Says a lot about about what they are forecasting their crowds to be like.

No one peaks for their first round game. Scoring 6 tries against anyone is a great opener. Yep they have quite a few areas where they need to improve,but so does everyone else. It's a step up in grade next week,and I can't wait for it!

To be fair to him,he did not have a variety of guys hitting holes for him. Seems to me Foley prefers them to hover near the ball carrier so they are in position to clean out,rather than run through the line with or without the ball. No one will excel at 10 in that environment.

Yeah I agree, you would not be swapping Crawford & Alofa on their games yesterday. In Crawford's defence,he was given very little opportunity.Our backs were very pedestrian,apart from Lucas who impressed. In contrast I thought ACT had quite a few good backs,and they played much more expansively.

So the choice is either Wallabies,or SA rejects? No other options,at all? That's bullshit! Anyway, it's clear what my view is. I'll leave it at that. If you guys are happy with that,then terrific!

A Goal of 8 wins this year,is a losing season. Well,no you don't have 13 Wallabies in your starting side,but that's because you concentrate on recruiting second tier Saffers. Not many Wallabies can be found slogging it out in the Currie Cup. If you keep signing players other franchises have lost...

Don't worry about the ref. Worry about your tactics. Seems to me all the good sides are attacking in the 13 channel. You are not going to win many games playing one out all day.

FFS they didn't play any football at all today. Slow build? Their target this year is to have a losing season! Their target! If Force supporters are happy with that,then they will get what they deserve.

I reckon Michael Foley had Izzie as captain in his fantasy team. It can be the only explanation why they kept kicking the ball to him.

I reckon that's a pretty fair assessment.I agree at the next cut,there will be more casualties from the second group. There were quite a few that were impressive against country that will be disappointed tonight. I will be interested in what they will do in the centres. Hodge,the 10 from the Oz...

I think you are on the money there. Rugby is best suited with the demographic of their supporter base,to follow the US model of an online subscription.

I thought Turner was more impressive. Saved more tries & did more work to score his try. But really,QC (Quade Cooper)' laid on two tries,that was the difference.

So why are they subsidised at all,when the other,poorer pathway is being levied? That's the point. And in any case, why would the Schools become direct stakeholders,with a say in the decision making,in the event that they were levied? The Village clubs are not afforded that right,despite the...

If the back rowers are doing their job,it's easy meat covering that channel. I hope they hurt any fuckers that test that route.

Added to that, the ARU has two partners that are concerned about the best financial package calculated by net present value calculations. Growth, exposure and warm fuzzy feelings in Oz,have no interest for them.

Interesting perspective. I was also there.i thought the bench players to a man improved the output dramatically,in the first half. IMO the finishing of the Argentinians let them down most of it unforced.So relying on the scoreboard as a measure between the first and second sides is somewhat...

Hang on,the junior clubs levy is budgeted to bring in $800k The ARU grant to the Scoolboy affiliate is $500k. Individual Schools have budgets in many cases in the high tens of millions. Junior rugby clubs have budgets in the low tens of thousands. They have it arse about. No private School...

No one is death riding them. No one is even criticising them. If you read my post,I compliment their recent boards,and their colts program. The fact remains,if the club can't convince colts players to register,where are their grade players going to come from in the future?

Can't you read? Someone has studied it,and published their findings in a one line statement on this very thread! Just wait,he'll post 3 jumper designs and we we all understand the rationale.

Don't be a victim. If you have a point of view,justify it. Edit: It would appear you responded to my post with a tantrum,before this post was registered. If you include figures,there should be a point. Including random figures,making no reference to your previous conclusions is just asinine.
