@HJ - The powers of the CCC in terms of questioning are significant, and in my view an absolute outrage. The powers are designed to allow the CCC to investigate serious crimes, but are being misused mainly for the purpose of gaining evidence in criminal proceedings. They force people to come in...

I thought Tom Lawton was good tonight. He seems like a bloke that calls it how he sees it. i like it

The weather is a real downer from a Reds point of view. They would have got a really good crowd to this fixture and would have been able to ride the crowd support. I think the forecast will scare a lot of people off and that will temper the home ground advantage somewhat. A real shame, because...

Let's hope Poey is back in time for the round 6 clash against the Tahs. Will be exciting to see them go head to head

Pocock was often playing in a beaten pack for the wallabies, which is what made him such as great asset. He seems to be in his element defending in his own 22. The man almost single handedly won us a World Cup QF in a badly beaten pack

This game is going to be awesome. Games between these two are usually close. Am I right in recalling the fixture ended up a draw a few years ago (2013 or 2012?) I was going to go out on a limb and pick a draw, but the loss of Pocock might have turned things in the Chiefs' favour.

In terms of prospect (perhaps I should be posting on the old "Wallaby Watch" thread) there are some nice forwards coming through the ranks. -Lopeti Timani looks like a decent prospect. I note he's currently playing lock, but with Palu entering the twilight of his career, he could maybe be a...

Hard game to call. Hard to tip against the Rebels but I reckon Tahs will bounce back. Tahs by 1

Nice try Bairdy. you know that underdog-status doesn't belong to you

Had the Tahs been playing the Brumbies in Canberra last weekend, I reckon they would have lost by 30 point.

I think that's a great idea Sully. Trying to avoid match spoilers in this day and age really is bloody tough. Most of my most visited websites have match results and social media is full of spoilers. My general approach is to avoid the forum if im trying to avoid spoilers, but implementing this...

That might work fine for the Six Nations but the IRB needs to ensure that teams are able to play ball in hand rugby at the world cup. That means cracking down on teams slowing the ball at the ruck and just as importantly, ensuring the defence line remains onside. I'm not just saying that because...

Hopefully they end up replaying the Saturday night fixtures on Sunday morning on FTA.

Last night I watched the Scotland/Wales game. Having now watched 5 of the games played thus far, all I can say is god help us (and world rugby fans) come the world cup, if the six nations is anything to go by. Don't get me wrong some of the games have been entertaining from the perspective of...

Early days yet but great signs that Pocock is going to be pushing for a starting spot (along with Hooper) heading into the world cup. Whilst I've always been a big advocate of what Pocock brings to the national team, I think with the availability of two world class 7s, both with very different...

Redstragic, its ironic that your avatar photo of Horwill portrays the exact emotion I felt watching Horwill play on Friday

true, but at least he's not damaged goods on the international stage

ha. yes, I did factor that in and weighed it against my biased distain for Alexander. To be fair I'm not sure I'm looking at Alexander objectively any more. I so want another young THP to shine its probably going to cloud my judgment
