Rorey Sidey who got 4 weeks for that botched come spear tackle on Ndungane would be livid. Where is the recognition of the difference between accidental and intentional.

Shock horror, one hearing in NZ and one SA. The different outcomes don't even really surprise me anymore.

No, the irony of where ZinZan praises someone for being gracious in defeat, and then proceeds to be ungracious in defeat himself.

McCalman is a slogger, he just doesn't have the impact that guys like Palu do. If Palu is fit (and I mean proper pack shredding balls out 2009 fit), he is first picked Wallaby. He is more important to our WC chances than Elsom IMO. I think where Ella gets off track in the above article is...

Maybe Zinzan was being ironic? That's how I read it, a bit of a piss take. Reds supporters take themselves very seriously sometimes.

What the fuck are they doing playing him on the wing? I don't think it's spite, because he is leaving, but I mean come one, couldn't slip him one chance at 13 or 15 all year. What a wasted year for AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) personally. All the best at the Tahs AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper).

Is Valentine really that Rugby dumb? Sure, let the ball roll back into the 22 so you can kick it out on the full, but don't watch it dribble over while the Stormers chasers all close in and then hot potato it to someone else to get pumped. He may be my least favourite Australian player.

Just had a look at the SuperBru tips for the Lions/Highlanders. Only one person picked the Lions. Well done Mr Timms.

Stormers aren't looking too enthusiastic compared to their usual grinding style. Still expect them to win it though.

It's a tough one, the prick in me says let them suffer, but that doesn't help the Fijians supporters. The IRB needs to figure out how much of this is a genuine appeal, and how much it is a military junta trying to not put it's hand it's pocket, because they know those stupid old fuddy duddys...

You guys (SA/NZ) signed the agreement with Australia for the new S15 format so stop fucking whinging about it. Big surprise that the Australian conference is the weakest, we have the smallest number of Rugby players, clubs, supporters etc, despite having a larger population (than NZ anyway), as...

I still think JOC (James O'Connor) is a 10. If Cooper had continued on his spiral to destruction, and was now playing League, JOC (James O'Connor) would be the great white hope at 10 this RWC. I know some of you guys think he needs the space at 12 to work his magic, but I would prefer to see him get his hands on the ball more...

Green based Tartan would be Sweeeeeeeet

Couldn't agree more, Ripia has been steady but uninspiring. Nothing to be lost from rolling the dice here on in.

Force went with Blue becasue it's the best. The yellow Force jersey posted on page one were being sold for $30 each at one of the games last year as opposed to $149 for the blue ones. Nobody wants them. It is a shame the Higlanders have gone green, I like both their jerseys, now Brumbies...

Nonu bombed a few oppourtunities by pushing the offload, obviously feeling the pressure to keep up with SBW.

Patrick Dellit would have to be in consideration for Rookie of the year.

Congrats AB's. Gutsy by McCaw too, what would a NH club pay for him, $2million a season? Maybe the ARU can ring up and ask for some lessons in high profile player retainment.

The other concerning thing is it took Rocky nearly a full international season to get back anywhere near his best after his last injury layoff. Whats to say he won't take as long again. By then the RWC will be done and dusted.

You know what else matters, pleasing the fans. 90% of people who saw that, knowing what the stakes were, ie: 3/5th of fuck all, would think it was weak. Neither team can make the finals, so roll the dice and entertain some fans, that might seem simplistic, but without the fans you might as...
