Fine for the Tahs, Horne defends in the 10/12 channel (go you hardest at him) while Beale plays "2nd 15" and off defensive lineouts they add Hooper defending at 10 with Foley taking the Hooker position next to the lineout

No worries we will run Speight and Rattlebones at him on the wing..

Love it how after being a defensive laughing stock just a few years ago, Phipps can now be described as a 'physical' halfback without the poster having his sanity questioned.

I wouldn't call him 'physical' but much like White, he does make his covering tackles, and being bigger then White does it well. 'Physical' halfback for my mind is a Burgess.. but he does the job.

Hurricanes tried that unsuccessful a couple of times IIRC, with a physical half back like Phipps and a quick flanker like Hooper you can compensate for Beale's lack of defensive ability even with a big blindside to defend.

Hurricanes dropped a lot of ball, too. And still got within 9.

Sounds so simple when you put it like that.

If he was captain perhaps. As he would be a bench loosie surely a ref would hold no grudge anyway

Well, that is what I suggested, but as others have also reminded me, actually getting him isolated means running the blind a lot.

And that very quickly loses any surprise

Only needs to work once to change the defensive line

The surprise would be if KB (Kurtley Beale) could do anything about it.

I live near the ground and the weather has suddenly gone from sunny and clear to overcast with gale force wind.

Game on. Excited and thirsty. Give it to AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper).

This cold miserable weather will play to the Ponies favour. They like miserable in Canberra.
