I wondered about that as well. They will probably show some footage of him. I'm still stunned by the tragedy of it to be honest.

Oops, they made it in: 14. Philippe Saint-Andre 13. Philippe Sella I would pick Dallaglio over Kefu.

If you want someone to snort, show the whites of their eyes and blow steam out their ears, maybe. If you want a performer on the park, no way. Willie O was dynamite in the early nineties and not as good when he broke back into rep footy in the late nineties after his knee injury. Dont let that...

Nathan Grey was 3 Tom Carters. He had a good boat, a better offload and could distribute. In fact, he started at 10 once for the Wallabies and shuffled in there once (at Melbourne and Twickers respectively I think). He is no Timmy Horan, but he is a far superior product to Carter. Having said...

RIP Shawn Mackay. What a tragedy and, as NTA says, no good for the driver and his family either. There are never any winners out of these things.

Hear, hear Scotty.

Re: Shawn Mackay hit by car You have probably read this elsewhere, but I posted it on TSF and its worth putting here as well. A very good article on Shawn Mackay. It also suggests why the players would have been out that late and that Mackay wouldnt have been drunk...

Amen to that. Also, Rabbit at 15 doesnt lack anything that Mitchell brings to the table. Its a stronger team. I wonder if that will happen during the game.

Tom Carter could probably play 10 and keep the mistakes to a minimum. He's going to give you nothing though. I dont subscribe to the "Beale is the messiah" theory, but he does have potential. I'd have Beale over Carter or McRae. However, I agree that some club rugby would be really good for him...

Is Caldwell really that far off a gold jersey? He is behind Horwill if he is fit and, probably behind Sharpe and Chisolm. Mumm is a lock/6 as is MMM so, in my book, those two are competing for the same spot. Kimlin seems to also consider himself a lock/6. Van is probably too old. Caldwell is...

Re: Comings and goings at the Force I understand Stanny is definitely gone. Would be glad to hear its just a rumour though.

Re: 2009 Shute Shield Not sure where they got it from (because I thought they were broke), but Southos have been throwing around a bit of cash which is how they got a few new players down there. Glad it happened though, a strong Souths is important.

Re: 2009 Shute Shield He is Cliffy Palu's cousin and FOB. http://manly-daily.whereilive.com.au/sport/story/wallabies-here-i-come/

He's been around for a fair while over there but has really come into his own this season. I look forward to his messages, they are hilarious. The anti Oz venom on TSF is a bit boring. TB is one of many. There are plenty of very good posters over there though so still worth a visit imo.

I picked the Blues. Do your worst.

Scarfie did you think you were doing an aftermatch interview when you posted that?

If I were Mooney, I would tell Houston to man mark Lauki and make sure every time he gets the ball, he is hit and hit hard. If Lauki has a big game, the chiefs will be difficult to stop. If Houston can complete this mission (as well as giving good go forward with ball in hand) it will be an...

In order, our top 12s: 1. Gits 2. Barnes 3. Staniforth 4. Smith 5. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 6. Horne And our top 13s: 1. Mortlock 2. Ioane 3. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 4. Horne 5. Staniforth 6. Cross No Tahu and no Carter. Staniforth picked on past performances to a degree but he is the type of player who never seems to lose form...

Cross doesnt impress me that much. I would have Horne ahead of him. Tyrone Smith is doing well again. Why hasnt anyone mentioned Tom Carter?

For some reason, despite having more Irish ancestors than is healthy (and no Welsh ancestors), I cant take to the Irish team. I like POC but the other players, by and large, annoy me. Particularly BOD, DOC and ROG. I admire ROG though. The Irish dominance in the lineout was the key factor and...
