This interpretation is for Super Rugby only.

IMO the Brumbies need to beat a few of the top SA and NZ teams before they can take this title. A win over a depleted Reds team in Canberra is a good start but 1 win doesn't make a season.

Does anyone else think that Kingston may get Turner's wing spot for the first game?

Can you please check the Cheetahs v Stormers in Round 8 and the Chiefs v Hurricanes in Round 18?

I think 7pm

Waratahs A play Fiji A on 1 March at SFS as a curtain raiser to Tahs v Rebels. About 5pm ko I think.

I am not sure that you can define referees by picking out incidents where they made mistakes as all referees will make them. I also don't think you can use subjective situations like the penalty try that you refer to. I am a Tahs fan and I don't think that they should have received a penalty...

IMO, too many discussion threads turn into a discussion about a national 3rd tier competition. I think there needs to be a dedicated thread for this and discussion on it should be discouragaged in other threads (like schoolboy scholarships). It annoys me when I go to read the Shute Shield 2013...

unless he goes on a 1 year contract, he will not be back for 2015.

I would have thought Barnes is a chance.

Is there an Outlook calendar download available for all Super rugby matches? (Lions tour would be good too).

Wasn't the issue with Piukala that he was already capped for Tonga which meant that he could only be picked up as a marquee player?

Yes. In short, the State unions run development squads and referees progress through Subbies, Colts and then to Grade. The ARU runs the National Squad. The national Squad are appointed as referees and also ARs/TJs for Super Rugby and they also referee international tour games and schoolboy...

It will be very interesting to see if he can recover from a hip replacement.

A lot of exits this year - both Lawrences, Marius Jonker, Keith Brown & Ian Smith.

Did he miss last season?

of course the ironic thing about this comment is the Waratahs scored more tries than the Reds in the 2011 Super Rugby regular season.

I get your point Bruce but I wonder if today it would be cheaper and more effective to do this via Facebook, Twitter, weekly email to subscribers and/or via Green and Gold. I also think it might be too late by Saturday morning to provide options for the day ahead.

Hopefully his story is more like Dave Dennis, who also had 2 back to back knee recons, than Al Kanaar.

Sorry to be pedantic but I don't think a GF has ever been played at Homebush and I am certain that it was not in the year of the Olympics. I suspect it was the SFS.
