I can't wait for ForceFan's stats. In a game with almost all defence - we are going to find out who is really who in the zoo.

I'm backing both Cooper and Foley especially to have good games. A phrase I've heard countless times by both journalists and punters alike over the last few days on less reasonable sites than this one is that Cooper has never played well against NZ. Also that he can't handle the pressure of...

I really do not understand the contined selection of Sio. I am told that he is a more x factor player than other options at prop but I have never seen that. I think, like Palu, people expect him to be an explosive player based on the colour of his skin where as he is more of a work horse and...

Happened in 2012 with Grammar and Nudgee at Ross Oval in the final round. Probably about 8,000 people there in total and a lot of parochial support. Some even flew in from overseas. I remember the Grammar supporters were looking into the sun and had no shade. Winning was very refreshing...

This is clearly true. However, I can't ever really remember Moore putting all that experience to too much good. He is at his best a better player than what Ready has achieved as of yet but I could not count the times Moore has made poor judgements at the helm of the Wallabies. Add in the...

That anyone would consider either of these interim coaches as next years head coach is unbelievable to me. I hope it's just Wayne Smith talking out of his arse. Stiles is a fantastic set piece coach but at this level all other facets of forward play just lack so poorly. If our backs had no...

I suppose there are more New Zealanders in South East Queensland than in NZ itself so I see your point. :rolleyes:

Slipper works incredibly hard. Real pride in the jersey. Imagine being in the middle of 1800kg pushing your face into the ground every second scrum and still putting in the work rate he does.

Tend to agree. Clarke seems to me to be trying the James Brayshaw style of hyping the game up rather than the Benaud avenue of just adding insight. If we didnt find the game interesting we wouldnt have tuned in so why he persists with this League style shouting and carrying on I'll never know.

It takes so long for top athletes to improve fitness. It's not like your average joe going for a few jogs and doubling their fitness in a few months. And just a few percentage points difference looks like a massive gap in professional rugby. I think it will be next year until we see the...

Moore's throwing has really regressed.

Gill plays so much bigger than he is. I often think that he'd be an excellent option at 6 for the Wallabies if we had genuine jumpers at 4,5, and 8.

55 rucks... JESUS. I had thought Fardy had a bad game but I guess that goes to show when you're a forward you're not necessarily going to be noticed when you're playing well.

As terrible as this was, Cheika could lose every single game this international southern hemisphere season and still be safe.

I would rotate in both Slipper and Kepu. Wallabies will give away fewer penalties as they get more cohesive and Cheika is too good not to drill that shit out of them.

I am not criticising Folau in the least. I just believe he would be better used at wing. There's no reason he should touch the ball less at wing, think Digby Ioane.

Folau: fullback? OC? IC? What about wing? That's where he's played his best game for us in his debut IIRC. We have DHP who is early days but just played wing for us and was our principle kicker from the back and made some outstanding cover tackles. He also plays fullback for his state. Then...

I am still confident that we can win the remaining two games. I'm especially confident we will win Sydney which seems to be the new fortress of Australian rugby (fuck me). Arnold quite good. DHP is a player we need to balance the back three and did that very well. Kerevi showed (for the most...

I think Mcmahon will get significant game time. I believe he will ultimately surpass both Pocock and Hooper. His game is extremely well rounded and balanced compared to the two in front of him who have been the best in the world in defense and attack for 7s respectively. I think Cheika has...
