I hope its not too closely related. Contact+glandular fever =ruptured spleen.

Making oneself essential to the organisation is a good career move. Not so for Robert Maxwell Deans, the agent 86 of Australian Rugby. This cannot be his idea.

Ah. Time for another White Rabbit ale.

Most of us were surprised by the footage shown as the incident, though I understand different footage (of a different moment?) was part of the original process. I do feel sorry for Byrnes, victim of a terrible coincidence. What are the odds? His hands freakishly find their way to Carters face...

Until Link runs Radike on at 12. Apparently.

Agreed. As we eased into the Shorks game it looked like they would finally find some stability through 10 with Lucas, after Link gave Harris a generous look at 10. Now they start again. Exciting to see Murphy though.

Looks like the Japan Rugby Top League when you add the corporations.

Kudos to the shorks for the win, which I finally watched tonight. Re the reds: I saw a close loss away from home in atrocious conditions when they lost the starting and alternate 10, subsequently lost their attacking and defensive structure and had Genia miss consecutive penalties from...

Who's kicking this week?

Start Seymour. Stannard seems to have convinced himself that he is shit, it's become a self fulfilling prophecy.

Not that much. I feel for Woody. He looks like a kangaroo in the headlights of a fucking freight train.

Because it's funny.

As I understand it, if the player is behind the ball carrier, the test is whether it was intentional, rather than simply was Pocock impeded. Pocock ran into him, but as I saw it Ioane was just running behind/alongside in support. If he had been running in front of Taps or obviously...

Speaking of exposure, Ma'afu really does give the McDonalds golden arches logo significant screen real estate on his shorts. The Reds need a good thrashing for motivation. Their half-arsedness early in the second half was abysmal. As Redshappy et al have pointed out, Harris is the wallpaper...

Which one is Carter? Is it this guy?

I don't mind players celebrating their getting a try or even just completing a difficult task done well. Massive hit/turnover, great cover tackle. But as far as I'm concerned champions don't celebrate opposition errors, I don't see it in the people I class as champions and I think it puts you...

That may have been a bit of a mistake-fest at times, but there was intensity and real intent. Watching Palu and TPN in full flight again was just terrific.

Yeeeessss. It turns out just 8 men was a gross underestimate. I guess there is no real reason to have the captain come from the leadership group. Apart from the obvious ones.

If he gets to run on, it will be his second game. He had a tough outing against Toulouse weekend before last in the T14. I think Gits faces the same problems he did in the wallabies. He is obviously talented, but is he a better 10 than Wilkinson? And is his skill mix enough to win 12 over a...
