Nah, we're not coach killers like Reds fans. We just moan into our chardonnay. Feel free to shout "Gibson out" if you want to.

The Bumblies have no hope against the mighty Tahs. We sting like a butterfly, float like a bee.

Still no collar. Oh how I pine for the days when men wore jerseys made out of leather and smoked cigarettes on the field. The purpose of a rugby jersey is to look good in a bar. All this high-performane malarkey goes right over my head.

Hear hear. The additional franchises have increased our depth remarkably. Whether or not they're all competitive misses the point.

They played like a Kiwi team. Quite loose, but very fast and backing up.

Great first half from the Reds. And kudos for revisiting their old gameplan in the second. Practise makes perfect! But seriously, it's good to see some Aussie backs showing some blockbusting form at last.

What a spackfest that game was.

Absolutely right. I think there's some woolly thinking about money, sports and rugby in this country. A sport being 'professional' doesn't mean it must be profitable, unless it has investors to satisfy. Woe be the day when sport becomes about shareholder value. The commercial purpose of...

Try telling that to the Internet. ;-)

Go Jaguares! A very exciting team.

Reds posters here are going on the field?:eek: Well it can only be an improivement.

All this brash talk about weak Tahs props is face inviting egg on.

June? Who's she?

The ARU won't post a loss.

Beale and Folau. What a bunch of no-hopers. :) But seriously, Beale's form has been excellent. Folau is warming up.

Unfortunately opportunity, in the form of game time, is in as short supply as props during a Super Rugby season.

It's easy to blame the Tahs for poor planning, especially given our past, but where are those replacement props going to come from? We don't have automatic dibs on the best players unfortunately. The development props just haven't worked out. At the planning stage, a few years ago, it was...

I didn't mean you, Galumay! But you're right, there are many who do. They have the disadvantage of being wrong. In the case of the Stormers game it was quite outlandish. There was clear air between Mann-Rea's forearm and Oli Kebble's head, and between du Plessis' hand and the ball. But...

I'm sure this has already been moaned about (and I don't often moan about reffing decisions myself) but there's something about an Afrikaans accent on a TMO feed that tells me with complete certainty that a wrong decision is about to be made.

I certainly didn't feel grim. I thought it was a great fightback, and a close loss to the title holders. But then I don't usually feel grim. And while I fully understand savouring a Reds loss before it happens, they can't always be relied upon. I'd say the lesson of the weekend is that the top...
