I don't think any NH internationals would come to the Tahs because they'd get less money and they'd be giving up any chance at playing in the 6 nations. Off the top of my head can't think of any quality hookers off contract at the end of this season in the NH that the Tahs should go after.

I think POM is a lot of potential, but he is a completely different player to Ferris. I'm not so sure 6 is his best position either just doesn't have the raw physicality of a Ferris, Smith or Kaino, he strikes me as more of a Tom Croft (except actually good and not Stephen Jones' jiz rag). He is...

Ferris when he is fit is the best blindside in the NH, he is a freak of nature unfortunately always seems to get niggley injuries. He was very badly used by Kidney, he was flogged relentlessly when fit when he should have bene given 60 minutes against the big teams rested against Italy, Scotland...

He is awesome once he gets up a head of steam! He will need to be used well for the Lions to make an impact. Ireland have used him woefully in recent times, if the Lions get the ball 2 passes away from the ruck quickly and get SOB running at JOC (James O'Connor), Cooper etc he could do some serious damage

Where is TPN said to be going? Can't imagine him going to another Aussie team so I assume he is chasing $$$ in France or Japan?

He has said he wants everyone available for the first tour game, which I believe clashes with the Top 14 semi finals. This would rule out Armitage, Wilko and Jenkins I'd assume. Not sure the first two would have toured anyway but I'd imagine Jenkins will be the first call up in the event of an...

Mrs JSRF10 is out of town for the weekend so I'm up for a few beers before this one. I'll do my best to save all petty chatter for the occasion.

I think SANZAR can get some stick this. The AFL is confident enough in its own game to clash with rugby, they've scheduled several Eagles/Dockers games to clash with Force games and now they are doing the same in Sydney. In fairness if your a casual sports supporter are you going to watch the...

I think Sundays game wasn't back to the "traditional" Munster way of playing they just played Pennys game very well and actually used their centres properly. The only downside is that it gives the English clubs more power at the negotiating table as us sneaky Paddies and those pesky Frogs have...

Good win for Sydney Irish in their first game on Saturday, beat Fairvale 42-10 I believe. Speaking to a few of the lads on Saturday night and they're hoping for a couple of hundred in Coogee for the first home game this weekend.

Will the invisible one be back for the Rugby Championship? If not who would most people see as his replacement? Would have to fancy Matt Todd at myself, but hard to pick a 7 let alone their first 15!

I wonder who will get the blame this week for another sub 15k crowd? Will it be the weather or that Bye just aren't a big enough draw?

Even though it hasn't worked for Wales against the Wallabies this is exactly what I see Gatland doing, at this stage I'd wager the 3 9's will be Phillips, Youngs and Murray. One player who'll be struggling to make the plane has to be Robshaw. Once again when the going got tough he was no where...

Great organization all round! I'll probably have to walk to this, given I couldn't get on a bus from Bondi Junction when we were playing the Force I won't even bother trying for this one.

Big winner from this weekend could be Munster and Ireland half back Conor Murray. Out played Danny Care yesterday in the Heineken Cup and looked very composed and nearly always made the right decision. Slows the game down a tad too much for my liking but Gatland likes big, physical 9's so Murray...

POC, what can you say, second only to Martin Johnson in the professional era as a leader. Robshaw showed that when his team is under the pump he is nowhere to be seen. Most of all delighted for Rob Penny, he has taken a lot of stick this season but lets be honest Munster don't have the squad to...

He is making a late run for sure, the only problem is the favourite for the 10 jersey will be fit next week, can Schmidt get them both in side? Would like to see Madigan get a go at 12 if Sexton as straight back in at 10. If anything just so he can learn from Sextons game control. Disappointed...

Is anyone watching the Fox coverage? Just saw Michael Foley in the middle of a ruck in warm up, is it just me or did he look like he was chatting to himself about how if they got beat on the scoreboard, they'd win on the stats.

Very disappointed not to get anything, silly mistakes costing us again! We're definitely a work in progress but we're moving forward. Lucas deserves a go next time, McKibben's passing is woeful. Well done Savea Jr, have the Kiwis found a replacement for McCaw?

white line fever from Hooper there, probably would have been better taking contact
