Ben Smith is superb. Pirir Weepu stretchered off due to a knee to the back of the head. The Blues remind me of last year's Hurricanes -dangerous but not quite consistent enough.

Just since you mentioned Conrad Smith, I think he one of the most consistent players I have ever seen. As in, he plays well at international and Super level without any apparent slackening off in attitude or intensity. Really respect the guy for that. I have seen him fall off a tackle maybe once...

The game plan should have been giving it to Savea at every chance.

Kind of glad the Ponies won. Nothing worse than the Reds tin-arseing a home semi despite being outside the top 3 two years in a row.

And too much back-chatting from both sides. This isn't bloody soccer.

Probably, this goes deeeep.

And Ritchie, he'll know what to do.

He'll do well at the Chiefs I reckon.

Saders - no Owen Franks, no Sam Whitelock. Andy Ellis to bench. Crusaders: Israel Dagg, Tom Marshall, Ryan Crotty, Tom Taylor, Zac Guildford, Dan Carter, Willie Heinz, Kieran Read, Matt Todd, George Whitelock, Dominic Bird, Luke Romano, Nepo Laulala, Corey Flynn, Wyatt Crockett. Reserves: Ben...

Yeah, World Cup Final atmosphere.

Game of the year? Sarcasm?

Really?

Every side is a better attacking side than the Stormers - defiantly so.:)

Yep, the Cheetahs won without a bonus point. If they beat the Bulls, I'll include them in the mix. The Reds are in the shit if they lose to the Rebels.

Rassie, that post was before their game last night. Note I said they had 5 games left, now they have 4 Updated Meaningless predictions follow. (could be some mistakes here as attention to detail isn't my strong point) The Brumbies are on 50 points with 3 games left. They play the Canes at...

Updated Meaningless predictions follow. (could be some mistakes here as attention to detail isn't my strong point) The Brumbies are on 50 points with 3 games left. They play the Canes at home = probable win, Rebels at home = probable win, Force away = probable win = 62 points (bonus points...

In a normal world, the national coach says what he wants from the player and the player tries to do it. In Quade-supporter-land Quade doesn't do what the national coach wants from him and we say "good on him". WTF??

Very mature? He rattled out the standard stuff anyone says while beating the drums for MacKenzie. "It's a pleasure to play in the current Reds setup under Ewen McKenzie as coach. I have to take advice and listen to the coach so that I can try to improve all aspects of my game," Cooper said.
