News to me. Good luck then, you guys need it. May as well field a First grade team really, because the Lions play such nice footy you need a strong team structure to compete. That's why the Baa Baa's got trashed despite the fact they were actually trying pretty hard to win that one.

There was little team chemistry out there. Fundamental errors in attack and defence was the result. So often players found themselves out of place and there were gaps out wide. So yea I think it made it a totally different game. If Tahs can start with close to 15 that are from their usual...

I was at the game. Jackson had nothing to do with how it played out, it was just a walkover from start to finish and it ran itself. All the decisions to be made virtually were, all 10 or so of them. As for the game itself. We should have more midweek games I really enjoyed the atmosphere...

If Emirates pull out I hope it doesn't go to a mining company. They will probably pull out of the sponsorship as soon as they have a bad year. The industry doesn't seem to offer long term funding for marketing. Chevron on the other hand seem to spend a lot in this area, they could be a...

It's not going to be the A-team. How many first team players will play is a mystery. But even they will probably come off early in the 2nd half. Tahs game is priority. Doesn't mean it doesn't have the potential to be a good game though. Probably increases the chances of a blow-out.

The Lions should win, but you never know. These guys haven't been exposed to SH attack for months so the force might be able to pull a few tricks on them. The Lions attack wasn't too convincing on Saturday either, so maybe even a Force B defence could hold out for at least the first half.

Is Genia carrying a couple of injuries, it might explain all the scrum halves on the scene right now.

Has any country, ever, had such good depth in their halves?

http://www.change.org/petitions/australian-rugby-union-select-quade-cooper-for-the-lions-tour I'll admit I'd had a few drinks before I made this last night. But I stand by it. Let's give Quade some support on the social media/internet front with a petition :D .

If a prop elbows someone in the ruck and there are no HD cameras around to see it, did it happen?

Problem when you make so many tackles is you are out of the energy needed to perform these turnovers with precision and speed. Notice last week the Stormers barely attempted the Turnovers, they just waited for the Reds to cough it up and that worked well.

So simple, yet results in a first phase try from half way. Highlanders must be asleep or the Blues inside backs are genius's.

You don't appear to have a great idea of what refereeing competence involves. I mean, I saw you calling JW something along the lines of an idiot for awarding a 5m scrum to the attacking team when a maul went into in-goal. If you don't know the laws or aren't even going to check them before you...

Why do you (Qwerty) have to turn every thread into an endless list of borderline defamatory comments about match officials? Can't we have one game, even if it's just the NZ or SA derbies where we just admire the skills on display? That's why I'm watching. Why are you guys here? I mean, I wish...

Um yeah. He was quick enough to make the turnover before the opposition arrived. The Blues haven't been. The ref doesn't need to get involved with the former. If the opposition does arrive (as has happened every time Braid has been going for the ball) it's going to be hard to get the turnover or...

Who is this Bin Smuth bloke?

On a lighter note Falou played another good game from the parts I remember. I don't think he should be the Wallabies 15 due to lack of experience, but he's making the best possible case for that job.

It was a clear and obvious offside penalty. Pretty sure Jacko said ball out or something after Hooper took off and that might have been the confusion. He actually did a very good job apart from the brainfreeze in the last 5 minutes, but I'm sure everyone will learn from that including the...
