I wonder if JOC (James O'Connor) has done some martial arts. He has an uncanny ability to role bigger players over his hip. He did the same to Matfield 2 years ago.

I have heard it mentioned that in non RWC years, everyone will play everyone at least once, can anyone confirm this? As to success, I am always keen for more rugby, so its fine by me.

My gut says JOC (James O'Connor), Beale, Cooper and Ioane are in the starting 15 for the wallabies, therefore Deans has little option but to drop Cooper back in defense. If Link had made him play in the line all season and he had improved there might be options, but on past form defending at 10 and now 12 months...

Agreed, I think when Pocock was out injured Sheehan was more valuable to the team, but with all our backrow fit we should keep playing Swanepoel with Stannard. We could do with a few more quality backs, if we could keep Shepherd on the park fit and get another game breaker like Smith we might...

For me, the Force's problem is summed up perfectly by the last play before the Reds scored. As they pick and drove right up the middle of the field, there became this inevitable gut sinking feeling that they were going to capitulate again. In contrast for the Reds, I had a feeling that they had...

Horan banging on about Force deserving the win. It's shit statements like that, which allow the Force to avoid closer scrutiny for constant close losses. Our last two seasons have been ravaged by injury, but i'm sick of hearing the Force were unlucky. Luck is fictional, and this hand wringing...

Gutted, But well done Reds. Now do all us Aussies proud in the finals.

Thanks Dicko, six pack in the mail.

A front row of Force nobodys has dished up the last 3 oppositions.

Concerned about the Reds coming home with a wet sail. But I must say, you know your lucky when a captain like Sharpe goes off and the replacement doesn't make the pack look any worse.

I would be interested to compare the handling error count between the two games. It seemed to me that there were a lot more handling mistakes in the Blues/Crusaders game.

Penalties plenty, they just kicked for the corner going for the 4 try BP.

Not a single penalty kick attempted all night. That would have to be a first this year.

Mistake ridden? Did you watch Crusaders V Blues? Considering the conditions this game was a veritable show piece for classy wet rugby.

Bonus point, you fucking beauty.

Lol

Gutsy Tahs, go go go

Perrett looks like a capable player.

From an AB's fan point of view, it must be concerning that their #1 scum half can't get the starting spot for their S15 team and their #2 weighs as much as a loose forward.

Ok Tahs, new game plan, give it to Beale. That is all.
