Your idea of balance and mine are somewhat different. Originally I expected the Jaguares to be a leading team but in doing so I forgot how hard the Super comp is on newcomers. Even the mighty Crusaders didn't make the finals till their third year in. I now don't expect the Jaguares to be...

Monday afternoon and I'm still buzzing over the Tahs performance. It was as good as their demolition of the Canes two years ago and we all know what that led to. Still, right now they are out of the eight and unlikely to make the finals. Have a look at the cushy run home the Saffers teams have...

I stayed up to watch the final, wish I hadn't. The Canadians opened up a few flaws in the Aussie's system, especially in the first half. Our domination over the Kiwi's was excellent but we played our final in the semi, and didn't cope with the Canadian's power game very well at all. Green...

Given that the Canes have to play the Waratahs away after the break, I'm not sure I understand why the Canes are guaranteed a finals spot. Given their capacity to implode, I don't think the Canes are a sure thing at all.

I don't get the Lucas haters. All season he has come on and played like a finisher should. In my opinion he is as good as Frisby, who I remain unimpressed with, and streets ahead of Stirzacker, Mathewson and Dowsett/Powell. I'm glad to have him as Phipps backup. Having Cubelli at the Brumbies...

Oh ye of little faith!

Maybe its the difference between being the number one team and the number 6 team. Walsh is looking to bed in his best team for the Olympics, Friend is searching for a nugget that might get him a medal in a mountain of slag.

Gentlemen, Remember that the first person picked in a team is the tight head prop. The second person picked is the reserve tight head prop. Then you commence picking the other 21. Forgetting this is what got us mullered in the scrum from 2004 to 2014.

Tom Robertson hits 16 rucks in 59 minutes! This is the sort of THP I like to see. Only the energiser bunny hit more per minute. And he gave his (admittedly inexperienced) opposition front row an absolute mullering. Sometimes you throw an unknown in there and he comes up gold. Hanigan hit a...

I reached for the like button because I agree 100% with the post, but how can I like tahs playing wounded with the Crusaders in a fortnight.

Greene's limited performance? How can you possibly tell when he only gets 5 minutes every second week? There is a reason O'Connor was a big failure in the NH. He kept faith with players who didn't deserve it and didn't put his faith in others who did. AKA playing favourites. And guess what...

Nah. I've got this pegged to the Force. They will grind up the Sunwolves and turn the breakdown into a shitfight. Now Rasolea is out of 12 I reckon the backline will work a lot better, at least until Grant comes on and starts kicking everything. I don't think McCalman has been nearly as...

When I heard it on the news they said Polota-Nau and "Robertson" had gone down and I immediately thought that scrum training had got a little too enthusiastic. So to hear that its Robinson is a relief of sorts. THP's are not easily replaced, wingers however....

Gaffney knows rugby. I'm not so sure he'd be in favour of the Highlanders incessant kick and chase game though.

Dislocated shoulder is not a one week injury. I bet he's just about as thrilled as Kerevi was; this could seriously dent his Wallaby chances, to say nothing of our Super Rugby run home. Fuckity fuck fuck fuck indeed!

That is ridiculously cheap to see the world's top two referees.

Its the Cheetahs. Their scrum has improved from a low base but you're talking about a team that dished up the Stormers up front! And I am more and more impressed with Robertson each week. Who knew he would be this good this quick!

If you mean the Chiefs/Clan game I agree 100%. If the Highlanders lose I think they will be close to missing a finals spot. Although they have the Jaguares and Kings away they should win both, but they could easily lose every other match. Naholo is back, which will help. If the Chiefs lose...

Interesting to see Nanai gets another start now that Rieko is off to sevens. The bloke has played really well but seems to have been regularly dropped despite that. There must be some off-field reasons because Tevita Li has certainly not set the world on fire!

Fox have a website that allows you join (I think) even if you don't have Fox and they do put up a smattering of full replays each week.
