If we want to win the Bledisloe, we should play the All Blacks in Perth. They have never beaten us in Perth.

We're trying really hard to forget... but there isn't enough beer in all of Perth for that.

Based on last year's U20 form, I'd pick Dempsey over Gunn.

Only two of your wins have been at home against the two bottom placed sides in the competition. And you have a game in hand. The only upside from where you are sitting is that you have done your South African tour, such that it was. Of course you have to be seen as struggling. Prior to Gill's...

I'm betting on the draw.

This'll be a pretty close one I reckon. Pretty even in the pack. The Reds home advantage vs being worn out and a bit injury depleted. The big point of difference is the Genia Cooper combo. Target Genia like we did last year and we could win this one. If the Reds are smart, they'll alert the ref...

Anyone know how the ARU will be deciding who will be a considered a "Super Rugby Player" and who won't in terms of the cap of 16. Will EPS players be counted? Would a guy like Ollie Hoskins who has been playing for the Force but in the WTS be counted? If a player has a Super Rugby contract but...

I would like to see the Reds and Tahs win this weekend, but I'd love the Sharks and Stormers to soften them up for the next two weekends.

Happens all the time I'm afraid. Perhaps the details of how the punishment will be served should be considered in delivery of the punishment. But then people would be complaining that sentence lengths differ too much. You can't win. Why don't we just bring back rucking? Cane got what he deserved.

I like it. I'd like us to keep Rasolea, Ebersohn and DHP if possible. Especially since DHP is a local lad. I'd release Nathan Charles and Sam Wykes (as Sydney siders) to keep them. I reckon Godwin will get a look in on the Wallabies spring tour. It'd be great for us to keep as close to the...

Harry Scoble. Dead set.

I think there will be a fairly big turn over of players from WA at the end of the season. Will they stay around for the NRC- who knows? I think there will be at least 6 from the main squad and I am not sure what Ebersohn, Mathewson and Hayward have in mind. Take injuries, Wallaby reps and...

Sounds like the Southern States had the best forward pack and NSW the best backs. That might be a place to start from. Add in the guys who are still eligible last year (assuming their form gets them on board) and blam-moh.

I'd bet big on the Rebels for this one (1-12.5). They have something to prove. The Brumbies are probably a bit tired and if Kuridrani and Lealiifano are rushed back into the starting XV they will not be at their fluent best.

Reckon this could be an early preview of the Super Rugby final.

Anyone have team sheets on the last two southern states teams? I'd love to see who is taking the pitch and in which positions.

An upside of Hodgson is that he has great leadership skills. He has also had experience playing across the backrow at Super Rugby level. That's handy experience if you are the bench backrower. Gill and Hooper have almost exclusively played 7. I'd still have him 3rd in line behind Gill and...

This is gold: http://www.espnscrum.com/scrum/rugby/video_audio/219359.html Steenkamp hugs one of the Chiefs players in post match celebrations at about 1:12.

Thanks Redhead. Exciting stuff.

Just what we needed. Reckon Michael Foley deserves some acknowledgement for the past three weeks. The targeting of the Chiefs set-piece worked a treat.
