3. JOC (James O'Connor) 2. Pocock 1. Sharpe

Only because there are two Faingaas on the field at any one time...

Dunno, my subbies club is supposedly playing so I can report back on conditions at Fortress Blackmore after my game. My guess - wet and muddy. Relevance to Tahs and the SFS, probably nil... btw, is there a 'playing rugby in 2011' thread?? I keep searching and can't seem to find one.

I think this has to be by far the most pertinent question. What on earth are they doing with themselves to appear so completely rudderless in attack? Even with NO coaching you would think they could come up with some more imaginative play.

Gold call Bullrush, one of the best around here lately. I think Turner is simply suffering from a lack of ball and is hence forced to try do something spectacular out of nothing every time he gets it. Although I don't rate him tha highly, I'd say that's also what Halangahu has been sufffering...

I really really really hope Beale is proper fit and isn't going to crock himself becuase he's not right for this game. The last thing we want is anyone like him out for a long time in the WC lead-up.

With Waugh gone and Kaplan on the whistle, I'm gonna go out on a limb and predict a Rebs (Argh just like Reds) win by 5. I hope I'm wrong.

Thanks Paarl. Can't ever say I don't learn anything here!

Good god that's a front row I wouldn't like to pack against. Paarl, I'm all for the use of Tin Ears for the Cheetahs but only once I know what it means! Could you clear up what on earth it means for us?

I thought that was pretty good for a babelfish/google translate effort. It actually made a bit of sense, thanks #1 Seconded on the Horne issue too, would really like to see him un-crocked and firing on all cylinders so he can play himself into WC contention

Those stats surprise me a little, I would have guessed ~180cm and 85 wringing wet. Still, if they're true and he's actually a centre rather than a wing, get him in at 13 for Cross ASAP. I can only think it'd be hard enough to start playing Super rugby at 19, let alone out of position but I'm...

I'd like to see Kingston step up and get given a run, but looking at him he seems to be quite small - does anyone have any stats on him?

That post might not have been to the thrust of your OP, gnostic, but it was well-considered and I thought quite relevant to the general discussion around here. Alex-A is right in saying that the Tahs have actually done reasonablly well overall since the inception of the comp and sometimes we...

As nice as it would be for him to be back up and running before the WC, he's going to have lost a whole lot of s&c during the recovery period. There's a lot of rather relevant exercise that you can't do too well on one leg.

Tahs: 3. Robinson 2. Carter 1. TPN Reds: 3. Horwill 2. Genia 1. Cooper

I find it hard to believe that all the Reds fans are doing is complaining that the Tahs weren't 'playing rugby' because a there were some scrums. You won for fuck sake, leave the complaining to us. Also, if the Wallabies don't win the World Cup and Mitchell is on the sidelines for it I am...

Just found this on the Matt Giteau twittersphere - it seems his readin material has taken a step up http://yfrog.com/gywvuafj

I'm assuming your example of being an engineer once and then career-shifting to law is true; you have all the skilled ability with words associated with the latter and a comlplete inability to see anything outside of the realm of 'logic' and 'reason' of the former. :D Truth is, as Sully says...

The ref looked like he was trying to tackle him, nice chase.
