Where does he play?

I definitely think Fardy should come into captaincy consideration. He is a definite starter based on form.

Haylett-Petty is a utility forward. Perfect to cover 4/5/6 and probably 8 from the bench.

That team will be very evenly matched with the side the Force roll out.

That'll be announced tomorrow. I don't think he will. Surely he is easily the best 12 in South Africa. I reckon if there is any doubt (which clearly there is) and there is no chance the Stormers will make the finals (that ship sailed long ago) then HM will ask for him to be managed (read rested)...

It's definitely lucky. I actually thought the Stormers would win the comp this year but they have been fucked over by injuries. The Cheetahs were good last year, but I didn't see that one lasting. Not quite enough substance or depth to them IMHO. Bit worried that the Force could be in a similar...

And what does your message say? You just simply aren't good enough? That is not true of either of them. I have seen both of them play excellent rugby. I think the message from my suggestion is pretty clear: You guys have the potential but you have to deliver. Better to give them the chance and...

This is a bit like the card game "Old Maid". You are stuck with him now. Your only hope is to pass him onto the Rebels.

I think Horwill and Simmons should start the first test. With the clear message to find form or get dropped. Jones on the bench and Fardy starting at 6. Hooper at 7. Palu at 8 and either McCalman or Hodgson on the bench. Make decisions from there.

Can we take back to back wins on the road?

Version 1.3. 13 rounds gone, 6 to go. Table and future fixtures: Sharks (36 points/played 11) Saders, Blues, Stormers, Cheetahs, Stormers Chiefs (35/11) bye, Canes, Tahs, Clan, Canes, Blues Brumbies (34/11) Cheetahs, Bulls, Rebels, Tahs, bye, Force Crusaders (31/10) Sharks, Clan, Force...

Beating the Stormers would be awesome. That would leave us on 8 wins with 5 to play and three of those at home. Given the Highlanders' narrow escape against the Lions, every single point will count. I guess that's why they call it the pointy end of the season.

How do you tackle a defender?

There are some guys who seem to play a lot better for the Wallabies than they ever do for their Super Rugby sides. In my opinion, Adam Ashley-Cooper is a good example of this. Can't think of any other good current examples at the moment. Anyway, I reckon Longbottom would be one of those guys...

Fuck yeah! Reckon we definitely got the rub of the green from Pollock.

Up the guts and into 'em!

Good first half for the Force. Shame about the three given away at the end there.

He tries to watch them, but he gets distracted by the mirror next to his TV and decides to jack it instead.
