Lack of match fitness suggested by John Roe. I think he would know.

Can only agree with you whatty. If what you hope for beomes reality, the best team on the night will win, and isn't that how it should be?!

Qwerty51, you obviously didn't see the thread mentioned above. I merely pointed out that stats-wise both were equal in their ability to score points at Super Rugby level (one point difference in tries and goals scored). At this early stage in his career, Harris is ahead of Beale at test level. Remember...

Not really! TOCC, you obviously missed the copious number of posts and stats. on a recent thread re the ability of either Harris or Beale to "win you a match".

I'm expecting a big game from Reds #12 Mike Harris, despite many GAGR posters saying he's "unworthy" of being compared to Kurtley Beale!!

TRB, you're lucky, sadly, my MIL is in a dementia facility and can't remember what day it is!!

For God's sake team, the past is the bloody past, which we can't control! Let's all be positive (but still parochial), and concentrate on two great teams playing the greatest game on Earth, in one of the greatest stadiums, on a great night which will give us great rugby/weather conditions...

Hey Brisbok, got to thank you and kiap for bringing this up, as the name Coetzee is very close to the name Coetzer (Amanda) the SA tennis player who I (and no doubt thousands of other heterosexual males around the world) were "in love with", during her tennis career! She was gorgeous!!! A good...

You're right Dan, but maybe they get "sighted" if they are seen live or on TV, whereas they get "cited" if the offence was heard on the radio!!!

Got to be one of the worst "tackles" I've seen! Can he be cited for a 'dangerous tackle', in that he raised himself above the horizontal and speared his head into the turf (with the assistance of the ball-carrier's left hand gripping the collar of his jumper)?!!

I'm glad QC (Quade Cooper) won't be appealing against the 1 week holiday if there was a chance of him getting "extra time" if the appeal was unsuccessful!

Hugh, I was just finishing a comprehensive reply when I pressed 'Del' instead of 'Back space'!!! Bugger, all that wasted time. Here is an abridged version! Points to note: 1. La Jarse is to be told that my lucky jocks are "Bonds" brand, and are therefoe available at any "reputable" clothing...

Hey WJ, thank you for 'enlightening' me. That's why I'm a member of this forum, because the opportunity exists for one to learn "rugby stuff" every day!! Are coaches from Shute Shield or Bris Vegas Premier Rugby comps excluded from "domestic coach of the year", if they bring a team from bottom...

Perhaps this thread could be split, with part (b) being: "Link or White for 2012 Australian Domestic Rugby Coach of The Year"?!

That was my first thought when I read the SANZAR report, ACR. We could arrange for an underground irrigation main to rupture on Friday night, requiring at least 24 hours to repair and allow the pitch to dry! Problem solved!!

That's my point L41! Bias works both ways and often goes against the person of one's "home" club, state, country, etc. Our rugby club on the GC had a member who was a ref, and whenever he ref'd or ran the line, he erred on the side of the opposing team, which is frustrating when you are the...

Yes emuarse, that's one of the benefits of living in a country that allows "freedom of speech"! BTW, I don't feel comfortable with a judiciary chaired by a Queenslander ruling on a case invoving a Queensland player, if that in fact is the situation here. It could give rise to the prospect of...

IMHO max. 1 week, min. YC and a caution. Now lets get on with the QFs!!

I would like to publicly admonish myself for the lack of faith displayed by me in uttering the above comment! I shall in future make sure such comments are weighted more towards optimism than realism!!
