Bugger. Can't rightly say I am overly fond of any teams that remain, so I guess I'll just enjoy the games as they happen from here on.

Oh I agree - it has been one of the things I have been banging on about all season.

Ballsy by the referee with the card for cynical infringement. With these two teams it could be a game of sevens by the end if he is consistent.

No way would the reds consider letting Gill go. I seem to recall Graham rushing Gill back from injury for the Blues game in order to rescue the season - all to no avail of course. That would suggest to me that Graham must hold Gill in some pretty high esteem. I don't want Graham anywhere...

That is the mammoth in the teepee right there! Poor coaching will still result in poor results irrespective of what quality of players are out there. Very few of our tries this year have come directly from some form of structured play or move - they have largely been through individual...

And my axe!!!

Pardon my ignorance and I admit I may have not been paying too much attention, but what does this actually mean?

It once was a provincial tournament, (and at it's heart still is imo) rather than an international one. My province is gone, but am still disinclined to go for those provinces that I usually have little affinity for, so: Highlanders it is.

I agree, Hunt would have got the ARU top up if he went to the Waratahs and Folau would not have got it if he wanted to go to the reds. :P

I am trying to track down the relevant articles to cite, but am having some trouble, but there are a couple of top up people that have been mentioned that are somewhat outliers......... The finger twins aren't on top ups. When the contract was last up for renewal, it was publicized that they...

I bags No. 10

Doesn't really matter if the memberships are ticketed or not, it's the contact details they want. Show your sponsors that you have an audience of "x" captive contacts to have products pushed at and the sponsors will see the value in supporting the organization. It can get blurry though when...

Gees, my original analysis was wildly incorrect. Still, I am glad I did it as it is a really good exercise. Next year, I'm going to do it again - and see who's season I can derail :P

Sheesh - that's the wrong thread :(. Sorry.

I watched the press conference last night and am very disappointed with Richard Graham's responses. Everything was an excuse. He positively lit up when one of the reporters suggested that the injuries in this game are a reflection of the season and was clearly satisfied to play the injury...

Well, we share some common ground at least (scrum, line out ). I didn't go into details, but it is the very basic stuff like passing, defence etc I am disappointed with. I.e our skills. I haven't seen a team devoid of the very basics before.

I havent seen any team in any sport so poor at their chosen field as this reds team. The line out, scrum and maul are just about the only things that are functional. Utter disgrace.

Tualagi is not up to super rugby level.

Liam Gill reportedly being given a break from the sevens to play this weekend? Wow - I didn't expect that.
