Yeah the Hurricanes have just spooked the Reds chances big-time. The Brumbies juggernaut rolls on. The Reds will really be ruing their losing streak now.

Sorry mate, when you said: I thought you were offering a comparison.

Erm, no, of course it doesn't mean that. It means they were able to deploy their game plan with greater effect. Scoring nine tries against the Taranaki Under 7 Girls Team using a ten man approach, vs. scoring no tries against the ABs using an attacking style, doesn't mean the attacking style...

You were playing the Rebels, not the ABs or even Wales.

Only because the Brumbies haven't played. o_O

Far out, KB (Kurtley Beale)'s highlight real is amazing.

I agree we should pick better players. Who are they?

That's generally true, but not when lineups are affected by injury. Returning first choice players are generally moved back in when they become available, otherwise the negative consequences of injury woes would become entrenched over time, with a queue of first team players waiting for a...

Scotty, I think the Welsh got their act together on the final day. But I'm still picking Sharpe and Simmons, for similar reasons as you.

Athilnaur I reckon one thing we must all recognise is that McCabe is improving quickly. He's got a lot of respect in the ranks. And he's as tough as teak.

That's true Athilnaur, but remember how long it took Smith to master those skills. For many years he was considered the complete journeyman. If you had said five years ago that Conrad Smith would be counted amongst the great outside centers, you would have been laughed down by everyone except...

Also they boo Australia, like we were a pantomime villain.

The problem with any team with Sharpe and Simmons in it is that neither is a tight head lock, and in addition, both are comparatively soft in the scrum. We're throwing around comparisons with Thorn as a measure of a player's worth. Well, Thorn pushes effectively in the scrum. Having said...

We need a new animal. Something fierce: the drop bear. And why QANTAS, a shrinking company run by a midget Irishman? We need a tougher jersey sponsor. The Chesty Bond Drop Bears has a very nice ring to it.

I don't think that's quite right. Managing Directors and other directors are often employees, and CEOs are often directors. The difference is mainly cultural: CEO is an American term while Managing Director is the traditional usage. A director who isn't employed by a company is...

Delve, Higgers, Jones, Pyle and Neville is potentially as good as anything in SupeRugby.

Great post, hard to argue against any of that. I think it's ABs then the also-rans in the RCs this year. One can debate x-factor players but they have more, and more fit that we do. But yes, their structure and patterns are better. Despite that, to their consternation, we can still beat them...

That's fantastic! A wonderful player and a great ambassador.

Like many others here I vote Cooper out until he can defend in the ten channel. This year we have the luxury of options there and we should make the most of them.

Turner has an exceptional highlights reel of wonderful tries where he's used the full range of footballing abilities, including his speed. The problem is that he just doesn't do it instinctively. The best wingers will always try to beat the man, where Turner either kicks, or lamely runs into...
