I thought that too. But in Prior's defence he did immediately apologise after the tackle. Not every player does that.

Awesome. Cheers Reg.

The risk of players moving overseas is a fairly big problem now while there is pressure on the talent pool. This will soon (in 2-3 years) be mitigated somewhat by Force and Rebels increasingly expanding their local talent pools and a few successive years of the NRC. The better, fairer age grade...

I think there is a lot to be hopeful for on this one. Will Skelton appears to have come along way in the past few months, particularly his scrummaging. Greg Holmes has been looking really good since he has been back. PAE also looking really good. I think (hope) that last year's EOYT was a...

Has there been any word on the upcoming Oceania U20s? First game vs Samoa is on Friday. QRU usually do a bloody excellent job with the live streaming, anyone heard anything on this? Would love to see the team in action.

I've really been enjoying watching the Waratahs recently and this game is more of the same.

I only caught about 10-15 minutes at the end of the first half. 100% behind the ref on this one. Only thing I ask is that it is consistently applied at test level and at the RWC. Haven't seen the rest of it but bloody proud that we only went down by 8 points after 50 minutes with only 14 men...

Top effort Pocock. When was the last time before that that a forward scored a hat trick?

We had 3 from 4 last year and at least none of our losses against SA sides were embarrassing. And far from easy for those SA sides.

I live in the hope that a bunch of our young guys will come good about the same time. The way DHP is going is heart warming compared to the way the Force are going in general. I agree about the centre combo but I am pleased at the way Burton has stepped up. I would be tempted to use one of...

Geez. It looks like the Brumbies have a bad case of Forcitis.

Well done Waratahs. Very exciting game.

Excited to see what RHP can do at this level.

I think John Mitchell tried to recruit him (Jantjes). I wonder what Michael Foley's long term plans for Luke Burton are. He might be a good option at 10. He reminds me a bit of Ben Lucas (who I was always keen on seeing at the Force) as he doesn't have a lot of frills but has bucket loads of...

It was earlier this year. Before the Force played the Asia Pacific Dragons. RHP played for Force A against Perth Spirit (mostly WA U20s).

Wykes is a controversial player. It'll be interesting to see how we go without him and who we look to to replace him. Word on Hayden is that he could be anything if he can get his aggression under control (sounds a bit like a Rocky Elsom type). Apparently he put Ross Haylett-Petty (Aus U20...

We would really benefit from a Todd Louden type. Interesting how well Koteka has been going. Interesting that he didn't make the AUS U20s last year, but is currently eclipsing those who were selected over him.

Got to win one eventually. I had thought it would be last week and it came down to the wire. We have been trending upwards since the Hurricanes game so if it is a win, it'll probably be by less then 3 points.

I wonder if that is part of the reason Kyle Godwin has been shifted to 13. It hasn't been a success, but his last game was very good and maybe it has just taken him time to find his feet.

It is a conservative estimate. I have watched a lot of games and referees hate it when a team effectively kills the ball for a minute of play. Kicking down the fullbacks throat is poor, but kicking it out would have been worse. The Bulls would have mauled the ball for 10m and then won a...
