When you add in Rocky Elsom and Nehe Milner-Scudder to this list it starts to look a bit more impressive: Six internationals I think All of them played Super Rugby And I still have very high hopes for Sam Lousi when he recovers and Lopeti Timani after another season.

Of all the things written in this thread, that has to be seriously the most depressing piece I've read. RG'd probably get more objective advice if his wife was put in charge!

No doubt alcohol induced memory failure because we won the Bledisloe back.

IMO, yes providing they come in at the second tier and then work their way up to the top via promotion/relegation. It will help those countries and provide a wider range of play for Currie Cup players who are looking to advance their careers to the next level.

Come close and speak very softly. Destructive runs are not the point of weakness. Savea has missed more tackles this year than he has nailed. He is missing roughly one in every two. If you watch the game again note how all his team mates flock to where he is on defence so they can cover for him...

Take a breather, guys. We haven't got to the RWC yet and you've got a real easy pool anyway. I have you odds on for a semi, come what may.

With all my heart I want a win in Auckland, just to get the monkey off our back. But my head says a close loss, <10 points. I don't think we have improved our execution enough yet to think we'll beat NZ at home. But gee, its nice to daydream.

If I understand your thought correctly, that might be true if Ten and Nine were rating roughly the same. But, if Ten is only rating 25-50% in those timeslots, then showing repeats of the Fox coverage two hours later might deliver close to the same ratings while substantially weakening their...

Those names really surprise me. If they missed the first fifteen maybe not too much shock, but not in the 31?

Caught the second half and thought it was a good entertaining match. But I do not understand why refs have all-of-a-sudden gone weak at the knees over not protecting the jumper from pushing and shoving while he is in the air. The one where Southland scored a try was absolutely blatant.

Don't expect the cramping to be a problem unless he has to come off the bench very early. He will be coming on fresh.

Here's a list (just off the top of my head) of good players that are regarded as hopeless in many parts of Australia: TPN, Horwill, Mumm, Simmons, Skelton, McCalman, Hooper, Phipps, White, Genia, Cooper, Foley, Giteau, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) (too slow, ball hog), Mitchell, Tomane, Horne, Beale. Any of them...

I assume du Preez is injured; wouldn't Kriel be a better choice at 15 as he's played there all year? Then maybe Serfontein at 12 and de Allende at 13? I know injuries have hit hard, but Kirchner has real limitations at 15.

Burgess is playing at 12. Or do you mean they have to cut eight players?

But I'm already wearing Specsavers! :)

Warning! Incoming.

Yes we can! It detracted from the game, which would have been much better without it. We got over their side of the ruck as they got over ours, but the aimless wandering that got in Phipps way was, to my eyes, a NZ special.

Hence my post.

Agreed. But if Genia is in France he can fly straight to England, get to the hotel and then report for duty 48hrs and one minute after call-up with no jetlag.

That tackler looks a great option to replace Todd Clever in the US RWC squad!
