I'd hope players get grandfathered in to the 3 year residency rule if it changes after the World Cup. Not so much from a Scottish perspective, although Nasi Manu and Anton Bresler wouldn't be bad depth additions in a few years time, but from a Rebels perspective, Sefa being eligible for the...

Then bonus points and points difference act as tie-breakers rather than simply being put into a table of 3rd places. Besides, by then the bonus point should be +3 tries as it is in the Top14 and NRC, rather than the 4 tries as it is now.

I thought du Toit [de Jager] (the lock with the 6 year olds face?) played quite well against Japan, why would he not start with Etzebeth instead of Matfield?

I agree with you Reg, but it would still need an ARU rule change.

Maybe take a leaf from cricket? Preliminary group stage of 16 (4 pools of 4), where the top 2 in each pool go into a 2nd pool stage (4 pools of 4) then quarters, semis and finals as per norm? Host, last years winner, top 2 or 3 from the 6 Nations 2 years before top 2 or 3 from the Rugby...

I think the Namibians are joining the Currie Cup, there were rumours of Zimbabwe and Kenya doing the same.

Toby, Metcher, and Weeks all haven't scrummed during the NRC, while Lopeti and Jones haven't started as Locks together or separately. Hagan and Retallick also on the way too. I'm not worried yet.

Let's say 14 tries, 10 converted to 2 or 3 penalties. 82 points.

Structure falling to pieces for the Fijiians. 30+ win for Wobblies if the structure and fitness holds.

True, but decisions 5m out defending are more significant than 40m out attacking.

Thought that decision was poor, Niko was the tackler, he's entitled to go for the ball from anywhere,

Marto seems genuinely simple sometimes so can be excused. Others not so much.

Poor Nayacaleavu

I think so too. Was lucky for us, the pace and size combination, as well as clever lines was wreaking havoc. We still had a lot of work to do to grab that, and I'm glad we did. And that's another intercept try by a Scottish/Glaswegian Winger. It happens with such regularity now that it can't...

Exactly what we needed. Good first 10 minutes or so, were a bit fortunate with the Mafi injury but we got that bonus point win and earned it. Beat a winner, if we back up against the States we'll probably have 3rd under our belts, then we can hopefully look towards beating Saffas and/or the...

And the breakdown penalty finally finally comes, about 6th kr 7th time lucky.

We've finally, finally got into the swing of things.

Denton was fine to be penalised, so was Nel, in fact lucky not to be carded but there were a few before that where we should hqve had a turnover.

Not being awarded for the breakdown work. Hardie well over one, Nel over another.
