NZ crowds have been very very disapointing this year in comparison to Australia and SA

Massive swing in momentum, Tahs are getting sucked into the Blues chips and kicking

Kearns' comment about Auckland bring cheats....how is he allowed to commentate Tahs games I'll never know

Just thinking that, poor effort. I've noticed this year that Crusaders seem to be the only NZ to get large home crowds consistantly, I thought the kiwis loved the wet!

So much critisism of the reds props on here. Yes scrummaging is a problem but props how many props can you name at their age who consistantly dominate other scrums. This is Slipper's second professional year, fair to say he is a great prospect in the future and deserves to be the starting...

Great analysis Light, very on target there

Volavola...not after watching the U20's haha. Matt Brandon for sure

Much rather play the Blues or Sharks. Simply because even though the Tahs are depleted player wise, they are a bogey side. Then again I'd love nothing more then beating them in the semi

All this talk about Elsom's attitude and stuff behind the scenes might be the general consensus, but the fact is there has been no credited media reports on the matter. I get the feeling though, after the World Cup, if he heads overseas, all of this will come out in the media.

I love how you can see Horwill taking a picture in the reflection.

I assume you mean't Palmer? Cause Slipper is the complete opposite to that description haha

Yep it doesn't look too bad. I hope in future years it gets presented at the end of the last fixture game.

Gutted for Hynsie. One of my favourite players and it is such a shame injuries have kept him from earning more wallaby caps. Hope he recovers for next season.

So many Tigers on this thread haha. On Stollberg I should of said he spent most of his schoolboy days injured, good to see him come through the colts ranks to get an Academy spot. For spectator, my easts top 5 would be 1- Aiden Toua 2- Matt Brandon 3-Ed Quirk 4-Toby White 5- Luke Bertini...

Apparently Michalak is covering for their half backs, even though he won't be playing there. I'd like to know the Vickerman story as well.

Yeah my thoughts exactly. Turner has never been disapointing in the Wallabies jersey, and Shepherd has been brilliant this year when he's not injured. Gerrard has been great, but his style of play is fairly different to the rest of the backline and I don't think we need another fullback cover (...

I've said it before, the wing reserves are a worry. Ioane and O'Connor starting (assuming mitchell is injured), but aside from those guys no one has stood out to me. We have a bunch of consistantly consistant players fighting for 2 or 3 spots. Morahan, Turner, Davies, Cummins, Gerrard, Shepherd...

Nar Phipps was definatly the best rookie this year. Vaea and Pyle also impressed. Personally I thought Quade Cooper had a better season to date then Genia. David Pocock finishing 5th shows how good this bloke is, he played half the season!

A.Fainga'a says he is fit for selection for the semi. Excellent news.
