    Crusaders v Rebels - Super Rugby Round 11 - 28 April 2013

    You never know do you Ash? Carter will be on the bench for the game, by the way. There is a preview of the match here: http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/preview-aussie-matches-in-round-11/ .

    Brumbies 2013

    I guess that everybody knows that Dan Palmer and Peter Kimlin have signed with Grenoble - they must love Aussies. Anyway - I'd like to see how Scott Sio goes as a THP. He started there against Wales in a mid-week game last last year and he seems to be such a strong young bugger that he might...

    2013 IRB Junior World Championship - France

    Dunno about Hoskins - he's a bit tall to be a THP - or more exactly, for him to be a THP - but let's see how he goes in 2013 now he's a bit older and knows his tall body better. Not to the point of U/20s or WA bred players, but will Salesi Manu get a contract next year?

    2013 IRB Junior World Championship - France

    Thanks for posting that Gaffa. Videos of players are deceiving but even watching him with that in mind he still looks very good. I looked him up and he has just turned 19 so like Jake McIntyre he will still be eligible next year. The time he has spent in the Academy will stand him in good...

    Bulls vs Waratahs - Super Rugby Rd11 2013

    Those players mentioned as add-ons to the 21 left from Friday are confirmed as being with the Tahs in the RSA. Geez Willie must be going OK in Cheika's eyes to get precedence over Peterson and Atkins. Can't see it myself though he played with a bit of energy in the two games of the PNC (Pacific Nations Cup) that I...

    Maybe you are thinking about another J. Tuttle - brother James.

    2013 IRB Junior World Championship - France

    Looking through the units of the team: the front row should be decent with those guys returning as some of the individuals showed promise last year, in parts. The second row is going to be a problem again though, with two 2012 Schools players in their team. Staniforth is a tough young player...

    2013 IRB Junior World Championship - France

    It's a pity that Sevens players Cusack, McMahon, Fa'alava'au and Holland aren't available because they played last year and their experience in the tournament may have been valuable. Who missed out? I notice that Sam Reiser, a skillful but skinny lock, is omitted - but is there anybody else...

    Bulls vs Waratahs - Super Rugby Rd11 2013

    Quick Hands I also thought that McKibbin had his best game of the season; though that is faint praise: his management of the backline has been ordinary sometimes in 2013 there have been too many absences at ruck time. But give him credit: he had a good game. .

    Waratahs vs Chiefs Super Rugby Rd 10, Fri 19 April 2013

    Cam Crawford picked up the ball as one intrepid reporter wrote here in the "The Game Changer" section: http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/review-tahs-boss-chiefs/ Mind you I couldn't identify him at the ground. PS: How about my photo of Ben Tameifuna in the warmup? That's what I call an...

    Waratahs vs Chiefs Super Rugby Rd 10, Fri 19 April 2013

    Agreed - it struck me during the Brumbies v Tahs game that he was one of the few Tahs who showed up to play. Talking about showing up to play - there has been some talk about how poorly the Chiefs looked in the 1st half and ditto for the Tahs in the 2nd. The Tahs didn't let the Chiefs into...

    Reds v Brumbies - RD10 2013

    Interesting about the Americans; I took an American friend to a Tahs game about 10 years ago and he loved the set pieces because they reminded him of the restarting 'downs' of American football. The choreography of the lineout participants was of particular interest to him. Perhaps those...

    Reds v Brumbies - RD10 2013

    That was quite a game of footie wasn't it? It was unfortunate that there had to be so many comments about the decisions not to go for penalty kicks or about the referee, because there was a lot else in the game to admire. Perhaps Horwill should have switched his attitude during the game and...

    Very windy here at the ground. Expect a few high balls from both teams.

    ISA Rugby 2013

    Yeah - good luck on that, the juggler. Right now we are just looking at Div 1 but if we get a lot of 'hits' on blogs about ISA Div 1 games we could always change our mind about it. Cheers

    Rugby - not set pieces

    Exeter v Leicester - Rd. 18 - The two scrummies, Ben Youngs of Leicester and Hadyn Thomas of Exeter had a warm scuffle and laconic referee Tim Wigglesworth called them over afterwards. His lecture had only two words in it: “Handbags away.”
