He is unlucky that he is playing when Australia have some incredible options at 7. His best options for international rugby probably are: a) Play in France, and declare for Tonga. However he'd be warned that French teams were rumoured to offer other South Sea Islanders bonuses not to play in...

The hooker has be at the very least a solid line out thrower and one of the locks should be a line out "nerd" like Matfield or O'Connell who can run their own line out and destroy and the oppositions. One of the centres should be able to be the leader in defence, organising defensive line etc.

He is such a prick not much more can be said about him, England would just be better playing a 3rd full back instead of him it would suit their game plan better for starters

Not great wording by the IRB I'd have to agree, thanks for clarifying that for me. Good law in theory but just isn't working that well

he won MOTM in 14 of his last 15 games

could I get a mod edit on the title? Not sure how I got the word rule in there twice! Half asleep here

Having watched the first few rounds of Super rugby and this weekends 6 nations games am I the only person a bit miffed about this rule? When the ball is slow coming from the ruck the referee calls use it after 5 seconds then proceeds to give the attacking team about another 5 seconds to play the...

Really hope this move works out for him, I am a massive fan of his ever since he single handedly won the Heineken Cup for Leinster.

think I may have alluded to this on the match thread, the intensity at the breakdown just wasn't there for the Tahs on Saturday. I'm sure Cheika will be drilling it into them all week they need to make it difficult for the opposition at ruck time. I hope on Saturday we can get some quick ball...

The France Ireland game is going to be interesting both teams look devoid of spirit and leadership. Interestingly some of the Irish media have started to jump on the Kidney/ROG out bandwagon, about two years too late in my opinion but better late than never that they get onboard. Big winner...

He is being signed as a winger/full back I believe. Leinster will be losing Isa Nacewa to Japan and possibly Luke Fitzgerald to France and need some experience to come into their outside backs.

I think we'll probably see Healy, Best, Ryan, SOB, Sexton and BOD in the match day 23. As for the tour party I think we'll see about 12 English, 10 Welsh, 9 Irish and the rest Scots.

That kick was the silver lining on the massive ROG cloud, Fitz of 2009 probably would have scored from that. I'm talking about the aimless cross kick on our 22 to no one in particular which led to Scotlands final score. Really bizzare choice from him, sad to see such an Irish ligind fall to that...

That was shocking from Ireland, all the possession in the world and only got one try. It amazes me that Earls still can't fix a defender and give a pass. ROG was shocking in his cameo, what was that cross field kick in our 22? His kicks for touch rarely made more that 10 metres. Trying to find...

Wildcard has backfired spectacularly, and a terrible choice of captain has let me down again. Another season of mediocrity for me

Hopefully Wales can do a job on them, can't stand pricks seeing like Ashton and Youngs getting silverware. Its a problem with Irish teams in all sports, and then when a team like Kilkenny dominate and thrash teams they get lambasted for bad sportsmanship. Something amiss in our national psyche...

Looks like England are going to win a slam on the back of a great kick chase, an accurate place kicker and solid defence. Doesn't say much for the 6 nations that this is all its takes to win.

Its the defensive tactics in general not aggressive enough, just stood off the Reds and let them play. I'm not sure the defence got in Quades face once, don't recall him being put under any pressure taking the ball at first receiver.

I think Volavola should come into the team for Friday, not sure if it should be at 10 or 15. Izzy showed enough to get a run in the team. The defensive line needs to be more aggressive, they stood off the Reds far too much giving them too much time to pick their options on the ball.

Thanks for the recommendation guys, Tahs on all the main TVs and sensibly priced drinks. Only thing I can complain about was the performance and the drunken Roosters fans on the way home.
