Lucas kicks it out to the left.

Great chase from the Reds lets Gill earn a penalty for holding out 48m in front of the 'Saders posts. Guildford was isolated. Lucas steps up to kick at goal as it is outside of Cooper's range. Crusaders have dominated territory and possession in this game so far.

These breakdowns wwill be a complete mess by the end of the night, Peyper is too lenient.

Crowd really getting stuck into Cooper as he lines up the kick. Cooper kicks it, 10 - 3 to the Crusaders.

Jono Lance has missed a couple already. Crusaders will no doubt target that channel a lot.

It's modern day press "churnalism". Journalists just spew out press releases ad nauseum, often adding little to no insight or critique. It's particularly bad when industries pay for advertising then deliver press releases that are little more than propaganda pieces, and they get published...

I think we can leave the discussion of where JOC (James O'Connor) got his sense of entitlement and ego from alone and move on. Safe to say it serves no purpose in this thread at this time. This thread should be just about done.

The wind and mud bowl parking are the horrible things, plus the lack of facilities at the stadium compared to the more modern stadiums like Suncorp and Olympic Park. A boutique modern rectangular stadium for the Raiders and Brumbies to share would be great, plus it would mean that really big...

Chalk me up as another that thinks he will head to Japan. Guess only. He'd surely be played at ten in rugby. Hooker in league is closest to halfback in rugby, halfback in league is probably closer to 10 in rugby. Could also play at fullback, I guess, joining the line wider out. Benji...

Harris is reportedly out, A. Finger still touch and go.

Would've thought that a Friday night would've then been preferable over a Sunday afternoon for the broadcasters (and Brumbies).

20,000 freezing bodies cuddling together for warmth. That new stadium can't be built fast enough, I hate that hole in the ground. What is the latest on that new stadium? Is it actually going ahead?

Cheika's plans currently are too one dimensional, but I think that Cheika has addressed that by saying they need to learn that style before being able to suitably vary their game plan. Hopefully we'll see that next year. Having that base running game plus a good territory game on call would...

Radio (can't remember if ABC or MMM Rush Hour) had Genia and Horwill playing, A. Finger in serious doubt. No mention of Mike Harris. Someone mentioned that CFS played for Souths last weekend. That'd make Shipperley and Morahan the starting wings with Ioane and Davies out, Lucas likely at...

Sorry, last post on this digression as we need to get back on topic. Just from the front page of this very website: http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/the-army-hosts-the-clan-rebels-v-highlanders-preview/ http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/brumbies-roll-the-clan-in-dunedin/ As I said, I...

Thanks for singling me out there. Highlanders = Clan, Canes = Hurricanes, and so on. They are very well known nick names for teams. Most rugby supporters will know them. Read any thread talking about the Highlanders and half the time they will be referred to as the "Clan". Much like calling...

Here's what really highlights the difference as to how some 10s play with different game plans. The difference is stark. JOC (James O'Connor) K/P/R stats: Game 1: 2/15/7 Game 2:4/18/10 Game 3: 8/14/8 Clan: 4/15/4 (in 33 minutes!) edit: Note that Hegarty had 6/23/9 in the same game vs the Clan. Quade K/P/R...

The bolded bit is the only bit I really disagree with, as I saw them as entirely different problems. Scott Allen really highlighted JOC (James O'Connor)'s inability to link with any back other than Beale when he pointed out how many times Leelo got the ball from JOC (James O'Connor). In contrast, Quade got the ball to the Reds...

Indeed. I thought that the most classiest of Waratahs fans were those behind the goal posts who brought lights to shine at Cooper's eyes whenever he kicked at goal - there were about 10 - 15 of them in a group and quite obviously it was planned. Apart from that, I could feel the vitriol...

Cheika's not a fan of the Rebels statement about letting Beale go. Not sure I agree with Cheika (he seems to whine way too much for my liking), but it's a different opinion.
