Tomorrow night the boss is going out so I'm going to watch the S14 and HEC finals back to back. Compare and contrast sort of thing. With special reference to the ELVs. But also with reference to odd things like how come the HEC looks so slow and useless but then these teams keep beating us...

Like Monkey, you mean?

Elsom and Mumm might well go head to head shortly. We'll see.

Lauaki is a joke. Masaga is terrific, though, always does something. Donald is pedestrian, but he will have a very good backline to dish it out to. But the ABs are clueless without McCaw and Carter. Put any kind of pressure on this team and they will go to pieces so fast there will be...

I'm a huge fen of Smuth, but he's been just a wee but crep this year.

You have to love how the Chiefs play, and it's a tough call to decide which nation I want to lose more, but then I think of certain London Kiwis ... Go Blues!

Totally off-topic, but ... - security of property and rule of law have nothing to do with markets. - the most free-market economy in the world lags well behind social-democratic states in life-expectancy and most quality of life indicators.

I can see that. And by the way, when I was a lad, that dribbler Gordon Bray used to do all the calls. He always called France "le tricoleur," which I assumed might have been accurate. But he seems to be the only human to do so; everyone else calls them "les bleus." Anyone got clarification?

Messieurs, Could I suggest that some people could trim down their amount of quoting? Here's a couple of ideas: (1) Edit the quote so that it just has the salient comment that you are responding to. (2) Don't bother quoting them at all if your post immediately follows theirs. No big deal...

Ahhhhhhhhh, this side excludes the Bullies. My bad.

Lindommer - great work, some people here should get onto it. If not for this issue, then one of the other various bugs we have up our collective arses. For myself though, I'm happy with the status quo which is a partial salary cap, with partial central contracting. Let's look at the Super rugby...

You know, I've always thought Earl Rose had potential if he didn't play in a crap side. It's not a bad bloke to pick to see what he can do. Like James O'Connor. Bosman on the other hand ??? Haven't you got a better 12 somewhere?

The bloke in your avatar seemed to think the QRU was still stuffing things up. As I have said to fos on the blog, the only way the QRU are going to turn things around is with a couple of follow-me kind of blokes in head office. Someone like Rocky mightn't be too bright but I'm sure he knows...

Bone Hoiles. Gits might end up being captain anyway.

Don't forget replacing his contact lenses.

That Bastareaud sounds like a hard man ...

Brilliant. Is Juan now our "Chief Rugby Correspondent"?

Depends how we go.

The whole Butch James thing spoils it a bit. But that was a very weird RWC.
