It's called Spin. Don't believe the hype. At the end of the Super 14 I had tipped a possible upset or 2 over the All Blacks for the wobs but after watching the weekends game I think not. I could really do with some of your optimism Reddy as I am seriously lacking some at the moment. Where do I...

I feel gutted for the Shmoo. Sure he's had a few defensive lapses of late but so has the rest of the team and he is a good inside ball option off Quade. I expect we will see him later in the 3N series. With only 4 wingers in the 28 man squad, some of which will be covering 13 and/or 15, surely 1...

Great news for the Cannons. Bloody typical of those ambulance chasers, as sensitive as a sledge hammer.

I saw a quote in the press somewhere but can't for the life of me find it but it was by AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) stating that he often does not know what Quade is going to do then JOC (James O'Connor) gets it then he still doesn't know what's going to happen next. Hopefully in the next 3 weeks they can practise a bit more structured...

I fess up to picking the Blecks and think they are playing better than the Boks at the moment. Sadly, Reddy, I tend to agree. And unless they all get a major kick up the bum the Wobs have about as much chance at the Bledisloe as the Boks do.

Great discussion going and well worth revisiting after every game. On gamblers tertiary rating, I would give Robbie a Credit and judge him more on whether he has managed to bring the best out of his players rather than purely on a win/loss ratio. For the youngsters in the squad, yes. On the...

Wasn't it on last years EOYT that Quade blossomed when Barnes was out injured? Robbie gave him the 10 jersey for a dirt trackers game and he hasn't taken a backwards step since, just the odd bunny hop. It was the same tour that saw Pocock at his peak, and Alexander. I agree that this years Super...

You're right Langthorne, that was a bit of a pointless exercise. To the point, I think his main strength is that his 'play what's in front of you' style of coaching really benefits instinctive and spontaneous players such as Quade, Diggers, TPN, Sharpe, Beale. The approach obviously hasn't...

How about we be a bit more constructive and review his performance like JoN might, by say doing a SWOT analysis? I'll start. Strengths - Crusaders track record - experience coaching seasoned professionals e.g. McCaw, Carter, Thorne, etc. - knows the All Blacks playing style well thus one...

Shmoo for me as well. The head shave does it for me.

Looks like Deans rushed Beale into the starting squad before his court date. Can't help wondering that if he is innocent as he claims then why the need to give him game time pronto if he is supposedly going to escape the charges anyway...

Doesn't work for me. Thank goodness for Projectvanilla and his band of merry men.

Noddy / anyone - can you post a link to where it is on foxsports.com.au? I can't find it and would like to see if it will work outside Oz. Thanks.

Apparently not. Meant to say 40+ margin.

I don't see the problem with the team. There is a good mix of experience and experiments worthy of a glorified trial match and nothing more. The A team or any combination from the larger 40 man squad could beat Fiji. We have a 15 win, 2 lost and 1 draw record, and haven't lost to the men in...

I didn't watch the game but it appears to have been a kick fest which is often the case for finals when teams go for any points possible. Others more knowledgable could possibly comment on the actual game or the Clermont hoodoo...

Of the above uninjured and after the U20s games , might some (To'omua, Morahan, McCabe, Inman) pop up in the Currie Cup like To'omua did last year? No disrespect intended against their local club sides but IMO the experience would be invaluable.

Some great threads running at the moment. Must be something in the air. Finals fever? Pre-wallabies squad announcement tension? On the topic of Gits, I am a fan and would put him at 12 v the Poms and for the 3N regardless of his sub par form this year but would see the merit in benching him for...

Highlight packages are hugely appreciated. Cheers Moses, Gagger, etc.

The Rock Gits Diggers Higgers Finger Burgo Seagull Hangers I once heard someone refer to Richard Brown as 'poof', abbreviate his first name and you will see why. I wouldn't recommend saying that to his face though. Can I suggest 'Laptop'?
