Shatz doesn't play 7. Why would you play him as a 7? Mowen has been playing fine for a season and 3 games. Not sure what more he could do to replace incumbent wallabies who he has been outplaying for that time period. Other than going back to tahs. That would ensure his selection.

Bwhahaha, that is priceless stuff. I wonder how these statements are translated into non-english speaking newspapers and how many of the translators working there have been fired by the editors for jibberish?

Great game by the brumbies. Great try to end the game too.

Brumbies playing some great footy here. Good game to watch. (Will be even better if the brumbies pile on some more points like they look like should do.)

Great stuff by the Brumbies so far. It augers well for the rest of the season. Hope poey is ok.

Cooper needs to really lift his game immeasurably as well if he thinks he is going to get his wallaby jersey back. He is putting his forwards under enormous pressure by forcing them to defend for 20 minutes straight due to his repeated (and often unforced) errors, and not setting his back line...

Australian rugby players are playing some incredibly dumb footy these days. It's like they are all completely unaware of where the ball is, where other players are (in defence and attack), where gaps in defence are, where opposition runners are and where the side line, and more importantly...

Pretty major injury to Morahan in the sevens late last yer - maybe they are just taking it slow in easing him back into it. In the trial up ate the sunny coast he was doing a lot of leg work after the game whilst the rest were signing autographs, so I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't feeling...

Only if they actually watched the game on the tube, though. Like Suncorp Stadium members there would be a very large number of stadium members that are really there for the rugby league and only turn up to the rugby come finals time (spare 4 seats on front of me for the last couple of years at...

Seeing as Sydney is the largest city in Australia, then it stands to reason the Sydney area has a greater number of Foxtel subscriptions than any other city (statistically speaking). Whether those people have chosen to subscribe to Foxtel for the sole purpose of watching the Tahs play would be...

I haven't heard that, but then maybe I am not that close to the speakers.

Just on the crowds thing from last night in Brisbane... The weeks weather was terrible. The week's traffic was terrible. Friday's traffic and weather was worse than terrible. By the time I got home after a two hour horror experience, I was pretty much ready to tell the wife that we could...

Actually, did Quade injure himself about the 50 minute mark? He looked to limping there for quite a while (like, until the end of the game).

Yay!! We were the least shit. :)

What happens if two men go in for the tackle at the same time and miss? Is that one missed tackle (since the ball carrier is only one guy who technically can only get tackled once at any given moment), or is it two missed tackles (one for each of the two tacklers who missed)? *edit* back on...

Nah, he only mentioned the reds were sliding in defence instead of rushing up.

http://www.espnscrum.com/super-rugby-2013/rugby/match/170150.html http://www.espnscrum.com/super-rugby-2013/rugby/match/170145.html Just watching the rugby club thing, and in Kafe's segment he indicated that the reds had 49 (or something stupidly high) missed tackles so fat this year. I...

Actually that photo makes it look like the Tahs ARE lifting someone, unfortunately it appears to be a Red. :P Just sayin'.

The best of the state of origin players are picked to play the test matches. The test team is a better team than either of the state of origin teams (theoretically). Therefore the test arena is still the tier 1. The global contraction and evolution of league has resulted in the anomoly you...

Because it does not include the best players at all. The third tier in rugby league is the NRL and all the best players that play in the second tier (state of origin representative games) and first tier (test matches) are all available to play in the third tier. Constant exposure of the...
