I didn't mean to imply that size was the only consideration, only that it is relevant. Having said that, in many situations it is highly relevant. Many collisions in professional rugby are quite direct.

We beat them twice last year.

If the loss to the Lions and the first 40 minutes against the Cheetahs are amongst the Sharks' best form ever then the Reds will cruise it.

It's 'playa'.

I actually live on the border of Qld and NSW and I can confirm that all the banjos are to be found in Qld. But that's only because the music clubs are in Coolie not Tweed Heads.

The fact that a large portion of Australia perceives Jones as a muckraking political radical considerably reduces his usefulness.

So do people think the Waratah's lower fitness levels is a result of player laziness? That will come as a relief to the Tahs supporters who were blaming it on endemic problems with systems and coaching.

No, a tyro is simply a beginner.

Penalties are often a function of the damage done. Getting drunk and frightening a pedestrian attracts a lesser sentence than getting drunk and killing them.

No, retaliation is treated at least as seriously as the original offence.

Their results suggest they're on a par with the Boks.

Cruden is playing well, but he's merely good (a regulation ten) whereas Cooper has produced exceptional football in bursts. Laptop's problems are consistency and defence, not ability.

TOCC, on that basis I'd certainly put him at 12. The 10 has plenty of other running options and JOC (James O'Connor) is a true game-breaker in the Horan mold. And his distribution isn't like some people say. His last-pass game is world class. Every second game he puts up a beautiful soft pass for a runner on...

South Africa haven't done anything recently to worry anyone. In fact their fans are moaning almost as much as ours are, but with a greater basis in fact. We beat them 3-0 last year. We beat them 2-1 in 2010. We beat them 2-1 in 2009. We beat them 2-1 in 2008. We even drew 1-1 with them in...

He also ran down Tommy Bowe from behind over a full 90m and on a slightly disadvantageous angle so he has sprint endurance as well.

I expect we can only expect to see more injuries as strength out paces resilience (which it seems to be doing now).

Still, it is better to peak at the back end of the season.

I bow to the arithmetic.

Fingers crossed kiap, but it could have been easier if the Crusaders had won today.
