Sadly CFS is out for the season with that hamstring strain, according to Jim Tucker at the Courier. Simmons is said to have had a cork.

Kraplan. I thought he was only supposed to cruel the Tahs. His games end up a shitfight where both teams don't know what he is going to blow at the breakdown far too often.\ Still, it was probably more sporting to spend the game yelling at him from the stands rather than abusing Cowan, which...

Didn't we try this last year when Ioane defended at 10?

I hope he has been inducted into the leadership group. What's the ceremony? A blindfold, a stick and lots of spinning?

Thanks Sam! Secure the win, than get the bonus point if you can. Underestimate any team at your peril.

Josh Rakic reports he will head to Japan - Europe - Japan - Europe, signing to Kobe Steel for 2 years with the possibility of a European club in the Japanese off season. I understand he has been looking for a job in a steelworks ever since this photo shoot. It's been a disappointing...

Fair enough too. Nowhere near enough reds.

Simmons is Sharpe's backup in terms of roles, and Timani is as close as we've seen to Horwill's. The problem is that neither are yet as effective as the original. But that's a bit of an ask.

Yup, and the same applies to the wallabies.

Might be a good plan for next year?

The only reason the tackler got close was that weird stumble as he set sail.

The lineout shuffle may not have helped TPN. And it was noisy and hard to hear calls (including at scrum time with the crouch - touch) Sharpe called himself a lot and and the six (Higgers/Dennis) a bit, but not Timani. (Or if he called Timani, he got nowhere near it). For the most part that...

As they have in every game apart from that masterpiece of attacking rugby, the game against Scotland.

I didn't wander on here to sink the boot in Timani, but that's a bit revisionist. Timani was barely sighted in the lineout (unlike Simmons) and he 'hit' half the rucks and mauls that Simmons did in Melbourne. Timani carried the ball as many times, getting a couple of extra pick and drives. He...

Cooper has played what - 120 minutes since the RWC playoff? Of course he's rusty, I'm surprised he was assured as he was. Ioane did a mountain of work for the wallabies, he seemed to be carrying or decoy runner over and over again. It looked like he picked up a niggle on Saturday night and and...

I'd play Anakin over Darth. Vader is almost as much a crock as Horne when it comes to injuries. What I don't understand is why Jar Jar Binks is coaching.

Yeah, like in that movie. What was it? That's right: The Longest Yard

Unless the Reds can stretch their season Cooper won't get a whole lot of exposure to push for anything.

Oops - unfortunate thread title. Accidentally guilty. Not surprising, though lack of intent is hardly rare in dangerous tackles, and wasn't he suspended early this year for the same? Wish Bruce Squire had officiated for Ioane's hearing.

Daz, this is how it works: When we lose: "The sky is falling! WE NEED TO CHANGE! When we win: Whoa! Wasn't ______ just FANTASTIC! Next - the Bledisloe/Bill/Lions If you can't stick to the script you'll end up like Gnostic.
