Nahh, I'm sticking with "wow" and "oh shit." Not everything Deans does is sensible. The Iti scrum will hammer us. Lucky for us, their lineout sucks, so we'll be competitive. I hate this team. Absolutely hate it, and I hope we lose. There, I've said it.

The part that I don't agree with is the idea of a "6" playing "8". These roles are flexible - within reason. Not every 8 plays the same way - plays the same lines, has the same job given to them. Plenty of 8s are jumpers, Palu is not. Leeroy Houston is a natural 8 it would seem, and yet he also...

Biff, it's my understanding that the majority of humans in South Africa would like the Springbok emblem removed. Of course, I hope that they don't do it, but instead, find a middle way. As I've said before, I feel that Mandela's gesture in 1995 ought to have been enough to move forward with...

Can't blame him. Is there a middle ground here, Paarl?

Can I quote on this eddo? You're calling out Redbeard? Okaaaayyy ...

That picture is hilarious - it's at the airport, isn't it? He's not exactly working behind the bar at Dick's is he?

That's what we've got you for, eddo.

Greegs's family is from Namibia, aren't they? I agree that we have to move on a bit from this poaching stuff. If I was a player I would quite like the chance of trying a new place to live. Part of the fun of rugby. In saying that, we don't want provinces and small countries raped. So some...

fp, that's what I was thinking - straight into a national role? Oh well, if there's any human in the world who deserves that kind of shot it's the brick with beard. Pato has the kind of bone structure that makes you go: "I'm in trouble here."

Me and Blue didn't have a program so we had to figure out who everyone was. We congratulated ourselves on figuring out that the 22 was Brent Russell. Wrong of course, but they're very similar. And agree with my learned colleague about Brown. Seemed to be a bit lost out there. As for parking...

5th team? The world is odd when Hodgson plays for the W'bies and BR can't get on a S14 bench. He should have a heart-to-heart with Marty Holah. Another one in the "what have I got to do" file.

First game at that level, SBW was very good. Would already make a handy player at S14. The problem is that we would have to throw major bucket of money at him just to get close to what he could get paid in Euros. On balance, I think we should wait until he does a Rocky - says "I have enough...

I was on aimless-kicking watch all night. Gits and Barnes get A-, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) gets a B+, while the main offender was JOC (James O'Connor). Pity. I thought you were on a second honeymoon? I think you've ordered the wrong meal, son.

Not a hell of a lot, no. Cullen was on a par. Caucau had some days when he was the best runner of all time. Just not too many of them, unfortunately.

Rocky said that he "ran out of time" to talk to the Tahs, and in the end, he shouldn't have spent so much time talking to QLD. Maybe the Tahs had filled all their backrow slots?

All I'm saying is that all the surprises were in one direction. With Pocock on the bench, we could have an all Force backrow. What justifies that? The Force has 10/29 players in the squad. Only 6 from the Brumbies: where's T. Smith or Shepherdson? I don't rate Ryan Cross at all. And I have seen...

Are you telling me that Rocky can't catch, pass and tackle? Provide a hit on the scrum engage, bound the locks and control the ball at the back of the scrum? Run good defensive lines, support their back three? C'mon! It's about balance. Plenty of times we've been beaten in the ruck contest by...

At least JP was good at it. Sharpe is a human sponge, soaking up all the energy of a backline move.

Mate, those players don't have the same skills.
