Was thinking that this morning, we have been waiting a good few months now. I assume he'll announce at the end of the Force's season

Confirmed. Unfourtunately. Quirk is with the U20's for a while as well. Players like Brandon, Bertini and Wilder have to keep playing well to make up for the losses of those two

I think that's a good view on it. Few other players who've had good years are probably Ben Smith, Ashley Johnson, Wyand Olivier and Sarel Pretorious

Cordias thrown into the deep end a bit here. I'd rather see Shatz start and have Cordias come on late in the game. But then again he is up against Salvi, so should go alright haha

I can only assume Nick Cummins is being given a rest? Because he has been in good form. I wouldn't count the Force out in this one, I think they'd have to be the unluckiest team in the comp, if games only went for 70 minutes they'd be doing alright haha

You guys sound suprised with this outcome? hahah it has/always will be corrupt. I agree Deysel's was disgraceful, as was Rhodes (how bad did it look in slow motion). But Piatau deserved a few weeks suspension, doesnt matter what happened beforehand, he gave 2 hooks to the back of the head and...

I agree, all kicking the Queensland was horrible, as was the line-out. Scrums were pretty poor (not much of a suprise, Daley needs to step up his scrummaging). But to think that if Quade Cooper had a good night with the boot, the Reds would of won comfortably. Taking nothing away from the...

I feel all this talk of refeering and "cheating" is taking away from the fact it was a great game to watch between arguably the two best sides in Super Rugby currently

I think Danie is a must in the Springbok 22. Such a great impact player, which I think has hindered his career, because he has never been a specialist Lock or Backrower.

To be honest last couple of weeks i haven't haha, but surely Bekker is a better player, and I think Danie Roussouw is the most underrated player in SA, no matter if he plays 4,7,8

Man Ricky Jaunuarie is a joke, I've been shocked everytime I've seen him named in a springbok side. PdV would give me the shits if I was a South African, some of his selections are stupid. No doubt John Smit will be starting, and old slow Bakkies will as well. An out of form Bryan Habana will be...

Cheetahs have become one of my favourite sides to watch. The fact they are performing like they are without Brussouw, Smith and Nowkie is amazing, considering how much the used to rely on them. I really hope players like Ashley Johnson, Sarel Pretorious and the Ebersohn twins get a Springbok look in

Yep Gill is heading home tonight, Robinson is out for 4 weeks, and Rod Davies is back at training expected for a return by finals. That's the information I've managed to gather this morning :-D

That's what I've been thinking for a while now. Palu is dynamic (when fit) and can match up to the worlds best 8's, but McCalman doesn't seem to offer that much. Don't get me wrong he is a good solid player who deserves 100% to be in the WC squad, but doesn't have that explosiveness that you...

Well he definatly isn't coming back, as it looks like Liam Gill is coming back. Plus Link said that he isn't going to get a foreign player as it'd take them too long to understand the structure (or something along those lines).

Robbie Deans has a love for Dean Mumm and Chisholm, so I am almost certain one of them will make the Tri-Nations squad over someone probably more deserving like Hugh Pyle or Sam Wykes

For Australia the notion is ridiculous, but for Queensland it would be good

Wouldn't be a bad idea if they can't get Gill or Quirk from U20's. But I can't see it happening, Link has faith in Shatz to do the job.

I've lost count the amount of times he's gotten badly injured. Hopefully this doesn't dent his hopes of a full time contract at the Reds (or even elsewhere).

Also interesting that one of those 4T bonus points came against the Reds.
