Well we're not talking a 10-15 stint though, longer spells. Maybe even a swap at half time.

I think that would be the way to go. Palu and Samo haven't had amazing careers, but they are both very experienced and using them as a tag team could be extremely effective.

Make him captain! You know what - forget Deans! We have Samo! ;)

Trollolololol.

Personally, I don't really like Higginbotham's style of play. But the Wallabies have a game against Samoa before the Tri Nations, and this would be a good opportunity the Test him out. Put it this way; I'd prefer Higginbotham get his first start for the Wobs against Samoa than Rocky get his...

The Tahs were a professional team made up of mostly out of state recruits in 1861?

Existence prior to the creation of SupeRugby is the point Scarfie's trying to make I think, Slim.

Reds fans must be pleased as punch, what with their boys knocking over the Blues, the Stormers getting taken down by the Chiefs and the Cheetahs upsetting the Saders. Not only did all those teams lose, the Saders and Stormers were both beaten by teams outside the six.

Only part of the spray that isn't entertaining is the indifference Rea shows when asked about injured players. Soured the spray.

Who were the journalists in that audio clip?

Takudzwa Ngwenya?

A little off topic, but I was surprised to read that Ioane had only played 11 Tests. I thought he'd played way more than that.

Huh? You mean Giteau?

Chuck in a Argentian team, too. Base them in a NZ or Australian city, the same as the Pampas XV in the Currie Cup. The Pampas have been a pretty big success.

I agree with the rest of your quote, but that is a ridiculous hyperbole.

VRF, there are legal ways to slow down opposition ball, which the Crusaders also use.

Now that will be interesting. Is it the first time a Super season has been interrupted for Test matches? The boots on the other foot now.

The ref just needs to nut up and set the tone early. If you penalise the attacking team and communicate properly, the teams will be less likely to offend and the viewers (at least those at home or with a refs feed) will understand (well, the informed ones anyway).

Bazzamacca is quite the fisherman; picked up some real trophy fish in this thread.

At home. I think that will be the key to the Reds season; finding the dominance they found vs the Bulls and Stormers last year away from home, or getting high enough on the ladder to secure the home finals.
