They can't advance not matter if they are all the way on the other side of the field of where the ball is....they get pinged for advancing.

what?? ??

If you're right, it's genius that he's never caught :)

McCaw

Actually, I did something close to 60m in our last game 2 weekends ago..... :)

and David Smith played at my old club back home - Ponsonby.....the starting ground for many great All Blacks!! NO EASY PONY!!

That gave me a good chuckle for the day....nice :)

My team... T. Smith, MacKintosh (Blaauw) Mealamu (Robinson) Chisholm, Sykes (Campbell - I spose he'll score 2 tries now I've benched him) Lam, Thompson, Waldrom (Whiteley.....I hope my dropping of Kaino doesn't backfire on me this week) Pretorius (Phipps....again, I wonder if this guy has...

Kurtis has been a mainstay at lock for the Blues and Auckland for a number of years now. He's a really nice guy who has stepped up this year in my opinion. I really pray everything goes well for him. As a useless bit of trivia - his brother is an amazing dancer/performer who came 2nd in the...

I miss the Rugby Channel on Sky Sport in NZ :(

Not even close. Dougie may have actually gotten better as he slowed down. He didn't have the top end pace at the end but the hard work you mention was very effective and he still scored tries. Maybe it is hard as I'm really going off this season but there's been maybe 3-4 tries that I think he...

Yeah, I'd probably agree with that. Would you have said the same thing last year though? Because if you would have, then that sizzling form didn't translate into the Tests....I'd agree though that the injury probably held him back more than he publicly admitted so who knows?? The June Tests...

The problem with the NSW back-line is that apart from Beale and Mitchell, it has absolutely zero x-factor in it. Turner has gas to burn but he can't score a try - unless the line is wide open, there's less than 20m to get to it, there's no defense to beat and the ball has been strapped to his...

I'd take Weepu and Cowan on their international form before I took Genia. I'm admittedly biased but I don't think there's a lot of arguement that he was hardly the 'danger' he was talked up to be last year. That may well change this year but I'd personally want to see it before making him...

That would mean that Wayne Barnes never refs another All Black game....lol

They are very, very good. I really thought they would fall apart after they lost those 2 games just before their bye but I think Jamie Jospeh is proving he's a bloody good coach. No-one thought they would be the the 2nd best team in NZ....

Unfortunately, the worst thing that could have happened for the Force is that the Crusaders lost to the Highlanders on the weekend.

Ouch....that's a pretty harsh call to make on the Captain of the Wallabies.....

No...international halfbacks.....maybe I have been expecting too much from him? Before the first couple of AB/WB Tests last year there was a heap of talk about how dangerous Genia was....I didn't really see any 'danger' from him the whole of the Test calendar

I don't know if a lot of other coaches have something like this but Pat seems very open and genuine and I like the direction he seems to be taking the Blues.
