What rules? Who knows? One of the myriad combinations currently in use, but not the set used in the Super 14 for sure.
I'm not sure the coaches knew either - our players sure looked stumped when it came time to defend against a maul. Whoops.

Point taken. :)

And backing up my claim that Thomson did a bit more than his fellow loosies, and didn't have a bad game. Why he never had a ball carry perplexes me though.
My first sight of Thompson in the game was during an attacking ruck early on, where he was stood about three places out in the backline and watched as the French forwards blew over our men and secured posession. I don't doubt that he did a lot of work, but it would be nice for him to secure our posession before lining up to attack, ta.
I was impressed with Corey Jane, and Piri Weepu when he came on. Cowan seemed to be afraid to have a go around the fringes, and I'd think that if Brendon Leonard is fit this week Cowan is going to be out of the 22.
I am imagining that Kaino will come back to the blindside, Messam will stay put for lack of options, and Latimer will replace Thompson. Read on the bench as backup for 6/8, and god help us if Latimer gets injured.

Hey, at least we're not peaking between World Cups.
Knock on wood.

Until recently you need to use a credit card, for which you have to be 18 (or have very rich and trusting parents)
Often the billing/delivery address needs to match the credit card address too.
Surely the advent of Debit Plus cards circumvents this? Or do you have to be 18 to sign up for one?

Well, at least Henry is consistent.
Masaga on the bench, Jane to start.
He actually thinks that Jane is a better wing than Masaga? Rokocoko prefers the left, Masaga played on the right all season, surely this isn't a difficult decision?
Somehow, I don't think the ball is going to spread much further than the forwards and inside backs. Of course, with Thompson and Messam in the loosies, it doesn't have to go much further than that to do some damage.

Yeah, our supposed depth is really turning into a bit of a joke. We've got world-class players in a few positions (when they aren't injured) but there is daylight between them and their closest rivals. Our 1st XV has picked itself in recent seasons for a reason.
Tamati has proven that he's a safe player at S14 level, but struggles to nail down a starting position in the same jersey twice - I guess the fact that he can play anywhere from 10 out works against him. Is he really ready to step up to test-level? Mind you, Henry put Bryn Evans on the bench, so anything is possible.

Just resurrecting an actual sports thread instead of going off-topic on the manly thread:
Lelia Masaga has been called into the AB's as cover for Rudi Wulf.
Link.I'm wondering if they'll try and switch Corey Jane into the starting XV, but suspect they'll keep him on the bench as utility cover. They're running out of backs, and having a specialist wing in the reserves doesn't give you a lot of options late in the game.

And may I just say that ignorance or disinterest in this matter is sooo last century. It's a win/win outcome for goodness sake.
Oh, I'm not pleading ignorance or disinterest at all. Just that my partner was finding her spot long before I came onto the scene. Definitely not saying I can't/have no interest, just that she's had a few extra years of practice.
And now we're getting a bit too graphic, methinks.

I thought the G Spot was an urban legend -- but what the hell do I know? It all sounds like the sexual equivalent of taking the kids to the mall for school shoes. The perfect pair might exist, it might not, but you can't help but wonder if the end justifies the effort.
I believe it was Billy Connolly that once said he would only be able to find the G Spot with the aid of a wetsuit and a miners helmet.
In my experience the Graf is no myth, just easier to locate for some than others. Even your sweetheart potentially has one....so I respectfully suggest you put some time aside for exploring; it may result in many good things..
I'm not saying it can't be found, but can you really call finding the G Spot a 'manly' skill if it's something women are consistently better at? It really doesn't belong on the list.
I know I'm making myself sound like an oaf in the sack (sorry ladies, I'm taken) but no matter how good you are at finding the G Spot, your woman will probably be better (and if she isn't, why not?!).
