Thoroughly enjoyed his impact. His workload matched his passion, with no brainsnaps, a real "don't you forget about me Cheika" performance. More please.

Outstanding captaincy by Moore throughout & ballsy call at the end to go for the line. South Africa were very good and owned the breakdown throughout & probably didn't deserve to lose. What struck me most was the All Blacks type belief that the Wallabies displayed at the death, the will to...

I heard that Michael Fenn was very good, again.

Half-time score: Riverview 17 Kings 14.

The forecast for continued poor weather has resulted in Riverview announcing that all sport except the 1sts/2nds/3rds rugby has been cancelled for tomorrow. I assume that other schools might have made a similar decision?

Shore v Scots: Difficult to see Shore coping with Scots' physicality up front which will allow Scots to secure front foot ball for their backs. Shore's renowned spirit will need to be at the fore. Scots by 20 Newington v Joeys: Newington will not have things all their own way with Joeys giving...

The Incredible Plan reported at #1307 that Kings were due to play the English school Sherborne on Monday 13 July. He or Azzuri will probably be well placed to give us a snapshot of that result.

As a passionate Tahs' fan I don't need to hear someone like Kearns whinging and moaning from the commentary box. I can do that just fine thanks either at the game or share my myopic lens with mates. At one stage last night (it was before the penalty try) Kearns complained bitterly that the Tahs...

Donotquestion, your most recent post was a significant departure and more accurate than your frivolous "can't be arsed" post that then potentially misled George Grant and Not in Straight (and any other reader). Yes, he has an exam today and other study commitments this week. He also injured...

All the best to Sheldon for his complete recovery. He can perhaps take heart that plenty of players have returned from such an unfortunate injury & have not looked back.

Yes - IS, I'm sure that your valuable time could be expended more productively towards other pursuits. Hopefully the Tahs will put on a show tonight;)

Need to step up in the tipping stakes after my inauspicious 1/3 in rd 1. I can feel it in my waters as follows: Joeys v Scots: Joeys to capitalize on the confidence derived from their big win over View and to ride their home support to consign the pre-season favourites, Scots, 0/2 in a tight...

Whichever way Cheika & the selectors go with the backline, we must play up tempo from the get go in the vein of the most recent example of the 2 tries scored against the Lions when down 10-27. The Tahs must shoot for and believe they can achieve a bonus point win to remain in command of top...

I was giving it the (charitable) benefit of the doubt that it was a serious enquiry.;)

Betham is there & will be in the mix for a starting spot. Alternatively, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) will move to the wing due to Horne's suspension, Carraro will go to outside centre and Betham will be on the bench.

He left school last year.

Regardless of injury my strong prediction is that will not be the make up of the backline for the game against Shore. Also expecting at least one change to the forwards.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ R&M 101, for ease of future reference, Hugh Jarse has helpfully reproduced the draw from the aagps website at post #777 (page 39).

It's Shore's home game.

Outstanding defence inside their 22 & the Tahs force a knock on & survive. Win the scrum & then a penalty but a turn over leads to the final whistle. Tahs very fortunate in the end to salvage a losing BP with Janties missing penalty goals in the 61st, 65th & 73rd minutes. Lions play an...
