until they play the Rebels again later in the season. Also, think they play the Lions in Brisbane as well....

If the Reds manage to get a handy lead (preferably with the 4-try BP) in this game then I would like to see Quade and Will substituted to give their understudies some game time in their positions so that if injuries occur later in the system they have had a run there at Super Rugby level.

Also on Sivi, I read that he wanted to play for Fiji in 2002 but their union wouldn't pay for his flight home to participate in the training camp and game that would have locked him away with them for his career. He hadn't made it to the Chiefs at that stage and was playing 2nd Division NPC...

As long as I and most others here would love to see it brought back, think it has pretty much gone the way of the dodo. Mum's and Dad's fearing for little Johnny's safety and tv look. The refs need to clamp down harder on the breakdown, even more so than last year with yellow cards early and...

I'm hoping that TPN is rested for this game so that his knee has an opportunity to heal some more. As much as his physicality would come in handy if the 'tahs can play an up-tempo game (easier said than done as their opponents have a tendency to go down quicker and more often than a cheap whore)...

So what your saying is do what Robbie Deans instigated with the Wallabies when he came on board.

So Lions for 14th, Cheetahs for the Spoon?

Are you talking about this? http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/union-match-report/italy-stun-france-for-historic-win-20110313-1bsj0.html Congrats on their first major scalp after years of coming close to claiming one (unless you count Ireland, Scotland or Wales? as major scalps). FOr once the...

Pretty sure Bruce has admitted he was referring to Ryan Cross.

Lachlan Fear is off to Japan? From what I've heard in the past it wouldn't surprise me.

The only problem is He Of The Invisible Cloak would get away with not releasing the tackler and his teammates know that it is an 8 man effort.

Not just world cup but across all levels of pro rugby in Oz. The WC often highlights the issues.

I voted for breakdown as there are ways to overcome a weak scrum. A lot of the other problems with our rugby would be fixed with better application at the breakdown as it would draw more attackers and defenders in when we don't have the ball and allow quicker ball when we do have it if we got...

Watching Australian teams over the last few weeks has got me to thinking where our greatest weakness lies. Most would simply say the scrum as we always seem to be backpeddling, some will say defence (especially when Quade Cooper is involved), others will say handling as we drop plenty of pill...

What's Heyneke Meyer doing? He'd be a good get for the Brumbies. Having a look at the situation in Canberra you could argue that they need an external audit taken of the entire organisation. I'd suggest hire Crawford (the one who did the soccer audit) to look at the corporate governance and...

What's happened with Jono Lance? Injured or cut?

Brumbies 3 Moore 2 Vaea 1 McCabe Reds 3 Humphries 2 Robinson 1 Higginbotham

According to the Foxsports commentators Giteau had his best game of the season tonight. He must have been absolutely woeful in the others then. The Brumbies were lucky for not getting carded as it seemed every time the Reds got anywhere near the Brumbies 22 they gave away a penalty. Can...

I don't give them much chance. Their best chance was four years ago but they had the wrong coach. They're a bit old in the tooth now.
