Hard to believe the Tahs lost that. Had opportunities to put it beyond doubt. Had the better scrum, better ruck, made plenty of breaks in the backs. Tits for hands like you wouldn't believe. Blues, still some shortcomings, notably scrum, but hey played with enthusiasm a last. Why is that so hard to ...

Feel sorry for the poor Balinese. They got royally screwed by the downturn in tourism last time. About a 50% reduction in tourist income. Sad for The rest of Indonesia too if it turns out to be Jemiah Isamiah, as I can say from experience that relatively few of them are devout let alone extremist. T...

Benji should have been played at fullback rather than at first-five. Even Andrew Johns in his prime would not look good playing at first five eighth at Super rugby level in his first half a dozen games. Least not with this current Blues side. Yep. They played him out of position. He would have slay...

I remember one day some Sgt who didn't know me pulled me up for not marching. I looked at him incredulously. Did he not realise that I didn't do that marching shit? You see, I was involved in rugby. As such, I avoided many of the pitfalls of the common soldier; marching and 'duties' just being a co...

Surely they have to proclaim this as some sort of a miracle?

To be honest - this thread has left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth about Aussies, Kiwis and Poms, who I use to think were an ok bunch. Now I'm not so sure, although to be fair, I know there are some good sportsmen in these countries, just way too few. Also, most of people here are trolls who ped...

Opinions from those more in the know. Leiua? Will he hold onto the 12 shirt? If not, will he take the wing? If he takes the wing does Jane go to bench, or Taylor to bench and Jane to 15?

She continues to improve. Oddly enough at age 13 she could compete in the Olympics, but is too young for the European championships.

Am I right in saying that no league half has switched over an been a real success at 10? Rogers played it a bit but that was only a few years in rugby (I think he played it as a youngster too?) and he wasn't exactly a success. Myler has done okay but it took him 6 years to get a cap and he has only...

Yes, it's clearly me who doesn't know what I'm talking about. I'm probably being pious and a hypocrite as well. I think its quite straight forward what Bugger is saying.

I don't think Savea has the necessary temperament to reach the limits of his capability like McCaw or Wilkinson. I doubt that given that he has shown a great deal of improvement in only a few years. Someone like Nonu on the other hand to 5 or 6 before he realized that he needed to keep improving to...

Monkley was a great flank forward, and I've never set foot in Hamilton. I'm not alone in suggesting he would have done the black jersey proud. Monkley was infinitely a better rugby player than say Shayne Philpott, one of our worst All Blacks. He was mediocre. To call him the worst would suggest he ...

I agree with those saying he should stick it out. Doesn't sound like he has many NRL options. Take whatever comes his way with the Blues, get a full run in the ITM Cup with anyone who'll give him a full run of games, see how it goes next year. The language in that statement sounds like a guy who's ...

The answer is I'm not sure if it is ill discipline or part of the game plan. All teams try to intimidate, and push the boundaries, but you seem to get a lot of slack if you are also playing well and with consistent vigour. It appears to me that there is an unconscious bias by referees to the winning...

The ever unpopular Andy Ellis made a huge difference when he came on.
The best orchestrating halfback in NZ by some margin, doesn't have the Aaron Smith pass or the Piri Weepu Kardashian sized comedy arse, but once again he was calm and efficient and moved he team around expertly.

The fact that Benji didn't play in the NPC is nuts. Even SBW played in the NPC after a couple of seasons with Toulon. That and the fact that SBW was at the peak of his powers and 5 years younger, whereas Marshall is pushing 30 and was badly out of form in league. I suspect the morons at the Blue s ...
