I don't think anyone does because it has never gone to court.

One advantage of the longer season is that we are going to get a better look at some real issues for next year: Is Berrick going to suffer repeated concussions and have to retire? Are Mumm and Douglas going to get out of their form slumps or do we really have to recruit three new locks? Can...

Every second week Pretorius plays really well - have a look at the form tab. Last week 9, this week the player you had to have! Next week he's on a bye so the week after against the Brumbies he's due for 100. This week should see a fair bit of movement up and down. Some players who usually...

What would be really useful would be to get a deep insight into how the Crusaders prepare their teams: physical conditioning, training regimes, mental approaches and game plans. They are certainly the benchmark.

Had a look at the Superbru overall comp. Its currently led by a bloke called Harry. He's a Bulls supporter from Pretoria, South Africa. He has an overall win percentage of 87%. This in itself would be amazing until you look at round 5. In that round he had 5 default picks (3 right, 2 wrong)...

I know its all above board, but whoever did the draw didn't do Parra any favours. Their first three games are against competition heavyweights - hard to build any structure and confidence when you are getting regularly done over.

White will have move franchises. This is what comes of romancing the coach's missus.:D There's a back-up spot to McKibben open at the Tahs.

Only just seen this, wish I had known JOC (James O'Connor) was at 12 before I finalised my fantasy team. Am interested to see how Jenkins goes this week. After the tackling he did last week he's probably still sore! Also interested to see how Dellit goes at 15, nice to see him get a start. Unless I'm...

And bloody good on them for doing so! They get a heap of criticism but I think this was a veerrry smart piece of PR.

You're a hard taskmaster, that change only cost you 6 fantasy points and both scored well! But I doubt Mitchell will see much ball this week, I'd definitely keep Poki on the park.

I must have a sick mind, but I just love the irony. On a more serious note, this tri-halves business seems to be a giant smokescreen for what is really happening. As I see it, on attack they are playing To'omua at 10, Giteau at 12 and LL at 15. Then on defence To'omua drops back to 15 just...

Link said something (in SMH I think?) about having a session every day but making it short and sharp. Maybe training in short bursts so that fatigue doesn't kick in allows quicker recovery.

I've got two issues with my team this week as I am keen to continue last week's breakthrough. As outside backs I have Fruean and Harris - one to go to the bench. Last week Harris was pretty good but this week the Bulls will be hurting and anxious to set the record straight. Fruean was...

Well, no Phipps. I have a lot of time for McKibben so I'm not distraught about missing out. The key question is who do we bring in as back-up. I don't think the juniors are ready, Seymour or Bredenhann, though better judges than me may want to differ. Who is running around in Shute? Bob...

Qwerty's done well to pick a non-obvious backline, but I am worried that Hangers is not really a 12. I think he can only play 12 as a second 10 and this is not a good fit with the standard Tah gameplan. What happens now when things get a bit ragged is that we toss the ball to Carter for a...

No 23rd back? Man, the captain's run had better be non-contact!

Don't understand the Chillyboy love. Ged Robinson is under $100K, plays every week and has scored 150+ points so far. He's the ideal bench hooker.

I understood that the South Africans insisted that the Super season not affect the second half of the Currie Cup. That understanding directly conflicts with the SMH article. Does anyone have more background?
