'tahs named for Force Match

[SinBin]

Interesting to note that baring the Brumbies (and the Force..) , all the Tahs tough games are at home and they don't even have to play the Chiefs FFS.. Their away games are against "lesser" teams eg, Cheetahs, Lions (the away game against the Force is a "tough" game)

I would love to know how SANZAR work out the S15 draw. I know that all franchises have a say during its development but some must have more sway than others. The 'minnows' will always have less influence than the 'big hitters' because they don't bring in as much money. Maybe I have just answered my own question - it's all about da money!

[SinBin]

Agreed re the moola. Maybe defending champions get even more sway..

The draw is supposed to balance itself out over the years of the TV agreement in terms of not playing 1 side from NZ and SA and playing teams home and away.

All that SANZAR would have work out is the order in which the teams would play with 15 sides travelling across the southern hemisphere.

I did read once the draw was done by a Canadian stats company... What I find difficult we have only ever had 2 home games to start a season... We always get the 1st and last games away... Would have ben nice for our 10thseason a home start..

You are spending a lot of time debunking conspiracy theories lately. Better get that tin hat repaired.

Also don't forget about that time - at band camp - where we were getting this new stand built so requested the first few games away.

I don't mind the draw this year, only one trip to New Zealand and back.

Force paying $7.50 to win by 1-12.

Anyone know where you can download replays of games? (Don't have fox) I have my nieces 1st birthday today so will only catch first 20 mins.

Would like to watch when I get home and avoid result. Cheers

Not surprised with Marcel Brache throwing a try away in the first 10 minutes!

F@CK!!! The fat bastard has tried to pull down every scrum so far. Then gets the first penalty. And look at the FUCKING result!!!

Gotta love the string of excuses for the Waratahs from the FoxSports commentators.
Go you Force and take advantage of the 1-man advantage at the start of the 2nd half.
Bring it on home!!
Hope good news re Pek!!
