im happy enough with rodda's progress...he's still relatively new to test rugby, he should improve with a bit of experience

haven't read the other comments but thought i'd come on to give my general thoughts:- 1. i thought the wallabies left a lot to be desired. at times lacklust, but nevertheless a win against the boks is nothing to sniff at and something they didnt manage last year. considering the loss of crucial...

ha! I'll never change it

I hope those To'omua rumors are true.. looking at the likely squad members, it's probably the best stock of forwards we've ever taken to a world cup. In particulars it's nice to see us finally have quality depth in the tight five...ironically the weak link looks to be the halves, traditionally an...

the only change i would have been keen on would have been an extra back...2 backs on the bench is a bit risky for my liking..Hodge is a really good option to cover the whole backline, but im not sure we need all of Simmons/Tui/Samu...Tui and Samu are a bit similar imo, but i do like the idea of...

picked it...the right call i think...hoping to see Timu make more of an impact this week

Just thought i'd come on to give my thoughts on the team. Overall I really like the team. The forward pack looks like a nice mix. a fair bit of pressure on BPA at hooker, cause i think the lineout could be a weakness if he doesnt throw perfectly...but otherwise im hopeful we can compete well in...

pretty pumped for this one. I get a horrible feeling there is some squad members that are about to get seriously exposed. I actually thought Hanigan played pretty well last week, but ffs the guy is no world beater. Still can't work out why Fardy is so far out of favour. I'd actually pick...

Not sure if this is the right thread to post this on but thought this might be as good as any. I've been thinking a lot about how Aus rugby can change its fortunes in the competitive sports market we have. I would think growing the game in Australia will take a lot of work at all levels, but...

too early to know whether this team will be any good, but i like what i saw from this game. The team looks much more well rounded than previous years. The most positive thing was to see the younger players in the squad stand out. Thought the likes of Korcyck, Tuttle, Paiaaua and Perese really...

To be fair I thought promotion and marketing wise they did some things right. I really liked the idea of throwing in some of the stars of yesteryear and attendance numbers look pretty decent given the temperatures we've had. the 7s tour took a few years to build up a good following so its not a...

Thought I come on and register my thoughts on the tournament. I must say I've really enjoyed the comp and I hope it returns next year. Obviously the heat has been trying on the players and the attendance numbers (it's seriously way too hot to spend a day anywhere other than directly in front of...

3. Pocock 2. Genia 1. Morahan HM: Foley, Kuridrani , Simmons

Yeh that lineout knock on was fairly obvious. I was yelling at the TV. I think that's the nature of test rugby. referees are gun shy in the final moment of the game and I don't mind that.

Maybe rewatch the whole game. the welsh held back on blowing penalties against the French several times at the ruck. plus I thought Pocock's steal was legal. I think the ref wasn't quite sure whether it was a legal steal and he didn't to blow the whistle to either side. He was certainly on his...

Haha. no one has anything bad to say about Foley, Waratah fan still has a go at the forum for being bias. wtf? I cant remember reading much criticism of foley at all over the last 3 weeks. the forum has been for the most part unanimous in its praise for his play. I must be missing something.

Probably not enough has been said about the quality of some of the French play. They're a rocks and diamonds team. Sometimes they offer nothing in attack and other times they look really dangerous with ball in hand. I feel like they showed more of the latter today. They look like a team on the...

Yeh i cant agree with the suggestion that "france should have won it by 10". If anything the wallabies probably should have closed out the game with about 20 minutes to go but just got sloppy and left the door ajar for the french. In all of the circumstances, the fact that it was largely a 2nd...

It wasnt specifically directed at you. Someone had a go at me a few weeks ago after i said that speight should be dropped after the welsh game. He's just not living up to my high expectations of him. Agree with comments on the podcast that he looks a bit small (?) Is it possible he's a few kilos...

Im surprised that some poster continue to come to speights defence i thought he was average again. Id have to rewatch the game to see whether sefu was any better though. There definitely appeared to be somw defensive problems out wide. Good game from mozza. Id consider playing him at wing next...
