Ben Smith is seriously incredible right now. IMO would have to be in the best 3-5 players so far this season for any team if not the best. Kade Poki's form would have to be a positive ACR? Gareth Anscombe playing miles better than I'd expected too.

Highlanders gave away far too many turnovers, was it 3 intercept tries effectively? Ridiculous. Cheetahs will go very close to beating NSW again next week.

Once the scrums stopped being reset it became a really top-notch game. Didn't see the last 20 minutes so I'm not sure where it all went wrong for the Crusaders but I'm also glad to see the Canes get up because they're just such a likeable team. Savea Lomu'ing Marshal and Dagg for that try was...

They'll be a tough hitout, especially if Newcastle field their strongest side in one of the games rather than mixing them together into two teams. There are plenty of players in the N/H side who could mix it in the Sydney comp IMO. In fact theres actually a player in the N/H side who played...

I personally think some of them should be penalised for being no arms tackles. Some on here may remember a tackle by a Parramatta Eels player last year in the NRL that attacked Manu Vatuvei's knees in a similar fashion, and he received a suspension for it of about 3-4 weeks for simply a...

They've got one player in the seniors side, just checked it. He's their fly half/captain. Uni are not at their strongest atm, in a bit of a rebuilding phase.

I think it's because we often see players run into the referee, but we rarely see refs run into players. We don't think twice about it the other way round because it happens a fair bit. Just a strange incident, I guess Walsh will get a few jibes from the other refs about it, Conrad probably...

Warringah playing Newcastle University up here I believe.

What did everyone on here think of Steve Walsh barging into Conrad Smith? I only saw it on a replay after being told about it, but gee it looked strange, I've never seen a ref run into a player with such force. If I didn't know better I could've sworn Walsh raised his forearm into the...

Not sure if anyone has seen this, but we have a sighting of Richie McCaw...probably not the place I expected to see him during his sabbatical. Sure he's having a great time over there.

Agreed about the Blues jersey, they look fantastic. Nice big crowd over there too, they said about 31-32k.

Would hope they make the S15 teams warm up on an outside field/in the sheds to ensure the main ground is in best possible nick in that case.

To call off one game because of the weather seems ridiculous. They're still playing a S15 game there, the ground will still get ripped up, why not let the A game still happen?

Would take you up on this offer if I was in Sydney - from what I've read on here, the important people at Gordon are doing great things in terms of building the club.

Folau getting as much column space as the match report itself in todays Sun Herald is terrible.

I'd personally like to see 'the Mute Button award'' and 'the Scotty Stevenson award' for worst and best pieces of commentary each round. I have a feeling Kearns/Marto/Horan might have a mortgage on the worst one. Also best try celebration of the week - we all want try celebrations to make a...

Every time I read/listen to discussion about the 3rd tier, I always end up at one point, no matter how long it takes me to get there: if as much money and effort was put into assisting/stabilising the SS (and other club comps) as there is put into thinking of other ideas for the 3rd tier and...

First date syndrome - that's a brilliant way of putting it terry. Absolutely agree about that. I don't mind the music between balls at the T20 but you could hear music in breaks in play during the Brumbies/Reds game last night, that's not on.

Watched most of the replay of Rebels v Force, and Cannon really needs to stop commenting on refereeing. He got a lot of explanations about decisions completely wrong, and was questioning and criticising correct decisions. Other than that he's quite ok, he's enthusiastic which gives him points...

There were a few $0 amounts in there, I assume the clubs didn't want to give those figures? Pretty poor of them to not disclose them when everyone else was.
