    The final run - 2012 Super Rugby Champion

    The Brumbies have won ten games this season. These wins were over the Western Force x2, Melbourne Rebels x2, NSW Waratahs x2, the Cheetahs, Lions, Hurricanes and Highlanders. They skipped playing the the Bulls and Crusaders. I can't see them winning from 3rd at all. I think it will probably be...

    Reds V Highlanders Rd 17

    I shouldn't have said double movement because that's not the right term. I'd like to know the rule with a player who is stopped, on the ground. Technically the tackler should release and Ellis should have released the ball but Whitelock was shoving him over a split second later so neither was...

    Reds V Highlanders Rd 17

    He certainly rips it out there, it's a weapon. Although there is a reason all of the replays of his passes are end-on shots. ;) Yes he was. Also, well done Reds. They toughed it out and did what needed to be done. Won't work against stronger sides than the Highlanders though. Good luck...

    Reds V Highlanders Rd 17

    No, I have to disagree with you there. 17 penalties against 10. A huge number of the Reds penalties being deep in the 22. A couple of penalties DIRECTLY AFTER warnings. I'll add a rant at Bryce Lawrence as well because I'm in the mood. He STILL manages to ruin a game from the TMO in the...

    Reds V Highlanders Rd 17

    It's disgraceful that the Reds finished with 15 men. Beyond ridiculous. Supremely lucky that Smith made a poor decision at the end and Mackintosh typically went to ground like a sack of potatoes.

    How many times are the Reds going be penalised without a yellow? Just warned them then Genia with ANOTHER cynical penalty. No, the Reds have infringed significantly more.

    Reds V Highlanders Rd 17

    I'm sick of the same players making the same handling errors week after week. Mackintosh and Bekhuis, I'm looking at you. Just stops the team from building any pressure. I've come to the conclusion that we need to kick more often as well, essentially not run out of the 22 every time. Sometimes...

    Reds V Highlanders Rd 17

    Indeed he is. The Highlanders have had as many injury problems this year as the Reds. Kind of glad to see Mike Delany ahead of Noakes at 10, he has a more experienced head on his shoulders, and can kick goals okay. Good to see Jimmy Cowan at least get some game time in probably his last match...

    Reds V Highlanders Rd 17

    Is there a point to this thread? I thought this match was a foregone conclusion. Highlanders to win by 23. Jamie Mackintosh will fall to the ground so often the pitch will end up with liquefaction. Just how we like it. Jason Rutledge will start a biff with Saia Fainga'a over who has the best...

    Crusaders vs Hurricanes

    Agreed. x3. He's almost the perfect team player. Tackle, pass (decision making), line running, supporting, communicating, work ethic. Well done Canes on the performance last night.

    Including two byes isn't it? 4 local derbies x2 + 4 from each other country. 16 games.

    SANZAR v Lions

    Pretty sure only 3 NZ players were in the 15 in 1989. I wouldn't mind seeing a one off test but just like Steve Hansen, I question where they would fit it in. The season is at a stretch as it is. Perhaps after world cup 2015? Ideally, IMO, the Super 15 should be a straight shot 14 rounds +...

    2012 IRB Junior World Championship

    Well done Boks, a great game. They held their line well when the Blacks were on top and took their chances. Mauls were too good, and Pollard kicked them out of their half very well. I have to say IMO, bias as it is, I have to question that grounding by the 9. He didn't have it under control...

    New Zealand vs Ireland

    Terrible yellow card, wasn't even a penalty. I stick by my original call to play Cruden ahead of Carter at 10. A perfect 25 minute display, four try assists. I fear that he is going to have a career blighted by injuries however. His knee is strapped every single week and at his age that's not...

    New Zealand vs Ireland

    Can't even remember. Had a few dusk games, starting at about 5.30pm local time. I vaguely recall games against Scotland and Australia during the day at Carisbrook in the early naughties. We played Scotland in white and used that hideous fluoro yellow adidas ball against Australia, with Matt...

    2012 IRB Junior World Championship

    ^^^ Interesting read. Paarl, I just had a look at Sportsbet. It has NZ U20's down as firm favourites at $1.57 to South Africa's $2.43. To me, this seems a bit ridiculous considering NZ's stuttering campaign. This years side is definitely not as strong as previous years and has too many lapses...

    Gah. If that horse you're on is as long as it is high you could give Black Caviar a run for her money. You could call it "Black Kettle".

    New Zealand vs Ireland

    A rather inexperienced side overall. McCaw at 8 is no good, why not bring in an actual 8 to cover Read, Nasi Manu would do a FAR better job at 8. He must be giving Retallick a rest to have Romano in there. Glad to see Gear get a chance ahead of Guildford, fancy rewarding that beer guzzler over a...
