G'day Mr J,

An interesting game coming up come Saturday. If the Tahs play as they did against the Bulls they are going to get done. The game against the Bulls was quite disjointed and in fairness to both teams their GP's was non existant. If the Tahs are going to play defensively as they did against the Bulls then they are in for a long night.

In trying to analize the teams over the comp I would suggest the Tahs have left their form behind in previous games whereas Robbie Deans being the crafty ole coach that he is has only been flogging his players just enough to get them to the business end of the competition when the going gets tough....this was evident mid-way through the second half against the Canes when he started to sub his better players. If you've followed S12 for some years you would know this appears to be a Deans trait, slow starters hard finishers.

Great to see your coming to the land of milk, honey and rugby players....shame that gods not going to help you though. Hope the Chch crowd look after ya an fill ya fulla Kiwi grog.

Cheers.
