Pocock should have taken the 3points when they had the chance. That's the whole point of playing the style of rugby the Wallabies did. Pressure, pressure, pressure....take the points when on offer. They did all but. Score would have been 9 - 6, Wallabies get possession from kick-off and they...

I couldn't stop the involuntary chuckle from this line:

The point was that Thompson hasn't really impressed in his chances in the black jersey. IMO, Vito has done more to push his case than Thompson has. Bad wording on my part but I think it was still pretty clear what I was trying to say....

This may the first time I have ever agreed with Rattue re Weepu:

OK....someone MUST be in trouble at FoxSports in the morning........

oh....that would make crossing the like for the Vikings even more impressive...LOL

Weepu has proven performances in the Black Jersey - Ellis, not so much. I'm not surprised or disappointed by that selection at all - but I've never liked Ellis anyways. Ali Williams. People love to hate this guy. He isn't playing terribly but he also has a history of playing pretty average in...

Who hasn't crossed the line a bit at the Vikings this year?? LOL

That game has given me some real hope and heart for 2013. The Saili Bros, Luke Braid, Faumuina, Wulf, Anscombe.....there's some good young players in there. And how flippin' good is Rene Ranger!!

OK....here's my team for the week....I'm finally jumping on the Taumalolo & Andre Taylor bandwagons....lol

Benji Marshall - a better version of QC (Quade Cooper). I wonder how someone like Michael Luck would go? He's a tackling machine, has a massive engine and heart, is a fantastic team and club man - the professional athlete. Maybe a Brad Thorn-esque player? I dunno how tall he is....

Yep.....I think there is definitely a bit of willingness to ping PI's for hard tackles. Look at Paul Williams send-off in their first RWC match last year - great tackle and he gets a yellow card.

Great tackles.....the 'result' doesn't neccessarily mean 'dangerous'

Not to mention a couple of NRL titles to boot. The man is a legend....

Would it still be rubbish if he got the amount he was looking? Can I get this right?? Higginbotham and the Reds thought that he was worth more than the ARU did? The reds offered as much as they could and thought that the ARU would top-up that amount to a level that Higgers would be happy with...

I did miss that....fortunately I had Alexander on the bench :) Taking Sam carter ended up ebing a masterstroke as well.......Pisi on the other hand

I'm sorry....did I miss where the ARU put a gun to Higginbotham's head and told him that if he didn't go to the Rebels then him and all the people he loves and holds dear to his heart would find themselves on the bottom of the sea? I grew up in the Far North of NZ in a small country town about...

Oh well....here we go....whattaya rekon??

I'm not 100% sure of how it works but here goes my guess.... Players are contracted to provinces and the NZRFU. All the provinces are allocated to a Super Rugby catchment area eg. Northland, Nth Harbour, Auckland = The Blues. Counties Manakau, Bay of Plenty = The Chiefs etc. The provinces have a...

....and the most successful conference in Super Rugby DOES have a salary cap......damn quasi unioist-socialists!!
