How's he going, I think the question is. Although he's in Japan at the moment, I believe, so our sources may be thin.

Only undefeated team in the Soccer World Cup, MR. That's a fine feather in NZ's cap.

Err... Rugby Sevens?

He can make a good dominant tackle if someone can run straight towards his shoulder, but have a look at the Wobs vs SA test in Bloem. The O'Connor and Mitchell tries embarrassed his defensive positioning; in both occasions he ended up standing with hands on hips after missung everything. Maybe...

Now I remember, the ABC coverage had a (C) next to his name one game but he wasn't actually captain. Still, very impressive to play in the 1st Grade team for so long this year.

Didn't he captain Manly at some point this year as well?

Maybe by round two they will have found some convoluted way of showing that Higgers should be picked over Palu, only for Palu to rip him a new one (and make Groucho squeal simultaneously).

I could've sworn that question was rhetorical, Cyclo... ;)

Mark Chisholm has big arms. Does this make him physically imposing? Don't make Bruce Ross come in and teach us all about strength versus rippedness.

You've outdone yourself Reddy!. I guess we all love The Cock around here, just some love Cock more than others. You can always count on Cock ruining the oppositions ball.

Gotta have Bakkies. I still think Spies is a showpony, same with Higgers. Francois Steyn is a terrible liability in defence.

It may not be popular, but I'd prefer the Wobs to have a 13 who knows how to ruck and tackle.

As I understood it, his running ability was more in the area of driving through the tackle to gain extra yards, an important skills in "trench warfare" games. Also, driving over the line to score from close.

Yeah, it's unfair to expect a team as unfit as the Reds to back up. I mean, sure, they'll get to watch the finals, but that isn't enough time. Tah's players will be fine, they'll take real momentum out of the final.

With 10. Larkham 12. Carter you can put whoever you bloody well want in the rest of the backline. You'd need a decent 9. though.

If only there was a way to play both of them.

Barry John?

Post of the Year? Or at least most agreed with.

I'm by no means a McCaw fan, but I really hope he times his exit from international footy well. I'd hate to see him become like John Smit, although it would probably help the Wobs cause a bit.

True, but at the same time the lineout isn't as big a part of the game as it was when SA were dominating.
