I'm not South African, but the Stormers defence has been rather good recently. Whether or not that is the doing of Mr Wessels is another question.

Campbell was pretty decent last year. O'Neil has retired. Going by all reports regarding James King, his recent recruitment to the Rebels may prove to address some of the problems. One of the articles I was reading about him described him as "Isaac Ross but with grunt." At 24-25, he is still...

I'm fairly sure in his mind he'd rather be starting at THP and developing there than riding the pine behind fatcat and hoping for a game.

They're invariably off doing important things like developing a unified theory of relativity or winning scrums. They let other people who don't have such meaningful things in their life have the small consolation of being captain.

Who'd be the uncapped?

Something that rings in my ears re: scrums is an old coach saying that the majority of the power comes from the second row.

That certainly is an amusing way of expressing it. The general sentiment of developing more passing oriented 5/8th is why I would not be adverse to seeing Matt To'omua get another go on the EoYT, even if he has been out of the spotlight recently. He offers something different at 10 to a JOC (James O'Connor)...

We did, they were just all on contract (mostly at the Brumbies).

I won't disagree that there are contradictions. I did note that it is a complicated topic. For all that Quade does have magic feet, he also has a sublime long pass. I'm pretty sure that its for his passing that he gravitated towards 5/8th. So, I do not agree with your assertion that he is trying...

I think its more complicated than people are making out. I mean, Quade is like Carlos Spencer. Bloody good 5/8th and an excitement machine, but flaky... which is not desirable in a test 5/8th. I agree that a good 5/8th should be a distributor, rather than stepper. That being said, a good 5/8th...

Should probably clarify which one. There's probably half a dozen of them in Melbourne.

I prefer other establishments generally; turf bar does not have a great range of beers on tap. I'll probably be heading to the Great Northern in Carlton North.

At least someone has grasped what I assume is Robbie's intention.

And in Central/Eastern Europe generally. The excitement it would develop amongst countries other than Georgia and Romania (well, in addition to those) would be immense. Of course, at the same time... hosting it in the Americas somewhere would also be amazing.

... just like every other World Cup. (To bring this in line with the rules)

The latter appears to be the equivalent of our BoM, so I am inclined to go with their assessment, absent any other factors.

SMH has provided some info on the Priestland situation: http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/union-news/priestland-out-of-wales-semifinals-team-20111013-1lmie.html

I call BS. I still remember the feeling from when Mortlock missed it. Could have been because I was sitting amongst a throng of Englishmen at that point though.

Bernie rates for mine. It is a shame that more forwards names don't rise to the top also. I suspect they've been there, just less noticeable.
