I think he's talking about the kiwi troll, gel

It just makes me laugh now... I suspect Quade finds it fairly irrelevant now as well.

It doesn't have to happen all the time... It just has to happen every now and then to keep the defense second guessing. What we saw tonight was the same thing from Matt everytime which was "catch pass". Thats fine, not saying its bad because its really what a 10 is meant to do. BUT, if you want...

In light of the obliteration that has just occurred, I thought itd be a good idea to have a chat about what we need to do in terms of gameplay/ selections etc. etc. Going to have my say: 1) Forwards still lacking dominance at the ruck. Thought they were fine at the scrum and were ok in open...

So much promise followed by so much disappointment. Don't feel like we've played as badly as the scoreline is showing though.

Personally think Quade is making our backline look far more threatening.... Get over the small errors guys. It's going to happen if you try for the high risk high reward plays.

fuck me this is depressing.

Very deliberate attempt to keep passing short. I have a feeling this is setting up for Quade. Mowen almost playing a flyhalf role for the forwards with some impressive passing. Brumbies players all super solid albeit a bit dissapointed with Moggs kicking. Usually gets heaps more off the...

Agreed on the mogg fear. I hope he doesn't but it is a possibility... I think thats why he has Cooper on the bench because he knows he can play at 15 in defence (having played there all year anyway) and will inject himself into the line when needed. I think QUade is actually more versatile than...

"In the end, we're favouring some certain skills that we think will be handy for us at the start of the game. "Quade's still there on the bench. It doesn't mean Quade's not going to be part of the game and not have a big role." Some interesting stuff from Ewen. I don't think Quadey will be...

First time for quite a while that I have been proper excited for a Wobs Vs ABs match. Simply cannot wait to see what they have in store for us. Pressures on Link to deliver!

I think there are heaps of possibilities. He noted in that presser that alot of the backs in the 15 are utilities like AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) and JOC (James O'Connor) who can play anywhere in the backline bar 10 pretty much. Folau can play wing or fullback. Mogg can play wing or fullback. Kuridrani can play wing or 13. So I don't...

Heart says Quade but brain says To'omua so I reckon its pretty bloody awesome that theyre in the same team together. Going to be an awesome test match and I can't wait to see how they play the game and how Ewen uses his subs.

For me it depends on how much extra they are paying to get the actual naming rights. If they have to pay a SIGNIFICANT amount more than a major sponsor who doesn't get the same exposure then I'm happy because it'll be going to JONs bonus..... I mean grass roots rugby! In all seriousness...

I also think that as a reply to the haka (especially the one where they motion to cut off our heads), Horwill should reveal a hidden stuffed kiwi and chop off its head whilst the Wallabies dance around him in an Aboriginal Tribal Dance. This would satisfy me in terms of humour and as a reply...

Waltzing matilda has actually been banned by the IRB. It cannot be played in stadiums anymore.

To'omua at 10 and Quade on the bench is actually a really low risk high reward option if you think about it. Assuming he goes a 5-3 split, he will be able to replace Matt if he isn't cutting it at test level. We know he won't lose us the game because he's just too solid but we don't know whether...

Just a thought on the To'omua rumour - don't forget that Link loves his mind games. It may be a ploy to encourage preparation for Matt instead of Quade. Either way, I suspect he will have a genius plan to use all the ability he has at his disposal. Saturday can't come quick enough!

http://www.rugby.com.au/wallabies/TheTeam/WallabiesProfiles.aspx Some quality squad updating by the interwebs man at ARU HQ. Apparently Pat McCabe is actually a flyhalf by the name of Matt To'omua. Likewise, Berrick Barnes is no longer a flyhalf/ inside centre but rather a lock/blindside...
