Well I've never heard of this young man before but he appears to be a fairly good player with plenty of potential. Should be interesting to see how he copes at Super 12 level, and as currently predicted, on the international stage.

To early to tell if he will cut it at the top let alone be a star..


Voltman who was the All Black in that court case whos name wasn't allowed to be published in the papers over here?

Wasn't a certain number 15 was it?

No, it wasn't. I can't believe you haven't heard who it was. Anyway, I'm not sure where this forum is based, so I won't say who it is on here either...

Fair enough.. Yea I can't believe I never found out either.. I just never bothered to find out I spose

I know who it is, I know who it is!!

Not a truly massive name, but you'd have heard of him. Actually rather shocking when poor old Darryl Tuffey is hauled over the coals for having consensual *** this charmer has his name permanently suppressed (in NZ at least) after clocking his 5 month-pregnant missus.

Christmas Comes Early

Big D1ck Hill's back! Absolute must for The Lions' 44 (& starting 15 IMO). I'm starting to think SCW's back-row is going to have a very familiar look to it... From the Beeb's website:

If I'm feeling brave I'll post my 44 & see how close I get to Sir Clive.

Unfortunately, according to an NZ court of law, he does have the right to name supression - and, if this website is based in NZ, James could get in big trouble of one of us wrote his name on here.

So don't push the envelope too far.

I don't wanna drop the site in it, so can't name the guilty party, but it's not him.

Dam it. I have been told who it is in the past as well.. I just forgot it and now it is annoying me. Is there anyway someone can tell me who it is without doing so through this web site?

They don't work on here anymore...

Several Aussie newspapers had his name when the court case was going on.

16 Englishmen, 14 Welshmen, 9 Irishmen & 5 Scots. I'd have guessed at more English & Irish before the 6N & far fewer Welsh.

The only two players I haven’t considered are Trevor Woodman (whose career is seemingly over with his contract being cancelled) & Phil Vickery who, if considered, I would take over Adam Jones. I don’t think he’ll recover in time tho.

A few calls are marginal; I have a suspicion that SCW may take Will Greenwood still &, if he does, Tom Shanklin may miss out which would be a huge injustice as he’s been the best (Lions qualified) centre in the 6N. ****bain might be considered a bit too lightweight so Sir Clive may opt for Ben Kay & I retain a nagging doubt that he may also take Cohen.

I think on tours players who cover more than one position will be favoured: on this basis I’ve only picked 3 specialist fly-halves as Henson, Barkley & Patterson could all play there (& have in test Rugby). Matt Stevens also selected on this basis as he can play loose head or tight head, whilst Owen & Corry can also play lock & Shane Horgan can play centre.

I’m aiming for at least 35/44!

Good week of super 12 with a shock result of the crusaders losing to the bulls, the bulls really have a lot of potential, if they were consistant, they could be top 4 contenders, but they cant seem to do much away from home.

The Blues are making a good recovery after that horror performance vs the crusaders, I feel if we make the semis we can win it.

The brumbies are stuggling especially without larkham.

I've been impressed with the highlanders lately

Btw I know who the wife beating assault case was on, and once again it has been blown out of proportion. this is what actually happened.

His wife was out naked on the streets at night, all he did was bring her back in, he did not hit her, but he forcefully bought her back in.
I don't see much wrong with that. I would have done the same thing.

Remove the initials, psxpro - no need to get Cricketweb in trouble.

Good man.

What happened to my Crusaders this round? big slip up against the Bulls. Although it's not unusual for the Crusaders to stuff up against the weaker opposition.

Yeah i've also been extremely impressed with the Highlanders. They're clearly the least talented side in NZ but they're making up for that with great commitment & pride for the Otago jersey.
Whatever Greg Cooper is feeding them at night seems to be working.
