Good lord, Fainga'a isn't even the best hooker in the reds!

That's a big fucking IF, buddy. This is the tahs we're talking about

I seem to recall something along the lines of Deans and McKenzie will not work together. Anyone know any details?

HSBC Waratahs team to play the Hurricanes Saturday April 6, 2013 Westpac Stadium, Wellington (kick off 5.35pm AEDT) 1. Benn Robinson (Eastwood) 2. John Ulugia (Eastern Suburbs) 3. Sekope Kepu (Randwick) 4. Sitaleki Timani (Southern Districts) 5. Kane Douglas (Southern Districts) 6. Dave Dennis...

Tahs make 1 change, bring Kepu into the starting team for Ryan. Palu is on the bench

I spent some time (about 3-4 minutes) watching only Hooper last week (one of the joys of watching rugby live) to see how he was positioning himself and aligning. This was during a period where the tahs didn't have the ball and were defending the whole time. My view was that Hooper was being...

Scott, can you explain the significance of Gill and smith playing fewer minutes vs Hooper? Wouldn't this skew the percentages in their direction if hooper is on for more time (and presumably tiring towards the end of games)? Are your figures percentage of rucks for while gill/smith are on, or...

from what i can gather all gold with a green collar

they seem to have removed the green piping. here is another image released via Instagram http://instagram.com/p/XoBKVHAJEQ/

or it kills him, whichever comes first. but either way we will know

last game i recall being under Kaplan was v crusaders last year. some very dodgy scrum calls IIRC and we lost by less than 5. Although i can't blame Kaplan for the way Tom Carter played that day..... this one is a big match for the Tahs. While I'm hopeful of a good performance I don't think...

I agree wamberal, and I think the only way to keep him is to cap him, probably on the EOYT. Show him what Rugby can offer that neither NRL or AFL can, an international tour representing your country.

I'm a bit over people suggesting Folau should be able to kick because he came from AFL. Folau played in the Full forward position, where he was mainly expected to take a high ball, then with no pressure line up at a set of sticks and kick a long skinny ball end over end between them. This is a...

While I think QC (Quade Cooper) is our best 10 and should play there against the lions, the ploy of dropping him to 15 on defense, whether for additional counter attack or defensive frailties, I think is too disruptive to the backs alignment and also team selection. If we have someone like KB (Kurtley Beale) or Mogg at 15...

I'm not sure why SKN's lack of counter attack would be an issue, the tahs almost never kick. Will be interested to see the force line up

Thanks Scott. The pacific solution you discuss above is exactly what I have been banging on about to anyone who would listen, and it's good to see it is having the desired outcome. I hope it is adopted soon without too much English media beat up

I'm sorry, but I just don't see it happening. MMM was well respected before he left. SKN was just voted Cardiff blues' worst ever transfer

other than Phipps, of course

after the game we went to pick up my youngest, who we'd left with the in laws. They both remarked that I was in an especially good mood, and on the way home my wife said "you're a different person when they play well" I suspect I'm not the only one

I'd share the knowledge with you, but then there would be a line, and...you know actually I will let you all in on the secret, with the caveat that as crowd figures build there will be more pressure on all bars. If you walk around towards the main scoreboard but head down the stairs to the...
