Given we won by a bit last week, we'll probably collapse in a heap this week. Consistent we ain't.

I'll be coaching in the afternoon for a home game, and probably going to the Ettamogah for the presentations before jumping on a train at Seven Hills.

This means no pre-game drinks unfortunately, though with the migraines I've been having after booze lately, I think its probably end of the road for alcohol.

You clearly need to drink with me more often. Then, headaches will be the last thing on your mind. (pun intended)

Some strange decisions in there for me. Why is McCaw in over Todd? Drummond over Ellis? Is Bird injured?

^^^^^^^^^^ McCaw because he needs pre-Test season game time; Drummond for his speed of service v Ellis' superior kicking game; and it's Bird's turn to be rested (but I'm surprised it's a total rest v a week on the bench).

Nah. Crusaders get up they will more than likely take that spot in the finals you think the Rebels are in line for. Best hope for Aus is for the Tahs to finally put the Cru out of the running.

Not exactly.. Crusaders have canes in Wellington come rd 16, then Brumbies in Canberra rd 18. And who knows, Blues got up over Bulls last weekend and might still have a bit of a push for their match up at Eden with the saders.. So if all goes to plan, then I'd love to see the Rebs have a good stretch home.. And deep deep inside, I'd love to see the Tahs get up because it's just good for Aus rugby in general getting the big wins over NZ teams. But then my heart still, illogically, says 'everything in the rugby world, please move in Melbourne's favour'

Crusaders by 12.
Pains me to say it, but it's what I think. Tahs lacking polish.

I can see what you're trying to do there but your blokes are big favs for this one. On t'other hand the kiwi TAB are offering something like $6.25 for CruSadists by 11-20 so maybe you should chuck some pocket change (say $100) at it :)

I do like the way your heart 'thinks'. Unfortunately, my head says that if the Cru beat the Tahs, they will win every other game on the way to the finals, including the Brumbies, and beat out either the Rebels or Brumbies for the last finals spot. So go Tahs.

Just for a moment can we remember these are dirty, cheating KIWIS and they need to be put to the sword. Support your fellow Aussie you miserable, traitorous, buggers

Dagg injured during warm ups. Inauspicious. Or "FUCK!" in basic Anglo-Saxon.

^^^^^^^ how exactly does one "silty" ones fellow Aussie? Sounds dodgy if you ask me...........

Cheika: Right, get out there and kill, kill, kill. But first we need you to hold hands with a strange child as you walk out. That won't be distracting at all.
