He's been pretty well disciplined this year. I am very excited to see Lealiifano play this weekend.

Glad to see BB getting some time. I've been a big fan of his for the past 2-3 years, electric player and always fun to watch. Did think he was a little hard done last year always playing 3rd fiddle to Cruden.

What's the word on Sam Greene? One for the future by all accounts so far.

Benji makes Quade look like a brick wall on defense. Please Waratahs, sign him.

Pretty sure I'm still on a short leash with my landlord after the RedsvSHORKS game. Oh well, I pay my rent on time. Will be up in the middle of the night screaming at my computer with a schooner of whisky in hand.

Front rowers will return to the more traditional body-type and role. If Dan Palmer can fix his foot he could be a potential beneficiary of this, just one example. What I've been wondering about for the past couple of days is how this will change Cheika's attacking pattern with the Waratahs. As...

82 runs to 44 kicks..70% of possession kicked away, huh? They also doubled the running meters of the French (535 to 269) with 41% of the possession (49% first half and 33% second half). Now speaking of numbers that actually exist, why don't we talk about the fact that the All Blacks missed 25...

I've been doing some historical research on Stuart Barnes and he has been wrong far more times than he has been right in the past..:D Remember when he said Robshaw would captain the Lions? Craig Riddington Nobody said Croft went missing agains the 'Tahs. The point was that he was great...

I really hope Croft rides this wave from the Waratahs game so he can go completely missing during the test match and give us a better shot.

Gagger Pretty much. Say what you want about the Reds and the way they play the Chiefs but they played with a distinct intent and purpose. They also scored 5 tries in 2012 and 4 in 2013. Wallabies haven't scored 4+ tries on a Tier 1 nation (not including Italy) since July 23, 2011. There...

As a halfback it can be hard to manage the team sometimes, there are really three scenarios I can see where I've had to slow the game down before and I've seen Genia do it in all three scenarios as well. 1) The piggies are losing their shape and you have a secure ruck where you can reset the...

ACT Crusader I'm rewatching the series right now but as I recall a #10 made multiple handling errors, his nerves broke and he retreated into the pocket. Not exactly something new there.

He was dropping the ball well behind the gain line with nobody near him and throwing passes like he was drunk. Were we playing Darth Vader in the back field somewhere? We may have pressured them but Priestland's performance was largely of his own doing.

That would be no good for Super Rugby. A huge part of the appeal comes from the SA/NZ/OZ tour matches during the regular season. That, and if there was some kind of AmeriCanada conference..they would get absolutely pasted during the finals.

fatprop I'd wager Priestland frustrated them just as much as anything the Wobs did defensively. He was truly abysmal on that tour, absolute meltdown.

Anyone who has the time should go back and watch the Wallabies v. Barbarians game from the other year. Stuart Barnes was singing a very, very different tune about JOC (James O'Connor) at 10 during that match. Actually going back now he's been very wrong in a lot of his predictions the past few years. Nature of...

America will not become part of Super Rugby, you heard it here first. Seriously, the travel would be fucking insane even for a West Coast franchise. 12-13 hours to Australia or New Zealand and even more than that for a South African tour..factor in the fact that the player base (the body is...

Honestly on form so far North looks like the best option at 12 based on his limited cameos in the center. He made far more impact than Tuilagi did and against stronger opposition overall. Davies looked really out of place when he played 12 the other week. Williams getting called up..I love to...

Can't Speight to watch Henry bamboozle some soap-dodger defenses :)

What the hell is going on!?
