Ben and Conrad, Coles, Nonu and Barret all being rested (or injured), from there super Semi and Final. Dagg might be on his chance for the RWC, either way he'll be back. His whole career has been in and out of form.

I thought the 'Tah's played very poorly and were lucky not to be down by 17 at half time alone. The penalty try / yellow was harsh, otherwise I saw no bias in the calls.

Pretty confident we'll beat the blues, 2 wins from the remaining 4 is how I think we will end up, so 2 short.

If we put an eight game winning streak together the title is ours! Was easy to type, so the lads shouldn't have a problem.

Crusaders are still only longs shots at making the playoffs, but that was a great weekend for them. 5 points, plus brumbies, 'tahs and highlanders all dropping games against weaker teams.

Turnstile Turner.

They didn't put it up at the game, I'd be surprised if it was only 26k, seemed like more. Without a doubt the Reds biggest of the season.

Shark park, Everest like altitude at Pretorius, crazy guy with chainsaw at the tron....zzzzzzzzz please. Reds have 4 tanks and not afraid to use them.

"It's so annoying as an AB fan to see that shit. I can just see him pulling it out in a RWC knockout match and getting carded." SBW 20111?

I'm not sure the best way to do it, they seemingly had no easy home games (eg lions) to do the triple rest on the sly. I guess he thought reducing the chances of winning one game was a better option than reducing the chances in 3 games, not saying I agree but some coaches put a reliance on...

"What's the deal with the highlanders only have 14?" extreme resting policy?

I don't know where George Smith is right now, but I'm sure he has changed the channel.

Oh hi there Patrick Osborne, you ah, you want to come back and play for the crusaders? yeah you do.

What is the go with the AB resting? In that is a certain group of players only allowed to play an 'x' amount of super rugby games this season?

"I don't think the rule will change anytime soon and I don't think a player who left Australia because he wasn't good enough to make the wallabies will influence it much. " . . . . my bad.

Yeah I also have zero sympathy for the offender and that's why we have bans, fines ect. But I do for the game, the rest of the team and the fans. How much should a team be punished for an individual mistake? No more than 10 points. My main beef though is the inconsistency of the red card...

I don't disagree with the decision, But I really hate Reds cards, they should before only ~20minutes (with the carded player not being able to return). Otherwise it is too much of an inconsistent punishment and often costs teams more points than they deserve for the offence. Can't see how...

Yeah, Nalando getting a yellow for kicking the ball away when the game was dead and a quick tap was literally impossible .... I thought was a little harsh, especially given there is no way you wouldn't take the scrum when its 12 v 15 The first one was blatant, 2nd was slightly unlucky due to...

Any thoughts on the third yellow?

Jez, glad I stayed up for this game. Would have been really interesting if the Sharks had of chosen to score a try at the end of the second half instead of kneeing a 'sader player in the head.
