jeez the camera angles are bad in the Republic. I thought the Highlanders would be able to win the game up front but obviously I overestimated the abilities of our forward pack. Chopping and changing works well with the All Blacks but we are not the All Blacks. I think our mediocre forward...

Ahhh **** Ardie's explosiveness was too much for my team today, I think with maybe Shane Christie and if we still had Nasi Manu playing for us we would've won that. Got to stop that man. Highlanders need to play better in the rain! :P

this ref is really lenient on the offside rule, tackles (some without arms, some late, one without ball), and forward passes. It's good though because the game is flowing. I reckon it will come down to the benches of both teams.

I do hope you're talking about Rob Thompson! Dude offers nothing on attack, and nothing on defense. He's a major speedbump though. Burleigh 2.0.

Again I am an outsider but think like many others players should be chosen on merit not skin colour. In the republic I'd be considered a "coloured" person lol which is just ridiculous as we all have colour at the end of the day. BUT, it would be interesting to know if anything meaningful is...

Chiliboy Ralepelle is another I could include but IMO he never fulfilled his potential, Ashley Johnson also was a player I loved watching. Ndugnane had a pretty impressive game against my Highlanders just past week.

What a useless troll he is too. Anyway, someone here said that Reds look good for next years Super Rugby season because they're progressing really well. Umm the Reds have been in terrible form up until here. And the Highlanders fielded a very under-strength side. I'll wait for them to make...

Glen Jackson is a total muppet who should be banned from reffing, first game I've watched where illegal play 3+ phases back which had no impact on a try being scored can be penalised with penalty and disallowed try. Yes Wheeler will probably be cited and suspended, fair enough. But a messy...

Rest in peace Jonah. You were my childhood hero growing up, I was still in pre school when you ran over Mike Catt, but my fondest memories of you include you partnering Joeli Vidiri on the wings for Counties (A combination that is hard to best!!) and of course that try against Australia. Jonah...

I've been waiting what, 12 years to say this, but... 4... MORE... YEARS, George Gregan!!! I was hoping Straya would be leading the game until the 75th minute til we land a drop goal and smash em in a scrum and break their hearts. Oh well. It couldn't have been scripted better, 7 great AB's...

Funny singing is mentioned. Ditch the Swing Low slave song and adapt a football anthem like come on you spurs/YNWA/Forever blowing bubbles/delilah etc, NZ could do the same, we play "Why does love do this to me" - The Exponents and "Loyal" - Dave Dobbyn like there is no other song to play...

If we're talking future loosies, don't count out Elliot Dixon, Jordan Taufua, and possibly Steven Luatua could make a renaissance. I think we will have trouble filling McCaw's boots if Cane is not up to the task. I am real biased but James Lentjes looks like a decent young pilferering openside...

I think Foley has tendencies to let the pressure get to him in big games. Inconsistent if you will. I think he's still a brilliant player, but yeah. Play Quade if you have some balls :P

http://www.rdm.co.za/sport/2015/05/04/how-bulls-rugby-philosophy-is-stifling-pierre-spies A really insightful article. I used to consider him the best No. 8 in the world for a short period of time. Til Kieran Read hit his stride.

Just a question not really relevant to the game but as the teams were announced I was thinking about who would replace Bernard Foley if he got injured, and where Berrick Barnes would rank amongst recent Aussie flyhalves. Do you think he is any good?

Good: - Dan Carter's kicking and it is remarkable he has played so many minutes but stayed injury-free - South Africa played really well in patches and dominated certain facets of the game from time to time, especially the breakdown. - Victor Matfield played well in his last game. - Was a...

Yes in NZ there are weight divisions. Open grade and restricted grade. Usually in the restricted grade everyone is much smaller including props. I reckon it's more a thing about upbringing as any footage of Pacific islanders in Auckland in the 70s/80s will show much more skinnier folk than now...

NZ is full of foreign Pacific players lol the majority were born and raised in NZ and come through the NZ system. There's a few who come here on High school scholarship such as Joe Rokocoko and Malakai Fekitoa but they're in the minority. I can't recommend anything for the NH. Here in NZ the...

Good - Japan playing very well That the rugby has generally been very entertaining to watch Argentina have improved on weaknesses ABs strategy has worked thus far Bad - Media being annoying, very negative about ABs before playing France Pools could be drawn differently, like how Fifa World...

I feel your pain. Owens had a really bad game refereeing South Africa - Samoa 2011 world cup.
