I drafted in Taumalolo this week, so again I am sorry for ruining everyone's team in advance. I had to free up some capital to get him though, I didn't have enough in reserve to straight swap him with Ben May. What this means is that my long term skipper Pocock can think about his lack of...

This. Gill also needs more time to let his body grow into his profession. He is still only a small lad, and does not yet have the physical presence that is required.

No AWH? Shame really. I am quite keen to see how Lane gets on against the Stormers this week. Being part of the WP regional setup, I think it is a good idea that Link is playing him. I am still concerned about Daley starting, and Samo and Simmons had really better get stuck in this weekend...

Not a meme, but I couldn't resist posting it. Found it on youtube the other day:

No no no, you have it all wrong. The Boks should bring back Smit, and keep Wepener on the bench. Then they won't have to select a prop in reserve, because Smit can go to prop if need be. :p

And further to that, the Reds needed someone Link could develop. A person doesn't automatically become a great coach. Much like a talented player, they will only develop as far as their coaching setup permits. RG has never really been shown the ropes by a top class coach. Link has the...

Where's the popcorn? This is going to be a hell of a ride.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I was actually agreeing with your point. Just came out wrong. Seeing as racism is more or less disproven, arguments like Qwerty's fall into the discrimination category. Regardless of a persons' cultural background, stereotyping and ethnic discrimination...

Racism is a defunct term. Racism is essentially an aesthetic term of differentiation. 'Race' was originally termed by the naturalist Blumenbach, in his work on the aesthetic quality of skulls. A more accurate depiction of the term 'racism' would in fact be 'ethnic discrimination'. This does...

I thought I would resurrect this thread, as this has been bugging me. There is a perception that the Australian teams are weak. The argument is that the dilution of Australian rugby talent has resulted from the inclusion of Force and Rebels. Coincidentally, we find the Rebels and Force are not...

Here is The Last Hard Men for rd.8:

You might have to sub Van Der Merwe for Elstadt.I believe that van der Merwe is not playing this weekend.

-sigh- Why do people continually seek out comments from the peanut gallery, otherwise known as Eddie Jones? http://www.superxv.com/news/super15_rugby_news.asp?id=34709

Barring injuries this weekend, I should be able to avoid using my wildcard during this stretch. I just wish the Chiefs would hurry up and name their team. I have one transfer left, and it has Tim Nanai-Williams' name on it, but I don't want draft him in until the team is confirmed..

Love it! I think that will make an excellent sig.

I saw this one on Kev's Twitter last year:

The only thing I want out of this thread is the team the Force will name this weekend. So far, it is not delivering.

They have. http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/community/threads/s15r8-crusaders-vs-stormers-new-christchurch-stadium-christchurch.10567/page-2

That's a fair call. The point of my comparison was to highlight similarities in play styles. In time I would be rapped if Shatz developed into what Read is today. The boy is still very young, and has time on his side. That is a good thing.

Goosen is on the bench this weekend folks. Sias Ebersohn will be starting in his place.
