Every week is a different game. Against the Highlanders we killed them with power and precision, against the Reds we were clinical, against the Brumbies it was "they shall not pass". What did they have in common? We won by about 20 points. We also won't have Peyper, a referee who knows the...

Bastard! Saturday will be good for a whole pile of reasons, including getting some monkeys off our back.

I travelled a lot when I was working and west to east is a real bastard. I was normally right by the 2nd or 3rd day, depending on the length of the flight, but I was not a high performance athlete. Even a flight to NZ meant I was crap the first day in NZ. But you must not drink alcohol and you...

45 minutes till my code would work. Worst 45 minutes of my life. Rang ticketek, waratahs; no one would answer. Obviously totally jammed switchboards. The only bright spot was how much interest there is in the game. I ended up with section 106 (around the 22) and closer to the touchline than I...

Usually I'm hoarse by half time but on Saturday I cheered twice as hard as ever before and I still had a croak left at full time. So, that's a solution to the voice problem - just cheer louder! :)

Dodged a nuclear bomb. Imagine Australia playing Jakeball against NZ in front of hundreds of spectators at ANZ!

There's still no way Crawford is not a better option for 23, particularly if we go for a 7:2 split!

Info is in the email link in your info email (blue colour link) "Guide to purchasing seats in presale 2." Costs are very cheap for what it is, particularly in cheaper seats. You can pay more to go to the pictures and see some retarded American actor kill thousands with a machine gun without...

I don't know about rubbish, but they've had some pretty ordinary performances this year. At the half way mark (round 10) I had the Hurricanes and Chiefs as the top two NZ teams based on quality of play. Then there was the game against the Sharks in round 15 where I thought they were super...

Last night I spent all of half time plus a minute thereafter standing in a toilet queue. Bloody SFS.

Which is hard to believe. The defence was absolutely brutal by both teams. It was Bledisloe test intensity all night. The quality of the Tahs attacking defence was what beat the Brumbies in the end. I lost count after five minutes of the number of Brumbies runs where they ended up five metres...

Nah! Make it good quality, sell it for $150+ and it'll go like hotcakes and make the franchise a fortune. Think about the Tah fans' average wealth and social position.

Maybe Jake might quietly pull Bismark aside and tell him that he (White) picks the side not the captain. The way most SA teams select their halfback is why Du Preez is still their first choice. None of the up-and-coming half backs ever get a look in unless they refuse to pass and box kick...

Anyone heard who the Tahs have dropped from the 24 yet?

Ease up old son, we need you to conserve your effort for game day. We've got a semi-final to win and we supporters need to be at the top of our game to make home ground advantage count. Save the aggro up for Peyper!

Like it or not, this is a home game for the Tahs and they do not want to give the opposition the tiniest leg-up in a knock-out game. They want Tahman to have exclusive rights to rev up the crowd, have him being picked up by TV cameras not the Brumby mascot. Its marketing 101. Don't let your...

This game will be very hard to predict. The Crusaders forwards have been good over the last four weeks but the backs no better than average. With Carter at 12 and Crotty at 13 it looks a bit better, but that backline is not what you'd call game-breaking. Nadolo given space is dangerous but...

Regular readers will know I rate Crawford highly, but my reasons for wanting Crawford on the bench are as back-up fullback. If Carraro and Naiyaravoro are both chosen then we would have to either drop Beale back, move Horne to 12 and bring on a winger or drop AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) back, bring Horne in one and...

I'm not that happy to see Peyper getting the reffing gig this week. For me, he doesn't have a great feel for the game. In any game there are hundreds of infringements; some are important some are not. Peyper for mine often penalises inconsequential stuff and doesn't penalise infringements that...

I have not been impressed with either of the Smiths this season. When either of them come on things usually go downhill, with both of them on its only backwards and down. I suspect Sio and Alexander will play a lot of minutes this week.
