You can't defend yourself saying that the counterpart did something as retalliation is also policed out. Plead guilty with an open hand slap and then hope that sanzar mathmatecicians roll the dice for only 1-2 weeks.

What place is this? I thought I came to the internet and yet here I am reading a completely sensible argument as to why a certain player has tweeted something stupid

Speaking of locks, I remember reading an article over the internet that said Scotland send some of their young players over to NZ for some time to learn from the best and here is a perfect example of what that co-operation can fruit Look at this guy, he is 20 and already wreaking havoc all...

I think the AB's too are taking some risks, Sopoaga was unconsistent during the Soup season, though bettering to the business end and if people still remember Barret seemed to play injured in the final less than a month ago, so he might be underdone, they also have Dagg there who might just play...

There is no right or wrong side of Nigel Owens.

What is the story of everyone dropping Fardy? One game where things werent going his way and now he is out of the 23? He had the second most ruck involvements, most line out takes of the round and if I remember correctly he also snatched one steal. I know he did not rack up huge stats but he is...

I think Owens usually gives more slack to the attacking team and also seemed abit quicker with the whistle than usual, but as you said, very consistent indeed. It also seemed that it was ok to hit a jumping player as long as they had their eyes on the ball. With a SH referee I assume we would...

One would also wonder if JPP is there becouse of the racial quotas? I don't think his form justifies selection. Forcefan has posted ruck stats on the comment section of the blog post "five things we learned from the game" and he suggests Hooper hit 41 attacking and 4 defensive rucks, that was...

Higgers had atleast one steal

I think it also seemed odd, considering that Cheika does not care about numbers on backs that Kuridrani was not used more for punch in the 12 channel, I would have got him closer to the game thus giving more space on the outside for Gits.

3. Hooper 2. Pocock 1. Phipps

Its there

Marcell Coetzee went out with a croocked knee by the looks of it.

Interesting, Naholo out for season and Milner-skudder not with them for SA, so the back three for the RWC is there. DC for Sopoaga, TKB for Ellis, Sam Cane for either Vito or Messam and Crotty might be cut for an additional forward or Cory Jane, and that is my prediction for the RWC squad.

Im 90% sure that using your outside arm even taking a straight lineout is against the rules, thats what I have been told by a referee.

Was that not the year when he also covered some for 13?

I see that quite alot in professional games and never seen it pinged. I guess it is something they have a silent agreenment to let go if it doesnt affect the play

What is the story behind Piutau? I think he has been very strong during the two last S15 seasons, albeit being injured quite alot. Are they giving him the first games to impress and take the last spot in the RWC back three(given that B. Smith and Savea take the first spots)?

Mermoz, David Smith, Delon Armitage, Bakkies Botha and the starting hooker all had good games, but nothing special as you can expect with such a scoreline

Daily news suggest he has been left home to play Currie Cup, sounds like the right move
