I don't think this England series is the place you will will see many raw recruits in the starting side, I see a couple of bench players being moved up and a slight chance of a couple of bench options for the squaddies and then the test virgins The only exceptions are the really out of form...

I do think the transition will happen and Gibson's tweaks will settle in and were necessary to the attack, I think at the moment there are some decisions being made that aren't there. Gibson appears to be trying to move to a more "Crusader like/Kiwi" ball movement structure, less of total...

Guildford had a mare, but he had a mare trying to do stuff, he wasn't sitting out on the wing wish'in and hope'in for the ball to come out his way. To drop the ball in your second touch is a play means you had the effort to be still in play looking for the ball

I don't understand the concerns over Guildford apart from his personal challenges, we needed experienced outside backs after losing 3 capped outside backs, we got an AB cheap. It was a good bet

Thank you gentlemen, tickets purchased, it is going to be an expensive day

Let us say, on another forum no Auckland Blues supporter shed a tear on his leaving

I can understand Guildford (I rate his style of workrate winger), less so Ta'avao

so what is the pass word for the pre sale?

I thought Palu did bloody well in his session, he may not have the legs be a starter anymore, but for 20 - 30 minutes he can be pretty effective

Stewart is a 13, Horwitz is there to be that 10/12 extra boot & ball player I think Stewart could have been given/will be given some time if Beale was playing 12 as 13 cover, if not starting depending on injuries, but not outside Horwitz

Ta'avao was fine yesterday, Fatcat and he locked the scrum quite solidly

Horwitz? The only way for a guy to grow into Super Rugby is to play Super Rugby, 10 years of SS isn't enough IMHO, the step up is too great. But so far he isn't a future test player, but who has a back up 12 that is? Horne is our first choice 13 Wings? I thought Robinson was quite good...

The Forces games will help decide whether the Tahs come 3rd or 4th in the Aus conference another attempt at razzle dazzle verus grind and f*cked if I know what the outcome will be

Strange game, the Tahs looked at times that their systems were starting to settle in; and then there would be another bad pass. Gibson seems to be wanting them t play a skill based faster game, but their skills and work rate simply aren't their at the moment It was quite amazing last couple...

i still wonder why the old Brumbies system hasn't been replicated. Get that small block of flats for all the developing interstate players to live in.

Good game, the Force have been playing some good rugby for periods this season and it is good to see those periods increasing

Guildford does the stuff Aus wingers don't, work hard off the ball, Kellaway will be a better player learning

My girlfriend will be pissed, rugby coverage has just become a 12 month a year thing

Three things, I think 1/ Having a starting set of FatCat, TPN & Kepu for many years meant most of the above props had better opportunities elsewhere for decent starting game time - an absolutely valid reason to go elsewhere 2/ Being caught with tall workrate props when the rules changed and...

I rate Debreczeni, I think he is the type a player you build a team around
