Agree with John Smit in the post match analysis he said it was a good call by Joubert and in terms of tackling hit the guy as hard as you like as long as you're not lift him off the ground.

Cheetahs are so poor that it looks like they're the ones playing with 14.

Strange red card there, not from the point of view of the offense which was open to a red card as it was a tip tackle. What surprised me was that the touch judge said he brought him safely to the ground but when Joubert asked him if there was any reason not to give a red the touch judge said...

Bonus point try for the Bulls with the last play of the first half. Hopefully the Cheetahs make more of a game of it in the 2nd half. Would agree Charlemange the top NZ and SA teams have looked sharper compared to some patchy & sloppy play from the Aus teams. Winning sloppy could stand the Aus...

An example of the limitations of the role of TMO in the Cheetahs v Bulls game. TMO clearly saw a double movement in the scoring of the try but because of the instructions of the Ref he can't tell him so try awarded.

Atmosphere seemed pretty dead on TV too.

May as well just have renamed it the IRB Kiddies World Championship. Also why is it Championship instead of Cup, it's like they're afraid people will associate it too much with the RWC and therefore actually watch it.

Commentary mentioned that Harris would have broken a Reds scoring record if they'd let him take a shot with that last penalty. Still it was good to see them go for the try. If he keeps it up he deserves to keep his spot when QC (Quade Cooper) comes back but I don't think it will be at the expense of QC (Quade Cooper) being...

Wales v France is going to be a cracker of a game. But first up is France v Ireland tomorrow and it can't come quick enough. After the performance against Italy I have real hope for Ireland tomorrow, but at the same time my head is saying it will be the same old Ireland one really good...

Last time was June 2010 when France were 3rd and Australia 4th.

Very entertaining game, lots of back and forth on the scoreboard.

Watching the Lions v Hurricanes game at the moment. Gone to uncontested scrums as the Lions have lost two props. Maybe it will open the discussion about going to 23 man match day squads like we have up here.

Even Flood is looking at him as if he'd like to smash him in the gob.

Courtney Lawes is out of the rest of the 6Ns with a shin injury. Real disaster of a tournament for him. Started off injured, got on the pitch from the bench against Wales only to be stripped of the ball for the winning try and now injured just when he would have been fired up to make amends in...

Cardiff I believe Priestland will learn form the England game and future targeting from oposition and he'll be a better player for it. If he does it playing outside Phillips he'll be better again as the slow pass really has cut his execution time down. I don't think he's a Cipriani who'll fall...

Summing it up from an outsiders point of view Carter is a very good player, not much on the sportmanship front and a bit of a dick. He's Australia's Chris Ashton.

Agree with Gagger. Henry to Hansen worked so well because Henry wanted him on board so that he could hand over the reigns for Hansen to carry on his legacy. But that smooth transition still doesn't gaurantee Hansen an 82% win ratio or whatever Henry had with the ABs. Deans and Link would be...

Thanks for clearing that one up Spooony.

If you look at the very start of the clip Transvaal score a try and then they mention Botes taking the conversion and missing.

Spooony is the Botes who missed the conversion from Transvaal related to the guy who's playing for Italy or it's just one of those really common SA names? I think with Argentina's introduction into the rugby championship it's not too much of a stretch to Argentina clubs entering Super rugby in...
