Thanks RR. Hopefully I'll be able to make it all work but just in case my offer still stands

tell her you want to go for a few early drinks to show her she's special. There's this new place called the Harlequin in Ultimo you heard of and sounds interesting...

It is my mate's girlfriend who is organising it for his birthday but I'm sure she'll appreciate the thought ;)

Nice choice of venue though, better check it out...

if you want something local, the AB hotel and toxteth are both walking distance and will be showing the game. The AB is the bigger venue of the 2.

Scored one of the greatest spectator tries ever in the final. I think that's his career defining moment thus far ;)

haha...yeh that was not a funny moment in the game....when your team are down and you are desparate for them to be the next to score and then the other side scores a cheap arse try (almost)

i also joined becuase the green and gold podcasts are the only ones which actually talk about rugby in any detail........so kudos for that

Welcome Todd (that is you right?)

It is a bit early to cast judgement on Simmons, as he only had his first full game for the Wallabies against the Boks. This week will tell us a lot more about him I reckon. He is a solid workhorse-type lock who never really physically dominates in either attack or defence, and that is my one reservation about him being our starting lock.

By the sounds of it he is 3rd on the lock pecking order in Robbie's eyes behind Horwill and Vickerman.

he's played 7 tests now - debut was against the Boks last year.

ok so hes had a handful of games and what does he do in the range of locking skills:

strong push in scrum
lineout - safe on own ball / steal opposition ball
good mauler
runner
good supporter
good cleanouts
hits lot of breakdowns?
good defender?

mmmm......

I watched him play every game this year. He is the lock you need in the tight! No fancy stuff just plays tight all day hitting rucks and moving players out of the way. Perfect foild for Horwill and Vickermann.
