Speaking of Bob, Paddy not happy: http://www.sport24.co.za/Rugby/TriNations/New-twist-in-referee-debacle-20100805 Damn! Was hoping Paddy would call me out.

No, Conrad wins, I've seen it. I watch a lot those AB videos, Mike Cron on the scru, etc. They're good stuff.

Well, is that the media's job to ease our exasperation with the rulings? Over the past 8 years I have become very frustrated with the refs' ability to cope with the ABs. I decided to do something about that, and I hope it has generated some attention to the issue. Who knows - something or...

G'day Matto, Thanks for the fan mail. You've gone to a lot of trouble but haven't made any sense. If you can get someone on here to SECOND any single point of yours, I'll deal with it in this thread. Until then, this post looks like all the YouTube comments I've been getting from Kiwis. Most of...

Terrific about the indigenous reps. Good onya boys.

I'm not sure that counts as a jinx, coming from PaarlBok. I think that's just an honest appraisal. All Blacks by 50.

MORE BOB http://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=10663586 Excellent analysis Bob. What you really need is a video pointing out when and where the ABs did this.

C'mon Bob - give me some love, bro. You saw the vid, didn't you?

So, RWC11 is the focus of his appointment. Is this just Deans's opinion, or also JON's? Whoever is responsible for it has made a very poor decision, in my opinion. The ABs were obsessed with RWC07 and look where it got them. If they learnt one thing is was not to over-prepare.

No name: please avoid posts like this one, and posts like "And?" and so on. Only post if you have information you want to get across. Cheers.

Just to repeat what's in the drew Mitchell thread: Sorry Jonathan. You ****.

I'm really surprised at the Joubert-hate. Maybe you guys are seeing things I've missed, but: - Mitchell's 1st yellow was that cheating **** Kaplan's idea - Mitchell's 2nd yellow was just unfortunate - He pinged Woodcock for binding / dropping, like no-one else does - He was tough on the ABs at...

Good analysis Hawko, but you'd admit that there's a fair fall from XV to XXII?

For the record: 10 July: NZ vs SA in Auckland Referee: Alan Lewis (Ire) Ass. referees: Alain Rolland (Ire), Stuart Dickinson (Aus) 17 July: NZ vs SA in Wellington Referee: Alain Rolland (Ire) Ass. referees: Alan Lewis (Ire), Stuart Dickinson (Aus) 24 July: Aus vs SA in...

Wait - Kaplan's reffing in Chch? Oh god.

Like you, BH, I reckon 80% of Aussie backline passes are too high. You want it out in front, of course, but slightly too low is better than slightly too high. It just passes on pressure.

You know - that's not a very threatening bench. Where's the depth?

I have a bug up my arse about AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) at 13 because I am a retired 13. I wasn't very good, but I loved that position. I could also play as a non-passing 12, or as a pop-gun kicking 15, or as a wing embarrassed for speed. But it's a special spot out there in 13. You can see the whole game, you can...

fp, I'm not sure I agree with Harris's interpretation. How about: Deans is trying to teach the Aussies how to play Crusader / Kiwi ball, and they're not taking to it. I'm not sure the right answer is that we just need a couple more years practicing the Kiwi style. Can't we develop an...

Turner at 13 and AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) at 15. Now I have officially heard everything. Some of you guys have become as obsessed as Deans with playing everyone in the backline out of position.
