I am not a religous man but I confess that I said a few words to the big man upstairs for the people of Christchurch. We have had our floods and cyclones but at least we had some warning but the little warning of an earthquake takes terror to a new level. Hearing stories in the news yesterday...

I'm with you on that one Paarl. The Blues are far too hot and cold to be talked up yet. The Crusaders looked very strong even without McCaw and I would be talking them up but the horror in Christchurch may have their minds away from Rugby but you never know how these things pan out. The...

Kerr-Barlow also. I don't no what he was listed as but I have always known him as Nerrada.

If the Canes have the bye, take the game to the cake tin as a fundraiser. The patriotism of New Zealanders will ensure a big crowd and I am sure that they would like first dibs at helping out their countrymen. It is a nice jesture from the Tahs though.

No I am saying the current coach benefits from the experimentation of the previous coach. For example Noddy retires after 1995 RWC and Greg Smith is left with the task of finding a new playmaker and dicks around with Horan at 10. Macqueen replaces Smith with the benefit of hindsight knowing...

First I said I wanted Holmes over Daley and second I am not so sure Robinson would have his way with Slipper so I think Kepu certainly won't. I could not give a stuff how many Super Rugby caps Kepu has, the reality is that Slipper has faced some the best scrummagers in world rugby in the last...

At Carter I would back Carter any day of the week. I don't think he could handle Cooper's footwork going around Carter. The Tahs would be better in this situation swapping Carter and Horne in defence.

I love the win loss argument. It is just a means of handing credit to a coach for the hard work of the coach before him.

I hope Fat Cat starts. The battle between him and Slipper is the one that has me most excited. Regarding Number 8, I just want the best hands at the back of the scrum so I would go with Leroy. Shatz on the bench for later in the game. Taking the ball of the back will be a big part of the...

This match day 22 would be the go. 1/ Greg Holmes 2/ Saia Fainga'a 3/ James Slipper 4/ Rob Simmons 5/ James Horwill 6/ Scott Higginbotham 7/ Beau Robinson 8/ Leroy Houston 9/ Will Genia 10/ Quade Cooper 11/ Digby Ioane 12/ Anthony Fainga'a 13/ Will Chambers 14/ Rod Davies 15/...

He could be Armish with a look like that.

He played some good rugby there for the Reds in 2006.

He appointed Robbie Deans then faded into the background and gave him the slack needed to overhaul the culture in Australian Rugby. That is his success.

Smart arse. :) I mean 88kg.

Genia is not 182cm that's for sure. I am 5'6 (168cm) and am the one on the right. I was suprised at the size of Quade. he is quite solid and I would guess he is bigger than 88cm

Well this time 4 years ago Australian Rugby was a mess and Connolly was not faultless. Anyone remember the war of words between Connolly and Jones over the Latham injury? It was a joke. Funny how the players are re-signing in mass turning down the option of big money. Funny how players are...

Reg, why not a Tah's logo on the title as it is there home game? Reds to roll out the big pack again. Where is Samo at with injury. He might be the big six option this wee with Simmons and Horwill at lock. Higgers may start at number eight. Holmes, Fainga'a and Slipper in the front row...

We looked to be exposed in lacking a second playmaker. It is not going to get any easier for Cooper with every backrower in the comp that will be gunning for him. I don't know about dropping Chambers after one bad game but it is an option. Digby to ouside centre, Hynes onto that wing and...

Ed Quirk looks like the Riddler off of Batman.

Scrum managment was good from Ian Smith but other barts of his game were crap. Reds throw the ball into the lineout, pull the ball down cleanly but Smith stops the game and has a word with Sharpe about him bridging the gap. Reds re throw the ball. Mate WTF, either award the free kick or let...
