To be fair I have been more impressed with the Argies than SA the last couple of years. SA had nothing last year and as long as we can match them with some big bodies i think we will be fine. NZ are up and down these days but seem to lack the star power of a few years ago and Argentina can beat...

Three games in 10 days i think so the big boys will all get a run. Morrison at 8 is a big call too, he is a genuine 80 minute player and has put on some weight in the last year. Not a trucking it up 8, but very like Kieran Reid, super support runner and fast for an 8.

Not sure about the scrummaging. Baxter is a good footballer but i wasn't sold on his scrum work. Same with Nick Hill, his body height and leg positioning is very high. However, Hill and King are massive units and hit the line hard with ball in hand. Goddard would have been a great inclusion for...

Marcus was the only reason England were still in the game against the Wallabies. I hate his stupid haircut but he was outstanding that day. I just dont think he clicks with the coach. No matter who they pick the BIL are going to try and bash their way through and play phase ball.

Starting with the Kiwis so you can assume the team will be all the first choice players. Gonna be some interesting selections.

What was the result of the Kings game?

Pakeho is the future. Outstanding against the Blues and looks a solid build. Daungunu would be great to keep but i see both of them and Goldsborough playing best at OC. Paisami will go after the WC probably, or possibly before as the player market gets crowded after. Henry would probably be a...

Any score update?

Manly won colts as well. However, it is a very good Rats side starting to hit their straps. 80 odd points scored in the last two weeks.

Barker and Waves looking very strong, Knox is still the unknown but have some top-notch footballers like Orr. I think the CAS forwards will be their strength this season but size in the backs may be an issue.

Rats backs were very good. Saunders, Marr, Miln and Ropati looked very dangerous every time they got the ball. The new half has also got a wicked pass. Uni, easts and Wicks to get a thousand back from the tahs (including a whole front row+ for uni) but Rats will be in the finals. Great to see...

I dont see any value in white. Has lost any speed and is very slow at breakdown clearance. Look at how well the Force go when the reserve half comes on each week, the speed of play doubles. Daungunu is killing it at OC and i reckon is a great bench option as he covers a few spots. Not really...

Based on recent form this could get ugly.

Have Knox had any trials, apart from the training session with Shore?

$43m up from $30m and one less team to fund. Waugh also said they had $60m debt which will be paid off this year following the Lions (presumably with about $30-$40m left over). Then the WC and hopefully another $100m. While we would all like someone to drop $1b into rugby its not happening so...
