Again, as the custodians of the game the IRB are protecting the image of the game and want to been seen as taking serious action against acts that could result in serious and permanent injury. In that context, it's intervention in both these cases is totally comparable.

That Gill steal at the line-out was just freaking unbelievable. The last time I saw something that made me jump off the couch like that was the McCaw pilfer he got while being flipped over the top of someone. Just a moment of sheer brilliance.......I'm close to tears just thinking about these...

Yeah, that's fair enough. Still, Israel Folau is probably the only player I mite consider before Beale right now.....

some things are actually more meaningful than sport......

The French probably wish that someone had told Ma'a Nonu and Aaron Smith this before our series with them.....

Man.....some of you really are bitter. That was a great game to watch. A really really great game to watch and some of you are acting like it was a loss. Some of you are saying that the better team lost. Some of you are saying that you won only because of some individual brilliance. Guess...

That's a massive bow you're drawing. Beale was very good last week, he has proven his value in the past and it would be hard to argue that there are many players available better than him. You'd start Mogg over him? And it wasn't only Beale dropping the ball. There was Douglas dropped right...

Every guy (and girl) on here who has played the game knows this shit though. Every forward on these pages knows how to support the ball runner, protect the ruck, maintain possession etc etc. Same as the backs - they all know how to catch a ball, how to carry into contact e.g.. the basics.They do...

Wow....another great game to watch. Mrs Bullrush and were jumping outta the couch and fist-pumping a couple of times in that game but the Gill steal at the line-out pretty much launched me directly off the lounge suite and about 2 feet clear in the air via the power of sheer amazement and...

I think it's great. They are appealing to get the right result. The IRB are the custodians of the game and as they did with Adam Thompson, they are intervening to protect the image of the game. It certainly is not a good look on the game to have someone stomp 3 people this year, the last one...

Highlanders v Crusaders, Forsyth Barr Stadium, Dunedin – Saturday 29 June, 7.35pm.1. Tony Woodcock (122) 2. Andrew Hore – captain (138) 3. Ma’afu Fia (21) 4. Brad Thorn (104) 5. Josh Bekhuis (68) 6. Jarrad Hoeata (44) 7. Elliot Dixon (13) 8. Mose Tuiali’i (74) 9. Fumiaki Tanaka (11) 10. Colin...

426 for the round with 2 players not playing. And looking OK for this week as well - hopefully I'll have all 15 players back depending on who gets selected in a couple of teams.....

^^Itz not your fault.....it's Mal Meninga's....lol

As a loosie myself I understand the purpose of it. I never really got the 'macho' crap around it (for lack of a better word).......it's just stamping on someone. No skill or ability needed.

I think the change in playing balls was quite significant for kicking as well.....

I really don't get the joy and excitement people seem to get over rucking. You either stomped on someone lying helpless on the ground or you were the getting stomped on. Wow. That's so tough?!? Me.....I prefer getting a good hit on in a tackle and stopping someone dead in their tracks or...

Quuensland's everywhere!!

I would definitely start with Youngs this week. From the little I've seen him play, I've been pretty impressed.

I haven't taken a lot of time to think about it but it seems pretty spot on at first glance......I like it anyway...

NO!! I have much much more wrath and fury.....enough for at least another 32 pos...... yeah nah....I'm done... :)
