What's with painting "all" with the same brush Paarl? Very surprised Piutau didn't get a week or two ban given he striked twice. The explanation by the judiciary didn't seem unreasonable but there will be team lawyers noting this as a precedent

Serious question and something I've been thinking about for some time (over the last couple of years mainly, watching all levels of rugby) but is it the Asst ref's call to make if there is a knock on? It appears to be so hit and miss during games and from game to game that I just don't know when...

I understand your point but I don't agree this is the case for a lot of games. Some games are close just because that's what they are - close. Rugby games for the most part go through ebbs and flows and alot can happen in 5 minutes to change the course of or even the outcome of a game. Be it a...

Not everyone in NZ watches or even likes rugby. In fact there are some parts in particularly in South AKL that there is a considerable majority that love league and don't even blink about the ABs

Sheesh. Don't know too much about Colt rugby in Sydders, but is this sort of size a regular feature across the board? And are these kids still growing???

I don't think we had the cattle to counter attack from Reds kicks. Marshall and Ward are not up to that style of gameplan and it showed.

Bring back the Bus....

If we are all reading into Deans comments that JOC (James O'Connor) is not the 12 and the Wallabies need a good hard straight runner, decent distributor, can kick, and most importantly can defend, then I still believe that AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) is that guy. Has good test experience and head on his shoulders. I wouldn't be too...

And that's fair enough Scotty, but by the same token when I watched the replay last night again on Fox I couldn't help but think that Robinson and Samo in particular were riding their luck. I also lost count of the times a Reds forward was on his bum sitting on the Crusaders side just sealing...

I hope the asylum hasn't scared you away Hooper dermo :) They're a lively bunch here. Look it isn't unheard of appeared family name special treatment in sport, but Colby is a talent and actually has a good knack for loose forward play. It will be tough for him to get higher honors...

IMO in a WC year if there are question marks over players, you play them in the 3Ns to find out the answer.

Keep them coming bigsy, Act 2 is running a little behind schedule.... He wasn't "warned all game". The team got a warning at the end of the 1st half after Whitelock went in on the side and McCaw infringed in an earlier ruck. So one penalty to McCaw at that point. Nothing unusual. When the...

That's where we missed Dagg and Maitland. Excellent in running off his shoulder

Reds have to be massive favourites to go all the way this year. They've got all the ingredients, an experienced coach, a winning combination at 9/10, plenty of Wallabies in the forward pack, have knocked over the big teams, surely they can't lose it from here...... :)

Diggers had detached......just wanna throw that out there :)

I don't think he complained about it after the match, even though Canno was baiting him. Whether or not it happening in the first 5min or last 5mins, fans will always find ways to complain about stuff :)

Where's all the technocrats (scarfy, gagger) we need some footage :)

Agree with the bold, and don't have an issue with it being called at the 79th minute, if that is what the ref sees. But again the McCaw special treatment hyperbole. Samo got away with all sorts tonight, namely just floppng onto the Saders side of the ruck. Beau still had hands on ball when he...

Stannard showed he can be creative with quick ball and was very effective at times. But the Force back 5 smashed the Canes loosies and locks off the breakdown. There was very little resistance at the breakdown which provided good clean ball. Stannard will be tested against more organised...

So which is it Gnostic. Stu believed there was still a ruck so your "collapsed argument" doesn't hold, does it?
