Two things are burned into my brain about Thompson: The refusal to pull the 8 when he couldn't pick up the ball and fall on it over the line when he had a perfectly good replacement on the bench. We lost about a million tries because of his stubbornness. His selection of a player for the final...

The cap is bloody awful. Thank God I'll be wearing a light blue one.

Jersey deals are funny things. I would bet that you would need to be inside the tent to know the actual details of the contracts to decide how good they were. The Tahs have three sponsors on the new jersey, one front and two back. Do they get more or less money for that?

You Reds guys will get a close look at it this year as those red shoulders drive into the rucks the only time we play. Red was chosen so that the blood is not so visible on TV for the squeamish. :)

This assumes TGC was being completely open and honest in the press conference. Now I know he usually is and he's no Eddie, but it was a press conference and sometimes a bit of misinformation helps to sow confusion. Shag is a master at it.

3. DHP 2. Pocock 1. Hooper

Womens matches on Thursday are on delayed showing on Friday.

Left arm hurt. Worst case broken.

Lance off already. That ended quickly. Gutted for him.

Last year Tom Robertson just appeared on the radar. Now he's a Wallaby. It was expected that Matt Sandell would transition to Super before him, though Sandell is theoretically a LHP (these days its hard to tell with Ta'avao and Ryan supposedly now LHP's). If Lolohea goes well for the Baa-baa's...

I would not agree with that. Lance was absolutely excellent for the Force till his injury and led them round the park very impressively. Then for mine he was a standout at NRC. Even if he plays 80 in Bordeaux he should be the back-up 10 on Saturday if Cooper is not fit. And from the look of the...

The Fox article says its not being televised. That means someone will have set up a camera, or several, and then stream it somewhere. Who might be convinced to do that would be pure speculation, but I'm not holding my breath.

No one unless they had a tin hat on or were trolling. This comment is not particularly helpful.

I think he was sounded out to play for the Aussie Barbarians, which I am not averse to. He is not eligible to play for Australia because he doesn't have 60 tests and he doesn't have a current Super contract. But if he's managed to grow up a bit in his time at Toulon, I'd be happy to see him...

And he's human. So he will make some mistakes anyway. You have to rate a coach on the balance of his record and the talent available to him at the time. Nobody's perfect, not even Ealesy.

I agree RN. When Cheika chopped and changed our second row players earlier this year lots of people wanted his blood. Some of the criticism was absolutely feral - along the lines of "how can an international coach be so stupid that he doesn't know who his best team is?" And now Cheika is...

The NZ team play one less game on the EOYT than we do and yet Hanson rested a huge chunk of his best team against Italy. What does he understand about player fatigue that keyboard coaches do not? Do kiwi's consider that Hanson has cheapened the jersey by playing the B team even though the A team...

Yep. Ireland are about to find out what happens when you kick the hornet's nest.

I hope that Naiyaravoro gets a good run this match, not the last five minutes. His first game for the Baa-baa's was absolutely sensational.
