Great to have a SA fly half. At least we can compete in a kicking duel.

I would like to have seen the other angle to see if Higgers knocked it or he dropped it backwards. But if it wasn't a knock on then it deserved a penalty try. Such blatant foul play in front of the posts in a two horse race should favour the non cheating team.

Why would you hook stirzaker?

Shoosh you voice of reason. We were having fun imagining His Darkness had given up on Rugby to be a patron of the slow food movement.

For the Force to turn up 3 weeks in a row would be a minor miracle. Expect the Sharkies to win by 6.

The thing I liked best about Skelton was that he had an aura or self confidence and had the look of a driven bright young man. You can't say that about a lot of rugby boys, especially 135kg monsters. His challenge will be keeping that massive frame healthy an uninjured.

It just seems so foreign to my mind that he would go back to League. I don't like League, but I still think it is objective to say that it lacks so much appeal for a player compared to Rugby in relation to depth of experience (Proper world cups, Lions, Barbarians, 4 Nations, NH Tours, OS...

Coming of age there for the gutsy Tahs. Love it. Well done boys. I was sure Dennis had stuffed it there.

The running game isn't working, time for Archie's dad and some field position.

Good point by Kafer. The Stormers defensive tactic is superb. They just move up (not rush) as a line and make massive tackles. Bloody effective and complemented by having a 12 who has a freakish read on defence.

Look on the bright side, Phipps ain't your problem next year.

Renee Ranger can't even break into the ABs. Phenomenal.

Oh god, I love the idea but can you imagine the vitriol around selections. I was actually thinking last night how awesome it would be to make a southern lions equivalent out of our Sanzar players. They could go up and play the NH nations once every 4 years, in the middle of the lions 4 year...

As much as we love to give the IRB the shits, you can't deny they do eventually make the correct rule changes.

Ha, good one. This one is actually an interesting one, as the Force traditionally win one a year in NZ. Will this be the one? I won't be tipping it to be.

Anything from the mouth of Campo is surely taken with a grain of salt.

As much as I think Genia over stepped the line a bit, I support anyone who might have some influence on RD's selections speaking out. They couldn't do any worse.

I guess the ARU are gambling on the fact if Link has become impatient and does go, they have White to fall back on. At least I fucking hope it's White, the useless bastards will probably give Nuci the gig.

His whinge was fairly justified though. I kept seeing us hold him down in back play and think, we're gonna get chipped for that shortly. But it never happened. You can bet we wouldn't get away with it if Kaplan or Joubert had been reffing. Good tactic though, no team in the comp can complain...

I thinks he had a bad attitude and they chipped him for it. After they chipped him the word in the Force thread was he just stopped turning up to sessions.
