The only person for whom this is not a dampener id JP himself.

Only 28 hours till all will be revealed.

The Force scrum is second rate so this front row won't be a problem. Next week however I predict Holmes and maybe even Hanson will start, Horwill will revert to 4 and Higgers and Robinson will he on. Next week the Reds will need muscle, lots of it!

He certainly will do that! Hold up the RHS I mean.

I assume this is because we have Foley and Saifoloi both shooting for the one spot and two into one don't go. Same reasoning for Cooper 10. / Barnes 12. I would think.

Dingo would not pick Palmer under any circumstances. He chooses props for their work around the field and then hopes the scrum won't fold.

On the Tahs website Hickey said Cliffy will be out for 3 weeks. Unless that includes the week just gone then Cliffy won't be back for the game against the Crusaders, which because of the bye means he won't start till week 5. I will be distraught if this is the case as I think the Crusaders...

Didn't one of the papers describe him as a monster backrower. Obviously they didn't mean it literally - he looks about the same size as Hoiles.

Q1: Does this imply that Grant is next in line behind Pakalani or is Anesi injured? Grant deserves a chance sometime this year. Q2: Is Miles McCaffrey brother to Locky?

There's a few strange selections in this team: Nic Henderson over Laurie Weeks??? That should worry a Rebels supporter, I would have thought Weeks at TH and Somerville at LH was their best option up against one of the best scrums in the comp. The Force front three got monstered last week...

He didn't jump ship because he thought it was sinking he jumped ship because he knew it was sinking. That's not such a dumb thing to do. Going down with the ship to the tune of "Abide with me" is not necessarily the act of a rational person unless you believe in the hereafter. And the ship...

And Kepu the second. Thereafter they can take it in turns.

It is. You'd think 11, 9, 6, 5 and 1, 2, 3 would be up to Super standard but that's how it is in the NZ structure. Their best player, Dagg, went off to play with the Crusaders to further his international prospects and that will keep happening until someone in authority puts a stop to it...

Maybe he's been reading Sun Tzu like McQueen has and wants to present the opposition with as little information as possible. McQueen was a master at it in his last coaching gig. I'd like to see Turner at 13, particularly in a game like this where you can rely on his defense against Morty and...

That's good news for Oz rugby and bad news for my season tipping competition selections.

From the article on the Tahs website: “Rob got some good game time in the curtain raiser last week and came through that well, and we’ve also had Tom Carter, Ryan Cross and Lachie Turner who have performed well in the centres,” said Hickey. “We need to make sure his return comes at the right...

To provide cover at 9 & 10 you have to have McK and Hangers. That only leaves one spot free and Horne has got dibs on that so regrettably Pakalani misses out. But it won't be long till he gets an opportunity on the bench - my bet would be that as soon as Horne starts Pakalani goes to 22 and...

Read elsewhere that Tahs team would be announced Tuesday. 2130 and I'm still waiting. Obviously a change of plan.

As I said, a bit of hyperbole. Interesting that only To'omua and Cross missed less in the 10/12 channel and from memory they didn't play the whole season there, though Carter missed a few games early on too.

If this is true then fantasy and tipping competitions are pure luck. And if I don't win both then I guess that becomes a truism. :)
