Mostly agree but my variation is; who is Robinsons back up?? Is it Alexander? New scrummaging is gonna play mindgames... Moore TPN daylight still but again new scrummaging Pyle then Simmons far more utility still gets job done, inspirational player Horwill, Douglas, Neville Mowen, do we really...

Great quote Blue, woulda been handy post the semi in RWC11! Seriously though, agree with your post apart from Horwill's option not to kick which had some merit imo merit when you are struggling to make their 22 and struggling to maintain momentum.

The nature of that loss was too comprehensive for Deans to survive into next year in my view but it would be a huge call ($) to cut Deans loose now. At best they bring forward the interviews and negotiate some kind of hand over. We seem to have a blind spot, some nasty kind of malaise where...

In lay terms Horwill needed to have been reckless or negligent in his stamping. By asserting he was just trying to find his feet and did not know AWJ was there he is claiming he had no knowledge AWJ was at risk of being hurt, it was a simple and unforseeable accident. The video we see...

reins.

bugger that he can rack off.

I thought the Chiefs were rubbish. Yes the Cru took charge and dominated possession but I was staggered by the number of unforced errors the Chiefs had, and bewildered by the series of penalties they incurred in the first 20.

I wouldn't say Deans is inarticulate so much as ineloquent. It is obvious he applies a lot of self controls when he is feeling pressure. It isn't surprising he feels pressured when every answer and comment made has the potential to be twisted by media. It IS surprising he hasn't got better at...

They're both in the squad and the job is to win. In a lineball scenario sure, go for longevity but I don't think it's lineball.

Theres been some really good posts to decode Deans thinking re McCalman and a 6 2 bench, but I still think no Kimlin is a cock up!

RC, to my eyes DC has been steadily returning to old form this year, save his goalkicking. McCaw is the best captain in rugby. He could have a broken foot and still be highly effective. Oh wait. Ben Smith is one of those rarest of players who always has that most precious of sporting...

When Deans does move on I think it will be to an NZ super rugby team, but if he has decided to call Australia home he'd have to be a shoe in for any Super Rugby coaching slot going you'd think.

Big call!

Definitely a put up or shut up year for Deans, and fair enough he has had a good crack. But something tells me even winning the Bled cup this year wouldn't be enough for many here :p

Much as I see the temptation to go for the shiny new coach, especially one such as Ewen, I have been so impressed with the progress the team has made, the style of play we are seeing, and the recruitment outcomes that I think it would be very hard to set aside Hill, Muggles and Cordingley...

Can't see Gorgeous George with them but reckon we haven't seen the last of St Sam and Bam Bam! Meanwhile Gorgeous George stands to be a man of the hour and his hour is nigh.

While I have no doubt Woodward could make a fist of ten I think it would be a complete cock up to put him there, leave him be I say.

The answer lies in how our brains operate. They are kaleidoscopic, with a lot of subconscious filters. Think about all the ads we are exposed to, but never see, but somehow spot every rugby ad! So while all of us notice those big moments at any other given time we may not see that tackle, or...
