Jeffries should hopefully be back next week, and that'd sort things out. If he's not, then either Schatz needs to start for one of the Opensides, or all 3 of Retallick, Timani and Cummins need to start, and we either back in 2 out of 3 to play 80 minutes, or give Murray Douglas a chance.

Koroibete wouldn't have made an impact no. But maybe Toby, Chibba, Jeffries, Day, McMahon, Inman, Sefa, Koroibete in the side and Stirzaker not going off with a head knock after 20ish minutes would have made a little bit of difference. Ah well, that second half was just about the worst I...

Impressive shift when Gordy is starting at loosehead for Scotland on Saturday. ;)

3 NRC seasons where every performance falls somewhere between crap and didn't have an influence on the result probably has something to do with people's ratings. Still, he's adequate backup at this stage, and hopefully he becomes something more for you.

Pathetic. We're missing a few good players. But so are the Blues, and they're the weakest NZ team. JGB has clearly been appointed the answer at 10 and will have the jersey for the season. At this stage I'd give up aspirations of staying in the comp and just play likely/potential Wallabies...

Good old fashioned Rebels collapse.

Blues kicking, and particularly high ball kicking has been excellent. Major difference between the two sides ATM, at least for mine. 40 minutes in is early to make an assessment, but Rebels seem to have improved the overall execution of the game plan and skills but the poor individual decision...

Pretty shocking how he missed the knock on there.

Benny V doing the full warm-up, can't see if anyone's missing at this stage. Edit: Inman MIA AFAIK.

Rob played U20s for Victoria, NRC for the Rising and signed a full time deal for the Brumbies all as a schoolboy (first Vic schoolboy boy to sign a Pro contract as such as well possibly?) and if the rumours are true, Scott Johnson has already made contact, on the basis of a Scottish...

No Hanson, no Sefa, no Koroibete. Interesting. Is there an injury list or article somewhere, I've only seen tweets.

Faumuina, Moala and Ranger are a great set of players to come off the bench, and could turn the game if it's there to be won in the 50-65th minutes. Otherwise I'm a little more confident than I was yesterday.

I'd just like to avoid the robbing Peter to pay Paul situation. Cruze is undoubtedly our best loosehead with Toby out, however, in more than a few NRC games and one or two Soup Games, it's been shown that he's preferred as a tighthead over Moloney and Sa'aga. So if Weeks does a shoulder, or...

With Day and Jeffries hopefully due back between the two byes, I'd vastly prefer to just rely on Timani, Retallick and Cummins with Douglas hanging around just in case. With Toby out till mid May, and Metcher supposedly injured again with unknown duration, I'd not mind bringing down another...

Good. Australian FTA is awful at the best of times, and that sentiment extends to Cinemas too. Much of Foxtel is overpriced trash, but at least there's not excessive ads, the majority of it's available in HD, and you get virtually anything they've got the rights to somewhere between same time...

Nic White's got another year on his Contract for Montpellier though, and Montpellier are firmly entrenched in finals positions.

Wales, instead of like Argentina (Argentina XV, playing in the ARC) and England (Saxons) etc. Have chosen to make their U20s side their A side, and so lock off eligibility for everyone who plays against France, South Africa or Fiji U20s (other teams who've nominated their U20s as their A Side)...

Seriously, WTF, even on drugs what kind of people think about that sort of shit. Also, do they deliberately search for the picture that makes them look like a sex offenders the most?

Even if the ring fencing rumours/speculation aren't true, Bristol's also learned its lesson, from the long years spent in the Championship. If they're straight out, they need to be straight back in with something as close to a Premiership squad as is possible to retain, I'd imagine that very...

Welshies use their U20s as their A Side. And a number of Academy Players get their Contracts cancelled if they no longer have English Eligibility. Not quite as simple as all that lads, albeit I believe they may be changing it this year or next.
