Gill again played well in this mornings penalty-a-thon semi-final between LaRochelle (favourites) and Toulon. However his performance was overshadowed by JOC (James O'Connor), sporting a new close cropped platinum-blonde haircut, who took one for the team and allowed himself to be pile-driven into the ground...

The team to be dropped from Super Rugby should be the Waratahs. Reason 1: Most players would get picked up by other clubs, thus satisfying their employment fears. Reason2: Would make the ARU reside and operate in an independent area thus alleviating public belief that the ARU are unaware of...

But that's Lyon saying "We'll have him!" but Mourad Boudjellal saying "He's under contract"

Speaking of Gilly, for those that don't know, he was a star last weekend in Toulon's prelim semi win over Castres - even though he was yellow carded. He also was listed in the top 15 players in French rugby this season by french media. They might not want to let him come back.... Edit: PS...

Cards by home and away. 19 home team cards (18 YC + 1 RC) 38 away team cards (36 YC + 2 RC) The telling stat. Seems like a lot could be the result of the hometown broadcasters who like showing up the opposition on the big screens. You can't blame the ref's, they obviously have been told they...

Are there any ratings for the free to air telecasts sunday morning on ONE? Does anybody watch then?

Wait.. what? Was this the Super Rugby match? I thought we were watching the under 8's considering the anti-contact rules and all the lack of insight and schoolboy errors.

Geez 25m out and you can't even make the 5m line with you're penalty kick

How are they playing? The reds could easily win this game, all they need is to stop stupid kicks and a fly-half who doesn't run backwards before passing it. There are 2 or more Argie's waiting next to whoever is getting the pass from McIntyre Edit: typo

I think SA would prefer 8 SA teams, 5 NZ teams, 2 Argie teams and 5 European teams.

Coaches really need to tell teams to hold onto the ball. There's a better then 50% chance the defending team will have a player accidentally slip up high or go high and thus give away penalties or get carded. After seeing that silly penalty against Hunt just before half-time, I wonder how long...

I can;t understand why the Reds keep kicking it away. When they held on to the ball earlier in the match they looked good. All they do now is kick it back to the opposition and then realise none of them (the Reds) can tackle properly.

Wouldn't ever happen with the Reds shop. They would never allow merchandise to be sold at that sort of price. ;)

Why? Do you think the Reds are better suited wearing an outfit from a UK company rather then wearing one from not only Australian company, but a Qld company?

First game of the season and already "crunch time"... sheesh

^^^ Super Rugby Kick & Chase starts this wed 4:30pm Qld time, 5:30pm Noddy time, then goes to I think an hour later timeslot the following week. However it appears to be more of your silly show rather then any serious discussion.

Went and checked my IQ planner and it was still listed as 6am. However when I clicked it for info the listing dissappeared. The guide had updated to the 4:30pm (Qld time) slot. Still not a great time slot to have the one and only Rugby show on Foxtel.

So somebody correct me if I am wrong but, it seems the rugby show they have on Foxtel this year is called Super Rugby Kick & Chase and the first episode is broadcast at 6am next Wednesday ??? They don't appear to think rugby is at all popular. But then, looking at the lineup for the show I...

Dump Super Rugby. New competition - 3 teams from Australia, 3 from NZ, 2 from Japan and 2 from China, 2 more - say 1 from SE Asia and 1 from Russia (Vladivostok). 12 teams, home and away, 22 match weekends + finals. This would have Aus and NZ companies falling over each other to be sponsors -...

Well he has to talk himself up.. no-one else is going to! Ok, so any rumours yet of the assistant coaches for next year? Anybody already locked in?
