Which is why I suggest he would make a good lock in Super Rugby. Definitely not back row. He has looked off the pace in Top 14 for 2 years now. His preferred position has always been 8 and back in his Sale Sharks days he was dynamic enough to play that role in the NH. Can't see him keeping up in...

Why? You need some aggro in the tight five. In fact, you need a LOT of aggro in your pack.

He has looked well past his sell by date this year but it could also be the sulks. He hasn't been happy at Racing for some time. He will be a good lock forward option for a Super Team if he gets re energised by the move. Rebels can sure do with some mongrel and this bloke has it.

Football stops because they need to show tv ads. Thy have started to introduce more reviews because of that reason. They have the time. Agree with Lee that the impact will be minimal.

Dai Bando: This is the second week in a row where the English scrum stands up when u takes pressure and the refs let them get away with it. Italy are a good 10 away from being more than competitive. They would be a totally different team with a ten that can take command. Their forwards...

Why do the Australian media keep referring to Pretorious as "discarded"? That Tahs made him an offer and he accepted it. He was hardly discarded and if he has a cracker season he has every chance of making a Bok squad because Meyer, unlike the clowndecessor will pick on form, regardless of...

Right then. Seems like the Stormers have it all figured out. Nothing to worry about. All is rosy in the fairest Cape. Glad to hear that. Yeah Brisbok I have been here for quite a bit so I am getting my 6's and 7's mixed up. Trust me it's not the only confusion I live with. I have never...

No Paarl, I spoke about the Stormers and what I see wrong with them. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the Bulls. What facts about the Stormers are wrong? Answer that.

Paarl you should really stop taking everything so personal. I am not attacking you personally, I am stating fact. With all the money and so much talent in juniors the Stormers and WP have had a poor ten years when it comes to winning anything. Yes they continuously make bad decisions...

Rubbish. Do you think Kirchner and and Basson are complaining about Super titles? How many times in the last five Super Rugby years did the Stormers score more tries than the Bulls? Yes, go look it up. Where does Sadie have a better chance? A Stormers side who peaked last year and will slide...

Peter grant arrived well undercooked at the Stormers from Japan last year and it cost them. Will be interesting to see what shape Timani is in.

A bit harsh on Morne but also an understandable perception. He was required to play that game under Ludeke and PdV largely because of the influence of certain senior players. Under Time Lane a few years back he was taking the ball to the line and the Bulls backline scored some very good...

I also predict the Bulls are going to surprise people. You read it here first. The full squad is fit, we have more exciting backline players than ever before and there is fierce competition for places in the forwards. Making the playoffs will be huge and I think we will just fall short but...

Whilst preseason form is little to go by it seems as if the Stormers still don't really know who is their first choice 10. I also see Duvenhage is only just back so they might have a rookie 9 and 10? Considering they struggled to score tries last year this must be a big worry in the Cape? Can...

Some interesting developments in SA with both Bryan Habana and JP Pietersen being moved into 13 by the Stormers and Sharks respectively. Whilst I think it's an interesting move, it also shows up some pretty dire recruitment processes at both franchises. The Stormers botched the whole process...

Considering their injury toll that was a damn solid Welsh performance. And Priestland had possibly his worst test match and they still won. Ireland went to sleep for patches which cost them. George North is only 19. That's ridiculous. I thought the Welsh back row outplayed their Irish...

Uhm, may I remind you that I am a Bulls and SA fan. I get very excited watching forwards beat the crap out of each other and I don't mind much fair fairies running around with the ball. Scorelines of 9-3 make me feel fulfilled. The problem with that game was it had nothing. There was no...

Surprised at the optimism by the couple of posters here. England and Scotland need to come up with something or they will get reamed by the French. Nothing has changed for either team has it? Same poor skills, terrible decision making and total predictability. The word "angle" seems to have...

He played that game plan because he had a batallion of troops 100% made for such a plan and at the time the laws were perfect for kick chase. He will adapt and bring in players and coaches to play a plan that he believed is most suited to the modern games but he won't stray from the core...
