A big game indeed. Very crucial to the reds finals hopes (as are every game from here on in :P ). Stormers will no doubt be stinging from their defeat to the rebels, whilst he reds will no doubt be ruing what might have been against the Cheetahs. I just cannot tell what the reds will be...

I should add, I don't necessarily reckon this exactly the team I would pick (duh!) but for the most part is is ok and will do their best to win. The changes I would make would probably be only two or three. These guys will be brave and play a tough game and this is what deans seems to have...

This is true. Those who have managed people also know that this harmony starts and ends with the manager.

We had a power blackout last night so the game did not record - therefore I will not be able to watch it. By the sounds of it I guess I should feel pretty good about that.

Steve Walsh is the best referee in Australia and is generally one of the best referees in the world at the moment. I thought he was fine tonight. The game, whilst not as entertaining as the blues/crusaders game earlier, was captivating and enthralling. Obviously I am not really a fan of...

Agreed, both teams have started at 1 million miles an hour. Shaping up to be epic.

Good to see the rebels win their first against a SA side. I am unsure about the legitimacy of the penalty try, but can say with 100% certainty that no penalty at all would have been awarded if the stormers player didn't act like a soccer player and pull on the jersey. Want someone to blame...

These are great. Well done, your hard work in preparing these is really appreciated.

Tahs on the up, Brumbies looking really solid. A real cracker of a match to come. Tahs are probably the underdogs and maybe a season off beating the brumbies, but who really knows in super rugby these days. I can't wait to watch this one (and that's saying something given my natural...

A good finish by the tahs. Only caught the second half - but I was pretty enthralled.

A definite 15 jersey for Folau - for all that is good and holy in the world pick him in his best position (and the position he has been training and plays in regularly)

Do you believe that the ARU and Rebels have not been extending an olive ranch or offering to help the guy up to this point?

I shall endeavor to find an animated gif that explains what I am saying by way of interpretive dance.

Thank you for the link. You should read it. Specially this bit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nielsen_Ratings#Demographics the bit that talks about how fewer viewer numbers can sometimes command higher advertising fees due to the target audience being more easily parted with their cash...

I should add, you may well be right that SA give more for the super rugby, but I was looking more for confirmation of that "fact". Thus my questions.

As I said, you must be right and demographics, disposable income and spending habits of the target audience would have zero impact on how much advertisers pay. I thought they might have something to do with it, but clearly I am mistaken.

Fair enough, I thought it would work a bit differently.

Is this actually true though? That is a serious question, by the way - I am not having a go at all. The reason I ask is that although the Rand is lower than the Australian dollar, I am fully aware that there are waaaaay more fans over in SA than in Australia which means greater viewers... But...

It is big news considering the recent players leaving. I think that is the focus they are wanting - not all the players are leaving. *edit* and a non Waratah player coming to terms with the ARU with a minimum of fuss is MASSIVE news actually.

Go Force. Keep the intensity up and you guys can win it.
