I know what Foleys thinking. He knows that his style of play relies on scoreboard pressure. If the Force can stay within striking distance they can grind teams down. But the key to doing it is being close enough on the scoreboard and that requires a kicker making their kicks. The Grant signing...

How can Rutchie have them when they're in Mrs Pillocks purse? Can't be in two places at once.

One thing I like that Folau is bringing into his game is that he is hitting contact with more venom. When he started he would slide through gaps and if tackled just go to ground looking for a quick recycle. Last night once he got his shoulders through he was working really hard to break free...

So Nick McCardle, tell us all again about the potential all Aussie final

Go the Highlanders.

Tahs don't deserve to win it this year. Last year they were on a n upwards trajectory and got better all the way through. This year they have gone up and down with no discernible over all improvement.

Kearns back to his intolerable best.

Canes not competing at breakdown. Just realigning and getting back into the line.

Oh well, at least the Brums know rucking is only a penalty. Have at em boys.

Gutsy by Brums, but this is gonna get ugly. Canes are here to destroy.

Imagine seeing something like that on the Rugby Club. You'd shit from pure disbelief that they were talking actual rugby nitty gritty. I'm sure they considered it but it lost out to "Cannonballlll"

I was chatting with a SA born rep at work today. He told me he is supporting the Boks this RWC but it will be the last one. He is so disillusioned with SARU next year he is switching over to his adopted countries team. Pretty damning stuff.

Tahs don't have a chance. Force just offered a Captain/Coach contract.

I love Quade and am gutted to see him lost to Aus Super Rugby, but it I'm over all of the fucking around with his negotiations. It's this little drama every fucking time. Not to mention QRU backing him in every little fuck up along the way. I don't think it's rich for them to expect a little bit...

Heading east too, so jet lag going to be considerably worse. I suspect it is going to be a bridge too far and they will run out of puff in the last 20, ala 2013.

Decent seats at NIB for a Force regular season game (who am I kidding, like it could very be anything other than regular season) are $76 each.

Where are all the ebullient pre game Stormers fans? (cricket noises ........)

Ha, love the overconfidence from the Orc commentators pre game. Basically saying the baby blacks couldn't stand up to their forward pack. ABE. Post game the commentators humbly eat their pie as quietly as a Stormer supporter on the Brumbies/Stormer game thread post siren.

Like the Reds, you gotta think Kirwan is keeping his job as they haven't jettisoned the coach before season end and at least ridden a small wave of supporter goodwill from it.

I'd suggest on form this year DHP > JOC (James O'Connor).
