I can’t see the Reds winning by anything less than at least than 50 points.

Re: SRP Rd 6 - Reds v Brumbies
Thread title needs to be updated to include “Game of the round” since some other poser NZ thread is falsely trying to claim this.

Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)
I don’t know that anyone who didn’t own a banjo had any excitement about “rocket” Rod Davies. Actually I don’t think anyone who didn’t play banjo even called him rocket. No real comparison to”lightening” Cory Toole.

Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)
According to Wikipedia, Jordie Barret is also 6’4”. That’s basketball tall. I think it is fair to say most players heights are rounded upwards with one inch added. That's like point guard tall at best. Best Australian player ever was Phil Smyth. And he was 6’1”. And yes he did play guard. I had to ...

Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)
Charlie Cale doesn’t look particularly tall. Maybe the same height as Jordie. So I’d guess 6’1 or 6’2. Still a hell of a future Wallaby. That's a crazy take. He doesnt look much shorter than the locks. I did say same height as Jordie. I suspect Jordies height does actually round up to 6’3 although ...

Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)
I quite like it.

Force have just announced the signing of Sam Carter. Assume its for injury cover. He is 34, but we are pretty short of locks at the moment, think he could make a go of it?

Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)
In my humble opinion, IMHO, Toole should be the first picked Wallaby. He is a lot like my previous favourite player ever, Shane Williams. Graham Henry refused to pick williams for Wales because he was too small to tackle players like Lomu coming at him. I think it was Gatlands predecessor and then ...

Toole deserves a shot. Might be great. Might be Rod Davies Mk. 2. The Wales games seem as good a time as any. Hes worth 5-15 points a game. These aren't mugs he's running around either. His defence seems better this year too. If kellaway and Nawaqanitawase are the other members of the back three, t...

It is only on the wing. With a roving option. His positional game is too poor for fullback, or center.

Re: HURRICANES V REBELS SUPER RUGBY Rd 5 MATCH THREAD
What is it with the Rebels and slow first half starts. From the 34th minute onwards they actually won 28-21. But it’s a bit difficult to come back from 33 points down after 33 minutes. Quite similar to the reds game last week.

Might be worth keeping track of the number of starts, eg. (13/3) or (6/2). Otherwise, especially as the season goes on and players spend time out injured it gets hard to compare.
