Welcome Raugeee, I'm not sure I 100% agree with you, but I DO feel that non-neutral referees has been a disaster. Too much pressure on the refs, and they start reffing badly.

I only watched the first half. The ref seemed to blow the whistle every single ruck. Although with the Crusaders, that's probably justified. ;)

Here's the DuPlessis footage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmXOx84qdCc Note the no.4 trying to elbow him in the head as well.

From 3 years running this place I learnt a few things. The most obvious is that if a poster's first post starts a new thread with a strange name and contains a rant, you've got some work to do.

I've had another think about this. (And I'm sure you're relieved to know that I'm still working on the problem). I reckon this appointment is about JON re-signing stars post RWC11. They like Deans, they don't want a new coach who might give them all the sack. However, if we do BADLY in the...

Make-up sex? I'm out. As far as rankings are concerned, AUS, RSA, ENG, FRA are all very close. NZL well ahead. My own theory is that Link does his best work in his first year as coach. I reckon he'd be handy against the B&I Lions, but just before a RWC would be good, too. As for Deans'...

Tah fans and others - we have to agree that the ambition for the Tahs is winning SuperRugby. We have come 2nd and 3rd and 4th enough times. The bar (for me) is set at 1st and that's what I'm judging them on. It's harsh, but it's time. We have the piggies to get us there. I doubt that they're...

No, Burgess was not good. We don't need another loose forward, we already have 3! We need a haflback to throw the ball in front (rather than behind and above the head) of his fly-half. Barnes doesn't help things by not running onto the ball. As I said on the blog page, I worry that the 9-10-12...

I use this site. Its legality is 50/50. They charge a subscription fee, like $10/month or something, but there are dodgy legal disclaimers all over it. Since it's not CLEARLY illegal, I'll put it up for others to make up their mind. www.streampro.tv

naza, if G&GR isn't providing the critical insights into rugby that you yearn for, can I suggest the Colo? Those blokes really know what they're talking about, whether it's buggery or mutual masturbation, or who's the biggest poofter. Oh, wait a minute, you have 100,000 posts over there, you...

Gits has been put in this position of some hatred by a couple of coaches who should have dropped him on his arse long ago. Game after game Robbie let Gits run across field and kill the Wallaby backline. We've got terrific options all through the backs and Giteau has suffered more screaming at my...

According to Ladbrokes and Centrebet, only 5 teams are in it: 1. NZL 2. AUS 3. RSA 4. ENG 5. FRA Interesting that both rate ENG ahead of FRA. I wouldn't have, prior to last weekend. Anyway, sorry, back to the 6N.

France did just enough against Eire. Thought the Irish deserved all those penalties, could have got 10 minutes, too, they were slowing the French ball down a lot. Mind you, I'm a French supporter, so perhaps not unbiased. The only team to play well twice is bloody England.

Scotland v Wales: I didn't dare stay out on the streets of Edinburgh after that game. Scottish rugby supporters know how to enjoy their losses (they have too) but that was a completely shitawful display. They had the pill 2 to 1, but couldn't do anything with it, and when they did, dropped it...

I just figured out your username.

As an aside, the SBW info sounds suspect. Boxers have pretty bloody low body fat. And SBW looked totally ripped when boxing.

You know, I'm torn on this issue. On the one hand, I do genuinely believe that Kaplan is biased against Australia in a way that he probably doesn't even realise, and also that Bryce Lawrence is not fit to ref under 7s. On the other hand, I hate it when every post-match discussion becomes a...

cyclo - thank you for that video. I've been drinking heavily and now I'm freaking out. Quick - lock the door, The Crabs! The Crabs! All the video doesn't show is The Crab offloading to his centre 1 metre from touch. What's weird is that Deans would keep picking him. If it was me, I'd be like...

sud - settle the debate, how did your avatar play? (and were you at the Stade?):nta:
