SA is blessed with sooo many quality loose forwards.
I am very tempted to make it a very early night tonight!
Have slept only in bits and pieces lately…
@ Scrumdown:
Even our center stocks are looking better. Things are on the up.

Yup.
Just need to bind it all together effectively.
Goodnight all.
Off to Huntex early tomorrow to look for a weapon for the missus, then work in the afternoon.
GBS please mail those notebook specs so that I can explain to the farmers.
So what happened next and what do you think should have happened? Will be interested to get some opinions from here. Here is a link to what I described briefly on Friday night while chatting on the Cheetahs v Sunwolves thread about the Leinster v Edinburgh game:
You may or may not be surprised to read that between the TMO and ref they decided the outcome of that would be a penalty to Edinburgh…. Fergus McFadden the Leinster player (in blue) went down in a heap after that while Hoyland was down for very short time then jumped and carried on playing, unfortunately the brief delay was just long enough for Leinster to regroup in defence and so he didn’t get far.
157 @ Bullscot:
Remember the video clip in the link has been slowed down quite a bit.
Here is a better clip of the incident I referred in previous 2 comments, not sure it is clear to anyone watching if for the first time but McFadden was the last defender so if he committed an offence that warranted a penalty to be given by the ref then surely there is an argument for a penalty try to be given, I know it is still quite a way from the tryline but looking at the build up shows great running by Hoyland and if he hadn’t been taken down then have no doubt in my mind he would have gone in under the posts. If the try had been given Edinburgh would at least have come away with 2 bonus points from the match, 1 for losing by less than 7 and 1 for scoring 4 tries, who knows if they were 4 points closer they may have even just about been able to push for a win.

He is the in-form flyhalf with the complete game
I hope AC can keep him motivated, the last time he played for him at the Stormers ruined his self confidence
@ Bullscot:
@157 Mc Fadden got a 3 week ban so he misses Leinster’s last two league games and their probable semi final as the ban is until after Sunday 22nd May
