@crucial had a couple of good seasons where his ball running was very incisive for us, running off Giteau
The season they thrashed the old Brumbies lineout set play where they gave him an angled run at speed? Yeah, he was quite good at that.

@crucial Think so - was a while back and I don't watch Super Rugby much.
In any case, I've always found him and Speight to be defensive liabilities. When they get a shoulder on its usually pretty good. But their positioning is shit, and you know it is by how vehemently any Brumbies fan will defend them over it.

At his best he is kind of a half-Mortlock.

That hair pull / tackle on Leyds should have been a yellow card. Disgusting.

Yep, swiftly followed by the yellow for the idiot bokke captain.

Captain is doing his role.

@justanotherfan which is to try and go after Folau then realise he's the same size so change tack and pin Genia on the ground and rub his forearm in his face? Man he's tough.

Nothing worse than a Kiwi ref.

@justanotherfan haaaaaahahahahaha. Good on ya wallabies. Saffas can't even win at home. At least your guys scored some points. Certificates for everyone!

Nothing separating these two (mediocre) teams....

Not sure what you are referring to specifically or if it is just bait but i somewhat agree in this case.
This ref is out of his depth at super rugby level. Don't know why he is doing internationals.
I guess it is just two lowly ranked teams though. -
"He grabbed the guy around the collar," Cheika said.
When further probed on the issue, Cheika was even more adamant.
"You've got to watch the vision (replay) ... he got him by the collar," the coach re-iterated.
"He didn't come in and grab him by the hair. Who tackles somebody by the hair? Forget about it ... it's a non-issue."
