My thinking is very much the same as Alex. I've had Guildford for a few weeks & now he is starting to fire with Carter. I don't have Maitland but he'd be handy. Blues players could be a good option, they quite simply must beat the Sharks, the pressure is mounting they may go as per usual but...

Listened to the interview. Pat Lam really carried himself well. I certainly agree with what he said about the centres - Jared Payne was a huge loss, going by last year I thought he was excellent. Nice to hear Blackadder & the other coaches getting in touch to give him plenty of...

With the maul situation its called a "flying wedge" the Bulls got penalised for it in the Saders game. Bulls won their lineout, brought it down to maul it but no Saders even touched a Bulls player in this attempted maul, in fact they stood back. So what you ended up with was a Bulls player with...

Despite the history for SA sides 1st game on tour being tough I don't think the Stormers will get the Saders at a better time than in the upcoming round. Both teams have had to travel from SA but the Saders are coming back from a tour & they looked buggered at times during the Bulls game. The...

Does anyone have a link to the TMO rules? Lions v Cheetahs they went up to the TMO, Mark Lawrence was heard saying over mic watching the replay on the big screen that if the player was in touch simultaneously when they put the football down for a try then it is no try. That's what happened and...

Yeah, I wrote up about this in the NZ conference thread. Happy to see the Saders execute a lot better though & they looked quite fatigued so it was a pretty good effort. Stormers are going great guns that is for sure.

All & all I'm stoked with the performance none-the-less, it was an improvement on last week. Forwards were fantastic but the backs impressed me also given they cut down on a lot of their errors. Across the park they were all pretty solid. I do like Crotty starting over Taylor though (even...

Wow, exciting end to the Bulls/Crusaders game. 32-30 to the Bulls. Mixed emotions. On one hand I thought the Bulls would win comfortably given the Saders recent form so I am actually quite happy that it did not turn out to be a flogging. At the same time I am blowing up deluxe just as Keiran...

Watching Cheetahs v Lions, just saw Ashley Johnson do what I'd call an "Aerial plank" with some assistance from some lions players..... Another interesting thing I just saw during the game was the Lions going in for a try in the corner, went up for the TMO who said you could see that the foot...

That was a great break from Mafi. I was excited to see how Nalaga would go for the Force given what I saw of him playing internationally but the first games he played he just didnt get any ball to be able to do anything for the Force. I'm hoping for the Force he makes a good return.

Far out your teams wingers are explosive & elusive - if only they got more ball! Agree re Cummings, he was taking the ball up & making good ground along with Mafi. Breakdown was def too slow & distribution wide was also slow aside from a couple of occasions. Pocock did some timely steals &...

I won't go thru all the Brumbies players but Kimlin was my most frustrating player to watch last night. He made some beautiful runs only to destroy them with a drop ball or forward pass at the end. I actually think Kimlin is a really good player but last night I was pulling my hair out watching...

Holy crap the Brumbies handling was shit tonight. Reds may well have found a keeper in Lane & could kick on from here. I hope White learns his lesson that Hooper should start.

Gill just had a brain explosion.

Amen to that. ;)

Release Hooper. Please White.

Thanks for bringing this up Brumbies Guy I completely forgot this was the same day as Shaun's passing. I never got to meet him but word was he was a great bloke & from a women's rugby point of view I knew he had trained women's rugby players in 7's I believe. An absolute waste that he is no...

To me they looked like hickeys. Why not go for a technicolor jersey, psychedelic man. I'm sure if the up & down performances of the Wallabies continues this year we'll all be reaching for some of those muffins with a "special ingredient". Very happy for the Reds by the way, financial turn...

No.2 Sportsground (currently Wanderers home ground) won't be available for round 1 by the looks of it but it will be great to use when it is ready. Could be ready for round 2 or 3 at the latest. Some debate has gone on between players of clubs as to whether it should remain Wanderers home ground...

Pretty sure that's what it is Qwerty.
