I get the impression that the role of the TMO has been expanded by the refs to allow review of obviously dubious decisions in order to get it right. In this case the TMO got it right and it would have been an injustice to allow the try to stand. Berry got one right, but he's got a long way to...

The first sentence absolutely nails it! That improvement is evident but he has got a long way to go. His physicality is improving but his accuracy at the breakdown is still poor and he is not hitting the defensive line at top pace. Time and coaching will fix that. Beale's penalty kicking...

Some might suggest that a Reds win would be an upset given the history between the two teams. Yes, the Chiefs may be an upset but a win against the Reds could hardly be described as such.

Unlikely to happen. Sharks should get first or second spot from here, that means a home semi for them. That was a pretty fair assessment by the guardian. As the Sharks play Jakeball, they rarely have to make a run or put a play together. They just kick it away if their pick and drive isn't...

If he was scooting first there may be some validity to your point, however Genia often runs sideways or backwards, which is totally counter-productive. Overlaps can only be covered if the inside backs don't straighten and threaten the line with the inside ball. This requires multiple runners...

Fabulous display by Aus under the conditions. Outplayed South Africa at their own game.

The other side of that is that if we lose on Sunday then we will still be in striking range of all the franchise leaders, except maybe the Sharks.

Its been a good night for the Waratahs. Crusaders get one point, Brumbies get none. Sharks and Chiefs got done last week. If we win on Sunday morning we will be well in front of the comp given the games played and what's left to play. The incentive to knock over the Sharks is absolutely huge.

Which is? (No FOX)

Saders down again!! This is starting to get really serious for them. Injuries to their star players, losing home games, they are in serious trouble. One bonus point only tonight. You can hear the cheering of the Chiefs, Sharks and Waratahs from SA and the Brumbies from Melbourne. Despite their...

Lets wait at least till Sunday morning before we write the Tah obituary. Its going to be a long season and anything can happen, but we are playing better football than we have ever done, except for the year we lost the final to the Saders the first time. And that Saders team was a champion outfit.

Benji would never play for the Tahs because he has to play for a NZ team to make the Blicks (not that he ever will given the talent they have at 10 and 15). The Tahs have got some real talent coming through at 10 and 15, I don't think we will need to import anyone unless they're as good as Izzy.

Horan's commentary is dreadful. Like many players who were naturally gifted he played on instinct, without thinking things through. That's fine for genii like him and Campese, but it is no good for detailed commentary. Horan's comments are either off the point, totally trite or just plain...

Don't think I'd want to play rugby trivial pursuit with you qwerty. I remember Turinui's shot at playing winger, but that was a disaster of titanic proportions. Remembering an off-the-bench performance in SA from two years ago - that's awesome.

Maybe there's only two Gaggers left in it. Still playing on the ARU site but totally frustrated. This week my whole team shows zero points, no idea why. Third major problem I've had with the site, reported problems the first two times only to be totally ignored or sent non-messages. I'm a...

This week I have two injured, two dropped/rested, two suspended and two on a bye. Three others are scoring poorly, and a couple of the rest are very inconsistent. Hate to do it but I think I might have to use my wildcard this week.

The Interns strike again!

This has happened because the AFL has programmed two games at exactly the same time and they have pushed Fox into showing both. Fox should have told them to get lost and put the second best match on a two hour delay. But I don't think they've got the cohonnies to face up to Demetriou.

ESPN scrum is reporting that Douglas will start, with Skelton on the bench. BJ's line-up may contain an error. I hope so.

That team is very strange for a host of reasons: Douglas on the bench after winning the player's player award last week. Either he's carrying an injury and the Tahs have kept quiet about it or Cheika is trying to rotate the locks and reduce Kane's workload. Against the comp leaders the second...
