I'm disappointed Saifoloi is not getting a shot, but if Lane's in they probably don't want two. Lane is way easier to spell.

Jeez, the Tahs will struggle to reach that number by March. Well done to QLD!

Oh, c'mon qwerty, don't leave us in suspense, I won't tell anyone, truly.

There is a major disconnect in the two sentences highlighted. Both Horwill and Timani are TH locks and Timani's lineout work is so bad that he never gets thrown to. Next year it will be Horwill or Timani (or Douglas) at TH lock with a jumper at LH lock. Someone has to be the lineout king at...

Deep alignments only work when the other team has tackling deficiencies that allow you to make breaks through and around them. I didn't see any such deficiencies last night. If there are no tackling failures by the other team the breakdown occurs five metres or more behind the gain line. While...

New Zealand are a class above everyone else at the moment. We will look back on this team in the future and say they were one of the best NZ teams ever. You could not, in your wildest dreams, say that about the Boks. NZ at home will be very tough, even if SA muscle up like the Argies did last...

Sharpie saw his role last saturday as the old, cranky, smart arse bull who was looking to rile up the younger SA bulls on the paddock. It only half worked because Sharpie is not the subtlest of individuals. There are a few retired NZ forwards who could teach him a thing or two about doing it...

This is not hate, he's probably a nice young man though I have no personal knowledge thereof. He's doing the best he can. My post is about two things - his performance, which in 2012 has been very poor and my anger at Deans for not seeing that there is daylight between White and Phipps and...

I trust this is tongue in cheek. Ask Kane which game he would rather play. You have to pick the best player for the Australian team. But with Phipps being our selected halfback, it will be the player Deans thinks is best, not necessarily the best player.

Trouble is we all saw just how poor Phipps was for the Rebels. I think that if Kingi had had an uninjured run then Phipps would not have been starting by the end of the season. Certainly Stirzacker was playing better than him at the end. White was playing fantastic football, but due to...

Well, the inevitable has happened and the captain's curse has struck. Now our best and brightest halfback is Phipps. Yes Phipps. The third best halfback at the Rebels. The stupidity of the way Deans has handled White is now open for all to see. Strange how a bunch of amateur commentators...

Although the NZ team won by 16, I thought the game itself was much closer. Argentina, if they recover well, are going to be very formidable and the Australian forwards are in for a huge challenge. In the first half, playing into the wind, I thought the Argentinians completely shaded the New...

That first half has just put the lie to Dingo's comments about NZ being unbeatable.

I seem to recall that Whittaker's nickname was "Splinters" because he never got off the bench, no matter how crap Gregan played and some of the time he was super crappy! Whittaker was good at the Tahs. Thanks to our great coaches we never found out whether he was any good as an international...

That's a T-shirt!

You had me going there for a moment. I thought you were referring to Alan!

I didn't know he was injured, but it might explain the level of intensity.

It's good for Ryan to spend time in the squad, but I'll scream if he is put into the match day 22. He's a THP with L-plates at this level. Our THP stocks would be OK except for the fact that half our total squad is out injured at any one time. We have, in order of merit: Palmer: Injured...
