Very pleasing result from a team that keeps improving. The sort of thing we have seen from the backs in the last fortnight is exactly what they've been trying to do previously, but without the execution. I don't think the Stormers are a great side, but they are a hard-working one that will...

Have been offline for a couple of days, but Sandell's mother advised my wife Matt is now up to 108kg and still working hard building more. Certainly the Tahs coaching staff have made him well aware of their requirements. Too light now, yes, but as someone else said, he is a reasonably tall prop...

Loved the second half, but have to say a couple of the highly regarded Rebels were a bit ordinary, particularly Jones & Debreczeni. Was also surprised the scrum got belted. Thought Timani had a huge game, as did Hanson in the loose (scrum a worry). Thompson and Ellison showed their experience...

Tahs by plenty, go the TAHS!!!!

I'm pretty happy with that side except for Skelton in Lousi out. Sure the big fella gets a nice ball away, but at 140kg he should be bending the line and he just isn't. Not that I think Lousi has been brilliant, but at least he runs at a man like he means to get through him. I like the look of...

ForceFan, Hugh Roach, 23, 5th run-on appearance, Robertson, 21, 1st run-on, Dempsey, 22, 3rd run-on, Holloway, 23, 5th (I think) run-on, Kellaway, 20, 1st run-on, Horwitz, 21, has had 3 run-ons. Say what you like, fella, to me that's blooding a lot of exciting new talent!

Everything Barbarian says is spot on. Cheika's 2014 success had as it's foundation a forward pack that was absolutely monstering the other side, consistently over the advantage line in attack, knocking the opposition over behind it in defence. The reason it's not in evidence is that of the main...

By the way, on the controversial scrum penatly, I agree with another poster. The penalty was wrong, but the Brumbies were dumb not to use having been called to do so three times.

Looking at the match purely from a Tahs point of view for a moment, while still not good enough that was a huge improvement on the Rebels game. The handling was better (with plenty more room to improve), the scrum nearly gained parity (with Paddy Ryan and 2 kids against a Wallaby front row) and...

Ten of the Tahs 23 UNDER the age of 25, very exciting for the future!

I can't believe anyone thinks Gibson's job is on the line less than half way through hi first season. How long did the Reds hang on to Graham, or the Force Foley??? Give me a break

Well I think we can forget this year from a title point of view, which realistically was probably always the case given the personell we lost. Supporters were always hopeful (as I was) but aren't all supporters of teams at the start of a new season. However, all is not lost if we can improve...

I think the time has come for thr youngsters. Let's face it, this season is gone, the worst they can do is lose, but at least we'll be building something, don't know what we're losing with guys who have lost interest. I understand Beale will be available next game, bring him at 12, Stewart to...

I can't remember a worse performance of catching and passing by supposedly professional footballers, or for that matter under 12's. I don't know what it is, coaching, concentration, pure lack of ability, but that was so far behind super rugby standard it's hard to see it catching up. Folau had...

Just watching the Chiefs last night, it's exactly what the Tahs aspire to be but with accuracy. Both sides with a weak scrum, both sides with a rush defence but a few missed tackles as a result, but most importantly both sides trying to play fast, ball in hand, exciting rugby. The difference...

Thanks

I would love to see the two Robbos start, but don't think it will happen. If not, Ryan at TH, Tilse to the bench and T'avao nowhere. Personally, I like the idea of Beale to 15, Folau to 13 and Horwitz on. Not convinced he can't tackle yet, Inman will test him but at least he will know exactly...

Agree completely with dru. Ready gets the benefit of the doubt for me, didn't mean to do it (although I suggets probably could have avoided it if he'd wanted to ), fa'agase definitely deliberate, bloody lucky not to get a red. I wouldn't call it a classy performance by the Tahs, but BR's...

Straight after the game, a heap of random thoughts. Okay, there is no doubt in my mind now the two Robbos should start in the Tahs front row. Roach, well, the guy has to learn to throw into a line-out. I guess it was wet, so we'll give him the benefit of the doubt this week, but it looks like...

Highlanders are cetainly the real deal this year, 2015 was no fluke! Aaron Smith guides them around the park beautifully, one of the world's greatest rugby players at the moment. They play with great energy, and literally no-one ever misses a one-on-one tackle. A few things to like about the...
