Can we have Sunday afternoon rugby every week please? Gutsy call by the Reds to go for try when awarded a penalty just before half time. Stern try line defence by the Chiefs was overcome by cool headed play from the Reds. The try and conversion reset the dynamics of the game - especial when...

Yet Fox showed the Dubai Sevens. Why the inconsistency?

Really we could do much better than a six team knock-out... Why not include another six: NSW Country, Qld Country, the ACT grand finalists, Victoria, WA Come to think of it, why not have another two involved: Combined States (South Australia, NT & Tassie) and 'Western Sydney' (basically a...

Big pluses for the Brumbies so far... All players are contributing week in and week out Ability to pick up bonus points Self belief Fitness If the Brumbies can keep this up, then it will be hard for QLD to beg them back. But would love to see the Reds get into the top six, if that is at...

Just watched a replay of the game. A very dissappointing loss by the Reds. Leaving aside the Reds many handling errors (whilst in attack) and perplexing referee decisions, there were numerous wasted opportunities by the Reds including: 12th minute: Reds miss the kick for touch - a missed...

Must admit I'm amazed at the quality of the Waratahs team notwithstanding the injury toll. When the teams were introduced on telly before the game - I thought OMG, the Waratahs have so much size and strength in the forward pack. How could the Brumbies contain them? I sought consolaltion in the...

SRT @ #63 Ouch! thats a sobering thought about our Aussie school rep on the international stage

Tonight Nic White firstly 'looked' then kicked with purpose - really good to see this come into his game tonight. I think there was only one aimless 'no look' box kick - but the rest were absolute beauties because he: 1. moved quickly away from the break down 2. sized up the situation 3...

Uni 27 Gordon 25. Uni half-back scores in the corner right on full time to make it 25-all. Great sideline conversion gets a win for Uni. Poor decision making by Gordon in the last 10 minutes cost them the game. With a less than two minutes on the clock, the Gordon no. 10 had plenty of time...

First half was an absorbing contest. Waratahs had the better of territory and possession - though the Brumbies looked relatively 'composed' in defence. At times it seemed the Brumbies didn't contest the breakdown enough but I guess the plan was to absorb the Waratahs 1st half pressure. The try...

I hope the Force can pick up some star players (South African, European) and develop their local school and club talent. I reckon the Force could establish some rugby partnerships with developing rugby nations - say Sri Lanka, India, Kenya, Namibia, Uganda, Kazakhstan - whereby youngish...

Have only seen part of the 2nd half (replay) from when the Tahs led 20-17. I was struck a few things: 1. The Tahs seemed to have a 'wait and see' approach to defence so the Crusaders were not put under pressure. In the lead up to the two Crusaders 2nd half tries, it looked like a Crusaders...

Methinks he can do much more good by not going into politics

I reckon the Reds have plenty more to give in this comp - I'm not prepared to give up on them yet... They were good against the Tahs, Brumbies (unfortunately), Sharks (a great first 30 minutes, they really should have kicked on and won that game) and Stormers - all quality opposition...

Brumbies held their own against the Bulls last night. Both forwards packs had periods on being 'on top' but overall the honours were even I reckon. Very encouraging to see some aggressive Brumbies defence on the Bulls - particularly when the Bulls were attacking with speed, power and some...

Yes The Brumbies 2nd trywas beautiful to watch. If, before the game someone said the Brumbies would get 2 comp points from the match, then you would definately have been happy with that - but to lose after outscoring the opposition by five tries to two was a bit hard to take. Some critical...

Turning Points In the Reds - Sharks game two weeks ago, the Reds were going brilliantly for the 1st 30 minutes. Through dominant, smart, intense play they led 14-0 and the sharks were really down for the count. The Reds were awarded a penalty and duely kicked it to lead 17-0. At the time I...

The crazy thing about Digby's tackle is the the ball was knocked-on at the point of impact - advantage Reds. So there was no need to go through with the tackle - though Digby wasn't to know that.

Only just watched a replay of the game. Turning point of the game: the decision to take the penalty shot at the 30 minute mark - moving the score from 14-0 to 17-0. Easy to say with the benefit of hindsight - but the flow of the game was with the Reds. Had the Reds taken the kick for touch...

Yes indeed RedsHappy. Rod Macqueen won the rugby world cup with a team that had suffered record losses to the ABs and theBoks and turned them into World Cup winners
