TH lock will be ok when we get Horwill back. I wouldn't be opposed to retaining Douglas to combine with him. I'm not anti Simmons like some but I'm not opposed to a change. Horwill and Douglas did combine fairly well in the Lions series. This maybe complete bullshit and I way off the mark...

I agree with Brumbieman abut cutting all the bitching as we won a tough one. Nick White had a good game. Sully is right to critique some of his kicking though. Given this was his debut run on start I would have no hesitation grading him a distinction for his performance. Genia now has...

Put this into perspective. Shit ground, lesser ranked side in world rugby and shitty weather. Now compare this to the best rectangular stadium in the country, second ranked nation in the world and fine weather. The Brisbane crowd last week was more disappointing than the Perth one this week.

A big lesson about last night is the team dynamic. When you have somebody like Bizmark, you can field the big back row. The lesson is more about the role being performed rather than the number on the jersey. Etzebeth is really agile for a big bloke. In that sense he reminds me of James...

That's fair. All provinces have them. How I see it is the Wallabies problem is in the forwards. The Brumbies have something to offer here. The way their pack is coached. Lord Laurie has done a fine job on the finer details. The Brumbies had a truly skillful pack with attention to...

Try asking a Queenslander. I'm not from Queensland mate.

Man your so fucking blind it's pointless reasoning with you. But I will try as it is a slow day. Point 4 you have claimed is more stupid than a 5th generation inbred. He has plenty of vision, he has it in spades. He has his faults and have I no intention of building him up as the messiah...

Kepu was bad no doubt but Beast was sensational also. He was able to get under Kepu all night and when the shove came, he had no answer. Time time of the Bokke shove was really fell executed also. They have a bloody good lock pairing at current. It is time to move Slipper over to TH, Give...

Hard pill to swallow for Wallabies fans but that was a bloody good game from the Bokke and well done. Your scrum looks right on the money. Best it has been for years. You played the set piece to set piece game that suits you really well and dictated the pace of the game all night. Your...

where are your strengths Paarl. this is where the Bok might trouble the Wallabies That big back row although a bit slow should be good for big gains up the middle. Your lineout has always been good and the mail that comes with it. I expect you boys will put the ball out lots to exploit...

Good looking team this week. That back line is the best we have seen for some time. Tamani being sent to Perth is a shocker in my view. We are essentially looking for a reserve lock so it would be great to throw Sam Carter a bone and give him a chance I think he has earned in the last two...

Good evening kind sir. Can I take you Tamana Tahu and raise you a Nathan Blacklock? :)

I will be very interested to see how Ben goes under the new scrum laws. Those award choices are good. Congratulations to the winners.

Not at all. Some of the lower profile league converts have given great service to the Reds. The problem is that it has been at the back end of their careers. Schiftkoski (sorry about the spelling) and McKlindon gave very good value to the Reds. Sailor couldn't be considered a has been. He...

Hold on tiger. We are missing somebody to say there weren't enough Reds. :)

Lesson of the day is "who gives a stuff about what other people think of you". It don't matter in the big picture.

I am a Quade fan without doubt but I think McKenzie has stuffed the 10 selection royally. Quade should have started and To'omua introduced to international rugby via the bench. I am not saying that Quade is the long term answer but there is a lot of common sense in selecting the more...

We are not saints when it comes to cynical play. Our laziness in work ethic at the moment is contributing highly.

One other little thing I noticed about the All Blacks. Whitelock and Retallic look to form a fantastically balanced locking combination. Luetua covers the wide running option well and these blokes just formed a fantastic engine room. If Luke Romano sees another AB cap while these blokes are...
