Rebel, had to chuckle. But on Henry, his desire to celebrate the moments before a try still worry me. Those dives and suchlike remind me of how he ended the Brumbies play-off hopes by being 'dispossessed' because he was doing something similar at the business end of the 2012 season. On a bigger stage he may become more demonstrative and to me that is a big big weakness. Give me a Mogg or McCabe finish any day. signed, The spoil sport Hag.
2 May 2013As one coach put it, there are two phases in Rugby, (a) Having Possession and (b) Getting possession back. As you say Gatesy, with that mindset at all times you are attacking and that makes the games fun for everyone. The best possible defence is possession, you cannot score without possession, so that, in a nutshell, is the game. Ever wonder why we get frustrated by kicks for touch made inside the opposition half, crazy stuff. I do not like the newish Laws which provide a false exclusion zone around the ruck, the 'gate' annoys me and the reasoning behind it, i.e. safety, would be addressed by more strict application of the Laws regarding shoulder charges. To be 'onside' was before, and still is, good enough.

Speight won’t dwell on Wallabies wait
Yeah? Get the pill grounded without the drama, celebrate after. What could possibly be wrong with that?
