Super 15

Great run there from Brad Thorn. Steps one tackler, bumps another and is hauled down just short of the line. Still looks in great nick

I really do love that man. Caught a few minutes of him playing last week and his clearing out is just a thing a beauty. He thunders through the ruck treating other players like skittles and then keeps a nice long back and a wide stance which stops people pushing him back and protects the ball perfectly. Honestly one of my favourite sights in rugby.

Post match interview from him was class as well, just an all round class act.

Top 5 week 5. A welcome respite from the anemic Irish Kidney teams display over the weekend.

Bernard Foley playing 10 for the Waratahs. Must have Irish connections with that name?

Along with about 30-40% of their whole population, i do think the diaspora playing Super 15 rugby is often overlooked for possible Irish caps. There's a lack in scouting at the moment in terms of Irish eligible players available worldwide at a time when the journos love to whine about our small player pool (which I don't agree with).

Just noticed big Brad playing for the Highlanders.
Did he play in Japan at all?

I caught a few mins of that and Kirchner seemed to be playing well. He wasn't making too much headway but he was very very hungry for work and was picking good lines.
