    They need locks to start stepping up also so they can consider life after Sharp.

    Reds vs Bulls 2011R09

    Next challenge is the Bulls. They looked battered and wounded after their game vs the Crusaders. How will we take them on? Fast and hard is my bet like last year. The backline should remain unchanged but I think we should rest Slipper to the bench and give Shepherdson a start, swap Samo and...

    Stormers vs Queensland Reds @ Newlands - 2011R08

    Looked like Simmons was calling. He and Hanson form an inexperienced combo and combined with a large vocal crowd probably contributed to a flaw in communication. I don't think blamming individual players is very productive as the lineout functions as a unit and the blame should be worn as a...

    Wallaby Outside Centre

    The backup number 8 is still open. Palu has been decent on his return and will only get better so lock him in for number one. I see a big race comming on for the backup position between McCalman and Higgenbotham. Mowen is in with a shot but these two having been in the circle gives them the...

    Reds 2011

    One game at a time has to be the focus. If we get ahead of ouselves the wheels may fall off. If we go one game at a time the rest will sort itself out. That needs to be the focus me thinks.

    Stormers vs Reds MOM

    3/ Ben Daley 2/ Anthony Fainga'a 1/ James Horwill Hard to give individual points in such a good team performance. Honourable mentions to Genia and Cooper for using the opportunity provided by the forwards so wisely.

    Stormers vs Queensland Reds @ Newlands - 2011R08

    I get the vibe of what you are saying but those kicks of Harris's last week got us back into the game. That in itself brings an eliment of pressure to the kick. Link is doing a wonderful job of keeping his options open.

    Stormers vs Queensland Reds @ Newlands - 2011R08

    Ant Fainga'a was solid at 13 and had good impact. Technique needs work but I notice that Quade has been getting his hands much dirtier in defence. Harris was solid but the strengths of his game with the kicking were well covered by Genia and Cooper. But what about those Forwards. Fantastic...

    Brumbies v. Hurricanes - 2011R08

    Congratulations to the Brumbies. They have changed things up and good to see them get some reward. I don't know of Tony Rae's rugby knowledge but I like the bloke. Very down to earth and he calls a spade a spade.

    Tahs were good at the breakdown tonight.

    Stormers vs Queensland Reds @ Newlands - 2011R08

    In all due respect to the Stomers, they played as well as the Reds allowed them too. Complete heart and mongrel and very proud of the boys tonight. Would like to watch again before giving my points but Daley was outstanding. Did anybody else lose the sound on the TV for that game?

    Fucking brilliant, absolutely fucking brilliant. Great game from the boys.

    Western Force vs NSW Waratahs, 2011R08

    I just got a feeling that the the Force will take this one. The Force I think will come out of the blocks hard aint I am not convinced the Tahs will have the leadership in Waugh's absense to counter it. The Tahs need to be patient and absorb this. Can they do that is the big question for mine.

    Stormers vs Queensland Reds @ Newlands - 2011R08

    Great to see posters have a fair dinkum crack at thinking about and proposing some stratagy. Personally I think threads become a good read when this happens. I noticed that all Kafe could come up with last night is how the Waratahs have relapsed on their early season form. Cracking the...

    Stormers vs Queensland Reds @ Newlands - 2011R08

    Not doubting you Lee but I thought Barnes lined up at 12 and Ant at 13. I think it is very important to address the issue of holding the ball in two hands as we can straighten and create space hit it means little if we can't get the ball to the man we have just created space for. This is what I...

    Stormers vs Queensland Reds @ Newlands - 2011R08

    Anthony Fainga'a has somewhat been tarnished by his Wallaby debut last year out of position at outside centre against the top side in world rugby. He made his mistakes but the way he was judged on one performance is a bit unfair. He will go good at outside centre this weekend. He straightens...

    Brumbies v. Hurricanes - 2011R08

    I have a gut feeling this will be the week the Brumbies click and put the Canes away in good fashion.
