Must have watched a different game. I saw a game where the Boks showed some potential in the face of an onslaught. Were they outgunned? Of course. Did they have periods of play where they held their own? Definitely. Did they crawl in a hole and die in the last 20? No. ABs played an...

Larno, the turnover is a defensive tackle stat, ie how many turnovers won. So yeah Ireland is doing very well on defense by those tackle stats. Nice to have going into RWC. Agree completely about SH having more missed tackles etc due to better attack. There is an element of cultural shift...

Recently in this thread Paarlbok posted a link to Rugga Stats. I'd accessed the site before, but had a few issues with it. Primarily that it didn't attribute any scoring data (tries, penalties etc) to players. Hell, even teams. Nevertheless what it DOES have is Six Nations data AND Tri...

yeah I thought so too LG, was compiled for G&GR last year, but I couldn't tell who by - not in the G&GR vid list anymore?

I am predicting BB in the squad, but with limited game time. Enables us to have a class player at a pinch, limited risk to him, while maximizing play for incumbents.

Smith is pure class for sure. Added to Dan Carter makes for a steel backbone to AB play.

Must confess I rather like Dagg. but then I like Jane and Toeava. And Gear. As for Perkins, shameless hedging play by sportbetting.com.au.

Luke Burgess has a great ability to pull it out of the bag on the big games imo. In terms of structure of gameplay I'm a lot happier with the prospect of Burgess at 9 than of BB instead of Cooper at 10. Not saying Genia isn't a superb player, but assuming Burgess is available losing QC (Quade Cooper) is...

Mine also. Can't believe he started his AB career at 30.

He got huge doses of ribbing in 2008 and look where that took him. No, no I don't mean it took him to stealing laptops; he's now the 'best attacking rugby player on the planet'. Clearly more ribbing is the way to go ;)

I'll rest easy if and when Bill is in Rocky's luggage for the Qantas flight back home ;)

Keen to see Burgess in the mix myself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mfrKHWoHQ4

Is that you Nick?
