Just got back, despite losing, it might be the best game of Super Rugby i've ever been to. First class Rugby all round. The Saders draw a huge support base, they were as loud as the Force fans in patches, though the loudest cheer was easily when Ritchie got the card, closely followed by...

I think Bowsides rant was reasonable. As a Foxtel subscriber you pay for a hundred channels you probably never watch, but they probably account for $0.05c each of your subscription fees. If fox want to sell themselves up the river to the tune of $5 per subscriber for one stinking channel, that...

And outright leader for most rugby caps of any super player, statistically he is the most likey to be leading the most losses column as well. Losses per numbers of game played would be a more relevant indidcator.

Some would already say that's where he does his best work.

Carter is apparently travelling with the team, but not playing.

Hopefully Dunning gets a few more minutes this week. I actually think he was winding up for a big game last week until he was pulled.

I would rate all of those reserves except maybe Berquist and Sopoaga above Halangahu. I haven't seen enough of Berquist to know and Sopoaga is still young and a little bit flakey, but will eventually be a class 5/8 imo.

Nah, wouldn't make the bench at the Force.

Or maybe not..... http://www.foxsports.com.au/rugby/super-rugby/star-wallabies-flanker-david-pocock-returns-for-the-western-force-for-the-clash-with-the-crusaders-in-perth/story-e6frf4qu-1226045783229

Apparently both McCaw and Carter are possibles for this game. That will change a few tips I reckon.

It's like a knife in the guts, but it makes a horrible amount of sense. Berrick is going to have to come back and not be fragile to keep him on the bench. Just so long as he is not captain.

I think the Brumbies showed some real foresight in signing him for 4 years. If they had only signed hime for 2 years, and the Boks don't go so well at the worldcup, there would be tons of Boks supporters screaming for the SARU to re-employ him, and the brumbies would loose him right in the core...

I'm having trouble keeping up with who has injured themselves at the moment. What has Waugh done to himself and for how long? I would still prefer to see Turner at 13, do the Tahs have a decent academy 15 they could draw into the team?

Have you got a Babelfish to english translation so the rest of us can read it :) Just being a smartarse, thanks for the translation.

Pretty sure Jono Jenkins is injured and Ben Whittaker will be out for a week, giving Siliva Siliva from the academy a chance to make a debut.

Malthouse is an intelligent if not enigmatic bloke, makes sense he would enjoy Rugby. Seems both Nonu and Smith will be out for a while yet, so Reds stretched lineup should win it still.

Fair enough Newb, point taken. But for the record, my quote above was edited by Paarl. It was actually written as To take off the end part of the quote is my case in point.

Can you imagine it, a tight dirty fighting final against the AB's, Wallabies trailing by 3 at the 80 minute mark, camped on the AB's line and Tommy Carter coming screaming through to pick up a popped ball from Nathan Sharpe 2 metres from the line where he smashes through the tackles of SBW and...
