What about we dump all the NZ reams ,, we cant beat them anyway ( though i love the rugby they play ) then teams like the Rebels might win a game occasionally and bring back fans , problem solved

Lets see what " Some Positives " TT can tell us we can take out of this game ,,well we finally put two halves of football together and played the same for 80 mins ,,, we didnt miss any penalty kicks ,,,, no problem getting up for a visit or to get a drink,,,played nice and gave the other guys a...

Rebels : 6yo , gelding,L,L,L,L , shows promise and has talent in patches , outclassed in this filed , no 10 needs dose of persuader..

Rebels " to Do " list for this weekend : 1. MUST defend , not just tackle ( but must do that ) but defend in a structured organised format like a team 2. must improve scrum and lineout to at LEAST win our own throw / put in 3. must play for 80 mins thats it , score some points if you like that...

not wanting to blame the ref too much but as far as i could see almost none of the tahs lineout throws were straight charging through the middle of the ruck seems to be an effective tactic , worked last week as well Mafi , outstanding ( again) if we can get Timani , McMahon and Mafi on the...

No Lineout + No Scrum = No Ball = NO POINTS must be able to compete at set piece , look what we can do with the ball in first half . some great performances ,, not convinced whatsisname is our best option at 10 ,,misses tackles,,

would be good to compare that stat with the percentage of successful penalties kicked from 30-50 meters out , only really interested in the Rebels . Agree with Tex dead eye kicker is Gold and i would do that swap ,, but reality is we do not have one ,, hope Rebels win but......

you are not a forward are you :)

You may well be right however it has not worked for the last 6 years so perhaps it is time to try something different

Its about building pressure , when we take kicks the opposition forwards sigh big relief and catch their breath , must keep the pressure on especially with big packs ,, its a better percentage play than kicking from 30 - 40 m

Tahs have taken a bit of a kicking off the field as usual when they do not perform , expect them to come out swinging this evening . If they get away we will struggle to catch them , if we get in front hopefully some of the signs we have seen will kick in and put them to the sword . One thing...

They ran through us like soup through a sieve ,, need competent coaching staff especially In defence , tackling was non existent, whatisname in10 should be burnt at the stake , not quite up to this level it would appear , he featured in a number of their 11 ( yes ELEVEN ! ) tries mainly by...

Welcome to rugby Koroibete ,, lets see what you have ,, hopefully the backline can create some room,,,not sure how whatisname kept no 10 , all that is left i suppose . looking for improved performances all round

What a load of drivel , are we not allowed to criticize the team now ? This is a rugby forum not for school teachers to tell everyone it is ok to loose ,, It is "those types of supporters " as you put it who have a passion great enough to tell the team they need to wake up and do what they...

Thats right ,they could probably do without sooky ones as well..:)

Good. We don't want you anyway. Thats right, its not like they need members or anything , especially Platinum ones .

After that i am glad i gave up my membership of this joke of a team , they should drop them from Super Rugby , same stupid game plans , why kick for goal ( and miss ) when you can go for tries and build pressure , that so called No 10 ( fat cat ) needs to loose 5-10 kg , man bun is not up to this level...

We need to prime up our kick chase game e.g. the box kick , it needs to be chased , if you dont it is just gifting them the ball .. see the poms v boks both sdes did it all game.. also and i hesitate to say this but i have given it a lot of thought , gulp ,,, we shoudl kick more field goals ...

for what its worth my opinion is the Blacks are playing a different more advanced game than us , team selection wont help us against that . They keep the ball alive constantly probing and penetrating the defence by backing up all the time . Australia hit the line head for the ground and try to...

not sure how my memory stands up but didnt this scene play out last year ? reds sack coach next game is against Rebels with interim coach ( Knuckles i think ) and they took us to the cleaners .. oztimmay that pic reminds me when we went to watch Harlequins play Bath in London , as you go...
