+ 1 this. To'omua 10, Gits 12, /hux 15 and AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) roving is the winner methinks. The polish will come - it is still quite early in the S15, and this win was essential.

Our problem has never been individual players. Our first XV is usually competitive. Our problem is depth. Lack of depth is why we blood younger players. You're confusing the symptom with the disease.

Re: Tahs v Blues Bum hammy? I always thought the hammy was lower than that.

That's a bit pessimistic, rugbywhisperer. Blooding youngsters rarelyhelps you in the year it happens, but when it works it is an investment is success in subsequent years. Many of Australia's best ever players started their careers at that age: Horan, Campese, Giteau... there are way too many to...

Pocock is the same weight as Elsom and at least as strong.

Erm, it's an average.

I'm a Brumbies fan but Davies is palpably faster than Fainofo.

What Australia needs is a pool of winger with real gas, regardless of their current shortcomings. In a season or two the quality will rise to the top. I can envisage both Davies and Morahan starting for the Wallabies, and terrorising oppositions, a la Roff and Tune. Good on Queesland for giving...

We're very well-placed after a draw of away games.

Nonsense re Pocock. Already better than Smith.

That lounge looks awfully familiar - Brissie QANTAS Club by any chance?

Agreed. Sports forums are like pubs, not like debating societies. Strong opinions, whether they be right or wrong, are what makes them tick by adding heat to the conversation. Besides, if reasonableness were a requirement then some posters would never get a chance to post.

'm surprised by the people who are grouping S Finger with Nau. Nau is an exceptional international hooker. Finger, maybe one day.

Re: Rebels deadline ends, update here on what you hear. I agree with Noddy. One of the weaknesses of Australian rugby has always been the queueing of emerging players behind established players at S14 level. We see players like Kingi, a Wallaby, going a full season at a crucial stage of their...

Good post!

The best treatment for concussion is to turn the player upside down. And spear him into the Eden Park turf.

Yes, in two years. Not this year. The 7th or 8th choice winger.

The NZRU tried, but failed to register the jersey and silver fern as a trademark in New Zealand, so they haven't got a leg to stand on really. It is only the name ALL BLACKS that has trademark protection. Anyone can run out in AB jerseys and do as they please, legally.

Sure, but NN is very young. Let's just sit back and watch him develop. The Lomu thing is a press confection.

Like, not in a Super 14 final? Oh wait...
