Ponies starting to look like third or fourth place getters in the Oz Conference. Given their performances I just can't see them beating a good defence, especially while Giteau remains at 10.
Their whole attack is very limited with such a massive weight of possession and territory against the Rebels they managed to score two tries, one of which was from an obviously forward pass. Their attack is very one out and reliant on certain individuals to get them over the gain line or make breaks. Those individuals were very effectively targetted by the Rebels defence and the result was a very poor gain line success rate and a shocking rate of conversion of chances. Against a strong defence like the Bulls or Crusaders they would be lucky to get anywhere near the line.

I guess a simple definition is an automated script or program that will interact without explicit control, or do something when given some external stimulus. Basically some computer is running a program to do something like a computer user would.

All very true. He was not going to have his contract renewed so he jumred but word is he will be there for the remainder of the Runners season.
The academy players are ready to mutiny as he keeps picking his favorites (murmurings he did an agreement with some clubs to push their players first) despite them totally lacking defensive skills, totally screwing up game plans and going alone (meaning ball hogs). The Runners backline is a complete shambles.

Can't say I disagree, I doubt he meant to stick his finger in Cipriani's eye and he just intended to push him in the face, but it was a stupid and ill-disciplined thing to do. Thing is Chapman is not a dirty or usually ill disciplined player so I was surprised when he did it.

Runners team to play Fiji Warriors tonight:
The Brumbies continue to look like they don't have a game plan most of the time.
They just look so one out, against the Chiefs they had a great team try with good hands to score in the corner, the rest of the two games it seems to be "chuck it to someone and let them have a run."
Also McCabe is in for a long season of getting smashed unless he learns to run at gaps and/or to swerve/sidestep/pass. The Rebels just lined up his straight hard runs and smashed him.

The bench usually plays with the runners, Edmonds, Ma'afu, Kimlin, White (hopefully), To'omua and A.Smith

Yeah I was hoping to see him come off the bench for Speight last weekend but didn't get any time. Hopefully he gets a run this weekend.

Good to see Jerry on the bench. He's been out for quite a while.

The Pope could offer more on the wing than Speight. A Smith does indeed deserve a run.
