Home of the invisibility cloak. Credit to Canterbury, they are just a machine, more decepticon than auto bot but still a machine nonetheless. They just keep making a mess of the rucks, forcing turnovers, kick out of their own half then wait for a mistake. I think the dagger went in after 3 or 4...

Some good rugby in the final here. Finding it hard to support either side considering they consist of one Auckland and one Canter of the bury. Finding myself willing Auckland to win, Canterbury has had it enough and their crowd gives me the shits, they boo everything. I'm sure my uncle is in...

Now you say Counties were much stronger, just like you did last week, but again I have to disagree. Southland led for 70 minutes of their game last week, I think you've been influenced by Counties scoring a few freebies at the end of these games. They were not dominant in either of these...

Jesus bloody Christ. Good riddance Keith Brown. Makes it up as he goes along.

When did Joubert specifically caution McCaw? I thought he just gave them a team warning after three repeated infringements. Then Woodcock rightfully got the flick ten minutes later. McCaw sure was being a pest at that specific ruck but Kevin Mealamu was the one that was penalised. Of course...

Up until maybe a year ago he didn't comment. How many times can you be given a cheap shot before it just becomes plain annoying though. Higginbotham, Greyling, Rougerie, Cooper, Rossouw, Hartley, Heaslip, Powell.. list goes on. Oh and NO. Pocock has not been targeted like McCaw.

God I was freaked that he chose the scrum, one slipped bind or fold and you lose the game. Most captains I'm sure would tap, he obviously wanted a bit of space to operate though. Also, Liam Gill while giving a penalty away, I'm sure the kid is smart enough to realise that 60-70 metres out it...

Not really. I don't have IQ (Foxtel) unfortunately so it's not recorded but I'll wait and see the replay on youtube. From memory he taps it twice and then gathers? I think the second one might have been the issue. And if it is like Slim mentioned and the ball went over the 'plane' above the...

Obviously, because he ruled that Read did not touch the ball or Nonu was behind him. Rightly or wrongly. Phipps was just a no brainer.

I think Australia turned it down. Possibly he means Conrad Smith inferring that Harris maybe didn't plant the ball? Aaron Smith's he just knocked it on. Cory Jane's would have been nice, foot on the line though. Maybe someone will get a video of Harris planting the ball? In real time it...

A pretty ugly game all round. Too many handling errors and ill discipline. Draw probably a fair result. While Joubert, I suppose was balanced, he was far too present at breakdown time. The game had no flow whatsoever. Credit to the Wallabies, a gutsy performance. Should have had a go at the end...

Fair enough.

As opposed to Australian players who are bad sports on the field..

Maybe in the last 10-15 minutes, when it counts I guess. Up until then it was fairly even, with Southland leading all the way up until the 69th minute. My comment was more a reflection of Counties performing below what they achieved during the fixtures. I shouldn't have said lucky, they just...

Some interesting bloody reffing in that Southland game. The Stags were 10 metres out with 5 minutes to go and the ref sits himself in the Southland back line and gets in the way, and then gives Counties the ball because of the subsequent forward pass. What a muppet. Counties went on to score 1...

There's nothing quite like hearing on the television an "All Blacks" chant reverberate around Suncorp Stadium. It barely happens in home matches let alone another teams "fortress". As for the booing, as bad and as er.. un-gentlemanly it is, it's all pretty harmless. I don't like it of course but...

Otago 38 - 34 Tasman. Great game, the Makos lead by 13 points halfway through the second half thanks to two long field intercept tries. Otago lifted the intensity finally and rumbled over them. Good stuff. We'll probably meet Counties next week and cop a smacking. lol.

Waynes Barnes did have a terrible game in 2007. The few times I've seen him since I thought he was rather decent. I think if a referee communicates well they are half way there, or else it just seems like they know what's going on. The rest is just all too grey for me to judge a referee on...

http://www.superrugby.co.nz/s14news/20771/Emery-and-Coltman-Sign-With-Highlanders-for-three-years Two good signings, Liam Coltman is a solid hooker. 23 years old, good backup for the oldies Hore and Rutledge, will probably push cabbage off the bench. Jason Emery 'apparently' has a bright...

Moana Pool Hydro Slides? Some recruitment drive indeed, they are all on the wrong side of 30 but all class nonetheless. Interesting year ahead for the Highlanders. A shame for Shaun Treeby perhaps, he deserves a starting 12 spot in a super rugby side.
