I'd probably have Smith or Higgers at 8 (at least on attacking scrums), but otherwise for the forwards pretty spot on. Although like I've said before I'd be tempted to get Smith as much rest as you can given he's fucking 40! Should be get lucky and make the finals you'd want him fairly fresh. So...

Yeah, I agree with this assessment watching the game live. I felt like he did get one of his arms up to wrap and the player bounced out. The other thing is I think he got surprised with how quickly the attacking player came up on him. I do feel like the home team media crew definitely helped...

Honestly, Timani is the biggest disappointment in Australian Rugby at the moment!

Confirmed that Tupou has avoided any ban.

Honestly, I felt like last year did more damage to Hanigans development than the good it did. He should have been playing NRC. He might be ready towards the end of the season but I Timu and Tui are closer to being Wallaby ready. Timani has yet to do anything to justify his continuous selection...

Couldn't help but think of this clip.

Fuck I have been so impressed with Daugunu and CFS on the wings I completely forgot we have Perese coming back! We'll in that case Paia'aua isn't going to get off the bench for a while... I'm guessing once Perese is at 100% we'll have Tuttle, Lance, Daugunu, Kerevi, CFS, Perese Toua. Maybe...

Yeah completely agree. Should have St. George back, Tui too. Higgers maybe coming back into the starting side.

Watching the game live I remember (perhaps wrongly) there was another angle shown that did show exactly what you are talking about. But it was only shown once and never played again. Although I'd had a few drinks watching the cricket beforehand and it was pretty late, so maybe I'm just losing my...

I don't know that he had much to do with the result. :P

Nah, I think his lineout would be shaky and his scrummaging will be poor too, but he's got about as much experience as a Super Rugby hooker as Uelese. So I'd say he's a chance.

I largely agree, but I think the rules need to be such that they are easy to enforce, this is probably the biggest issue we are having with Rugby at the moment, we have all these wonderful rules (probably drafted by lawyers or something). There is clearly little if any consideration given to how...

Are we there yet? Have we heard anything yet?

I think it's a case of 'if you're not with me you're against me'.

You clearly haven't seen me criticise the Reds... But you missed Hanigan, at least I think I have rubbished him, if I haven't I apologize. Although he looks more physical than he did last year. Regarding Wells, I don't think he's there yet, but he could be towards the end of the season.

Tataf played for NSW?! I jest. I felt the same way about Moore too last year and I even specifically mentioned Latu.

I actually aren't keen on TPN starting. I feel like we have a number of young (and less young) prospects on the rise. BPA, Ulelese, Rangi, Able. Not to mention Andrew Ready and Tolu Latu. We really need to be geering up for the RWC not picking average players who aren't even playing in Australia.

This is why I think Tui is a crazy (maybe crazy like a fox) idea, that might just be crazy enough to work. Perhaps sadly we'll not get to see Tui playing any 6 as the Reds have a host of back row players half of whom should make the Wallabies Squad. But he could be the Miley Cyrus solution (the...

Oh, I'm not questioning his commitment to the team and his will and drive to do well. He puts that Waratahs team on his back and drags them kicking and screaming at times. What I have a problem with (so far as his captaincy goes) is that he just isn't executing right. If nothing else when a...

You forgot that this was the second last sunday in the month, so you've gotta take 3 days off for that.
