IF, and I am not sure that if we win we move back to 2nd, I don't believe we deserve it. Given the way we have played in the last twelve months I can not understand how we could be second on the rankings. We have scaped through by the skin of our teeth on so many occassions (and lost to...

I just wish players didn't do this sort of crap. Really leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Doesn't matter who, or from where, it is not right and it doesn't deserve to be part of our game. The saddest part is:- the silence from those who should be denouncing rather than excusing. Nobody...

These are the IRB rankings as at 26/11/12. There are only two games played this weekend NZ v Eng and Aus v Wales, and then the rankings are set for RWC 2015. The outcome of the first match is irrelevant, neither team would change position. The other match however is significant. If Wales...

Oh come on Sully, please be realistic. He will only get seven weeks :confused:

Point taken IITW, if I am going to criticise others for their posts I should at least maintain my own standards. I apologise for the sweeping generalisation. I will try to list my grievences in a more coherent manner. RDs reappoint before the RWC with no due process, ratified by the board...

And just to clarify, I have met a lot of Wobs supporters who I would classify as "obnoxious pricks". We all have our share of wankers, but it seems that a larger number of kiwi fans here in Brisbane fall into this category. Only my observation.

Whilst I think that Scarfman's comments are phrased a bit too broad brushed, I must say there are times I have felt intimidated by kiwi fans. Not every time I have been to matches, but enough to be very wary. You can pick the difference between true supporters and those who turn up at a game...

Troll. You want to state facts, be my guest. You want to allude to what someone said on twitter and use that as justification for once again slagging of someone, even telling us what he might be doing, and then state that he has no passion for the Wobs based on your idea of what he would be...

I no longer believe the ARU is capable of running a rigorous anything! Until we get an Independant Commision nothing will change. How can it? the same people who have allowed our game to be dragged down to its current depths the way they have are not going to change overnight.

Just thought I would post this again highlighting what I thought were valid and to some degree insightful comments. If you were to view this from a totally unbiased point of view, it would appear to be someone who is trying to improve Aus rugby. Whether his approach and delivery is...

Aah the difference between being able to play rugby at an international level and the ability to think before you speak. Am I really old or does it seem that arrogance is now seen as a virtue? No i'll answer that, yes i'm really old :(

Holy shit! that's the most pertinent post I've seen on this entire thread o_O

I am disgusted. Once again Aus rugby is in turmoil. Once again we have politics as the main game rather than rugby. Who made this decision? No QC (Quade Cooper) is not bigger than the game, but neither is the board, and neither is RD. How many people think QC (Quade Cooper) was wrong for the way he went about...

I rate losing to England as one of the worst experiences imaginable, I abhor the thought of it. But if it means that Aus rugby gets turned on its head because of that lose, then so be it. I do not want us to lose, but if that is the precusor to an absolute shakeup in our beloved game at all...

I understand your sentiment Scoey, and yes the number of prominent members who abstained from posting was certainly interesting. My real reason for posting these two threads is to try to keep the discussions in one (two) places. It seems that a lot of other threads seem to degenerate into 'I...

Totally disagree :) This is a discussion with Robbie out of the picture, so it is looking forward not back. Let's see how it progresses. As for me, I place the Wobbs over the Reds and fervently hope Link gets the job.

Given the results of the "Should Deans go?" thread, who would you choose to step up as our national coach?

So had I have gotten my shit together and learnt how to post a "poll", I could have had actual numbers, but in summary:- It is not so much a general concensus, more an almost unanimous verdict. Very interesting to see the amount of support for Link. Seems a change is in the wind.

As a general observation :- Gym Instructor: 'What do you want to achieve?' Client: 'General fitness" Gym Instructor: "Sorry I only make specific muscles look good, it's all about you're abs and you're pecks'
