Visiting Sydney so got to see the game live, albeit not so good seats. Can't wait to see the game on replay, missed so much but no replay till Tuesday morning. Tennis and golf have priority apparently. What was apparent was that the difference between the teams was the Tahs outside backs. Up...

3. Horne 2. Beale 1. Mitchell The first 60 from the forwards was awesome too.

Looks like Bryce Lawrence is still the blue-eyed boy, even after two diabolical performances. Pollock seems to be in favour too, though I reckon he's a long way behind others. Disappointed Vinnie Munro can't seem to get a gig. From the choices to ref the key matches it looks like Kaplan is in...

This thread seems to have dropped down the order. Has the Tahs team been announced yet? I've seen Palmer in for Ben and Sidey for Anese, but I don't know if that's official yet.

Someone probably thought this was a great idea at the beginning of the season, but this is a key home match, semi final on the line and the stadium should be a sea of light blue. Every single ounce of home advantage should be on the line to intimidate the Hurricane team. Anything that distracts...

So now, having brought Robinson back too early we are going to do the same thing to Kepu. He'll aggravate his injury. This is the stuff of nightmares. Had we kept Robinson out for two more weeks, he might have been available for the finals. Now he's no chance. We could have squeezed through with...

A war of attrition is kicking to the corners and trying to win a turnover or letting them have the ball and just defending all day.

A bit of hyperbole is legitimate after tonight's display. Although they are a mid table team, the Chiefs were not bad tonight. They came back well towards the end, but were completely outplayed by the Tahs. Possession and position looked like 80/20 at half time and the game was over. Some of...

3 Mitchell. Apart from the tunnel ball at the end was close to perfect. 2 Mowen. A monster of a running game. 1 Beale. Last 20 mins defense got very tired, but attack was very good. No one knew what was coming when he ran. Honorable mentions to Turner, who was excellent under the high ball...

That's two weeks in a row that Lawrence has favoured the Kiwi team. So much for the review mob addressing issues, only happens when its an Aussie ref. Ruined a good game of rugby, some of the Reds play in the first half was sublime.

When you are a Tah supporter, one of the only pleasures left in life is to have a bit of a laugh. If we have to be serious and support the Tahs then life will be a sustained continuum of misery.

Bruce, My comment was a throw away line which I now regret making because the meaning of my original post has been lost and we are back into a "hate Carter" session. I agree with gambler that its a path we don't need to go down again. Indeed it doesn't really encapsulate what is wrong with the...

Re: Cheifs V Waratahs, Hamilton Absolutely dismayed that coaching staff are fluffing around with backline changes this week. The only change I would make is to put Caldwell on a plane to stiffen up the forwards. After last Friday, the week has to be all about the forwards redeeming themselves...

I wrote last night that the forwards didn't turn up to play; and I still think so now. But I think another factor is that our coaching staff did not put in place the right forward gameplan for the awful conditions. We don't often play when its like that; if it was like that at the SFS the crowd...

Maybe the Tahs will make the four, but they'll be smashed in the semi's in SA.

Beale 3 Turner 2 TPN 1 The rest did not turn up, so there are no honorable mentions.

Based on tonight's performance, the punishment is fair. Can I just say in my defense that I suggested that Ducka Caldwell might have been a good man to have in the team for a game like this. Wouldn't have changed the result but he might have tackled with a bit of venom and made me feel less...

Genia Hodgson Cooper TPN In that order. Though some others have played well these four have been on a different planet.

Ominous news that areas of the ground have not fully drained and are still boggy after recent flooding. Great for ducks to hide on but not so good for the rugby.

I'd like to see him at 8 sooner rather than later in the game. I think he'll have it all over Mowen around the park but wait and see how things go in the lineout, which is where Mowen's height adds an advantage. There's some tall timber in that Clan pack. Hawko, I noted that you've taken to...
