I think it's kind of specious reasoning to say QC (Quade Cooper)'s defence is shit so drop him until it improves. What player, observer, journalist or coach in Australia did not know when QC (Quade Cooper) was picked that his defence was beyond awful? It's a know defect, caveat emptor and all that jazz. The team basically...

Link? I thought Joubert was predictably lax around the ruck area and we should have taken more opportunities to, as RF mentions, get up offside, lie on the ball etc. But I don't think he significantly impacted the outcome. I might review that opinion if I can see the Pocock incident.

I guess I should specify JOC (James O'Connor) was adequate if you exclude his shite kicking. You can put him in the shit group if you want but it mucks up my proportions :D

Those bitching about the refereeing last night are way off base. There is no such thing as a perfect refereeing performance but Joubert was respectable and reasonably consistent. We again failed to adapt very well to those interpretations but that lies with us, really. Gits definitely deserved...

Completely agree with Kev's ban, personally. He's a smashing player (no pun intended) but that was out of line and the cameras caught it very clearly from several angles. Four weeks is appropriate. How the sheep in Pom's clothing got off I'll never know - oh wait, RFU runs the IRB, I forgot.

Poor bugger - as Reg says it's a topic that'll be discussed elsewhere but congrats on a great career. You'd say that's why NSW went after Cross rather than him, certainly vindicates their decision.

Hey Cyclo/Naza, do you have footage of the alleged incident? Missed it live.

Not true - at least not all the time. I'd like to see Davies in the tour games, but even Reds fans have some issues with his defence. I think regardless of fitness AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) is above Horne in the OC pecking order, and fully-fit Chambers might challenge too. Sharpe is so obviously ahead of any other...

Overreaction. He made a couple of seriously dumbshit plays, but then a steady head beside him could tell him to pull it back a notch. He missed a bunch of tackles. Wow. We totally didn't know he'd do THAT. He was highly involved and had an active hand in all four tries and other threatening...

He's a really fucking good winger. See Bled III or pretty much any Tahs game in the last couplea years.

I respect your cynical criticism, Newt, but Mitchell's second effort after that created a turnover, he made other crucial tackles and scored a bonza try. Jizz was fairly ordinary (although you've picked on his only lineout error), but Van hasn't proved himself up to this level - let him perform...

Like Muttonbird and a few others I disagree with the last paragraph. Other than that, fair enough, you're entitled to your opinion - that's why there's a poll going. But you can cite one moment in poor conditions over half a dozen years of dominating all-comers as much as you like, as a forward...

The difference for me is that Lomu could have a massive impact on any ground, in any conditions, against any opponent and defensive style in the world. Put each on a fast dry track in broken play and CauCau would eat Jonah for lunch, but it's the consistent brilliance against the best that gets...

None of that will matter diddly shit - whilst ever they (the administration) treat members like giant dollar signs, and continue to undervalue their fealty, loyalty and passion for the Tahs, member numbers and attendance will slide regardless of results, and with them sponsorship dollars...

Fixed :)

Good on them. I reckon from everything we've heard out of WA over the last season or two it's best for all concerned. The question is how will the wobs ever cope without Graham :lmao:

What is Jizz doing starting? If he was going to mix it up in the second row he could at least have chucked in Simmons (you know, the developing young talent). The other two changes I agree with completely. I suspect Moore and Fainga'a will play reasonably even minutes, though you never know with...

I think that was his point, mate.

Other states? What other states? :D

What a joke. Jannie Lubbe, you are a clown. This is all a conspiracy to make sure the best looking country of the 3N gets more distracted than James O'Connor in a room full of mirrors and forgets to pack their A-game when they pack for South Africa. With their confidence destroyed, Bakkies will...
