When was the last time Beale kicked for the Tahs? Hangers and Barnes have got a hold on kicking for the Tahs it would seem.

John Smit: THE CLAW

He's probably played one game if you add up all the time he's played since last years Shute Shield Grand Final.

Happened against Parra on Saturday, sniping in the ear of a yellow carded Parra player as he left the field. Stupid, aggro stuff.

What happened to that guy? Now he could get through a gap or two.

Yep, sounds decent Newb. Deans may be thinking the same thing. You'd have to say the NZ and Aus fans will both be looking forward to this with great interest; both sides are pumped, NZ to get the undefeated title and Aus to break two hoodoo's in two weeks. I kind of wish Carter was playing...

Argh Blue, if you'd just chopped that last sentence out I would have completely agreed. It was definitely the most deserving yellow card given this year.

But may have restricted the teams he played in.

As good as his reverse-namesake?

Faaaaark. Last night is still wearing off, methinks. *sigh* Duly noted.

Looks like Wendell is on the wing in that shot, and also the sideline track-camera is there (from the Olympics, I assume)

I dunno about Slipper, Reddy!. On one hand, we need to get a good start straight away, but on the other hand we're still lacking the killer instinct and shutting up shop. I think Ma'afu and Slipper should get a half each, even though Slipper is the better player. The tough choice is which...

Aussie Rugby could use a little Buddha...

Something like that.

You mean the calls made before this game? Before he had a truly successful game on the wing?

Abstaining Not fit to vote.

Agreed, just not as fast as Elsom. Elsom is almost as fast as a back, without the acceleration.

So is the consensus that Fainga'a will get more than a few weeks? He deserves it IMO. If so, who comes into the squad as the backup hooker? Fitzpatrick? Edmonds?

You might not have noticed, but I "quietly" slipped away when Fainga'a got sent to the bin. (By quietly I mean only cursing, not smashing stuff 'round the house)

The stats are here. Hamish McBrearty does a great job on his site, maintaining his love for his side while still digging deep into things. Here's the stats on McCaw, from the Sports After Dark website. http://sportsafterdark.net/2010/08/31/inside-the-numbers-tri-nations-penalties/
