Yeah and he just added to it by being suckered by Carter and leaving a gaping hole for Guildford to score. 13 to 0. It's been all Saders so for. Bulls have just been getting everything so wrong.

Bulls aren't offering much at the moment. Could get nasty if they don't improve.

Talk about rugby on a rugby forum? That's crazy talk!

Deans may take Mitchell and Turner still. With JOC (James O'Connor), AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), Digby, Mitchell and Turner available Deans may not take Shipperley. I doubt Mitchell is ready, and Turner definitely isn't, but I wouldn't put it past Deans.

Yeah, the Reds crowds were godawful to Ballymore, and barely better when they first moved to Suncorp (Lang Park) where they copped some nice beatings. So small I think they ran some games at a loss at Suncorp. Honestly, I am surprised at how quickly the Reds got themselves off the bottom of...

Reds weakness was pretty much centred around 2004 - 2009. SA super rugby teams struggled in the comp for some reason before the early/mid-2000s, and SA went some years where they got just 1 team in the top half of the comp and no teams made the finals at all. Not the case now, definitely, but...

Doesn't necessarily think it's a poor reflection on either. And I don't get why you have to make it a "us vs them" thing. There's just been a longer and more intense rivalry with (certain) NZ teams, along with a greater expat population, and coupled with greater familarity geographically and...

Any G&GR twitter accounts affected? http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/union-news/tahs-give-tweet-nothings-the-axe-20120718-22amv.html

Daley's scrummaging has been particularly bad for the last month or two, though. Worse even than it used to be. Not sure if the injury I heard mentioned was related to the shoulder op last year or not.

Apparently, Daley has had a shoulder problem for a while which has been hampering him. Not sure how much this has or hasn't affected his scrummaging, but there is some issue with injury.

Yes. And extra time to deter other players, but my apologies. Digby only got one extra week for "deterence". BTW, just to clarify, I think Cooper deserves his week on the sideline. He just deserves some company! The fact that we can sit here and point out similar tackles all day which...

It doesn't mean that the fans of Player A from Team 1 that gets suspended can't get angry because Player B from Team 2 does the same illegal stuff but gets away with it. The better is analogy is speeding driver 1 goes past the police at 100 km/h in an 80 km/h zone and is booked. Speeding...

Would much rather have Joubert, who is surely a better ref, than Kalan.

Mitchell and Turner should both be playing Schute Shield as much as possible, irrespective if they make this training camp or not. I wouldn't think they would be ready for the rugby championship yet. I would send both on the EOYT only. Therefore, going on past history, I expect both to make...

A few this weekend just for starters. Foley had a swinging arm in the same game, and Elstadt had a beauty that night. Consistency is not a hallmark of the SANZAR citing process.

Actually, TPN was poor the whole Reds game apart from a few decent carries. Apart from his mistakes for the tries, his midfield defence was poor as he let a few guys run past him. There was a real lack of urgency in the midfield defence for the Tahs. In the past the Tahs have had great...

No, they were higher ranked as far as I understand. The first three spots in the table will always be the three conference leaders, in points order. From there it's points order.

The Brumbies' sponsorship dollars would've also been much lower this year - can't imagine they'd get a lot from Canberra University and SG Fleet (the government car fleet body). I can't imagine they'd have a big war chest, despite them probably having the lowest wage bill. First on the...

That's the thing for me. The Reds should go into the hearing committe with a long video showing tackles like Elstadt's that were cited but were very similar. Elstadt didn't even get a yellow for a similar tackle. edit: To clarify, both were definite yellow cards, but by Cooper's citing, SANZAR...

It is crazy that the extent of the injury affects the suspension. The same tackles where one player was lucky to escape injury and a second where the player doesn't get the same penalty. So broken.
