Thanks fellas (LG especially). I'm currently engaged in the futile and joyless task of trying to convince some UKers that the mess of slow ball and aerial ping-pong they've been suffering under up there has absobloodylutely nothing to do with the ELVs. After that I'll attempt to convince them...

Was the old tackle interpretation whereby the tackler could keep his hands on the ball during the tackle and even after the maul had formed part of the ELVs, or did it come from somewhere else? Cheers!

Yeah, the list above has changed from the one I commented on. Fair enough. :thumb

How have Ewen's stars fallen? I would've thought the way he's turned the Reds around so far this season would bode well for his chances. Early days, I know. But still.

He still has some good pace. He very nearly chased down a full-stretch Ioane (I think it was) on the wing. Not bad for an old fella.

If they were to playing the game tomorrow there's no point putting Pocock in there. We don't even know for sure how he'll cope with the new interpretations. G Smith has done admirably but that's no fucking use to us. On the positive side by the time Pocock recovers everyone should've figured out...

Coming off a bye this is exactly the kind of match I can see the Force getting up for, especially after hearing Humphries' inspirational words following the Chiefs match. Nothing good can come of it really. They'd just better keep their injury-ravaged paws off of Sanchez and Cooper.

If they only give a yellow for witnessed eye-gouging then wtf do you have to do to get a red? Seems to me that they've decided that to underpunish on the field is to leave it up to the citing process to rectify, but to overpunish is to put their own balls on the block. Ergo no reds, ever.

You could be right in terms of the majority view. Most of what I'm going by are the latest opinions dribbled by south african posters on Keo, rugby365 and, to a lesser extent, BBC 606. And the ANZAC conspiracy is something that pops up every week (and is enthusiastically received) whenever one...

This probably isn't the right thread to ask in, but does anyone know why Link got the boot from Stade?

Won't stop the Saffas from whining -- they're largely convinced that there's an "ANZAC spirit conspiracy" against their sides, and that saffa refs are the only genuinely neutral refs to be found. I wouldn't mind seeing it go though, just so the seed of doubt doesn't fester in my mind after...

I missed a solid 50 mins of the Blues vs Crusaders match yesterday due to rain knocking out my fox sports link. It started just before kickoff, cleared a bit at about the 30 min mark and then started up again just prior to the 2nd half kickoff. Not sure if I can actually blame the media for...

Who was the official MotM?

Thanks mate. :thumb Not quite what I was after but it'll do for a start.

Anyone know a site which will give me scrum stats for this year?

That will happen when you play all your matches at home. Seems to have been a lot of saffa refs for those games as well, though hopefully that isn't a factor.

Sheehan has more curve to his goal-kicking than Gits. I didn't think it was possible.

Ah, missed this thread. My bad.

No live score and commentary? WEAK!

No thread for this yet? I'm scared of this game too, but surely we have to support them regardless? Let go of the hating, Reds supporters! O'Connor to 10, will be interesting. Hot conditions. That's about all I have to contribute. Hoping for an upset here, this is definitely a chance of...
