For once I agree with David Campese who reckons that George Gregan's admission to taking No-Doz tablets before a game to improve his performance was "stupid". Too right! Yes the caffeine based tablets are legal, but the last thing I need is my two boys wanting me to run out and buy these tablets so that THEY can start taking them before a game. Sheesh! Let's just hope that George was having a blond moment! Maybe he should just have a strong latte from one of his coffee shops before he hits the paddock :) Still.... now the World Anti-Doping Agency is considering putting caffeine back on the banned list. Milo anyone?

The Bulls plan to smash and bash up front against the Waratahs in their semi this weekend. "If we can make it a bar-room brawl up front, we've got a chance," prop Richard Bands has said. Indeed. The plan has served the Bulls well in the last few games - I'd go with it as well. Boy they're big boys! The Waratahs have their work cut out for them.

The Crusaders have named their team for their semi against the Hurricanes. Centre Casey Laulala strained a hamstring at training yesterday, so he won't be lining up for the Crusaders this weekend. Caleb Ralph will cover Laulala's position, and Scott Hamilton will cover the wing position for Ralph. Confused yet? heh.. Meanwhile, the Canes have some injury issues - their team will be named some time soon I should expect.

Later!
