I would be very interested to see some analysis on the Defense patterns and systems used. Some comments I have heard are; - No linespeed - Some confusion - TK virtually invisible (in attack). - Hooper was seagulling. - 2 front rowers with concussion. - Good kicking tactics. What I haven't...

Is there a list out for the U16 schoolboy state teams. I heard they were announced yesterday.

My view is that we can only have 1 weak defender to hide. For this reason I have been anti KB (Kurtley Beale). Not because he is worse than others but because the current #10 and the likely reserve #10 are the players to hide. My Issue is with the headless chook defensive structure that Nathan Grey has developed.

My biggest fear for the Wallabies this year is a Nathan Grey musical chairs defense pattern. Whilst I cannot see how he can go away from what appears to be his own patented system I truly hope he has put it on the scrap heap. Defense wins world cups. I think we need to pick a team based around...

Thanks Derpus. Fair call on the defense capabilities of a 10. I guess I'm just so irritated with the work of Nathan Grey that this could be a Knee Jerk reaction. There are more layers to this; The options that i think will be considered are; Foley, Cooper, Beale and To'omua. Each of the other 3...

Here's my list: 1) Sio 2) Jordan 3) 7A's 4) Rodda 5) Simmons 6) McMahon 7) Pocock 8) Isi 9) Genia 10) To'omua 11) Izzy 12) Kerevi 13) TK 14) Koro 15) Banks 16) TPN 17) Kepu 18) Thor 19) Coleman 20) Hooper 21) Jones 22) Phipps 23) Beale Some...

I'm a big believer in the centralised player contracts. Ireland is the template we need to follow. RA needs to consider that there is a serious threat to their further existence with Twiggy presenting as a viable alternative. RA needs to act quickly to keep what little credibility they...

Some general principles that must be adhered to in next years lineups. 1) Backs to do their own defensive work. 2) Back 3 with speed plus kicking. 3) Front row that can maintain parity or dominate a scrum. 4) No Pooper / No Dempsey + Pooper. Need more traditional backrow with more line bending...

Best team should be selected. After all the work they did getting fit back in June, it would be a waste to select a mix and match team. Plus they need some revenge on the Scots. Full team and full gameplan.

Do we know who is reffing ?

I'm feeling like we are a decent chance here. From last week to this week we need to manage the scrum better. Create more width and address the defensive structure. It looked to me that we trotted out Nathan Grey's experimental prototype headless chicken structure last week. It's time to...

Need to work on our scrum and the defense. Also Foleys kicking was pretty lame.

Great match so far. Kerevi has been well covered so far. TPN playing the house down. Welsh commentator on SBS is very generous with his praise of the Wallabies.

I feel sorry for Quade. All game he is ahead of the ledger for what he added. Then he gets a yellow. As weak as it was it still puts a nail in his coffin in terms of the wallaby #10. Cheika would be thinking that he still makes too many unacceptable mistakes. Sent from my SM-G920I using...

Izzy was lucky not to get penalised for running in behind lazy runners on his kick returns. At least twice he ran towards the support players who returned in line with the advancing defenders. Clever team tactic but sure to get dismantled by the AB's.

3. TPN 2. Hodge 1. Genia

Izzy had a quiet game. The gameplan seemed to exclude him a bit. There was a lot of one out running off Genia and Foley. I was waiting for a kick pass for the whole of the second half. Was this game used to prepare for the AB's in 2 weeks time? Did the Argies double team him with their defense?

First half against the Argies they seemed to get alot of offloads in the tackle. This showed their attitude in support and their attitude to get their arms free if they were the ball carrier. In the second half this dried up after a massive run of play that lasted more than 5 minutes without a...

I'd have 6 McMahon 7 Hooper 8 Timani Then I would change Hodge to 12 Beale to 15 Izzy to 14

I like Hunt and I like the current version of Beale. Which one of them can play #10 ? Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk
