Re: Law Rant; Tackling in the air
The laws are a joke at the moment. When two people go up for the ball and one ends up getting hurt - due to competition - the ref can decide one player wasn't really going for the ball, and card him. Likewise people jumping to catch balls which are bouncing along the ground... no. Like when an All ...

Re: Pick your Rugby Championship XV
Lets be honest. The team should just be the All Blacks. They are so far ahead at the moment, man for man, they are the best. I could find space for Habana and maybe Hooper. As fantastically well as Genia is playing, he's no Aaron Smith. I'd have Cane over Hooper. Habana, yes. Creevy on the bench. I...
