Always things to work on qwerty :) Some of the realignment in defence can be worked on. Carter was having to make quite a few cover tackles because others were out of position. Clean out and driving at ruck time was good tonight. Crockett's 'height' at scrum time is a concern. We...

Alas drewprint, the Russians have sold many a jersey as a result...

At what point did the Reds "turn things around" When he has been selected at blindside, has he approached the game any different. Not talking about the scrummaging, but did he feel he had to do "more" or "less" of something/anything? When did he become so adept to not rolling away and...

Swarley - just a slight correction, Tana and Mealamu are Samoan heritage, not Maori. But yeah you can't fault their passion and commitment when they've performed the haka. I liked it when Rico Gear led the haka.

Mank - no stat sheet will ever replace watching the game again and just concentrating on a player. Like our resident stats guru says, it's very time confusing. I did it a couple of months back when there was a debate going on after a Tahs game about TPN's workrate. There were some saying "he was...

I think this team could definitely compete with any and keep the scoreline close, the bench will be the more interesting one for me. Hougaard is an excellent impact player. There are a number of loosies playing in Saffaland that are full on, but will PDV select the right one? Looks like Danie...

Cunning doesn't equal winning, Bruce.... In my next life I too want to be able to read the tea leaves and justify every single manoeuvre the coach of the rugby team I support as part of some grand plan.

Pinnear was awesome in a couple of ML games i watched this year. He's a good bench option for the Boks. The guy that really has gone off the boil is Kockett. I was never a fan of his antics, but he was an effective halfback and had quickness to boot

Or they could really stick it to their rugby audience by showing 20-to-1 best league tries....

Agree cyclo, OZ just need to get the consistency from game to game right. It's been a while. The rotation of props over say the past 3 years for example never helps a T5 "gel" and build trust.

Crockett only plays loosehead prop.

I reckon Deans will manage Sharpe's playing time carefully in the lead up to the WC. IMO he is needed fit big time. Him and Horwill are first choice for the big games, experience, workrate and LO work. Where OZ have been lacking is that 3rd and 4th lock, because let's face it Mumm is not test...

Morne Steyn in no mans land in defence there, then Olivier burnt by Quade

Link?

And yet the Boks got penalised after a great hit by Kepu?

Did Marto just swear?

That was a good scrum from OZ, Kepu made that Bok TH bend in that last hit

"McCabe couldn't get to it, learning to play with Cooper". Turn it up Fox Sports, just admit it was a poor pass by Quade.

His line speed has been excellent so far.

Poor play from Genia, not sure what he was thinking there
