Bryce is a shithouse ref, don't get me wrong. But I don't think that JO'N should have been upset at the ref for the Ireland game, he should have had the shits with the players for being beaten from pillar to post!

As much as some of us dislike the system the ARU has in place re: foreign based players, it's not like the player is unaware of the impact to aspirations of Gold when he departs our shores. I also think Burgess left too early. Had he not left, there is every possibility that he would be...

Interesting idea, however I am more concerned about how people are finding this page.. Anyway, lets not derail the thread.

I think this pretty much sums up Richie when it comes to post match interviews. I have always found him to be quite diplomatic when speaking after a game. It's not like he gets out and says "yeah, we fucking rolled them yet again. This is getting too easy for us now". He also is not going to...

I am not saying that he should never play again. Why would you play him against the All Blacks first game back from injury though? Let the guy build back into the game. Take him on the spring tour, give him some minutes to get fitness and gametime conditioning back. Playing him against the All...

And what good would Palu do us if he re-injures himself early in the game?

I am also not sure why Mitchell, Palu and Kepu are doing there. For their own sake, I hope they are not included in the 22. Playing guys who have just recovered (or still recovering) from injury in the final match before a spring tour is a silly thing to do. The risk of re-injury, especially...

You got his first name wrong there mudskipper. It should be Jordaan.

I have just received word as to who will be replacing JO'N:

I just saw the article on this.. better chill the bubbly! If the reports are true, and JO'N stands down at the press conference, I wonder who will assume the top job? What does this mean for Robbie? What will Nuci do? Who will have the shits, and who will be rejoicing? Will the total structure...

Blue, I'm pretty sure that the Mongolians got stonewalled too.

He makes himself an easy target: He is the captain of a team that always beats us.

Interesting prospect there BH. If he is taking a year off, maybe we should break his legs in the hope that he will get taller.. every little bit helps!

I think rather than actual pilfering, it is the ability to be an absolute pest at the breakdown. Hooper is good at it, but Pocock is a right pest at the breakdown. That is why he is so heavily targeted now. Given time, Hooper will be targeted in much the same way. How both players adapt to...

Where is Ben Viljmoen?

Maybe the time has come for:

You had to do it, didn't you? Well then, here is my 2 cents worth. If Ma'afu can't get a run at 10 (like I have been advocating for), then I would like to see what he has got at 12. Either that or David Harvey.

It would be much more fun if we sent him back in time and had the Spanish Inquisition interview him! Failing that, maybe a podcast would suffice. Anything but the rugby club.

If that is the case, then I bear him no ill will. Quite clearly deserved the new tele, and I am glad that he won it! I hope it brings him some joy during the long, sleepless nights!

That is a fair enough call. However, the reason I and others (I suspect) rate Taps is because he isn't the traditional 'bash it up' style of centre. He generally has a good ball playing aspect of his play, and will look to set up his outside man. I suppose this is why he is considered a better...
