I'd expect a 3-week ban for that. Unfortunate because I don't think it was deliberate but a boot to the head is a boot to the head, and this is the era of rugby we're in.

Who would win in a footrace: Piri Weepu, or a snail?

We didn't deserve to win that game.

.................. I'm speechless.

I turned the game off with about 6 minutes to play. That was awful. Awful awful awful.

What the hell is going on out there. Seriously.

Well god damnit.

Out set pieces tonight have been TERRIBLE. Come on.

Give Tasmania a team, if you ask me. :rolleyes:

Yeah, starting to get nervous about this weekend the closer it gets, due to the fact that after returning from injury I've had two practice sessions with the team to get things down. We've gone over some basic running plays, kicks, drop goals, kickoffs, lineouts, scrums, etc. It's a lot to learn...

Update: I will be starting at 10 this weekend. Slightly confused about appointing a rookie to starting at 10, but I'm pumped about the decision.

First club fixture was Saturday. Well, first was last week, but the other club didn't have a women's team (our league organizes matches on a club vs. club basis and all the different teams play consecutively). Anyway, while I didn't play because I'm still recovering from my rib and knee...

I've been the same way with cricket lately myself. Also learning some new things about rugby from a player's perspective now that I've started playing.

Got injured at practice the other night doing some full-contact scrimmaging. I got the ball out wide with no defenders in front of me, but I'm not a fast runner so I got caught from behind. The tackler grabbed my shirt collar and ripped me to the ground. I landed awkwardly on my shoulder and...

They're even showing it on ESPN3 here in the United States. Good stuff.

So, with the help of my friends, I have completely switched up my gym program. I was going 3 times a week and working out my whole body but only rather lightly, every time. Now I'm going to a different one (I graduated so I can't go to my university's anymore since I'm officially no longer a...

Maybe the Blues will play Munro at 10. The position is our biggest weakness though. I'm just repeating the mantra to myself that if the All Blacks can win the world cup with 10 being their main weakness, then the Blues can win the Super 15 without a world class 10.

And now I've had the time. First full training session with the girls. They go HARD. I thought I was in pretty good shape. I struggled to keep up with the props by the end of the 2-hour training session.

Toeava, really? Still, you have a fair point. Despite the Barbarians shirt "supposedly" (I say that a bit more tentatively after today's joke of a match) meaning something, I doubt that if they tried to call up the very best 22 from the pool of players not selected as their opponents that very...
