I'm not sure if its relevant but a few years ago when I played fullback I didnt touch the ball for probably the first 15 mins and I didnt make a tackle in that time either, this happened on a regular basis. Well anyway on defence if a line break occurred i usually wasn't caught up in the...

I see your point Bruce, it's helpful having a 100kg+ 12 as that is where the most traffic in a rugby game is usually directed. You can add to that list Jamie Roberts as well. However having watched these players over the past few years I feel that I'm in a position to challenge you on this...

God damn you Kevin O'neill why did you drop out. Also I haven't got points for Rene Ranger yet. Wynand Olivier lost me a point, what a douche.

Highlanders best team in the comp. Imagine how good they will be when Colin Slade comes back. Apart from Slade, Cowan and Thomson they don't really have any big names. But ben smith, treeby, mackintosh and a couple of others have really stepped up this year.

I was going to add a "no one should wish an injury on a player" but i forgot. I'm just saying that it wouldn't be the worst thing if MT got a shot at 10 when Gits is performing poorly. I doubt as captain or "team leader" Gits will be moved from 10 this year so injury is probably the only way it...

Reds: 3 Quade Cooper 2 Van Humphries 1 Scott Higginbotham Brumbies: 3 Ita Vaea 2 Pat McCabe 1 Stephen Moore

I know this is a bit harsh but Is anyone else hoping Gits' injury keeps him out for a few weeks. Then Matt Tooumua can play 10 and Coleman at 12. Noticed its the first week MT hasn't been subbed on, I wonder if the mid week shit has harmed his chances of game time

3. Ben McCalman 2. Matt Hodgson 1. Sam Wykes

I hate Pat Lambie always have and I hope I always will. Fairly standard tonight, nothing special and some poor kicks. The force back 5 of the pack were awesome, Wykes, Hodgson, Sharpe, McCalman and Brown. JOC (James O'Connor) wasn't bad but didnt have a lot of options good kicking as well. I'm not sure why...

I'm not sure yet if that article makes AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) a bad guy that abused his re-signing and meddled in things he shouldn't have. Or if he was put in a bit of an awkward position and they have fitted his words in round the article to make a story out of it. He doesn't strike me as the sort of guy to...

I'm not sure if it has been mentioned yet but for those that respect Juan Smith he may be back for the world Cup

Once they get Guildford back that backline will have virtually no average players, apart from possibly Ellis.

Rod has indicated he wants to play 15 to cover for Hynes but Toua and Lucas will be better than him there and harris might be an outside shot for 15. I hope Toua starts over those guys, it would show ambition on Link's part but the guy has my full backing (and manlove) for good reason. He is a...

Thats a good point Slim. If Cooper is at ten then it will be difficult for JOC (James O'Connor) to get 12 because of his perceived defensive weaknesses. (watched a nudgee 2007 match on dvd today and he was surprisingly putting on some hits league style). Barnes 10 JOC (James O'Connor) 12 combo looks good and less fragile than...

That better be MT rather than MG Brown Hornet, I dont want another controversy in WA. I can just imagine the backline for the Brumbs in a couple of weeks. 10 Gits 12 Tyrone 13 Andrew Smith 15 AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 14 Mccabe 11 Speight Man they know how to fuck up a ball club in ACT

Waugh played with a torn hamstring in a final, holy shit thats tough, the guy is a monster and always reminds me of that orc from Lord of the rings. I thought I was hardcore when I finished a match with a broken collarbone, its surprising how many tackles you can make grabbing someones collar...

Quade?

He was good at 15 for the NZ 20's when Cruden was at 10. In the schoolboys he looked really aggressive in attack and de.fence (a good thing) but I haven't seen it in him since. In the super 14 and NPC last year he looked like a bit of a pussy in defence but I can see where you are coming from...

You should loan him to a south african team other than the Bulls. He seems to always missile himself at FDP, happens every time they play against each other. Its funny how someone that hits and runs like a train can throw bachanded offloads and overhead passes. Absolute legend

Burton? Francis played ten for the lions a bit last year and he seemed an accomplished kicker. He could play 12 but Strauss? really impressed me with his running. Elton is creative and a good player but hasn't improved his goal kicking since the Baa Baa's match and needs to improve it to be...
