They haven't been too hot on the road this year though and sooooo much relies on Mogg being on song.

Not sure if his HS are acting up again but honestly after the beginning of this year I wouldn't trust him in a match like this.

Reds team announced: I'd like to CFS make a name for himself in this match but I'm starting to feel like a broken record stuck on repeat. Lance at 12 has me feeling pretty uneasy but I understand why he's there. Gonna be a long end to the week waiting for this one...

Brumbies will sneak this if the weather is dour but will lose away from home in the next round.

AngrySeahorse They absolutely demolished the Chiefs but I agree the Hurricanes game was a bit shaky. I think the Crusaders are renowned because when it all 'clicks' (which seems to happen more often with them than with other teams) they can absolutely dismantle a squad. I think the game...

BOD would be too good be he has been really touch and go with injuries this past year and is getting quite old - wouldn't be cheap either. Who knows though. He sure as hell isn't going to NZ is for sure. #SamGreene2014

Still think we need to see more of him at test level first. He was incredibly quiet in terms of acting as a first-receiver during the Lions series but I've believed that this was by design for a while now.

BarneySF It's real. Google 'Greg Martin Rugby' and the same story comes up

Where would the 'Tahs even get the money to sign him and why would they sign another 5-8th with KB (Kurtley Beale) allegedly coming in?

Chiefs have been under the same kind of scrutiny after winning last year and still sit on top of the tries scored table..even after losing SBW.

No please

All about the flash to your everyday punter I'm afraid :confused: About 25 mins in watching the match right now, looking forward to finishing this one up after work.

Frisby/Cooper axis should be good an gelled as they've been playing an training together for something like 8-10 weeks now. Also looked good against the Lions, Frisby has improved markedly this year. Will be hurting for grunt in the pack though. I'd like to see the Reds play a game similar to...

Testament that you can run the ball all over the field until the stats recorder is blue in the face but if you don't have one (or in the case of this game pattern, a pair) of standoffs who can put people into holes/not crab across the fucking field it all means very little on the scoreboard.

Argentina are seriously an enigma going into this year's tournament and that definitely has me wary of an ambush. The English series really doesn't provide much of a window into what they are capable of - they rested 21 starters for that series. El Mago fell apart against Saracens but that was...

My point was unless Taps is in a slump there isn't a large enough gap between his play and JOC (James O'Connor)'s to warrant the baggage of picking up Brand O'Connor.

He played well at Super Rugby level but also made very poor mistakes at 12 at Super Rugby level as well. His test play at 12 has been far less convincing so far and his Super Rugby form at 12 was inconsistent overall. He's consistently excellent on the wing though at any level. He had one good bench...

Braveheart81 I need to verify this again but I am pretty sure that the Wallabies didn't break 70% in any singular year under Deans. Think that figure does a bit of talking when you consider that it's 2013 and he has had the team since 2008. Australia doesn't produce the kind of depth SA/NZ does...

So why not hire a specialist skills coach? At this level I son really think the head coach joule be spending time worrying about/developing basic skills. I really feel like any professional organization without a dedicated skills/attack coach is hamstringing themselves in a way.
