      What’s being forgotten here,this is a much stronger Stormers pack than what was fielded against the Canes 7 days,laden with Springboks,this has been a very good performance from the Blues pack..and this time Bryant gives the penalty advantage for the dominant scrum...

              And that’s why Moulds isn’t ahead of Parsons.

                What’s the f’ing point of giving guys 2 or 3 minutes?

                I’d love to get an honest answer from a coach on this one.

                Because sitting on the bench for an entire game sucks, giving guys just a few minutes means they can blow of some steam.

                Really? I call bullshit, only thing they might blow in that time is a bloody hammy!

                    My point was Moulds has to be at least as good as Parsons at lineout To get ahead of him. He clearly isn’t.

                    I would select him.

                      Really satisfying to keep them tryless. That's a good pack we've got.

                        @Gunner that's why, you might disagree, but having guys not playing makes them annoyed/doubt themselves/think the coaches don't rate them etc. Talking to coaches that's what I've been told

                          Something to do with players getting injured more often in the last ten mins to isn’t it? Might be protecting some players.

                            @Kirwan that’s a point of view. Another would be that after 40 minutes Parsons starts walking. Any one would be better off the bench.

                                I ain’t arguing, just saying that they are picking the better thrower for an important set piece. Moulds has had years to improve and three coaches to impress.

                                  He's surely taking the piss with finally calling a not straight, and on that

                                  Black has been good Mehrts? Really?

                                    @taniwharugby sure it's going to happen some times, but is the norm for everyone to get a go. So leaving a player in the bench is not ideal, even if he only gets a couple of minutes

                                        @Gunner could be, but I'd rather have a run than not, personally

                                          Very very happy with that.

                                          Bonus point W.

                                          Blues defence was awesome - hats off to Tana as defence coach.

                                          Akira made errors but by fuck did he stand up against a big Saffa pack.

                                          Tuipulotu - cripes he was good.
