I'm hoping THP?

Graham is a damn fine backs coach, I'd say whatever backline he picks will work under his coaching

A lot of players down, and still a class outfit! They could line up like this: Dean Greyling, Bandise Maku, Werner Kruger, David Bulbring, Flip van der Merwe, Jacques Engelbrecht, Arno Botha, Pierre Spies, Piet van Zyl, Louie Fouche, Francois Hougaard, Jan Serfontein, JJ Engelbrecht, Bjorn...

Pretty sure they're still sulking around Europe after not getting into the Currie Cup Premier division. Plus, most of their players have buggered off.

Rebels should invite the Stormers over the week before Super Rugby starts for a trial match. They don't play each other in the regular season and both have the first week off.

A good LHP does make it easy for his THP.

Unfortunately it is too late to add Lesser Lawrence :P

Envious of the Reds not playing the Chiefs or the Bulls!

Draw has been announced, here's the table: Here's a table of who isn't playing who. I'd say the worst off are the Brumbies and the Hurricanes, while the best off are the Reds, the Bulls and the Highlanders. In terms of byes, the Rebels are screwed with the first two rounds of byes and...

Deans appears to be over in Japan working with Panasonic Wild Knights, semi finalists in the Top League last season. Source: http://jrfu.org/jrfu/index.php/component/k2/item/139-barnes-makes-winning-start-for-panasonic

George Smith has played 356 minutes over 5 games this season, winning 4/5 games and scoring two tries.

I second that louie. Great coach, great guy and wish him nothing but the best in the future. Except when he takes on the Brumbies/Wallabies, then I hope he loses :P

Jake White confirmed to be director of coaching at the Sharks: Source: http://www.sharksrugby.co.za/news#article2141714

So we all know there is a gap in quality for international refs, but I'd just like an indication into who we think are good and who we think are bad. For mine, Owens and Joubert are the best in the world. Walsh and Barnes are pretty good most of the time but when they're bad, they're really...

From Ruckin Good Stats:

In the short time you noticed Foley, where as White might as well have not been there. I feel it's fair to praise Foley for doing work with little time, but not to criticise White for not getting through as much work.

12 tries in 6 games, only one of which where the game plan worked.

Confidence is a weird thing though, you don't care if it was a weak/poor opposition if you played your plan well. I still reckon the Darkness will take it, but I don't think the Wallabies will do their usual points leaking around half time and from 50-70.

Game plan finally comes together. Taking a shot at the G&GR player ratings: Slipper - 4, not really effective Moore - 6, did his job well, not a standout Alexander - 5, got better as the game went on after a meh start Simmons - 5, would be 6 but for his card Horwill - 6, worked really hard off...

Not because of the opposition, because the game plan finally worked :P
