Now, when the season is virtually dead and gone, Tahs get Joubert for two out of three games. Lets the Appointments Board claim they've been even handed and fair to all. Call me cynical if you like but this really stinks.

Well, now Kepu and Cross are gone too. Barnes is unlikely to start next week and maybe is out for the season since he can't do a full training session without dizziness and fatigue. So what's left to fill out the season with? 1. Robinson. Playing up to his best. Tilse flying in to back up...

MCL = Medial cruciate ligament? Don't bad tears of the medial require a full reconstructioin operation? Can you tell if its not too bad before the MRI? Not medically knowledgable, but very worried about losing him for the RWC. He has been a revelation this year and should start for the...

I must have missed something, I thought he was out with injury. But Burgess was terrible, Valentine his usual dross, Phipps on a bye. Very lean pickings at 9 this week. I would have taken Swanepoul by default. Slipper can't take top spot till his scrummaging improves, although to be fair to...

Not sure whether you mean the aeroplane or the fantastic one he's got on his profile. More disturbing than Ozsash McPot.

There were a number of very bad Burgo passes on Saturday night and it was a major contributor to the loss. We can only take 30 to the Cup and this highlights a huge problem. If we take 3 halfbacks then that's one less outside back-up that goes (or alternatively one loose forward). I think...

I think Richie watched the Reds-Tahs game and saw how hard it is to get a penalty try/yellow card through scrum dominance. He did the opposite of what Phil Waugh did and I, for one, remember the deluge of Red criticism of Waugh's decisions that night. Consistency says that taking the penalty...

I reckon Alcock's miss on Lambie was just as bad. Alcock had six missed tackles, that's too many for me to give him any points.

I agree with this. Did anyone else notice that Bismark did the same thing but in the middle of a ruck so it was less obvious. It looks to me like the Sharks are making it a feature of their play..

Not an easy round to score because there were very few standouts. Probably why we didn't win I guess. 3. Hangers. Despite the first try I thought he showed that he did have the class at this level that all the knockers said wasn't in him. 2. Kepu. Although he played less than 40, he was...

Got me vidiot! Senior moment, they've been happening more frequently lately.

Watching on I-max might be good though.

Hard to imagine he has allowed his teeth to get into such a bad state. His PR people need to advise him on what to say next time. Greg Mico has been hit by a truck too, although he'll still be top of the log. He had Thompson with Messam as sub and Giteau with Piutau as sub. Still could get...

Harry is leading the Superbru global comp. This is despite preicting wrong results in eight of the last thirteen games. Nice to know even he is human after all.

Highlanders just lost to the Force. Great incentive because if we win tonight I think we make the finals.

Thompson a late withdrawal! ********! I've got Messam on the bench and he's on a bye! One tiny ray of light - I didn't make him captain - but there goes 40 points I had banked.

And an Eco-friendly sponsor. Unfortunately most eco-friendly companies don't have a lot of dosh sloshing around in their accounts like coal mining companies do.

You must have missed the Tahs - Force game in Sydney. Half the Tahs were out with injury, we were starting guys with no Super experience, the Force had virtually their best team on the paddock, and Graham came up with a gameplan that was "try to get the Tah fans offside with their team". They...

I agree with almost all of this post but would like to reinforce some of his points. Hangers plays a very similar game to Berrick at 10, with perhaps not quite the same defensive intensity. But at his best he is able to set a backline alight and with old-friend Carter at 12 and Kurtley running...
