Pocock & Hodgson, dynamic duo. HUGE difference with a full strength pack on the park. I like a very efficient O'Young at 9, Sheehan you can have the rest of the year off.

No way! Hill drop goal to win it!!!!!!!!!!!

Force kicking is crap, forwards going great guns. Stormers should get a yellow card.

Half time: Force 7 Stormers 6 Go Force!

Oops

Entertaining last 20 minutes. Fair try for mind but justice served with D Carter missing the kick as Crusaders did not deserve to win and certainly don't deserve to make the finals now. Nonu and Donald had good games. The best possible result for the oz sides?

As a Tahs fan I see him "something in between". He certainly belongs in the game day squad, in the run on side or on the bench depending on the style of game the backline want to play. As a Wallabys fan I prefer other players ahead of him. Let the juvenile fun continue!

Re: Kevin Maloney willing to back the reds Similarly with Sony Bill, this is one of the reasons why he quit league and moved to France (along with the € of course) instead of going straight to Super 14. Getting Cheika at Stade may change his decision.

Re: Rebels deadline ends, update here on what you hear. Has Gasnier actually been confirmed for the Rebels?

and v the Reds. :) I agree. First priority is the win so put on the A team until they get the four try bonus point then bring the bench on. I would suggest keeping Barnes on for the whole game to get the rust out of him.

How about some suggestions on the next generation of commentators, e.g. the colourful language of Van Humphries or Sharpe, the cliches at high speed from Genia or the brutality of Phil Waugh? Any ideas who is going to be commentating for Ch9 for RWC 2011?

Good luck to you Hux! Let's hope the return is not too early. Does he now wear headgear?

Re: Tahs v Blues I'm with you Henry. The Tahs aren't really going that bad but yes it is time to step up and play like every game from now on is make or break. I am optomistic and expect a win but a realist and expect it to be low scoring affair. In the turn for home competing for a place in...

I was fortunate to be at the game and enjoyed the spectacle but not the rugby so much. As per Chief, playing styles were reversed with England playing more of a french style game than their own. The French seemed to be playing to not loose rather than to actually win, and even more so in the...

Trinh-Duc is pronounced Trin Dook (i.e. rhymes with book or how a pom would say duck). In french you roll the 'r' sound as though you are spitting up a big glob of phlegm. Wiki tells me he has Italian heritage too.

Les Bleus remain favourites to complete a Six Nations Grand Slam on Saturday night. In the unlikely event that they lose against England and finish on equal points with the Irish the crown should still go to France on for and against. The French have played an exciting brand of rugby and deserve...

I suspect Dingo Deans has asked the maker to do one for Diggers in yellow with the 13 on it.

I'm with you Noddy but maybe swap Hynes for Turner. Some of the bolters have a strong case on current Super 14 form but when it comes to the internationals, such as the 3N, Deans will go for big game experience and not repeat such things as the "throw JOC (James O'Connor) in at 15" experiment. When I saw the...

3. Mitchell - his bag of tries makes up for that 1st half brain fart 2. Palu 1. Barnes - welcome back to wallaby squad Special mention to TPN, Turner, Holmes.

Good stuff Tahs! I had a crap live feed so only got about 70% of the game. From I saw, great to see; bonus points, ball in hand, having a run from their own half, a lot less aimless kicking away of possession, general support play, the scrum, Barnes finally finding some form. Anesi will surely...
