Therein you miss the psychology of complaining to the ref. Refs don't change their decision, but it is entirely possible to influence their next decision. Next time you see a captain make a legitimate complaint to a referee, see what way the next decision goes. In a 50-50 call, I bet it goes in...

If we are the 6th South African team, are you guys the 6th New Zealand team?

I reckon Tahs by 12. It will be a sloppy game in terms of execution and the Force will be an absolute nuisance at the breakdown. But the superior pre-season match conditioning for the Tahs will see them put the game beyond doubt in the final 20 after a second half fight back from the Force.

When Hoskins came off against New Zealand at the U20s, he received rapturous applause from the French crowd. And they know a thing or two about scrummaging. I am very excited about his debut at 3, although we should temper our expectations with consideration of his age. I know there aint a lot...

Comes with the territory for Fugistaller doesn't it?

Careful with where you take your piss Lee..

I suppose when I say that teams will counter them what I mean is that competent teams will counter them. Surely the Lions have to be favourites for the wooden spoon. I guess what I mean is that I don't think we will see the surprise wins they had over the Tahs, Stormers, Sharks, Reds and Blues.

I think the factor of surprise may have helped the Cheetahs a lot last year. Teams didn't expect them to have the starch that they had. This season I reckon they'll be taken a lot more seriously and their style of play analysed and countered. I'd peg them for 10th.

I fucking hate that attitude. I know it is a stretch, but what if the Lions made a massive turn around and had the potential to make the finals. Should they frequently get a less experienced, more lowly rated referee simply because they are not expected to? What does that say to referees? The...

Nah. I don't think it was a dig. Pocock went east after two injury interrupted seasons and those injuries were in the lower body. He missed half of the 2011 Super season through injury and was playing through injury at the World Cup. He missed almost all of the 2012 Tests. Given the type of...

That's not strictly true. We don't always have the depth to easily shuffle people about, but it was mostly Deans who insisted on playing players all over the shop. The All Blacks move people about the backline more frequently than you'd think. Dan Carter has played a bit of 12. There have been...

Totally on board with TOCC. It seems like it would be far easier to add teams later than to remove teams if the format does work. NSW Country could be great, but the issues involved in such a team means that it may be better looked at after a year or two when there is (hopefully) a more stable...

Two guys who have nothing better to do with their time but post stupid things on Twitter? Spoken by a person with nothing better to do with his time than post stupid things on GAGR.

Unless there is more than one, it was Round 1 against the Rebels. I think the idea of the kick was for it to be received by chasers in space. It was a bad idea, badly executed. It explained why he was on the bench for that game.

Played in last years U20s. Pretty sure he started most if not all of the games. Played very, very well in my opinion. He and Pat Sio will form part of a strong back row in the U20s I reckon.

For what it is worth, I wasn't hahing at you; I was hahing that your opinion of the Force is my opinion of the Rebels, which I find funny. We are all struggling not to be the strugglers. I don't agree regarding your views of the two teams though. I'd argue that our front row, back row, halves...

Can't seem to get the reply button to work... Hah! I'd say the same about the Rebels. We have gifted you far too many points in the last two seasons. 42% of the Rebels victories have been against the Force, and those have been dreadful games for us. Our goal should be to get out of double...
