Tunkiri bombed two tries with crap passes to Turner. Turner was positioned perfectly for each one, and I would expect an international winger to have made the passes. Tunkiri is becoming more effective in close, blind side, through the middle, etc, but his core winger skills are shit.

U7s has two plays: pass the ball to the fast kid, and, pass the ball to the fat kid. Tell your boy to work on his kicking to the corners and we might have something.

Ginger balls ...

Moses doing a live score report here: http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/force-vs-reds-live-score Both hilarious and useful. We'd love it if this could become a regular feature of G&GR. My thinking is that if everyone puts their name down for one game, then we've got most of it covered. You just...

Is that like the baseball World Series? Rugby will never bring back rucking officially. All it could do is soften the anti-rucking law interpretation, which, I agree would be a good thing.

Many of us are annoyed that the NH nations were obstructionist, and dimissed some things without even trialling them. I'm very disappointed that the iRB were unable to do what they said they would do. Hence, questions about their competence. Anyway, as I said, I feel that the ELV has...

Yeah, true. They'll probably train really awful all week then get their frustrations out on the weekend.

But what do you blokes think of the ELVs? I think the best one is the least likely to ever get used, which is hands in the ruck. I loved what did to the ARC - reintroduced a brutal fight for the ball, without the serious injuries associated with rucking. As for the rest of them, I don't think...

This one is difficult to talk about because of Shawn Mackay. The Brums will be way down and the Cheetahs almost won't want to beat them.

He may be wylie but he's only human. How old is the bastard? He should be playing golden oldies.

This bloke is drifting off to Matt Williams land. Give him the bone and give Cheika the job.

;D Cheers to Scotty, fatprop and Noddy. :thumb

Having just announced the amalgamation of the Yellow Scarf with Green and Gold Rugby, I'm really pleased to be able to take this venture one step further. For the past few months, Matt (Gagger) and I have been talking to Bart from The Silver Fern about a joint venture. Things have worked out...

Re: Comings and goings at the Force Doesn't playing for Australia A (semiors, 15-man) disqualify him for any other nation anyway? There is a real issue here: players are saying that as soon as they get the nod that they won't play for the Wallabies, they'll take the highest bidder in Europe /...

Beale's kicking is symptomatic of his general play. Heaps of natural talent, but is having difficulty shaping that talent into a more structured form. You can see him switching back and forth from KB (Kurtley Beale) style, which is "chip and hook", to a Burke-influenced golf swing. Caught between expression...

It's not so much underplaying or overplaying, it's about your first priority being to create something for your backs. That's what Larkham was all about, and it's why Gits is a natural 12. It's also why O'Gara is among the best 10s in the world, despite being almost comletely immobile. But I...

I started for Chatswood at U7s. I probably played alongside HiJinks, now that I think about it.

10. Hangers 12. Beale is close to the stupidest selection idea I've ever heard. Mind you, I've been wrong about a few things this season. But the bloke is paid to write stuff in the paper and you are silly enough to read it. I only read the opinions coming from here. At worst, they're equally...

Link + Foley + Louden + Kiss is a bit of a dream team of Australian coaching. They could probably all work well together, too.

OK naz. I know you're not fond of grey. Black and white are your mates. But what do you think of JON's tactics during the Henry / Deans situation. Would you be happy with Link, Nucifora, Jones (!!!!!!!!) or Fisher as coach?
