Yes, I am very disappointed with this news. It saddens me because I would like to see our style of rugby play head more in the SNK direction. It's hard to believe that it's the Crusaders' and All Blacks' Robbie Deans who picks AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) at fullback and tells SNK he's not in the frame. I don't even...

gutful!

You forgot to add a smiley or winking emoticon, hi-jinks.

Re: Great Transformations. Background briefing on this post from the rugged individualist hi-jinks: 1. When I banned Cougar from the Scarf I told him that the reason was for using the word "deadset." 2. Cougar was stupid enough to believe me. :tard 3. All of Cougar's stupid mates at the Colo...

Absolutely! And until he matches up with those guys, his career is pure speculation. But back to the main theme of this topic: the matchup is going to be an absolute balltearer!

This isn't about Carter, it's about Tahu. Currently Tahu is about 0.7 Carters and deserves to be droppped.

I reckon it's both technical and mental. You need to practice certain ways of gang-tackling where the emphasis is more on getting the ball than on punishing the attacker or pushing him backwards. You want him (and us) to fall a certain way. See: Crusaders. You also need to be prepared to keep...

I've currently got a bug up my arse about defence. Particularly the Waratahs', Offsiders', and Wallabies' defensive patterns. Just to introduce the topic, I notice that the two leading teams in the S14 have very different For and Againsts. The Bulls are at 92-46 and the Waratahs are at 37-29...

I'd go the tuxedo t-shirt option.

I don't agree. Sheehan loves the physical confrontation, but he always gets the worst of it. Typical is getting niggled on his own put in, then getting so distracted about niggling back he forgets about the ball. That's the way.

The Tahs are finished in 2009 without him. Having said that, we need to "groom" his replacement. Ask naza what that words means, he's the one who told it to me. So, Beau needs to get in the 22. Plus, I don't see any problem with Waugh and BR on the field.

I don't remember calling a meeting? Ah, the belgian ale! Of course, now I remember. OK, TYS Special General Meeting will be held in the bar under the Novotel on Sat 21 Mar before and after the game. I feel more inclined to relax the dress code, though, Lindo.

i agree with all of the above, except naza. moderation in all things, son. i'm reasonably confident that waugh will dish it out to pocock again this year.

I agree Cutter. I reckon Pocock is hugely promising but not yet in the same class as Smith. And he may never be - Smith is a once-a-generation player.

Didn't see the Reds game, but the other 3 Aussie scrums all went better than last year. Fantastic news. Apart from that, some of my picks would be: 15. Gerrard (just to prove that I don't always (pick SNK) 8. Brown 7. Smith 3. Baxter

SNiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiK!

I've taken the liberty of adjusting the thread title. Apart from that, I thought it was a fascinating battle between the most interesting attack and the most interesting defence. Here's my prediction: due to the change of defensive style, the Offsiders will score a lot fewer points this year...

I agree with Noddy - it looked worse than it was because the piggies weren't committing to the ruck and the backs were offering no options. But you couldn't say that he was good.

Well, that's nice, but how did they play?
