I don't know who should be more upset? Stormers for not turning a LOT of dominance into points, especially in that first quarter; or Ospreys for actually creating all-but-one of the genuine try-scoring opportunities, but not taking one until (almost) too late. A draw at home is never a great...

I was there too. Decent atmosphere, the match was hardly a classic but I've seen worse. Os never really seemed in control despite going 10-0 up, while Scarlets looked to have everything tidily wrapped up in the 2nd half, but blew it; specifically with a long ecampment on Os' 5m line for no gain...

I agree with you in principle, but I'm not sure it's possible to start Hook at 10 now. For me it will always be his "proper position", but he's never had a decent run of games there. Moreover, game management - Hook's widely-acknowledged weakness - will be crucial against Ireland. That's why I'm...

Forgive me if this sounds like heresy, not to say a probable logistical nightmare; but with all the issues of player availability, why not play the tournament in Europe? Or alternate it between Europe and NZ? And then maybe add some extra local draw by having a one-off test between the winner...

Hate to say it, but I think ROG is still the key. If we can take him out of the game (legally, of course) then I fancy our chances. But if he's allowed to get in a few early rangefinders, then he'll peg us back all match, and we're toast. I'm completely sick of ROG and his last-minute...
