Yeah - Soccer City (great name!) looks like a spectacular stadium. But if the Lions get cut, Mitch will look a bit silly, eh?

Re: Mitchell to the Lions I thought there was a chance that the Lions would be replaced by the Southern Spears, or whatever they are called.

No one-point scores in rugby, Nusadan ;)

Click on the bastard!

http://www.lassen.co.nz/s14tab.php I've been playing with this 'what if' calculator, and I don't like what I see. I've got the Tahs dropping the game to the Hurricanes, and finishing 7th. If the Canes can beat the Reds and Tahs they'll make it in the 4 to join the Saders in a trip to the...

OPTIMIST - The Highlanders play this game all year long, and occasionally it works. They would have beaten any team in conditions like that. PESSIMIST - Our forwards have got nothing. They got saved by the backs last week, and in conditions like that it was their turn to step up, but they...

I reckon Rebels, just pushing them to see how much $ he can get.

Was Barnes that bad? I missed the first half.

I'm out.

Cheers for the props, but I think Bray has the right to suggest that Giteau's comments about his REFEREE were out of line. I think the way Bray said it (sneaky) shows that he's no genius, though. I would have said: "We believe Giteau ought to get a fine and I hope to present evidence to the...

No, not the Storm. http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2010/apr/27/premiership-salary-cap-tsar-warning No-one can keep up with the French. The new rules (in the Top 14) against foreign players will swing the advantage back to the Super 14.

Re: Matt Giteau facing suspension ^ pedant patrol, please lock him up. I agree with Tiger - Walsh and Gits should both go for a week.

Guys, don't you think Walsh lost it, though? I agree with Bray that he needs to work on his game management. Whether that means being dropped for a week or two, I don't know. If it happens to a few more Kiwi refs, especially Bryce Lawrence, then I'll believe that this process is working.

Shit - Bray 1 Scarf 0. I think he's got that 100% right.

You know, Walsh was generally incompetent, and lost control of the game, despite his new ink. Bray is a ref that wouldn't have officiated two games in a row under the current regime.

Some heights above sea level. Coca-Cola Park (Ellis Park), Johannesburg = 1763m Orlando Stadium, Soweto = not sure, but about the same as Ellis Park Vodacom Park, Bloemfontein = 1351m Loftus Versfeld, Pretoria = 1330 My backyard, Leura = 970m

And you can see the effect of the row in the silly Git's comments yesterday.

Here's Growden's form team. 15. Peter Hynes 14. Digby Ioane 13. Will Chambers or Rob Horne 12. Matt Giteau 11. Drew Mitchell 10. Quade Cooper 9. Will Genia 8. Richard Brown or Leroy Houston 7. David Pocock 6. Scott Higginbotham 5. Nathan Sharpe 4. Dean Mumm 3. Ben Alexander 2. Tatafu Polota-Nau...

So far, the Rebels have been making smart picks. All this talk of flashing the cash doesn't sound like Macqueen to me. If one of these blokes comes across for reasonable money, then it's a smart pick. We don't need more than one, so it's a buyer's market.
