I don't know about an "end" to Mummy, as I do see them as different players. In essence, Mumm is a 4/6 and Mowen is a 6/8. However, I agree that on form Mumm's squad position should go to Mowen for sure. I think Mumm should be up against Simmons, Douglas, Wykes and I guess Van the Man for the...

Fixed :) At 8 reds, you only actually picked 3 more than me, and 2 more than vidiot. If I'd thought about it more I'd possibly have put Slipper in the starting lineup, but Fainga'a wasn't in the top two hookers this week, vidiot found room for Higgers where I couldn't...I'd have Vaea on the...

True. However, an even better question is 'Why was Ma'afu stupid enough to punch Quade Cooper when the previous week a little push cost them the game?' Truly moronic ill discipline.

"Only" :(

It's true, some will, sometimes but like all rules of thumb, it's pretty accurate. The fact that a referee who's never packed a scrum in his life and has a tendency to make rash, imprecise decisions thought one team were 'at fault' really doesn't say much either. Now, I should admit that I...

I think what PaarlBok was trying to say in his invective laced rant was that Aussie teams have to stop playing to what we all know the law ought to be and is supposed to be, and play to the whistle. If he isn't stopping floppers, flop to your heart's content. If he's not policing the off-side...

Umm generally there's no incentive for a team to go down on their own feed. Hence, it's (normally) the opposition bringing it down... I think you just shot your argument in the foot Slim...

I think that it actually reflects that he's not even the best THP at the Ponies, sitting in a tie for second with Ma'afu. He was the post penalised prop in Australia last year, and basically unless he pulls it together risks missing out on the cup altogether - surely we have enough try scorers...

It is early, but looking at your squad I see the quoted positions as most contentious/tenuous. It's unknown whether or not Horwill will be fit at all, let alone in form. If he is, he's a sure thing for the squad. The query for Vickerman runs along almost identical lines. The two who could...

Don't worry too much. For all that the Tahs weren't at their best, the Saders game was pretty physical and will have taken one heck of a toll emotionally. You couldn't get a better chance against the Saders, imo. You just never know...

Re worst match, I was more talking about the aesthetics I must say. It's true, they fought hard as and the effort cannot be doubted. However, they were woefully inept in attack (reflected in 0 tries), and despite a great effort, let in 5 tries in defence (yes, I am aware they were down a man...

Has anyone heard how Ndungane is? I definitely didn't think it was a red, and would hope that the match review would consider 'adequate' action taken, however I suspect if he's badly injured there'll be a sizeable suspension. Of course, that's not why I hope he's ok. Agree it wasn't the best...

Thought: I want what he's been smoking.

Hi Pakistani, Statistically, 1/20 (as there are 20 teams). However, they have to make the quarter finals first. They should do that ok, as runner up in Pool C. Probably a 4/5 chance of that. In that QF they'd probably play South Africa. This is a very, very hard game they're unlikely to win...

Giggity! I'd say the ABs will have the advantage in terms of youngish freshish bodies, it looks a very useful side.

Mate not one person has said we lost because of the refereeing. Also STRONGLY disagree re Douglas, I thought it was his worst effort for the Tahs. Mowen came close to parity against the World XV 8, which is pretty impressive. Disagree to some extent re Dennis and Carter, and I think it's as...

I almost agree, except for the bolded point - I felt that the Saders were given a lot of latitude in tacklers not releasing and not rolling away. I think that the Reds did note that, as they have Robinson starting and a 5/2 split to bring Gill onto the bench - hopefully they do better, but I...

Pretty much could have hit 'agree' but I like to see my name up in lights. One could go on all night about his cockups but it conveniently sidesteps the point. Sure, almost every scrum the second half they bored in but wgaf. Sure, there was an amnesty on knock ons, but wgaf. The key is that the...
