Not under the new engagement protocols. Crockett is far more effective.

A little inside joke that Blue would appreciate as a reader of the fern. And if you must know it was red tomato with a little bit of black pepper.....

Agree Blue. Giteau has really shone this season. It didn't happen overnight as some sarcastically have said in this thread, and it's not because the opposition or competition is rubbish, it's happened because he seems to be playing with that freedom that was a feature of his in the...

Not sure of the To'omua is a 12 talk. He is a genuine 1st 5 in my eyes and I think what the Wallaby selectors have done (smartly IMO) has played him at 2nd 5 to get him into test rugby. It's been a good move because once To'omua cracked the starting lineup there was an established 10. Plus he's...

Forget the EOD poster, if I was the Tahs or any of the other OZ sides I'd be firing out a 20 second ad with images of Horwill's post game interview, in the lead up to the next derby. "WEEZ WAZ ROBBED" [Insert image] "QLD rugby - do they ever stop whinging" :)

I think White needs an opportunity to start. His form this year has overall been superb. He's been in the Wallaby setup and seems to have improved his game. Genia has been so hit and miss this year, even when the Reds have had front foot ball. Genia is one of the team leaders I suspect and he...

Understand the sentiment, but probably not a great idea given the injuries that have occurred thus far in the season. With the longer season, sometimes the body just needs a bit of a break and the bye provides it. What I think they could do is get out to the local clubs and do a bit of promo...

No it doesn't. He could've easily said "we are going to have a good hard look at it and will answer questions/make a statement thereafter".

I think you're jumping at shadows there TWAS. I said that Horwill showed a lack of class with those post game comments. Nothing more nothing less. Not sure if Henry said it was fixed, but he was critical of the ref, and yes he was rightly IMO criticised for going the ref. I didn't like them...

You can be passionate about the game and still carry yourself with a bit of class. I thought Horwill showed a real lack of it after that game.

The first 15 minutes is better rugby than the poo dished out in the first game tonight. Go Rebels.

Our backline in that tournament was 9. Perenara 10. Anscombe 11. Puitau 12. Sopoaga 13. Saili 14. Scott 15. Barrett That was a good tournament. I remember the final was quite an intense game. I think it was Anscombe's try and conversion in the last few minutes that sealed the win. One of...

Great write up SuperGrover. There is a player that those in Canterbury and Crusader land are watching with real interest and that is Richie Mo'unga. Another 1st 5 from the region that has real promise. With Hickey more than likely to get the 1st 5 gig given his S15 experience, Mo'unga may be...

Not bad tigerland. A couple of comments, Ben Smith is a certain starter now and he and Savea are a damaging combination. The AB coaches love Dagg's kicking game and he is rock solid under the high ball coming forward. He still has some work ons, but he's what they like at the back. If Cruden...

Great 2nd half Saders.

96-19 great memories

Sam Whitelock such a smart player.

No plan B.... Defensive line is very disjointed

Blame the NRL for the Foxtel stuff up. Not a bad game so far. Saders falling back to their stupid mistakes in attack. Lee-lo still being introduced to the team it seems. Not reading the play well at all.

Congratulations highlander35, surely a new forum record, 7 straight posts in the one thread having a whinge about the ref. The Conrad try might be a shot for try of the year. Had everything, show and go, counter attack and line breaks, excellent ruck work, a cross field kick on the money and...
