    Springboks v All Blacks, Johannesburg, Oct 5th 2013

    This was from the First test back in 1970 at Loftus in Pretoria. If Bismark did that I reckon he would have been put in jail.

    Nightmare scenario - 3 red cards?

    I reckon it will be a positive. Have un-opposed scrums and negate their strong point

    Cant see that happening.

    While on the Chiefs red herring, here is an interesting one. Also the nam of a band http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaizer_Chiefs_F.C.

    Springboks v Wallabies, Newlands, September 28 2013

    I also noticed that and there was one incident where the ball was under the Aus flankers foot and FDP started a wrestling match for the ball. On the positive side it means that the new scrum engagement laws have brought the contest back to scrumming. Moore was not able to hook for the ball...

    Pumas v Wallabies, Rosario, 5th October 2013

    The Wobs are struggling to get decent ball from set pieces. That is nothing unusual in the history of the Wobs but to me what has changed is the way the ball is given away too easily. They always were so good at ball retention and playing away from the oppo's strong areas. They are not playing...

    Keep them from loitering offside, push them back in their scrum, first-time tackles and stuff up their line-out. Oh, and score more points than them. Looking forward to this one.

    When is Pocock back. That will be a great day for Aus rugby.

    Funnily, I see the Flip incident differently. I thought he was going for the ball and in doing so made contact with the forearm. Not saying he did not make contact, but I think his intention was to strip the ball. The Jannie incident to me looked far worse, and my observation is that if Moore...

    Rugby balls

    I had tennis elbow once. I would hate to have rugby balls. Sorry, I was just leaving.

    James O'Connor misses flight

    In two minds here; The one says so what he was off duty, a private citizen going about his day. The other says, you need to grow up especially after your behavior earlier this year. The best punishment - nothing (no contract, no place in the Wobs)

    And Zander I could cite several incidents from non-SA teams in any competition anywhere in the world.

    Got any facts to back that up, or is that just a feeling?

    Dan, the irony is that I am a ref. You did not want to be watching the game with me on Sat night. You would have learned some new words.

    All Blacks v Springboks - Eden Park, Sept 14th 2013

    You flatter me! Dan, maybe I am a bit harsh, but we have always called for refs to be accountable for their actions. The frustrating part for the coaches, players and public is that they have such a closed society. Maybe they should have a ranking system and they move up and down according to...

    All Blacks v Springboks - Eden Park, Sept 14th 2013

    I am not suggesting he be dropped completely. If a person has risen to that level in his profession he would have to have some redeeming features. He needs to be doing some games in the second tier and the ass ref for first tier.And I am putting Peyper in this category too. I do not think that...

    All Blacks v Springboks - Eden Park, Sept 14th 2013

    I do. Just as players are accountable for their performances so should referees be held accountable for theirs. I also think that Peyper should be given a "now listen here young man" talk for not consulting the TMO in the Aus v AB game. The referees should not be a secret society. After all we...

    All Blacks v Springboks - Eden Park, Sept 14th 2013

    Agree completely. It goes down in the history of the contests between the two countries. When we are older (already there) we will sip our Horlicks in the old folks home and talk about the great games and this will be one on them. It is brilliant as it adds to the theater of the rivallry

    All Blacks v Springboks - Eden Park, Sept 14th 2013

    Mr, our defense was not up to it on the night and that cost us, esp against the counter-attack. The missing man would have been a factor here, but so too were missed tackles. You are right, you probably would have won on the night, but what irks me is that we will never know and that rankles me...
