Inside Rugby Tonight

[Thequeerone]

A few of us watch Inside Rugby with some amazement as TWF seems to cover most of the features throughout this week

This is tongue in cheek - but my guess at the script for the show tonight:

1: Brumbies V Force - they will tip Brumbies to win
re-signing of chisholm etc..
end of Cannons career - a round up of the highlights
Jak and Gitts ex brumbies how daft are they to have joined us - Bam Bam won't get a mention
Force Fans travelling to Camberra

2: Reds - general improvement - Eddie praised his front row - Reds need money

3:Tahs needs bums on seats - Elsom to captain them this week - will it make a difference ?

4: Gary Flowers ARU / state of Wallabies

5: Crusader homage begins

Like I said tongue in cheek what else have we been talking about this week ?

My god, they DID talk about Cannon's retirement!... *rolls eyes*


I'm glad you said this is tongue in cheek. Fancy talking about what made the news this week.

On a more serious note, Kafe had a full blown, and much deserved, swipe at Pelesasa's failings in the last couple of matches in defence.
While it was aimed at the Force in general, the majority of the examples were of Pelesasa slacking off be staying close to the breakdown rather than covering wider where his pace in defence could have tightened up the Chiefs, rather than leaving it to slower tight forwards.
In one five minute segment Kafe powerfully demonstrated what I have been trying to say for the whole season, Pelesasa is an "Ioane".
While he offers options in attack he is sub standard in defence and is often the catalyst for turn over ball.
He is an impact player, the experiment is complete, return Staniforth to #12 for Giteau at #10 or #13 with Hilgendorf at #10.
Staniforth offered more in fifteen minutes against the Chiefs than Pelesasa gave in two matches.

# 10- Giteau
# 12- Staniforth
# 13- Cross

# 10- Hilgendorf
# 12- Giteau
# 13- Staniforth

Those two should are my prefer #10-13

I would go for your second selection as should our prefer "Premiership" combination Shaun
