Would have to imagine Blues would be too strong for Highlanders in this game King

Agree Wilson, but the threat will keep INEOS talking, and the only chance to get any money from them. Also if they just shrug and walk away, will make it hard for any team anywhere to be confident of sponsorship deals I imagine.

Well perhaps it shows how important the press over here think it is, a bit more speculation on who gets Wallaby job isn't really high on a lot of people's priorities, so probably waiting until no other rugby news. I must admit I interested but in general, don't think it really most over here are.

Got the makings of interesting one this one. I would think Chiefs would be warm favourites.

Canes still probably without Proctor and Harkin out too, so reaching in for WTG boys even more perhaps.

Yep as does NPC, but usally the player of day is still someone who score most tries etc. Rugby is a game where I always think the players will know who is causes the most problem to them. If someone stands out more in a lesser team etc, perhaps he one that deserves it anyway as it maybe more...

Yep and why I like it so much, not a popularity contest.

I do like the idea of captains and coaches of opposition doing the voting, as they tend to know who is hurting them on the field. I think otherwise it too easy to get highlight package players only getting the votes.

I heard (I think it was Nic Berry) say during game, carry on w (with conversion), TMO is checking it in background. Like that have the kick, TMO check and can always overturn decision after that. I know some calls are asked to be checked straight away if ref uncertain, but I thought that was...

Bloody another top game. Geez and that ws only pick I got right all weekend!!! By geez Quinn Tupaea had a cracker, best he has played since the knee injury, was very good. Whole Chiefs team I thought looked pretty good, Leroy Carter looks like he may enjoy playing 15s. DMac certainly looked...

Well Tahs fans get into Super website and enjoy, the Tahs are on second spot on ladder, and Crusaders will be rejoicing being on top! Pos. P W D L +/- PTS 1 Crusaders 1 1 0 0 8 4 2 NSW Waratahs 1 1 0 0 1 4 3 Highlanders 1 0 0 1 -1 1 4 ACT Brumbies 0 0 0 0 0 0 5...

Also not sure what time , but in the Tahs/Clan match, we got an example of the new pillars rule around ruck for team in possession, Clan prop penalised for being in pillar position and stopping Tahs player from getting at halfback. I like this change, not the other one as I think you should be...

Was a good game, and although there were plenty of mistakes and team I was supporting lost, I thought it was a great way to start season. Don't underestimate how much winning in last minute of game will do to a; get Tah's people back at games for the excitement and b; get them switching on their...

Well was a bloody good first up game even if Canes did lose. Wasn't perfect by any means, but I enjoy a bit of chaos on the field . Canes desperately need some players back, hopefully with Proctor (and Higgins) ok for next week, we will see Sullican back on wing, and we get a fullback fir. Young...

Yep Ig, I actually would love there to be a way of restricting the number of replacements, accept for injuries etc, unfortunately probably too hard as it would be too easily abused with the rules on head knocks etc (which is already happening I think). I reckon 2-3 replacements allowed per...

Could well be the thinking Derps. o_O Bugger me I thought co-captains was taking the proverbial, but 4???

Yep well they pulled out of Amreica's Cup haven't they? Think Ineos have sunk near a billion in Manchester United, so may just be finding need to save some $s? NZR will have to line up, Ben Ainslie's America's cup team is also suing them.

That will stop a lot of conversions if the time start when ref indicates try. By geez if a try is scored under a pile of bodies it will take a while for opposition to get up. I agree it's a good idea when kicker has ball in hand (or available), but if it from when try scored??

I actually almost in 2 minds, obviously I will cheer the Clan, but I think it so important for Super rugby that Tahs and Reds do well this year.

After first couple of weeks of 6Ns, you would think the Lions will be made up of at least 14- 15 Irish players, 8-10 English , 7-9 Scots and a couple of Welsh? Not sure of touring number, usually 35 or something?
