You old tipster you ;)

I would think that would come with experience and confidence. They have a lot of the ingredients. A bit more patience is what is needed. They tend to fluff it when it's building up nicely and the space starts to come. The pack is what is really exciting. A good balance between grunt and...

Why? The Reds are unbeaten and travel well. The Sharks have been nothing short of piss poor. The bookies have it wrong. Take the money. I have seen nothing in the Sharks play or game plan to suggest that they should be favorites against the reigning champs. They won't get the front foot in...

No. He didn't need to. The Cartel dropped Mils.

Israel Dagg is playing on the wing for the Saders because of a leg injury.

Saw the guy hobble around on crutches up at the shops this arvo. Jeez he has put on size since last yer when I saw him in club rugby. Genuinely good size for a hooker now. Poor bastard, but I guess he has years on his side. Knees are just useless things. I want new ones myself.

I can't find any statement by the coaching staff. I can only assume that they are easing him in? He'll probably get more game time as the season wears on. Maybe one of the other Dutchmen on here know something.

Big Sharks pack? Where did you get that? I love this carry on about "big South African packs" when for years the SA packs have been the same size as everybody else except for one or two big lumps. Too much Phil Kearns carry on about "big forwards" and too little looking at the typical pack...

I agree that it's early days yet bu the Kiwi teams scare the crap out of me. Right now I have not seen a Saffer or Aus team that can travel across the dutch and beat the Highlanders, Chiefs and even Crusaders. Good old Kiwi rugby. Beat you up at the break down and run you off your feet. Reds...

Inexcusable fan behavior at Loftus. Sadly there is always a handful of lunatics at Loftus. I hope they make a solid example of this fucker. I am not surprised by the result. We will have an up and down season. A young team started badly and panicked. No idea why they didn't revert to the...

Just saw on Seven "news" an interview where he denied leaving the chickens, followed by the interviewer bagging Union about scrums and lineouts...

The guy gets contacted for one of the most high profile coaching jobs in the world. He immediately comes clean with his employer, and then he spends a day or two thinking about it. Just what the F is wrong with that? I know a lot of people who started a job, got offered their dream job and...

Cheetahs bombed this. Fitness? Stopped playing with 20 to go. The Cheetah 3 practically lost the game single handedly. Three early engages in the last 15 minutes. Once, okay, twice, maybe but three times? Knob. Sorry to say this but the Brumbies look a pale grey shade of ordinary.

Very overrated player. Has not paid the school fees in the scrums. Saffers are talking him up because of his goose step which is a ton of fun to watch but I'd rather have a guy who can scrum and clean rucks.

I hope Jake stays. He has started a good process. Would hate to see him leave and I think he'll get his next international gig. He is still young enough. As for the Rudd comparison, is Jake also a rabid self centred socialist fluffybunny who can't delegate, hands out free cash to everybody except...

The form book suggests that at home in the Ring the Bulls should win, but you never underestimate Blues who can run every team in the comp off their feet. They usually do it when they have been really poor which is right about now so I am not feeling overly confident. Their attack has mainly...

Based on what I saw from the Brums pack in Round 1, I reckon that Cheetah pack will fancy themselves. This will be tight I reckon.

So some early season rust has been shaken off. Encouraging. Nomis: It's still a case of Australian spectators and media who want to change the game. The rest of the world for the most part aren't looking for much change other than doing something about the number of reset scrums which even...

Haskell has impressed me. I will admit that I knew little of his play before the Clan signed him and thought wtf? when they signed him. I get it now. He runs like a girl but he is brutally strong in contact. They have brought him on at about 50 mins in both matches and he cleans the rucks...

Oh I htin kthe Stormers will be favorite for that game but I still think you guys have serious backline issues. The attack is just clueless. One feels like the only way tries will come will be from some individual brilliance in broken play. You need more than that to win this comp and your...
