Cooper doesn't need weak links in a defensive line, because he is one. :fishing

And Slipper has more international caps that Kepu and Daley combined..

A game at SFS could raise a lot of money for the quake victims.

Cooper did the same on both counts, but without the excuse of having scored the try.

The problem with dropping a winger back on the rush defence is it leaves you a man short. If the attacking flyhalf can count then there is always the potential for overlaps. Not that the Tahs play a rush defence.

Daz is right. You have to choose between the ultimate measurement and staff retention. The point of performance indicators is that you don't have to wait until the end, and miss out on your first choice.

Good news.

The hit is a recent innovation. I don't think it can be associated with the lack of flankers or the reduction of a contest. There were many good contests in the many decades of rugby before the hit was added. Edit: just read smartarses's post.

Nervous, tic?

He also has a good short passing game. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) would prosper outside him.

I think JOC (James O'Connor)'s performance at 10 bodes well for his prospects at 12. He is a very 12-ish, elusive kind of 10.

Nah, that's just the result of a limited gene pool.

I dunno. Beale is now a reasonable fullback and a good defender.

I guess that's what he's hoping.

Hard luck Force, who deserved to win. The Reds seem to have lost much of the adventure and cohesion they had last year. It could get ugly for them next week!

Eew, how Spartan. :-X

I agree. Rugby isn't a progression from conservatism to radicalism, with radicalism 'better'; it is a progression from low-quality to high-quality, with high-quality better. If the Waratahs can combine a solid forward platform, with a low mistake rate and electrifying backline moves in order...

It was one of the best games from Valentine in a while. He seems to have dropped the interminable wait with the ball at the back of the ruck while he organises the forwards.

3 - Coleman 2 - Palmer 1 - Moore By insisting on playing at 10, Gits may have handed the Wallaby 12 shirt to Coleman. Well... only kidding, but give it another year.

I thought Morty was badly out of touch.
