Was that perfect timing because she was so horrified she got up and left you peacefully watching the game for the rest of the evening? I am of the opinion that converting the Mrs, who all think Rugby is spelt Thugby, is a lost cause. I speak with some authority on the subject.

How many other current Wallaby selections who also play for the Tahs would you want on this list? Burgess might play 9 in a different style to most other Australian 9's, but over all three rounds so far he has been the standout 9, with daylight second.

Bruce, You are going to have to desist with this technical stuff from the old days. Everyone knows that Gen Y or Z or whatever alphabet number we are in, can't be told anything because they already know it all (ref. Brumbies backline). Ergo, if it appears that 8's are dicking around at the...

Those are bad numbers, Have you got a link or an individual breakdown?

The Rebels scrum is not real good. The Tahs, who were smashed on Friday, gave the Rebels a lesson in going backwards.

It was a great tribute to the Clan. Last time anyone beat the Bulls there was years ago. But I think the Bulls are way off their game at the moment. These three weeks are the biggest test possible in Super Rugby: Bulls and Stormers away, travel back, Crusaders at home. The Stormers too are...

I would agree that Crocket and Franks destroyed the Tah scrum after TPN went off. Up till then it was looking pretty even. But the worst of it was when Kepu was at LHP and it improved a bit when Fat Cat came on. But I think that scrum might have destroyed anyone last Friday night. We'll find...

Kurtley is no longer a defensive liability. Its like saying Muliaina is crap defensively because he's been beaten one on one by Coleman and a few other Aussies. When a good, fast, stepping winger or centre is in the open and running at top speed directly at you, I reckon your chances are less...

Not quite true, if anyone is to be injured you'd want it to be Brown, which would actually strengthen the backrow. But if Pocock is a 10/10 at 7 then I'd rate Hodgson as 9/10at the same position. If Wykes continues to play like he did on Saturday, then when Pocock comes back Brown can go to...

If Palu is still healthy at the end of the Super comp along with TPN, there'll be a lot less discussion on whether our pack is up to it or not. We got hammered by the Saders on Friday but that was an almost AB pack doing what AB packs do well. I want to see another six to eight weeks of Super...

I did my PCL (= Posterior Cruciate Ligament) at 40 when I came off my bike. Took me six weeks and I was just running and cycling at the time, not playing contact sport. Maybe you heal faster in your twenties, but if it was anyone else than TPN I'd reckon 2-3 weeks was very iffy. But TPN's...

Mid table. They've played OK, but they are limited and the teams they've played have looked to be having a bad day. I forecast them for 14th in my ladder tipping competition but they'll do way better than that. I think they'll struggle against the Stormers defensive set-up next week and...

Yes a week is a long time in sport and a fortnight's even longer. I have a feeling that the Cheetahs are going to feel a bit of pain in two week's time. But Friday was very disappointing. Its not like we were playing like the other aussie teams, we genuinely looked like we were contenders...

I'm not sure that the Kiwis are going all that well. The Blues looked good till they got to Durban, the Crusaders have had two good games despite the first round loss, but the other three have looked pretty awful. I totally agree with the rest of your post.

Brumbies fans only think they're in pain now. After next week at the Crusaders they will really know pain. The performance tonight was poor in the extreme and their only hope is that the Crusaders implode in the wake of the earthquake (some sort of second game syndrome). A couple of weeks...

3. Burgo. Far and away our best player and I thought the only player who dominated his opposite. 2. Mitchell 1. Beale No forward except TPN deserved anything and he looks like he's crocked for weeks!

Pollock was truly awful and some of our problems came from that. The Crusaders were allowed to play off their feet all night and we were pinged even when we were on our feet. The Crusaders threw all their lineout ball down their own line and got pinged once. Lots of forward passes missed...

Before you reply MB, the Tahs record is 15 or 16 losses and one win under Kaplan.

Weather is looking good. No rain today and nothing on the radar till 4pm their time at least. Rain forecast for tomorrow but tonight should be relatively dry. Fingers crossed.

Maybe you're right for last week, though I really think Lawrence had something to do with the small 10 point margin at half time, given the total domination the Tahs showed. A score of 30-0 would have reflected the balance of the game. But we won the five points so I was/am a very happy man...
