What's the go with MMM? Is he still recovering from his injury or can we expect him within the next week or two

Carter is a great defender but I don't think it is in his best interest, if he wants to play to the 2015 RWC, to place himself in that channel when he is injury prone as it is. A Cruden-Carter first and second five combo would be run at all day.

Rod Davies is Filipino, and Beale is out for the foreseeable future, but I see where you are coming from, throwing names out there for the fixture.

Looks like they might be a Rebels-like Sharks meltdown in Perth if the article's hinting at disunity is in fact true.

My team composition is just a mess. Holding on to underachieving Australian players for round 16, relying too heavily on score per minute for my transfer selections, coupled with bad luck with seemingly ideal transfers; I don't think I can recover in time.

A few problems here. Deans is a perennial conservative and will not start Palmer, Mowen, Tomane and Folau, as they have 2 tests between them. If some are not omitted by Deans, they will start off the bench, with 90 seconds to go. Cooper will not be in the 23 at all, as Deans will play Barnes...

I think I might bow out this year. Pushed out of the top 1000 and now in the top 2000, not bad for first year playing but I shall come back next year a far better fantasy coach!

His ability to read the game, yes he has been impressive. But his kicking is not up to test standard; questionably not even up to super rugby standard. He has to have Crawford kick to clear because he has a weak boot.

From the sign of a crowd member, at the Cheetahs-Hurricanes match: "Sold my Bieber tickets to see Coenie [Oosthuizen]'s big hits!"

Wallabies team from the POV of Deans, at this part of the season: 1. Benn Robinson 2. Tatafu Polota Nau 3. Ben Alexander 4. James Horwill 5. Sitaleki Timani 6. Scott Higginbotham 7. George Smith 8. Wycliff Palu 9. Will Genia 10. James O'Connor 11. Digby Ioane 12. Pat McCabe 13. Adam Ashley...

Like the ruck law where you must use it after 5 seconds? Maybe extend it to 10 seconds to appease the NH but that wouldn't be a terrible amendment to the laws.

The top 5 was extremely entertaining as well this particular episode.

Urgh, Marto commentating for this match. I hope he doesn't profess his love for Genia and Cooper too much tonight

Unlucky Force, lost 21-22. Stupid infringements at the breakdown in the first half ensured we were chasing the game ever since, and it was at the point in the last 3 minutes where it was ours to win. A little unfortunate, but at least they backed up last week's performance.

21-22 to the Chiefs, second try to Dellit!!! 18 minutes left.

51 minutes gone, 11-22 to the Chiefs. Masaga has scored 1 for the Chiefs, and Dellit for the Force, and the rest of the points have come from the foot of Cruden and Hayward

12 minutes gone, 3-5 to the Force

Sounds like it's ideal conditions for the Force

If guys like Kearns and Martin berate an umpire's decisions around the breakdown in commentary, when clearly they have very little understanding on the laws, why would they start now with scrum laws ;)

Hurricanes: 1. Ben Franks 2. Ash Dixon 3. Ben May 4. Jeremy Thrush 5. Jason Eaton 6. Faifili Levave 7. Jack Lam / Karl Lowe 8. Victor Vito (c) 9. TJ Perenara 10. Beauden Barrett 11. Julian Savea 12. Tim Bateman 13. Reynold Lee-Lo 14. Alapati Leiua 15. Andre Taylor / James Marshall 16. Reggie...
