A certain current forum poster running out for the treasured club of a former poster...

Here's hoping the McCutcheon/Alcock switch occurs around the same time the Ulugia/Fitz one did against the Cheetahs.

I don't like Mafood anymore than you, Gnos, but you can't place him below a player who hasn't made the field.

Don't mind me, I love quoting the Lawbook.

It is indeed: 10.4 DANGEROUS PLAY AND MISCONDUCT Flying Wedge and Cavalry Charge. A team must not use the ‘Flying Wedge’ or the ‘Cavalry Charge’. Penalty: Penalty Kick at the place of the original infringement. ‘Flying Wedge’ The type of attack known as a ‘Flying Wedge’ usually happens near...

Man that was a good game.

Don't get the wrong idea, Gnos. I only wanted someone to elucidate this part of Australian rugby's past for me, not start a push to get Giteau in the halfback spot in the present or anything like that.

And the opposite, Benson Stanley.

I didn't pay much attention to rugby until the last few years, and as such I remember basically nothing about Matt Giteau's time at scrumhalf. Can anyone shed some light on the experiment? As in when did it happen/who's idea was it/why was it a success/failure.

I agree, and but ideally, the referees should be able to determine when the one side has forced the collapse rather than the scrum collapsing accidently.

I think refs should be more vigilant in making teams use ball even though the scrum has collapsed. A few resets is fine, but seeing the ball make it to the feet of the number eight, with the half ready to scoop it out before being halted by the ref blowing up for a resets is very frustrating...

This could be a cracker. Beware the Stormers pack, they seem to live for grinding teams into the turf.

To kick us off: new Force jersey for this clash.

Move over, Reddy!, you're position as resident QLD Nut is no more.

You need one to the side of the head if you think Fainga'a is the one ;)

Maybe, Bruce, this will be less like Singapore and more like Trafalgar - Deans tactics may be go against the established tradition and overwhelm a superior enemy.

Haven't seen much of the Force this year, I was impressed by his running game last night though. Will Edmonds get another go? I hope not but Deans... is Deans.

Filled in the gaps. How does this look?

Had a closer look at Nick Cummins last night to see what the Force fans have been crowing about, and he is adapting quite well to the 13 position. He has an uncanny knack for hitting the opposition defense, almost halting all of his momentum but then pushing over the advantage line with a good...

Keep it up, guys, you're my eyes and ears for this one. Tired of laggy streams.
