Link's first I think with the Tahs. One thing you can say about McKenzie is that he learns from his experiences. I think he will plan to play quite differently than he planned for the two Tah teams which lost in the finals.

Awesome display by the Crusaders. The Stormers scrum got owned. I fear for the Reds next week.

3. Robinson 2. Cooper 1. Davies

Sorry Waves, in my defense I was working off LG's list. Despite what he says about the blue pills, he doesn't get much wrong.

Thamks for the news! Maitland got elevated to my run-on team just in time.

Bugger. Just when the game will be on I-view.

We will know by October whether the Tahs are up for fundamental change or just changes to the edges. The CEO has had the 2011 campaign to look at from the inside and review, since he came on board late last year. He's seen some good things and some bad things, unfortunately the bad things...

Kate Thomson. A fortnight ago she became the first woman to referee a GPS match, when she blew the whistle for St Joseph's vs Scots second grade. Today she becomes the first woman to ref a first-grade Sydney premiership game, West Harbour vs Norths. Read more...

While being wary of adding to the TC debate for fear of waking up the haters, what I did find interesting was the similarity between TC and Olivier. Olivier was the only saffer on the list and this year I felt that the SA centres were somewhat unremarkable - Ebersohn looked OK, de Jong was up...

Those backs must be brilliant if Tom Kingston can't even make the bench! Sorry Hawko - I made a boo-boo - LG

The operative word in my quote was "might". I have watched several seven's tournaments this year and I think he's got a really good skillset. Could operate at 10 or 12 I think.

In the review of 2011 Tahs performances we did learn some other things I think: We learnt that Tom Carter can play OK at 13. This is exactly contrary to what we learnt last year, expands our options for next year and adds to our backline flexibility considerably. That Kane Douglas might...

At 27, he's older than I thought he was too and this might explain why he was overlooked for the Boks. He certainly won't get a spot in the Wallabies while Deans is still coach, any back over 27 is on the slippery slope to the exit and he would still have to qualify by residency. It certainly...

Last week I asserted that LG's quiz's were on the easy side. Never again!

And yet, from the 10 minute mark we dominated the game and scored the first try with ball in hand. The Blues were back on their heels. It came on the back of two things. One was great, in your face, dominant offence. The other was attacking back running through the 10/12/13 channels, where...

Welcome to the brave new world of twitter and facebook.

If he has been an elite rower he'll have a good engine like Mumm's got. Does Cadeyrn mean he has Welsh parents? We seem to have already lost one Manly player to Ireland, don't want to lose another to Wales.

Just sticking an "agree" on this does not do justice to my feelings. This, from an outsider, is the best analysis of what's fundamentally wrong with the Tahs that I've read anywhere. Makes Spiro read like a dribbling 3 year old. The Waratahs are a business, just like any other with a...

That's why Gill is on the bench in a 5/2 split.

I think before round five, despite the Crusaders loss, they were targetting top spot. Then the wheels fell off and they were playing catch-up from there. Its why they adopted the "best 15 every week" policy (see 2012 thread posts). They were playing catch-up from round five onwards and they...
