To be honest mate - I was just kind of laughing at the irony of it all. I don't have a massive problem with it, although it's certainly put a buzz up your bonnet for some reason. It's an online forum about rugby, in a thread about the Brumbies' 2015 season of which Aquis are now a title sponsor...

Maybe the irony in the timing of this article from Rath was intentional, but when it comes to ethics and sponsorship it's hard to argue there's much good in the new title sponsor. Whether it's knocking down land to build a big casino right next to the barrier reef or helping feed the addiction...

It wasn't that the defensive system wasn't working - my point was the implementation of all of the aspects of play may have gained better results if it was gradual.

Cheika learns that test rugby, certainly isn't super rugby and shouldn't be played as such. Disappointing result, disappointing tour. Regardless of how long Cheika's had with the team - it isn't a different team. Maybe the implementation of his style could have been gradual rather dropping the...

While I like this team I can't help but feel slightly exposed in having nobody in the back 3 that can kick a ball.

We seem to be lacking some fundamentals across key positions. I like what Foley brings to a game (flat in attack, good place kicking) but he really lacks an accurate long passing game and has poor decision making in picking his runners. On top of that I'm sick of his pop-gun kicks for...

And while we're here, it looks like the chosen coach needs to be approved by the NSW Rugby Media - maybe it's worth having Georgie Robinson on the selection panel? Maybe Matt Bourke? They both represent a significant amount of credibility. Matt could be on the selection panel given he's "got...

In speaking of 'having the dressing room' - do you think Jake White is a credible candidate given the smoke bomb on the Brumbies playing group?

Good fight back from the ABs, but I think it's fair to say the best team certainly didn't win tonight. Disappointing effort from Nic White - hopefully Genia comes back to form on the spring tour, and we build more depth to go with it.

Any word on availability for next week's match? Would be good to see Power back in the 2nd row, with Fardy pushed out to 6. McCabe back in at 12. Drop Smiler completely (little to no impact in games he's played) and run a bench with Fotu and McVerry (who I thought played well in his cameo on...

Best game of super rugby I've seen in ages. Not many penalties, scrum wasn't too much of a mess and great attacking displays from both sides. Waratahs for the most part nailed the rush defence and that put huge pressure on the canes forcing errors across the park. Grey has made good progress...

Yeah I was pretty disappointed with Lilo - I know he's only coming back from injury but maybe McCabe was a better starting option, especially with Nico kicking so well at the moment. A few other players really struggled to get up, with the likes of Mogg, Alexander, Sio and Fardy having pretty...

Fards running team chat at the end of the game, wonder if he's a dark horse for captain next year? Would love that. In the last two years, Fardy has been my fav Australian player. Just a straight shooter, plays with his heart on his sleeve.

This. And the fans. Massive blow. I'm shattered. All respect has gone.

When you see him play you notice the gap between our current generation and the enigma that is George Smith. They've each got their own strengths (Gill with pilfers, Hooper with open play and Pocock for on the ball) but none of them have the all rounded game he has. Once in a lifetime player.

Mogg played himself back into contention tonight. Geez could Speight become available any sooner or what? Someone get that man a 14 jersey.

This.

Yes! How good is George Smith? He won that game for the brumbies...hands down.

You fucking beauties!

I'll give the 10 man cull a go: Nick Phipps, Dave Dennis, Ben McCalman, Mike Harris, Anthony Faainga, Jake Schatz, Peter Betham, Chris Feauai-Sautia, Rob Simmons, Bernard Foley 23 Man Squad: 1. Robbo 2. Moore 3. Slipper 4. Fardy 5. Horwill 6. MMM 7. Hooper 8. Mowen 9. Genia 10. Cooper 11...
