At S14 level AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) is still a pretty decent fullback. He'll get more space to choose a hole to get through (or palm through) and could do really well. I got bored last night and youtubed the first 08 Bled and he made some fantastic runs from the back. It could of course, given his moderate form...

Chapman's been excellent in the lineout in the two past games and they've got four decent options (five if you chuck Smith in the air) to throw to. Lealifano has also improved a lot since his shockers early on in the comp, and his running game has really come on with a couple of great...

I thought Horwill was rusty against the Force but improved a lot against the Clan. For such a tall bastard he's great at getting to his feet and competing for the ball after making a tackle and I'm sure I remember one turnover of FK penalty last week?

Carter's petulance is what I dislike about him. He prances around like he's an uber tough guy, chest puffed out and everything.

That was totally bizzare from McLindon, who has been getting worse and worse after a good first couple of weeks. Va'alu continues to fuck pretty much everything he does up, how come he wasn't subbed earlier? Was Ezra Taylor even playing?

Plank and McAlister it seems. 1/ 2/ Bruno 3/ 4/ Harrison 5/ 6/ Collins 7/ 8/ Elsom/Corry 9/ Marshall 10/ Evans 11/ SBW? 12/ McAlister 13/ Mapusua 14/ Howlett 15/ Shaping up to be a decent team.

Hearing Staniforth's scream and I thought that's the last we'll see of him playing rugby in Aus, but he got up and kept powering on - all heart that man. Mitchell's defence should rule him out of contention for the Wallabies 15 jersey, how can someone so strong in the tackle be so feeble when...

Was he better than Burke against the ABs tho? Burke probably has the most points out of anyone against the ABs; the heroics in 98, that try in 96, that try in 01, kicking after the hooter in 02, and nailing the coffin shut in his final test against them in 2004.

Re: Shawn Mackay hit by car Terrible, terrible news. Wow this is truely sad news, thought he would pull through. :(

When the Reds beat Canes in the first game of 07 he was best on park and put in some massive hits, and he's been MOTM in plenty of games. The problem with him at the moment is that he (and it seems Mooney) are unsure if he's a lock or a 6. He's a great footballer but he's running style is far...

Force lead 17-0. Half time and the Reds had all the ball and all the territory, but coughing up the ball just before scoring with poor ball security and pushed passes. Force are playing great but they don't need to with the Reds making so many errors. Force aren't putting any numbers into...

If that Brumbies side clicked they could make a mess of most teams, but there seems to be something missing. Watched the replay of the first half on-and-off at work yesterday, and they made great inroads against the Sharks but just couldn't finish it off. Hopefully they get it right this week.

Re: Shawn Mackay hit by car Dunno, but here's a more detailed story of the injuries. Really sad news, hope he pulls through OK.

Haha yeah he has deep-seated problems with Australia, loves jumping in when an Aussie side gets thumped, but somehow he didn't show his face on the Sharks V Reds thread on TSF? :nta: (chin rubbing emoticon is what I was going for)

While it was good for the Tahs to get the win, I thought there's still a long way to go before they can take the Jaapie teams in Jaapieland. Thought Burgess played the best I've seen him play this year (bar the one or two standard crazy passes), but Sheehan continues to stink the place up...

Mortlock's definitely out, Fairbanks to 12, Smith at 13.

And Queensland and Australia apparently (remember something about him playing centre for the Reds) - http://archives.tcm.ie/irishexaminer/2001/11/28/story18158.asp

If Leeroy can get his fitness up to scratch I reckon he will be a better player than Palu will ever be. The kid has serious talent.

Despite the flame on his head I thought he was pretty invisible in the first half but was decent in the second, getting stuck into a bit.

Chiming in for Shepherd. He's the best suited, and is a decent goalkicker. That was Gerrard wasn't it?
