Chiefs vs Waratahs - Super Rugby Round 16 2014

[Mr Doug]

Cyclo, I think I went out with the odd "egregious Miss" back in the sixties!!

Well done to the Tahs and their supporters. I just decanted my first stubbie for the day to toast the win!

Whats the bet every SA team facing the Sharks tanks like they always do to make sure they get that precious home final

I'd take that bet (as in I will bet you they don't). Sharks are likely to win most/all of their remaining games, but they will because they are a very good side. No way will any SA team throw the game because they want to give the Sharks a legs-up. Too much pride playing for your province, nothing to gain out of it if they throw it.

Another good hard game from the Aus Teams
ACC has a wallaby wing spot with his name on it. Such a good hard runner and finisher

He's playing the house down at 13. Yeah, stick him on the wing.

For the non-Tahs supporters:

AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) is the Wallaby 13. Anyone who doesn't agree should probably go support league.

Foley kicks fine. Another 100% performance so all l the naysayers after the Rebels game can line up (over there, near the sour grapes) and take it in turns to fuck off.

I'd love to see this game so might find out when it's on replay.

AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) is in career best form at 13, at least in terms of his Super Rugby play. But I suspect he'll end up on the wing for the Wallabies due to the shortage of players at that position.

I'd put Horne on the wing and defend him at 10. Foley/Beale with Folau and Cummins at the back.

Concur with the AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) thoughts..he has to play 13. So Kuridrani will miss out I'd say, Horne & Cummins on the wings and McCabe will get the utility bench spot.

Was trying to work out if Izzy was playing in moulded soles, he slipped over a lot..make that a hell of a lot!!

PS this may have already been discussed, apologies if so..too lazy to look over all the in-game threads!

Would the ABs play Conrad Smith on the wing, just to start Fekitoa? Sure, their wing options allow them to be more bloody-minded than us, but I just feel AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) is doing it all at the moment. I reckon McCabe on the wing is an option. No slight on Kuridrani - he deserved his time there last year, and deserves his place in the squad.It's not an issue with his ability to play 13 at all, but whether he's the best option for it.
Anyway, we'll win or lose Tests up front, so this is a side debate really.

I think he was. Fell over a lot.

Never seen him in anything else

maybe he'll change now!

As KB (Kurtley Beale) did!

My thoughts aren't a slight on Kuridrani either..I'm only basing my thoughts on current form for the France series. He's still a bloody good player..

To be clear, I'd prefer to see AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) at 13. I just don't think we will.

Thats what I meant @cyclopath

What ever position, I'm a big fan of him...

Just watched the game. Haven't seen an Aussie soup side out-enthuse a Kiwi side for a while. That first half pace was unbelievable. Was wondering how long the Tahs could keep it up. On that performance I reckon Douglas will be missed.

Still wondering why they don't at least try the odd kick restart to Izzy (since kicking out of hand in general play to him isn't done anymore)?

Yeah, I know, @biggsy, I just find this Aus approach to shuffling to get all the stars on at once a bit odd sometimes. Not having a go at you, it's not as if Kuridrani is a bad option!! I just think AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) a bit wasted at wing, I guess.
