I thought we had lost it when Grant kicked the f*cking ball away Great win

I like Tah man, he is a gentle reminder to take that pre-game piss and top up the beer (not at the same place)

Yes

I pay for Stan Sports for 3 month's ish each year, to cover the Super Rugby and 6 Nations, I will watch Aus tests on Gem and the other games by highlights on Youtube

The injury report was, Jake Gordon (medial ligament), possibly it is worse than expected or it is the Tahs looking at options for next year's roster when Gordon is eating baguettes or pork pies

Quite interesting comments from Nick Phipps on Les Kiss's coaching style, very positive (Stan's Between the Posts) Talked about his focus on improving individual skills, focus on work off the ball and a want to flood attacking opportunities with units. Also quite comfortable in being the coach...

It is funny. if Valetini was about, he probably wouldn't be getting the minutes to be leading

Open your eyes, they are playing organised effective rugby That doesn't ever mean that they are the complete efficient winning rugby team or that they can't be beaten by a better side We have Super Rugby teams at different moments on the development plan The ponies - our most effective program The...

You budget 40-50 minutes for any THP at best THPs and TH locks are the two most important, most under appreciated spots on the field

Tupou appears to be managing his time, getting through his 50'ish minutes It looks to me a cross between game management and the reality of being a real THP with the added "challenges" of injuries that have limited cardio

I thought Walton was quite good at 12 and worked well with O'Donnell - and the backline looked much more functional

As to the game plan, I found it interesting the continued use of the high ball, with limited success Now, add Sua'ali'i for a bit of chasing and jumping, all of a sudden the concept makes more sense
