McCaw who??

The game as a spectacle was marred by an over pedantic Steve Walsh being far too whistle happy. He should remember that the game is for the players to highlight their skills, not the referee. But other than for that, SW was fair in his reffing. Some of the calls came from the assistant referees.

Is Big Kev a starter for this match? And will Kurtley Beale also play with his troublesome shoulder?

Hmmmm.. I hope Links is bringing out his wet weather strategy manual. There are heavy showers here in Brisbane now, and radar shows a lot more coming. Might be an end to the open game.

So you rate Smith over Tuilagi for England who is massive in breaking opposition back lines.

Higgers has another big advantage - he can run like the wind, I've seen him often outpace centres.

I'm sure the Reds would be aware of their defense short comings against the Waratahs, and knowing what a threat the Hurricanes have in their backs, I'm sure the coaching this week would have a lot of emphasis on that department.

Don't apolgize Tranquility, I hadn't seen it before and it is a good time to give Gaggers an opportunity to see it before Aiden's return to Super15

TD, you can come out from hiding in the corner now - Quirky has said all is forgiven and that your comments actually stirred his game up. (Just jesting)

The thing that concerns me with having 3rd tier teams that are Super 15 Australian conference 'B'teams, is that from a potential fans point of view, they will be completely overshadowed by the main Á' team. There won't be any tribal following. These 'B'teams could definitely be sponsored by the...

I'm a bit nervous about the "9. TJ Perenara,10. Beauden Barrett" combination of halves. Ben Lucas is going to need to be right on top of his game. And will Cooper stay at fly half in defense is the big question?

Yeah, I like this set of backs for the potential speed it brings into the Reds play. And I think that's going to be needed against the Hurricanes. I hope its a dry track.

You obviously didn't see the article by Wayne Smith today in The Australian: There doesn't seem to be much call in Australian rugby for a 191cm, 108kg blindside flanker. Yet put the suggestion to McKenzie that Quirk is too small to play Test football in the position he occupied for Queensland...

So, my Reds team against the Hurricanes would be: 1 Slipper 2 Hanson 3 Holmes 4 O'Donoghue 5 Simmons 6 Quirk 7 Gill 8 Shatz 9 Lucas 10 Cooper 11 Ioane 12 Tapuai 13 Chris Feauai-Sautia 14 Shipperley 15 Morahan 16 Fainga'a Saia 17 Anae 18 Horwell/AWH 19 Samo 20 Frisby 21 Fainga'a Ant 22 Harris...

You'd probably get a good price for ticket & accomodation from a Mardi Gras fan. You could probably get more than you paid- a kiss & a cuddle

Qwerty51, are you sure you're not Inside Shoulder as well?

From how I saw a replay, it looked to me as though they ran into each other, with AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) coming off second best. This is the first time I have lost some respect for Cheika - like a little boy crying because someone took his lollies. He accused Harris of a shoulder charge and reckons he should be...

Apparently he goes on a Binge whenever QC (Quade Cooper) plays well - he'll be back

Com'n fellas, where's the MONGREL amongst the fans. For a starter, the Waratahs forwards might be big, but they're really a mob of powder puffs. A few hard tackles will sort them out and make them wish they were south of the Tweed. Their halves are untried together and will drop more ball than a...
