Yeah disappointing they opted not to take the Tahs bonus point away. Hoping for a bit more spite than that.

I'm happy to lock in all 3 kiwi sides and Tahs. Stormers/Bulls/Brumbies playing for 2 spots (3rd and 6th), so 1 will face Tahs in SYD with winner to face the best kiwi side. I'm leaning towards the kiwis this year. Whole conference a few levels above the others. Which one is harder. Said...

Gotta admit I haven't been following overseas stuff at all. So it's just Giteau, Smith and Mitchell?

Fox article says 6 players made available by the changes but doesn't specify which 6. I'm reading Gits, Georgie, Elsom and Mitchell on caps, and Douglas and Ma'afu on Super commitment. Is that right?

The way I see it Pocock was one of the world's best players pre-injury. Since then Hooper has held his spot while he sat on the sidelines, and performed reasonably. The question for this year was whether Pocock would get back to his prior self - in which case there's no question he comes...

Holy shitballs. And here I was thinking Horwill started last year awfully. Talk about taking it to a new level. Awesome stuff Brumbies! Scoreline flattering to the Reds in the end.

In his case, yes.

I think for the Reds: Thomson, Khunt and JOC (James O'Connor) are huge signings. Injuries hurt them last year and losing Cooper early is a blow but very hard to see them not improving. 7th. My sense with the Force this year is a bit like the Cheetahs last year. Miracle run last year. Be very surprised if it is...

Here's a little spiel for you for Fox Fantasy. Is this the sort of thing you were after? Fox Sports Fantasy Super Rugby is back for 2015! Select Your Team: Pick 23 players from any club in Super Rugby within the salary cap provided. Then choose 15 of these to start and score points each week...

Haha cheers mate but this is a different comp - I haven't played it before so can't really describe how it works, why it's cool, etc., any better than anyone looking at it for the first time.

ARU doesn't appear to be backing up again this year. So the only 2 comps are the new Fox Sports one and the Draft.

You guys joining forces with ARU for tipping and fantasy again this year?

3 To'omua 2 AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 1 Hooper

I was waiting for them to start just knocking it on deliberately for the almost certain penalty from the resulting scrum. Lineout, rolling maul, another penalty, ad infinitum. I don't think it's a problem we can fix in a year. We have barely put a dent in it in the last 20. The issue is at...

I think the dominance of League in Australia has an awful lot to do with our inability to scrummage. I'd be surprised if it changes in the next decade.

Well that's it for the season. Final game was one of the worst we played all season in the end so probably good time to break and regroup. The biggest issue is still the scrum. We've definitely got our best props out there and there is only so much our best hooker can add. I'm not sure anything...

I just do live ticks and crosses to remind me. I've currently got Fainga'a on 4 crosses (handling error, lineout error, penalty conceded and general front row scrum cross I think they were). No ticks. Maybe wrong of course being live reactions - will see on the replay. Hope he comes good.

Gee that was ordinary. Phipps and Fainga'a in particular played the worst halves I've seen from them in a long time. Izzy did a couple of good things but his error was very costly. McCalman and Carter really dumb penalties. Scrum mostly beaten. Lineout similar. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) needs to develop a passing...

3 Simmons 2 Speight 1 McCalman

That's unfortunate. In the end, a dud call decided it. I guess that's how the close ones go sometimes.
