Agreed. Some time this season the Tahs will put 70 points on someone.

We were playing the Force. Absolutely no danger of a quick run-back, they either had to kick it out or try and bash it up in the forwards. With lots of teams I would agree with your point, but with the Brumbies or the Force or any Saffer team except the Cheetahs, you know they'll just kick it...

He did a lot of work, particularly in charging at the defence. As a result, he missed a number of tackles and looked burnt out by half time. I suspect he needs to learn not to go too hard too early; he should pace himself over 60 minutes, not 20. But he's young and raw with oodles of natural...

Brock James would have been a better choice at 10.

Those numbers are VERY interesting. Saturday night should rate better than Sunday afternoon. Top two teams last year in the Australian franchise should rate better than 3rd vs 5th, yet the Tahs/Force game outrated the Reds/Brumbies. Not sure what to make of that. To get numbers that close...

It was me. You are probably right that it was planned but if so, then why didn't we kick it even deeper and drop it 10 metres in front of the goal line? Answer: Foley can't drop kick at restart height more than about 30 metres. It will be interesting to see how the Tahs get over some of...

Politics fixed this. The Kings are out till 2016.

The SA conference is looking like it will be one way traffic for the Sharks. How on earth the Stormers got a thrashing from the Lions is beyond me. And the Bulls and Cheetahs have looked downright ordinary so far. Durban final is looking increasingly more likely; on the last two weeks the Sharks...

No, but we want/need to be top two and this is not how top two plays. Chiefs, Crusaders, Brumbies, Sharks and Reds will all beat us unless we improve markedly. We have the following match sequence: Reds (H), bye, Brumbies (A), Rebels (H), Sharks (A), Stormers (A). On what I saw, you couldn't...

On what we've seen of the Cheetahs so far, if the Rebels play to their trial form they will win easily.

I think at the moment he is being over-used. He doesn't have to be the only candidate for the forward runner wide of the ruck. I thought Dennis could have been used a lot more in that role - I can't remember him making one run.

On the two displays last weekend you would have to say the Reds will be clear favourites this week. Although I thought the Reds were very lucky to beat the Brumbies, who looked the better team especially in the second half, the Waratahs displayed some terrible skills and at times the Force...

Had a prior commitment and couldn't watch the game till late last night. By the end of it I was really, really unhappy. Yes we scored six tries; yes, most of them are lovely to watch; yes, Alofa deserved another for his brilliant effort; BUT: This supposedly improved ruck work is yet to become...

If Manu doesn't get game time this year he'll be off, and I'd be very pleased to give him an EPS spot at the Tahs, though I suspect he would go overseas. From a Wallaby point of view I am pretty unhappy, Manu has the potential to be very good in another three years with the right coaching...

Is Salesi Manu injured?? Ollie Hoskins will find it tough at 3 against Robinson even if he only comes off the bench. If its not an injury then its a real headscratcher!

In the years before Foley, we won a whole lot more than we lost! On another subject, I wonder whether Foley is going to continue his childish practice of not announcing the team till after Fantasy teams deadlines have passed. Given that this weekend the game is on Sunday, will he wait till...

Hit the bar? After the game's over I've got a three hour drive back up the Hume. If we've lost I won't want to sit around for a couple of hours sobering up and feeling glum. I will be in full Tahs colours, including the scarf to beat the frigid weather. In the past I have found the Brumbies...

I'm coming down for the Tahs game. What is CIT and where is it?

Never had a big wrap on Crawford? Man close to top tryscorer last year after only playing half the games! You are a hard taskmaster. Crawford's value is that he knows how to finish off a break. Looking at the number of linebreaks we made last year and in the trials this year that didn't end...

Anyone near the top had to pick the Lions to win with the bonus. Not sure that showed anything but "pick the underdog".
