True, but Bryce has to manage what is in fron of him. And what he was looking at was a scrum that was not stationary or steady after the engagement and he failed to manage that.

Bryce was floundering at the scrum. All he had to do was to get the Blues to stop pushing before the ball came in and he would have been halfway home. You cannot have a fair contest when the platform is so unstable on the engagement. He could see that the scrums were a shemozzle and did not know...

The definition of saga is: story about what happens to a group of characters over a long period of time Pity they dont say how long.

You should check what is in supplements and not just blindly think that because a product is commercially available it is safe. Not because of the roids or other banned stuff, but for general health reasons.

Would not make for a very good friday if they did not

There are also the folloowing issues. to address. 1. Who will support a development team that gets thrashed every week. 2. The talent for these teams will come from somewhere. Hardly going to be much homegrown talent in Vic and WA so expect to see the traditional teams young talent being poached...

This could be a badger v baboon type of scrap.

I hope it is nothing trivial.

I agree Slim, it does go both ways, but to me it seemed that in the last 10 minutes of the game it went one way. But as others on the forum maintain you have to adjust to the ref on the day and the Cheetahs did not do that and paid the price. It is just frustrating to see some laws disregarded...

To throw my five cents in, apart from the final scrum and the moving heads penalty the penalty which I thought was a complete farce was when the Cheetahs were penalised when a Brumbie player, lying on the ground used his legs to get the ball back to his side of the ruck. The Cheetahs were then...

Great win for the ref. He worked hard for a Brumby win

Rebels outplayed for most of the night. I have severe reservations about Bryce Lawrence as a referee. He seems to have no understanding of the breakdown and has an annoying habit of calling advantage and then blowing the whistle when the team is about to play the ball.

According to Rugby365 this is his coaching team. 1. John McFarland: The English-born defence coach and former London Irish head coach helped Meyer and the Blue Bulls win four Currie Cup titles and become the first South African side to win three Super Rugby titles. Rated as “the best defensive...

One of the Barnes boys needs to be there and the other needs to be sent to play in the sandpit and left there.

For me it is Phil Kearns. He is just a bit too one eyed for my liking. But he can be a funny little bugger at times too.

Wobs 26 - Wales 22 AB 45 - Frogs 9

I think you might find Joubert has French origins, but a fair while back.

I think the biggest gripe about the refereeing is becaus there has been such a vast difference in interpretation in some of the laws by the referees. They should have had enough time to get a degree of consistency about what service they were going to offer.

He was one of the true characters of the game. Never took a backward step. Smiled when he smacked some upstart and had no fear. OK he had a few hotheaded moments, but if he played for your team you would have had some serious man-love for him too.

For me the choice of mouthguard is like the choice of what jocks you wear. You wear a mouthguard to protect your teeth and you choose a brand based on comfort and fit. Most of the time the thing is in your mouth anyway. How far can they take it. What if a player has a pair of Bonds jocks on with...
