One irritation which I wish could be addressed was the time taken for scrum resets. In the final 5 minutes of the game there where two scrums which were re set several times and consumed the majority of the remaining time when the Brumbies and crowd where desperate for the ball to be in play...

I have previously stated that I would like to see Fardy have a run at 6 and equally would like to see Butler have a chance at 8. Pocock is a given at 7 and with Vaea and Smiler we have alternatives for both 6 & 8. Fardy and Smiler gives the 3rd lineout option which I think is essential. Will be...

All this does imo is prevent the Rory Kockott scenario where he is now eligible to play for France due to residential eligibility. By making the 20's the second team the young talent is locked into playing for SA in the future and It reduces the risk of losing a talented youngster to another...

It was reported in the Canberra Times that White was on a one year contract with a an option for a second year with the ARU and Brumbies. White has chosen to give the Brumbies as much notice as possible and also not interfere with the upcoming season by making his decision now even though it...

Congratulations to Nic White and David Pocock on the announcement of the leadership group and dual vice captaincy. It will be great to see Pocock back on deck and given the rehab programs they have these days I see no reason why he will not regain his playing capability. Nic White had a great...

"But he had serious issues in contact on both sides of the ball in all three of the tests from what I can recall. He sure has the toe to play wing and his kicking is longer than anyone I can think of in Aus Super Rugby (but I also recall some disastrous kicks during his time in Gold" If I recall...

Think your right on Ala'alatoa and Dowsett but the trials will tell. Haven't been keeping up with the news is Ita Vaea still at Brumbies. Would like to see Fardy at 6 and Arnold or Staniforth at Lock pretty sure it will happen at some point in the season possibly against a SA pack

So that's what you got from the whole 80 mins. No mention of the other errors or mistakes of any others players. Given White only kicked once during the game an attacking grubber for Beale which resulted in Brown taking the ball into touch and an attacking lineout inside the 22 with the only...

"Re Genia, people have been ultra critical of his 2014 form. To be fair, the Reds were shit in 2014. James Slipper was basically the only player that stood out as worthy of a test spot, but that is part and parcel of a team that is performing badly, i.e. individual performances were suffering...

White looked anything but slow on the weekend after receiving little game time since eden park where it was obviously the halfbacks fault we spent the game on the back foot. Till then he had performed very well in the French tests and the previous two Super seasons. His pass is superior to...

Phipps made more mistakes tonight than White in the previous two games against a superior opponent. Where was White a liability in either performance against the AB. He was the victim of a fly half standing deep and a forward pack not going forward and still managed to deliver quick accurate...

Given the comments in the thread about team changes it was interesting to see White named in the Fox Super Rugby team of the season but of more interest was the stats given to support his selection - equal most try assists in competition - fourth in line break assists - fourth in offloads in the...

Understand the euphoria of the Waratah victory but the performance of the incumbents over their last matches on which they should be judged is hardly a basis for change. It appears that you are happy with To'omua and Kurandrani but despite White having standout performances against both the Force...

The goal kicking site in SA which ranks individual kicks did a rating based on distance kickers in SuperXV and Nic White based on difficulty and distance was ranked second behind Francois Steyn. White was shown as kicking at 75% for all kicks despite taking plenty of long range difficult kicks...

If we are looking at Fridays game as the marker what type of game are the Wallabies looking to play Genia kicked the ball in play 22 times. Yes he had a good game but it cannot be said his running game is back based on that game. Both White and Genia were credited with 3 try assists 2 of Genia...

Congratulations to whoever put together tonight's programme. Every side got some time and coverage, a pleasant change and well received by this viewer anyway. Keep up the good work.

On the best goalkickers site which ranks kicks for difficulty and takes into account success White is ranked 10th in super rugby with a 75% success and Foley is ranked 21st with a success rate of 77.1%. Indicative of the difficulty of the kicks taken by White but success rate difference is...

hope he finds form soon because 9 points of missed kicks isn't good for any team. It was early so may be wrong but think we missed four shots one conversion and three penalties but to be fair a couple were not easy kicks. Might be time to stick with one kicker.

Well done Cheetahs Brumbies not good enough on the night, too many penalties and struggled to create the game tempo they needed. Makes next week very important for any top two aspirations.
