liked his commentary when he's done the secondary Australian games like the Force game a couple of weeks ago. He actually sounds enthusiastic and...

Does anyone know if clubrugbytv.com.au will be covering games again this season?

My comment was not a serious one, but I can't find any mention in the article of any incidents that would require investigation - such as violence or abuse of other crowd members. All the article talks about is that Stormers players were booed, Crusaders were cheered and they're not happy about it.

Never realised that supporting the wrong team counted as 'bad spectator behaviour'.

A fair few errors in this one but it was a pretty entertaining game to watch. A bit of a throwback to the late 90s Super 12 where nobody could defend and all the games were 40-30 scorelines. TJ Perenara was MOTM for me, he's absolute class and one of my favourite players to watch. There was...

Key word being 'seems', as far as I can see the Waratahs are definitely getting the rub of the green. The backlines for these two teams are almost ornamental. They both look decent when they get the ball but they're not getting it nearly enough.

I'm now convinced that Steve Walsh and AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) are the same person, because every decision seems to be going NSW's way.

It was a really dumb play - Guildford already cleaned out and nowhere near the ball, not really doing anything at all. But I'd hate to think that that play qualifies as worthy of a 10 minute sin bin. I believe the ref watching the screen is now part of the protocol, I've noticed them doing it...

Described this to a league-inclined mate today as being 'like an origin game except smarter', incredible intensity, but intriguing tactics and stories throughout the game, like the Crusaders' tactical kicking and the Stormers inability to win their own lineout ball. Yellow card was absolute...

I have a feeling that this will be the week the Highlanders finally bounce back. Call me crazy but Highlanders by 2 tries or more, by no real fault of the Reds, just the Highlanders performing to their potential.

Louden is actually coaching a first grade team up in Newcastle now and I believe he's brought in a program similar to the Uni EDS.
