The pinnacle, oft times sitting on it and rotating... One does have to marvel at a number of 'huh?!' moments in that little gem.

Oh sweet. But :nta: is ITM Cup aka NPC aka Air NZ Cup? How can I keep up if it keeps changing? I think it would be great if somehow NZRU steered him towards the Highlanders or somewhere that could use the talent, but I can understand why Crusaders' fast-track talent development would appeal all...

You said it :yay

Fixed :)

I couldn't agree more. The question is, do you a) send in the laughing stock (Cowan), or b) send in the kid with potential who could be forever scarred by the experience. Or c) just pray? And re Daley, given I pumped for him to be included if he was >50% fit, I have no right to comment.

Well, Tahs life membership is the equivalent of this, really, and costs ~ the same, but doesn't have the benefits above. If you figure for the jersey, it's a comparative bargain! And yes, the fucktard pricing is the second reason I've let my Tahs life membership lapse (behind sheer incompetent...

I was specifically referring to the article above that, where Baxter ought to be in there, even Williams mentioned bringing him in, but Robbie, aided by some media, is very short-sighted re:scrummaging.

Haha classic! I'm in favour of Moses' double jeopardy system. I find this more amusing and typical than shocking, really.

Oh, sorry if that last post was a bit long and quotey, I'll edit it if you yell loud enough.

I think he's considerably stronger at THP, no doubt at all in my mind it's his strongest position. He was being raped and pillaged at LHP against Fiji, and all through the S14... Sigh. I think some people have quickly forgotten more recent history:

Yes :D I s'pose you do make a fair point, but 51% fit in your own position you can still potplant (injury type pending). So we're agreed let's just go for Tilse, as a rookie with little recent experience who until the arse end of the S14 had never been more than 51% fit?

I agree that it was close to his best for the Wobblies - but that's using an awfully low baseline. He was often in the right general area (hence your work rate comment) but his effectiveness was laughable. He had no physicality to his play, didn't progress the ball a whole lot, and even shied...

Burgo will keep his spot, I reckon, for his defence. What use is silky (well, less bumpy!) service to the backs if England's forwards prance through our shit ruck defence all night? Front row has me fucked. No idea what to do now. If Daley >50% fitness I'd throw him out there, with...

3. Sharpe 2. Ioane 1. Beale Like a few others, special mention to Horney. And I thought one of the Ma'afus was meant to be playing for us?...He's lucky to be the 'Bradbury prop' really. Can't quite believe I've seen Brown in the 3.2.1s here, he was appalling. Oh, and I would like to...

I'm in!

You speak French eh? I do hope that Campese and Salesi go head to head, that will be très amusant. On that note, an awful lot of boys from France. That would appear to be surprisingly close to full strength wouldn't it? Only two Aus club players is surprising, but less so if a bunch of guys...

Do we have any word on the makeup of the Fijian team? Any G&G snouts in the camp, perhaps? Also, I saw one poster believes Caucau is now 130kgs? That would be about 25kgs above his playing weight and likely an excitement killer.

Re: Victorian Rebels 2011 He got through 40 whole minutes of club rugby today without being (significantly and irreparably) injured once! :yay

Re: Wallabies v Fiji, Canberra Just checked, gates open 6pm for 730 kickoff so doubt there's a curtain raiser...

Re: Wallabies v Fiji, Canberra Who ate all the pies?! I'll be coming down from Kiama in the afternoon...sitting on the Eastern side if that makes a difference to proximity? :'( But I'm not from Canberra...so I'll pretend to be a ring-in.
