see McCaw driving towards the hooker to milk that scrum penalty in that replay just then?

Burger not looking too happy in the sheds....

Habana showing some pluck in having a quick tap to get a surprise try after penalty awarded to Stormers... It was the second time Stormers didn't go for a goal when awarded a penalty within kicking distance...first time, they lost the lineout. Stormers relieved that referee called half time...

Crusaders looking like the home team rather than the Stormers...

Blimey, wonderful offload in a congested space by SBW to Freuan for a well deserved try...

Crusaders having the most of the luck in the game so far, an intercept try and few well placed penalities to lead 16 to 3 at 25min into first half...

Not happy here...Sky sports here has listed this match only available online...so no live telecast...just hope one of the red buttons has it though! EDIT: Found it on Sky sports 4 Red button! whoo hoo!

Hard to believe after all these years, it was the first time ever that a Reds player scored a hattrick of tries in a match...going by what the commentators said...and what a match to do it!

Blues now within a converted try...

Not surprised there...Blues try right on half time...Reds' minds already in the sheds...

Just noticed that Stormers No8 for today Nick Koster is listed as an outside back in the fantasy team comp...wtf? Francois Louw is playing on the side of the scrum but is listed as a lock so have slotted him in my team.

Alas that game in question (Wallabies losing 50 odd to the ABs in the lead up to the 2003 RWC) was the last time I got to take my two then young sons to a major rugby match, one is now playing for boot money for a local AFL team after playing for NSW Rams u16s and the other is on a league...

Bear in mind that in the lead up to the Wallabies' 3rd most successful RWC campaign saw them lose 50 odd something to the ABs in 2003 only for them to win the semi several months later on against the same team...

With the 'blue' pills, it's no wonder that your brain must have been elsewhere, LG...

Source please, IA?

So from the article, I take it that he is the Tahs' marquee player signing despite not having played a Test match? It could make it harder for Timani to play for Tahs next season should he decide to play for Tonga in the RWC then...what's the criteria there for a 'developing foreign player'...

Bit of a travelogue here with a RWC flavour: http://www.smh.com.au/travel/the-naked-truth-about-a-cheeky-town-20110630-1gsgs.html

Ugh...the first two scrums showed the frontrowers hitting each other practically from a standing position...no such thing as 'crouching' there!

leads me to think why they designed the shorts as such...to make up for the lack of undergarments underneath all these kilts...
