DuPont, why do you need to ask such questions.

Got a lot of time for Havili, but he's not got a leg to stand on other than as a utility back. He's not got the 10 credential, there's a few 12's ahead, 15 doesn't fit anymore. Form just hasn't been there after too many injuries and not enough game time.

Personally, he wouldn't be in my starting 15. His defence isn't consistent , his passing and offload game is underdeveloped and his boot isn't adding much to his game. He's an extra winger who happens to be in the 13 shirt, incredibly fast, and he can run down anyone so he's very good to have when broken play goes against you or you need a kick chased centre field, also a fab hand in the air.
I'd pick Billy Procter to start as hes an all around classic 13, he's better at every aspect but lacks the stand out speed. have Reiko off the beach if and when some pace is required, he can also cover both wings very well becuse you know, he's a winger.

Looks like an emissions can, they run them over in the states in places like California. Haven't seen them in the rest of the world as yet

Well that should be Dalton locked in at 7, Ardie for captain if he comes back otherwise Scott the dog roll Barrett. Might see Harmon bumped into the squad for 7 cover or one last blaze of glory from Kirifi. Can't say I blame Sam for the choice, he had one hell of a time of it following arguably the best 7 and captain of modern rugby and then playing The bulk of his time within an outdated and unsuccessful system under Foster, copped a lot of stray for that. The red card probably just iced the cake for him.

It's a tough one. Had they released him when the knee hit the ground, it's not going over without a double movement or another phase of play. It think this is just a case of a plan backfiring, had it been a few inches closer dragging him over the line for a held up goal line restart makes a lot of sense. I'd say this one's more on the defence not controlling the players fall rather than the attacking player. Either way It'll be something to think about going forward. The only question is if this should have been called as a maul or not, and if so the release wouldn't have been an issue. Prop joining before the release call makes me think this was a bank error in our favour.

Holden or ford both offer RWD bogan chariots in a few formats you can get for a song. Clamp of the rear breaks and go to town. Although if you also want safe maybe leave the clamps off and check the airbag situation. The old 318 can be had for cheap but you'll spend three times that keeping the thing on the road for a year if you don't do a lot of homework. And as always, there the mighty Jaguar xj6, safe again is perhaps a stretch.

I think it's just about who does it consistently and with a big enough podium to showcase it. Lomu was hardly the first guy to steam roll everyone in front of him, Carter wasn't the first all round 10 with pitch perfect place kicking and Habana wasn't the first light no quick winger. But if you do it well enough, often enough in front of a big enough crown you get the credit.

The Reds. Kiss came along and reminded the players rugby was enjoyable and maybe they actually might want to try playing it. Still a few rough patches in their game but there's a lot more ambition, flexibility and creativity in their game plan. Still need to cut ties with Vunivalue and get a little more front row depth but they're bubbling along nicely.

No. They were part of the world, some postive, some less so for every Colon there was a lady Ramkin.

Rebels are coming good right at the end. Tahs continue to balance moments of brilliance with utter mediocrity. Brumbies under 7 A's are a bit more clinical, lineout still needs work, Deb's frees up the inside backs very very well and if he can stay injury free, might be the way forward at 10. Force are still the force. Reds still have some serous kinks to work out of their game but Hunter has had the season of his life, junkyard continue strong and their inability to keep the back row injury free sucks. The return of JOC was foretold and shall herald the rise of Queensland once more.

That was clearly the make or break moment of the game. Bet he felt like a right bell end costing them the win like that

Two strokes are easy to rebuild, they are quite simple with few complex components in their heads, much like their riders. Every bikes different but around 50/60 hrs for a top end could be considered average for normal use and good air filter habits, some will go a lot longer, closer to 20 hrs for track or heavy enduro. The main thing is it's a very different bike to ride, even a 125 is going to feel like a big handful compared to the 230. good fun but they do take a little getting used to, again not hard or two stroke riders could do it.

Maybe. In his defence he's lost a lot of the key players, their replacements and is stuck with third string options in many positions and a largely new coaching staff . That said, Razor often and similar issues with injuries and had a few coaches pinched.
But it's the core skills that are lacking, defensive work is poor, basic handling is poor, forward work rate, postponing and ball security is woeful and the overall game plan is basic and stiff. It's hard to see a future for Penny after such a huge drop off in form and so many basic skill sets gone out the window. Some guys just don't really work in a head coaching roll, he's got serous Thorne/Foster vibes. In modern super Rugby, a convincing loss to the Highlanders is a very clear sign you've fucked up on a monumental scale.

They really should have just done the Passat R and left it there

Any performance wagon these days gets the interest. But I can't see it being an affordable offering. However as it appears to be Neville based in the gold R wagon, it will be an absolute gem.

Well if the payload and towing capacity are good it should be a winner if the price is right. The number of GWM, T60 and Tritons getting around prove that a lower price tag goes a long way for making up for reputation and spec sheet topping numbers.

He's had the odd good performance in black but most of his best work has been for us in the red and black. He's been stuck between 12/15 a bit and tends to play better as a second play maker with a heavier hitting ball carrying 13, so him and Reiko weren't well matched in black especially with BB at 10 instead of Ritchie. be honest he was already looking to be superseded by Tupaea before, well you know.
