    New Zealand dominance

    Ironic, considering your astute and cohesive reply is fraught with personal attacks.

    Post your questions to legendary referee, Jonathan Kaplan!

    What is your evaluation of Wayne Barnes' performance in the 07 RWC quarter final match between France and NZL?

    Sam Burgess...What do we think?

    It'll be hard. I see him ousting Twelvetrees at 12. That's his best shot. It would relieve some pressure from Farrell to have someone that massive outside him to go over the advantage line. He's got some pretty freaky offloading abilities like SBW. I'm not saying he'll be a player like Nonu or...

    [2014 Super Rugby] New Zealand conference

    That training session looked bloody intense.

    Weakest position in the All Blacks squad

    I feel like the front row and centres are the weakest. New Zealand has no real 'enforcer' anymore like South Africa, England, Ireland or France. Messam is tightening up his game which is great but they often get battered in the forwards. Very athletic players who have incredible ball skills but...

    Maybe this is why I don't get the NH club rugby

    Completely agree. I also don't like it when teams get gutted much like what happens in South Africa. Weaker teams just feed Toulouse. Louis Picamoles for instance!!!

    [2014 Super Rugby] New Zealand conference

    I honestly don't see Benji Marshall as fullback. I see him as an outside centre or right wing. He hasn't got the skills like Folau or Dagg to play at fullback. With Kaino back I see Luatua being used more in number 8 as back up to Saili or in the locks. I'm very excited to watch the Blues this...

    Saints to be punished for allowing North to play with Wales

    Yeah because no one has to balance work with hobbies. Ever. It's totally impossible.

    England fly-half

    George Ford and Danny Cipriani. Pretty easy really.

    Saints to be punished for allowing North to play with Wales

    This will turn the way of football. Club before country mentality should be cut down before it is allowed to gain any more momentum. This is another coffin in the nail and why I slowly grow disgusted with how this game is going. Professionalism has ruined this beautiful game. I truly believe...

    Saints to be punished for allowing North to play with Wales

    Hahahahahahaha. The premier league is an absolute joke! Seriously?!?! The club said it was okay. It's their money and their player so they can do whatever the **** they want. Why does it matter if George North isn't available for a game? Does it mean a club gets fined 60k per game for each...

    Where do you see rugby in..50 years? 20? 10?"

    I think rugby will be a true international sport in 50 years. With countries like Japan, USA, Canada, Georgia, Romania, Germany etc becoming more competitive especially with the inclusion of sevens in the olympics. This will only aid in making the game more developed and hopefully more...

    TRF_SelimNiai’s “International Rugby Review and Awards†Post

    The World XV was hilarious. In my opinion it should be this:- 1) Alex Corbisiero (England) 2) Bismarck Du Plessis (South Africa) 3) Juan Figallo (Argentina) 4) Eben Etzebeth (South Africa) 5) Sam Whitelock (New Zealand) 6) Liam Messam (New Zealand) 7) Michael Hooper (Australia) 8) Kieran Read...

    [EOYT] Wales v Australia, 30/11/13

    Gatland is the biggest piece of **** in modern day rugby. So incredibly biased when talking to the media. Every time Wales lose he says they're robbed of victory. Couldn't simply be that they have poor tactics and rely too much on one dimensional play? Pass it to the biggest guy you can find and...

    If you could change ONE rule tonight what would it be?

    I reckon if a penalty is in the 22m region it should be 3 but outside of that it should be 2 points. Keep tries as they are. Maybe? But something definitely needs to change. You shouldn't go out with the intent of winning by penalties. Notice when teams actually want to scrummage properly like...

    RLWC Final 2013 - Australia vs. New Zealand

    It'll be a good game but does anyone actually expect NZ to win? Australia are too good and NZ are off form. Australia by 10+ is my prediction.

    What? You on drugs?

    [EOYT] Ireland vs New Zealand 24/11/13

    Irish got away with murder at the breakdown. That was the only reason the Irish got anywhere near the All Blacks. Any time the All Blacks got into the Irish 22 they'd slow it down, play off their feet, or put hands in the ruck. Nigel Owens warned and warned them yet never dug into his pocket...

    [EOYT] England vs. Australia 02/11/13

    What's the point of supporting this silly game? England continually get away with CLEAR knock ons, playing offside, laying all over the ball, and illegal rucking. This happens every game the English play, it's ridiculous, the ref is always on their side and that Mike Brown incident just sums it...

    [2013 TRC] South Africa vs. New Zealand in Johannesburg (05/10/2013)

    Exciting game but New Zealand just took it to another level in the final 20 (apart from Ben Franks who is an absolute retard). Read man of the match. I have a new found respect for Nigel Owens, best ref'ing I have seen in a long time. My only rather small complaint was that Fourie du Preez was...
