This is exactly what the little Japanese HB was doing for the Highlanders last night. Very talented player.

In fairness to Chieka when making that comparison he is still getting his new side to adapt to their new style and before they play his style with an instinct, they are not in a position to advance to that next level. A bit unjust to make the comparison when contextually both side are at a...

I don't know if this is Deans. Maybe it has come from higher up. Maybe Smith has been Pulverised.

Maybe time for a little learning though. We are a bit richer in regards to experienced (by experienced I mean test exposed) players this year and should get a far better balanced side. That should exclude stop gap players like Tamani. We have hard nosed players with a far more complete skill...

This game is going to be a cracka'. Reds love a challenge and it brings the best out in them.

"Earlier this season, Deans said Cooper would begin the year with a clean slate but also underlined he would select players who teammates could rely upon under pressure." I would prefer a coach we can rely on under pressure. Deans keeps getting his slate cleaned every year despite that it...

Meyer seems to be a goose. The type that can turn sunshine into shit with sheer narrow mindedness. Some fantastic players and teams playing a good intelligent style of rugby in that conference. Would be a shame if the coach can't harness that.

So Jim McKay is the "Senior assistant coach". One can't help that is one of those bullshit feel good titles with only one bloke under him. I don't have a huge problem with Stiles appointment. I do understand the perception it has generated though. Was never happy with the way Woody was...

Dan Palmer in his article about garnishing meat with meat. "Trust me, spinach doesn't make you stronger. It makes you a winger"

I don't want Izzy for the Lions series. It will be to soon in his development to take the next step up. He is progressing well but I feel he will be a token selection at this stage. Given he commits to a future in rugby he will undoubtably be Wallaby material in the future. He could be a good...

Obviously not much game time but a player who goes ok at the pilfer is Horwill.

I don't know how the Crusaders survive revenue wise. Surely they would sell out a home game on a family ticket. :)

Me also. This part is just classic. "Trust me, spinach does not make you strong, it makes you a winger." Read more: http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/rugby-union/union-news/a-diet-rich-in-meat-makes-for-a-future-on-the-field-20130314-2g3t9.html#ixzz2PlEdtUMB

Thanks Sully. I have not been aware of Dan's writing but this is sensational stuff.

I would be curious to see where the penalty's are being conceded. I think it would add context. I don't recall Holmes being a penalty magnet at scrum time.

I feel sick agreeing with that prick but what he says makes sense in this piece.

Congratulations Rebels. Take the points and move on. Next week vs the Kings could be a cracker. Hard luck Force fans. It must be very frustrating for you. I think the Australian Rugby public nearly drowned in a river of tears when MMM came off. Not the bloody shoulder again. Well we all hope...

This is a fairly good example of stats not telling the full story. It needs to be put into the context of a team re building. In that context the Tahs are making progress. The problem Chieka and the Tahs are having is they are putting so much energy and attention into building their new game...

I don't agree. We are effectively replacing Sharpie and his knowledge of the job requirement over rides any potential bias. If we were talking about who he would pick in any other position I would tend to agree with you.

Tahs looking better and that attacking instinct is starting to click. Foley just sensational tonight. The problem for the Tahs is they seemed to have forgotten to earn the right to go forward before going wide. Falou has good spatial awareness and is linking with his wingers well. Hooper...
