Opinions are free, being gracious takes work. But sorry is a start :)

Just wanted to say Blue that I thought Matfield was immense today.

3 McCabe - huge hits, try assist to Horwill, you could visibly see the Boks get into the game once he was hurt, and for playing 20 minutes more. Inspirational. 2 Pocock. Best 7 in rugby. 1 Horwill. Huge game today, as player and captain. Huge. Hm - every bloody one in the team not least Ant...

So not a balls up then.

PS Kaino is injured?

Think he's pretty safe there Jolly, even if Boks win Botha is goorrrnnne. I suppose Brussouw could pretend Richie trod on his foot , but don't see IRB taking up 'eye for eye' sharia law in their penalty regs. Well, not unless the foot had unapproved branding on it.

And puke. Did we find out if there was a Siobhan at our hotel the day before we played Ireland?

At the risk of being contrary in recent times a number of notable teams have been quite good at winning by giving the ball to the other team and saying 'go on, have a crack'... Is that good balls or bad balls?

You could also say the only reason the Boks won in 95 was Mandela. That's so silly you could make a mov... Never mind.

Think the Poms will win. They've played messy rugby but they have all the elements there at front and back, they know how to beat the frogs and have done since Waterloo. In fact I suspect the Poms will have a great game, get crazy cocky the following week with a rampaging pommy press, only to...

Daresay Gatland and Henry have all been there, Les Kiss too. Applies at comp level too. Nucifora, Mckenzie (reds, tahs), White, etc etc. Reality of the pro game, but common sense too, when you're a team player, your team comes first. I have complete confidence Robbie's first and only loyalty...

1 Wallabies 2 Wales 3 ABs Wales because it's great to see them regaining their rep as a force in rugby and their style of rugby is great. ABs because they are the best team of the last ten years, I don't care what others say about Eng 03, and realistically they deserve the success. Us...

Much as kidnapping BdP appeals Pot, I think ASIO using the old dream suggestion method on PDivvy to make crap selection choices would suffice. Oh wait... er, never mind, as you were. Seriously though, somehow the bugger bumbled through to a very good 22. BdP, Roussouw, Brussouw, F Steyn until...

I think Fourie is closer to McBarnes than Nonu myself, but the comparisons do McCabe injustice. The only player I know of in SH rugby with McCabes defensive abilities is Tom Carter. In fact Carter is better. Smith is the most rounded Centre. McCabes poor attack and distribution is largely a...

Our forwards will turn up. Alexander, Kepu, Moore, Elsom Horwill and Vickerman will be on fire for this game. Pocock will be Pocock. Immense, indomitable and tireless. And so will the Boks, it is going to be a battle to remember assuming the weather isn't putrid. If the weather is foul it will...

The guy has a steel bolt in his foot. All those little bones flexing under the weight and power of a 100kg athlete can't be a happy combination with a steel bolt you'd think. They should be resting him this game if he's hurt. That they aren't tells us it really is just a niggle, or that the...

You see, the problem with being an ass on the interweb is that anonymity doesn't actually stop people from being assess. Mods do. See what I did there.

True Ruggo, but I think the goose's argument is that the issues would have long since been swept under expensive carpet without the media driven hyperbole. And he could well be right. The death threats linking and personal attacks on O'Neil have no place in sport and deserve heavy sanction...

Our backline has an edge over the ABs in all but centres I think. That said their wings and fb are looking sweet and their centre pairing is easily world's best. Like their attacking patterns also. Overall on form edge to us imo but much would, could depend on form of respective 10s. On a...

Irrespective of this weekend for me Deans will have achieved a lot as coach. The Ireland loss was a blot, and far from atypical of our inconsistent side, but overall its my view that's a reflection of where we were at in 08 vs where we needed to be. The trinations win was a acidctest, and one...
