Ok, fair point. Perhaps "sheer bloody minded inability to switch focus, and lacking the intellect to play to the referee" is more appropriate?

Lawrence was shit. Almightily shit. The thing that I was so happy about was that rather than our usual 'let's not get dragged down to their level' style of play that sees us blasted at the breakdown, they REACTED to the refereeing and within 20min were doing all the same shit the Bokke were. To...

Well given that the Reds had to look to New Zealand... stones, glasshouses.

It was at times, although Pietersen is an electric runner and it was only him, in broken play, and Lambie at set piece who showed us up. With first choice 10, 11 and 13 out we're doing ok. Second choice 11 also "out" though how the Reds got to keep their bloke and Tahs lost Kingston I don't...

I think he was just subbed with batger to fb and KB (Kurtley Beale) to fh... Well at 26-21 we will get a bonus point, which could be crucial, but we had the chance to get 4 there. The second half saw the Shorks having more than 2/3 possession and that's tough but as mentioned previously a few times we gifted...

Some typically dodgy Kaplan decisions running both ways in the last 5mins

+1 to both your last two posts!

That's the second time I've noticed KB (Kurtley Beale) throw a silly, unnecessary pass in the tackle...unfortunately first was only a falcon, that was a try :(

Ooh that could seriously kill a guy. Shorks 7 reverse body slamming chariots with a headlock then continuing on with it. Yellow.

Hangers officially a genius, qwerty wash your mouth out!!!! Wow too easy.

Ah well Mr Cross has never been the most coordinated of fellows...but a pity as slowly he's been improving. Agree with qwerty on Hangers v BB on that try but remember BB is one of the best defensive backs in Aus. He did help create our try too, so...

Agree wholeheartedly based on what I've seen. Good work to be within 2 after the barrage of quality possession the Shorks had for periods in the Tahs' half. Hope they show the Cross incident...

I know it's a bit wink wink nudge nudge but all my usual sources are coming up blank so if anyone knows a 'venue' at which to view the (rest of) the game I'd be obliged if you could message me...

3. TPN 2. Mowen 1. Robinson Hons: Mitchell, Carter, Pakalani all deserved points, would have loved to give them to them. Robinson had to get one because his scrummaging set the tone and established dominance early. Kepu, Burgo and Beale also all good though I definitely prefer KB (Kurtley Beale) at fullback. I...

Some truth in what you say Barbarian, but what that doesn't take into account is his intrinsic leadership and motivational abilities. He was very important in that regard, particularly once Waugh went off, though I felt Mumm stepped it up a bit in that regard this week. I reckon no Taf =...

To be fair, players develop at different rates, and Pyle has been impressive in the opportunities he's had. I say that as a Tahs and Uni fan so no risk of bias. Agree with the criticism of writing off McQueen - incredibly early to be making statements like that.

Well I stand by my previous analysis. No doubt they pummelled England but the RWC is a different kettle of fish. Despite the strong choker logic, I find it hard to go past the ABs. They'll either fall over in the quarters or ride the wave all the way, for mine. If Brussow, Smith et al are fit...

That's what seemed really weird to me. The whole thing is a very odd way to restructure wages in order to, allegedly, save money. The player percentage of revenue has been stable, so if they're struggling it implies cost blowouts in other areas - why? What's being done there? Hence RUPA's...

Looks like the Emerald Isle and all her inhabitants might be signing this petition...

Think we should rename the thread "Australia's Greatest Opportunity For Improvement" Groucho?
