Interesting comment there.....apart from history, why was that a game that really should have been won? I think it's exactly that line of thinking that bought the Wallabies down on SUnday.

Sorry - I'm confused. Did he make more line breaks than SBW or was he not even close??

For all the noise made about how diabolical the scrum is, the Super Rugby semis and the final and the Test on Sunday all seemed to work pretty well. What's the problem again??

Sorry, I was thinking about their attack but you're probably right on their defense.....

I, for one, was very happy with the re-appointment of Henry over Deans at the time for a couple of reasons. 1. I felt Henry (and the rest of ABs/NZ) was a bit robbed at the RWC. He may not have got everything right in his preperation eg. R&R etc BUT I still believe that the ABs didn't deserve...

He wouldn't have to make a decision then would he?

Leonard showed some real promise a couple of seasons back but injury has kinda held him back. I don't think he'll get back in the frame. I've been a Weepu fan from pretty early in his Super Rugby career....I love how he doesn't seem to be rattled by anything and he has great strength. Even when...

As a Blues fan, I'm also a Mathewson fan BUT he doesn't have a lot of international experience and with Ellis and Weepu ahead of him, I think he's fighting for the 3rd half-back spot. Weepu is my 1st choice.

Although he could play SOO....and then play for the Kiwis :)

I think it will be Ellis and Weepu. I'm not an Ellis fan at all but I think Henry and Co. like him.....

Perhaps....I thought Cowan was well off the pace in the Super season

His impact for the Blues on the weekend was unbelievable. He had A. Faiangaa making up new break-dancing moves and he burned DIgby a couple of times too.....I thought he was huge - too bad about the rest of the team :(

I don't think Rokocoko should be in the ABs this year. As a winger, can someone remember him beating anyone in the last 2 seasons? Almost every time he gets the ball he tries to 'Lomu' the opposition which only works about 15%-20% of the time. I'd much rather see Ranger or Gear in there...

My dislike is of Cooper is far more simple than that. His tackling is pathetic but he acts like a hard man eg. Hong Kong last year. I couldn't care less how many guys you can step or how many behind the back passes you pull-off - if you want act like a tough guy, put a hit on someone. The...

While not from the Crusaders franchise at all (this is the first year EVER I have barracked for them) this is what happens IMO. When you get anymore than 2 people in a tackle all trying to drive the ball-carrier backwards, it's almost inevitable that at least one of those tacklers will end up...

The original comment was that when the Crusaders roll away then they impede the play to which my reply was that they have to roll away to get back in the defensive line and so that they don't get penalised. Now I see that you actually want them to belly crawl back to the d-line or commando roll...

Oh....that's too bad. You should try using your legs sometime....you'll get to places much quicker.

The Crusaders should take heart from Blues game. I'm still dumb-founded by how stupid the game-plan was for the Blues. With big, strong ball-runners like Mealamu, Kaino, Afoa, Faumuina, Williams, Saili....there was no direction to rumble the ball forward and get the Reds committing to the...

Sorry but I counted it as 3-2 to the Crusaders. Did I miss one?

Rattue is an idiot - I think he's actually hoping the Wallabies win the RWC so that his hatred for Graham Henry and his man-love for Robbie Deans can be somewhat justified.
