Some of the rebels forwards are really starting to stand up. Higgers and Pyle look like rolled gold wallabies. Woodward looks like he could be a test player one day.

Pyle was the best lock on the park tonight. Can't believe deans went with simmons over him. His work-rate in the last 10 minutes was phenomenal.

I don't think Deans is biased towards the Waratahs, I just think he is a shit selector.

Godwin and F'Sautia at 12 and 13. Running off Coopers passes, with O'Connor and Folau on the wings and Beale at the back.

You can't take stats on rugby games as gospel. They are almost always inaccurate, and vary widely between source. I still look at them from time to time, but it's no substitute to watching the game, or even better, going to the game and focusing on watching a single player (to see what they do...

Lovell Rugby is good for gear. Usually cheaper than buying domestically even with shipping.

They'd have to invent a new colour for Gnostic and RedsHappy's houses.

With all do respect I think you are underestimating how discontent many people (at least where I live) are with the ARU. People in Brisbane are talking more about rugby this week than they have any time since the Super Rugby Finals in 2011. Except the excitement has been replaced with A)...

Every person I've spoken to in the last week about rugby has not had a single good thing to say about deans, the aru and the wallabies. It might be different in sydney, but up here I get the feeling the ARU are undoing a lot of the good work the QRU has done in the last couple of season...

ARU is copping a lot of flak on the Wallabies facebook page. They've had to start hiding comments in order to save face.

P.S. I'm still not okay with no Quade Cooper in the squad.

Whilst I find my self in agreement with most of the arguments you listed, it's also important to note that all of these blokes are better rugby players than I ever was. I dare say that is true for 99% of posters on this forum as well. So they can have their time under the bright lights and I'll...

biggsy you make this thread worth reading.

If Folau plays wing and Barnes fullback, then you have two 15's, and also two playmakers in barnes and JOC (James O'Connor). Still think Cooper would have been a better choice as IMO more 'play' would have been made.

Are you sure Anae doesn't play Tight Head?

1. Greg Holmes 2. James Hanson 3. Ben Daley/Albert Anae 4. Ed O'Donoghue 5. AWH 6. Quirk 7. Robinson 8. Shactz 9. Lucas 10. Cooper 11. Shipperly 12. Ant/Taps 13. F'Sautia 14. Davies/Morahan/Toua 15. Lance Bench will be interesting, especially the tight 5. Lions by 7.

Neither is a world cup year.

Saying JOC (James O'Connor) was brilliant at test level is like only watching Coopers game's in 2009 v Italy, 2010 v Ireland and then concluding he was also brilliant at test level. Players get sorted out after the honeymoon period. You can bet Hooper will be somewhat less effective this year than he was last...

I think the question on everyones mind is what team is wearing the alternate strip?

God help us if Dennis has to pack in the second row at any point. Hopefully Kepu isn't on at the time.
