I'm not such a big Digby fan these days but I kinda feel sorry for him on those two. The first one he clearly had his head down and accidentally caught Habana low. He wouldn't have know he'd definitely passed the ball so he had to complete the tackle. Not much in it, he realised part way through...

Big statements from Lilo. The other press I read today had Lilo and To'omua a certain re-sign now they have rejected the Rebels offers. In regards to losing Douglas, we need to test Fardy at lock vs the Frogs. If it works, our loose forward stocks are a bit healthier than Lock and we can afford...

Fuck. We need Douglas.

Haha, wanna borrow Chook Fowler off us?

Without Alby it's a lot tougher ask. Truth be told, if we don't win these two the finals are probably out of reach. We need these two plus the Lions game to give us nine wins, and then we need one more either away to the Crusaders or Brumbies (unlikely), or the Reds or Blues at NIB (50/50) for...

Well done Tahs. Still quite concerned about their mental strength. They either seem to play awful or like world beaters, and there really isn't a lot in between. To see two completely different teams in the space of a fortnight makes me think that they still haven't quite got the team mental...

Only caught the first half. So if Nonu is killing it in super rugby does that mean he is going to be shit for the AB's? If he actually gets better in the internationals we are fucked. Beaten by Dismal but just can't believe how many stupid penalties Simmons gave away. They were pretty soft...

A camel is a horse designed by committe (I actually think this analogy is unkind to camels, who are very good at what they do). What a bastard of an idea. Why not just give SA 6 teams and keep the same amount of teams in the other two conferences? Still top team from each conference and then...

Cheika should call the forwards in before the start of the game and eyeball every single one and let them know that if the ball gets 10m outside the centre lane of the field for the first 4 phases of each play in the first half of the game they will be doing something horrible for the next...

I'd be interested to see what the ratios currently are. Looking at the Super teams I would suggest they are either at the 7 player mark each, or only 1 off (obviously dependent on the team chosen each week). Having a quick count of the Bulls players during the warm up on Saturday night they had...

What about Kafer's assertion on Friday night that for passes that could be judged either way, the attacking team gets the benefit of the doubt? I dislike drawing a line in the sand and saying that it should become the global interpretation, but in the face of the constant use of the TMO to...

Won't this actually be their first game on tour?

Alby was interviewed before the Bulls game and he said it was a 4-6 week injury, but he didn't look too happy either. Lions for him would be my guess.

No one is scoring try's like they were at the start of the season. Just look at the Tahs and Chiefs. The defences are dominating now as the teams defensive systems come together. In hindsight, this win was pretty big for us. In previous years we would have dropped this game, it speaks to real...

We'll be fine, George Gregan wished Hodgo good luck against the bye after the game last night.

Just catching this now and reading the comments above prompted me to go and look at these couple of gems. http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/community/threads/honest-assessment-of-richard-grahams-coaching-ability.10334/...

Oh and I sat in the new stand for the first time. nib stadium is a brilliant venue, now made better by a modern stand. Rate it highly.

Just got home from the game. Looking forward to watching the replay tomorrow so I can work out how the hell we won that. Both teams had plenty of handling errors but the bulls would have had a few more. But the bulls dominated our line out, so that should even that out. They definitely won the...

Someone tell Dave Dennis to watch this game and follow everything Ben Mowen does. Gets into Walsh's ear about the quick line outs and low and behold, nek minute Walsh is calling them back for a quick line out.

Was going to post the same thing. SA doesn't have the same stupid aversion to picking players from other SANZAR nations super teams for national duties. I would think he will be in the squad for sure.
