Agree Scrubber, I recall getting ko'd, went to the sideline, had a couple of stitches put in the back of my head, a bit of strapping around it and back on I went. The stupid thing in those days was, it was nearly cool to be able to say you could remember nothing of the second half! Frightening...

I agree with many here, the Godwin thing puzzles me. He had a very promising debut season, but really nothing since. Even in the NRC last year he was very pedestrian. I thought there were a few positives for the Brumbies. Fardy had a very strong game (still never fails to give away a couple of...

KOB, I really want to see Foley at 10 before suggesting the centres need changing (not saying you're wrong, just want to see how it works). If it could be made to gel, Simone and Folau could be pretty devastating in the mid-field. If not I agree, Folau back to FB.

A little concerned about no Foley this week. Hegarty didn't seem to be able to bring Simone and Folau into the game at all last week. Let's hope it was just the conditions and a few first game jitters!

I thought Robbo was pretty good on both sides. Our scrum was on parity until Kepu was binned, then we got our 7 man scrum hammered, but even then it seemed to be Lolohea's side that caved in. When Robbo switched and Ryan came, it was Ryan's open side that had problems (although he did reverse...

Amirite, I'm not suggesting you have to be an activist to disagree with a law. Simply that if you don't like a law, you are never-the-less obliged to obey it. If you really believe it should be changed, do something about it, don't just break it. I also don't accept that someone who takes...

This is simple, it's illegal. It's the same if he was caught drink driving or any other offence. I don't care how many people do it (not that many in my circle, but maybe I just move in the wrong circles), you are breaking the law. If you don't like the drug laws (and there are some pretty good...

Conditions that suited the Force, tahs weren't able to get their backs going at all. Tahs starting front row were good, but neither Ryan nor Lolohea give me much confidence in the scrum at this point. As some have said, it talk Tahs 40 minutes to realise it was wet and start to play accordingly...

By the way, Horwitz got a Waratah contract in 2014, and made his Super Rugby debut last year, so I don't know where the five years comes from. That's three years with a contract, and one season with 13 caps, mostly off the bench, of super rugby.

Kellaway and Horwitz are 21 and 22 respectively! You guys are writing them off already? Amazing.

Scrubber, I agree with you tactically, however I think young Simone may take a bit of the pressure off Folau. From what I've seen of him, any move to focus too heavily on Folau and leave Simone and Foley alone could be perilous!

I thought Skelton was all right against the Clan. I was really disappointed in him last year, however he's only 24, haven't given up on him yet. We don't lose a lot if Hegarty replaces Foley, he's been outstanding in the trials. As to Horwitz, again, the guy's only 22, I'm not ready to write...

Forget facts, this is the Trump era, the days of the alternative truth! Bloody facts, you're so 2016!!!

Tahs by 5 If they defend like they did in the first half against the Clan, Force by 10!

Yes, I think it's a much better Force side than last year. If Lance can stay fit the backs will work, I think their problem is depth. An injury to TPN, Lance (let's face of it, both have injury form), Adam Coleman or DHP would make a huge hole. However, we face them with all these guys...

I thought Wells had been pretty good, and I'd have him ahead of Wilkin at this stage, which means a starting berth against the Force with Holloway out. For mine Lucas is ahead of Gordon, and I think Hegarty has been outstanding in both trials, and for mine would start at 15. My side is...

NSW rugby and the Warartahs, previously two completely different organisations, have been merged into one under Andrew Hore's leadership. As I understand it all NSW clubs will now have the right to wear the NSW emblem underneath their own club emblem. That's certainly what happened with the...

I think the reality is, some props are comfortable either side, others at one or the other. For example, Benn Robbo was always a loose head, whereas Kepu started at loose head and turned into a pretty good tight head. Paddy Ryan is an interesting case, always a THP coming up, but now seems far...

I understand from a kid who was at school with him that he broke his neck. I think he is okay from a life point of view, but don't know if he'll play rugby again.

And yes, after Horwitz came off Simone moved to 12
