Again I thought Kingston looked good for his time off the bench. We have a logjam of goodies at 11/14. Bad news for Turner, but maybe if AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) needs to be rotated he might get a chance at 13.

With the benefit of hindsight after the Sharks result, they may not feel so warm and fuzzy.

At this stage, with updates to come, the top scorer has 482 points. That's well down on average, so I think that lots of people will score badly this week. Me included. Difference is that for me its pretty much situation normal. All you players getting 400+ every week now know how...

A couple of years ago a girl a couple of rows in front of me spilled some beer on someone else, which looked to me like a genuine accident, she certainly wasn't drunk. The woman who suffered the spillage took umbrage and the staff threw the girl out. What happens when its a delivery boy who...

Anyone know when the line-up is announced, Cheika has given some hints but I haven't seen anything official yet.

If Coetzee is playing his best available team, which you think he would against the team that gave the Sharks a mauling and are league leaders to boot, then he must think Liebenberg is better than Fourie. I thought Fourie had a bit of a slow start but had really hit his straps. Even if he's not...

Oosthuizen still not starting. This I do not understand. To my eyes the Cheetah scrum was in real difficulty till he came on and then it was fine. Not sure I really want to view the tape again to confirm, the last 15 minutes were not good for my mental health.

If we move AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) from 13 to 12 then we are moving a player who rarely passes one channel closer to the ruck. That suits Foley-type gameplans but not Cheika-type gameplans. The most suitable player to play Cheika's attacking gameplan would be Volavola but the guy is a defensive nightmare. This...

In my humble opinion it is way too early to be dumping on the Waratahs coach. They have had four games and three trials together. Only one of the trials had the bulk of the Wallaby contingent. They are trying to play in a totally different way to what they are used to. This is doubly true...

And a couple of beers to the tah players who waited till he was down safe before making the tackle. He was in the air for an age and I was sure someone would get impatient, but all credit to them.

there are no :)

I don't know where it can be found in the laws of the game that a 10 has to be the goalkicker. Lots of teams over the years have had someone in another position take the kicks for goal. Why, both Larkham and Ella, our two greatest 10's, were not regular goalkickers. If a 10 can control a...

Auelua and Mowen I'll give you but Kimlin makes a lot of errors for a test player.

Love your efforts and no doubt you're having a better year than me but... I still think my paranoia theory is a better fit with smaller confidence intervals. Look at the evidence: Picked Ben Alexander from the start based on his performance last year. This year he's 23rd on a points per game...

Me. I've had at least half a team of passengers and got desperate. Note: One of those passengers was Gear and this week he scored 72!!!

Absolutely right Slim, though I suspect you posted with a heavy dose of irony. He's been good value publicity-wise since he came over in a PR desert and that's raised the profile. But you began to see tonight that he has got huge potential. Some of the things he did tonight were exceptional...

The knowledgable Tah fans NEVER said that. We always knew that this was a year too early, especially given the problems the Lions tour will bring that haven't even started to happen yet. Lots of jeering Reds and Brumbies fans said that but their opinion of the Tahs is coloured by their...

If this is true then the same must apply to the Highlanders who lost to the Cheetahs last week. People should not under-rate the Cheetahs; they will always lose to teams like the Saders, Stormers, Sharks, Brumbies and the Chiefs but I reckon on their day they can beat anyone else. There was...

This is just trolling!

Yet again the only team line-up not available is Foley's Force (aka Folly's Farce).
