Tangentially related, Crusaders Legend Oli Jager will make his international debut for Ireland this weekend. Took Ireland all of 3 games to snap him up. Sure he'll feel at home alongside Lowe, Aki, and JGP. Happy for him, but still a bit disappointed we never capped him. Yeah,nah. Happy we went wit...

Force to push the canes close at home. Going to be rather warm too If you watched stan sport and thier predictions you would have the following idea; No Ardie is playing and the force are going to be awesome. Did I mention that Ardie isn't there? Well that was the only talking point that they had, ...

Invalid theory. Shown by establishments having a crap steak and cheese pie and excellent other varieties.
But how do you compare say a beef rendang pie with say a satay chicken pie?

Ask for Clogsy's opion surely.

Calab is slightly taller than Isaia. Not quite the same overall mass but I don't have an issue with him. He is a flanker, a tall one and can cover lock from say the bench . . .

I guess we’ll soon see if DC has been foxing during the trials.

But what about the 2 amazing AB props the Reds hired? Won't they make a big difference?

Mods: could you please merge the OP contents and subsequent posts from the other, later thread into this one. Hear Hear. I refuse to post on the slower and therefore inferior fred (i do want to nick the pretty pictures though) Also I am doing my little happy dance every time i realise NO MORE MIDGET!

Ahem.

While purdy this is a redundant fred.

Mods, please delete or merge as I was first.

Also I am expecting all the shortest locks to be selected by the new coach as having 2m tall players on the park is not the hurricanes way

tough one for the neutral supporter.

Don't want crusaders to win anything.

Don't want the cheats to win anything so traitourus Taranaki remain without a super rugby title.

Hopefully a boring draw!

As the Force supporter cannot be bothered starting a fred I thought I'd put a place holder in. Info is sparse as neither side has been named and neither teams website is useful for gathering info so.

Well yes. There was a 97% increase in participation once the Rebels were established, and a four-fold increase in participation in Perth when the Force were established - chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Committees/Senate/Community_Af...

Phew. A win that is sweeter than a steak and cheese pie. Good to see Kane gobbling up the runs, 3 centuries in 4 innings i think.

I live in the eastern suburbs and besides a little pocket around Coogee/randwick which is largely propped up by Irish, rugby doesn’t exist. It’s a north of the bridge game in Sydney these days.

Rebels debt isn’t bad when you get into it. ~10m to ATO. I assume from BAS rather than income. fudge them off on a $5/week payment plan. ~7m to directors. Write that off.
