Get a grip Waylon, try not to abuse players for no reason. Or at all actually.

Anyone had a look a Bret Harris' take on things? Seems a bit harsher than most of this thread but the rest of the media seems to have been pretty quiet on QC (Quade Cooper)'s performance so far (although I think Georgina Robinson might have mentioned it)...

I'll plead ignorance here, is Duck only maligned because of Honkers last year? I can't recall any performances before that were as widely or harshly criticised. Surely he'll be ready to play out of skin in any case, should he get on.

Good points Richo, I agree that no-one seems to be talking about the scrum - seems to be enough that we didn't get blown off the park. Watching it though I did have an inkling that Bryce really pulled back when on other occasions he would have penalised our scrum. The first scrum of the match...

True. But, they did so well absorbing pressure in defence, was it simply a case of something having to give and Matfield and Roussow having a blinder at lineout time? I just hope that they don't work on the lineout all week so that's perfect and then forget about every sinlge other facet of the...

Just want to echo the sentiments in this thread. That was a bloody hard game and I was a nervous wreck afterwards - and we won! I would be pretty shattered if I was a Saffa, so I have a lot of respect for the sentiments that Paarl, Blue and a few of our other South African friends have shown...

Agreed fp. I'm sure there was an intention to play the territory to a large extent but it through some poor choices and execution it ended up being forced on them as so much of the game was played in our half, and especially in our 22 - which meant there was little option but to kick it back to...

I hereby defer my prediction until later in the week (can I do that?)

I'd just like to give my thanks to Hugh Jarse for running this event, I think it was a showpiece for G&GR and it was a pleasure to be involved. Full credit to hardtackle, he gave a 110 per cent and thoroughly deserved the win. You'd always like the win but at the end of the day I think we can be...

3. Pocock :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy 2. Horwill 1. JOC (James O'Connor)

Probably the latest I'll be near a computer til after the game so I'll get in now. Good luck boys, I think we can do it, and I really, really (understatement much) hope we do. The Boks as always will be veryy dangerous and I won't be that surprised if we go down. But I'll be supporting them...

My very heartfelt congratulations to the French. They were on fire in the first half. They wanted it, great to see. Even better to see England heading home. Allez les Bleus!

Sorry guys, should have mentioned this earlier but a selection of ten amazing questions has been fired off to Link and he is doing his utmost to wade through and answer them as we speak. Look out on the blog page soon.

Great little story there Reg, thanks for posting.

We are not the coaches of the team. We are fans looking at the various reasons Australia do and don't win matches. One of those reasons is that we don't have a very good scrum. Another one of those reasons is that on occassions our forwards are soft as shit and forget to turn up. You may have...

Sounds good to me, I'll be trying but I doubt I'll get to all. What's your display pic btw?

I believe we had 'Ask Bakkies' covered around here a while ago... http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/ask-bakkies-i-cant-see-straight/ He's been a good opponent over the years and would've probably loved him on our team. God knows we need some mongrel but maybe not all of it all at once.

Gav, on behalf of all non-Victorians on G&GR I implore you to start planning now and get as many people in gold making as much fucking noise as possible to Etihad for that Lions test. I do not want to see a fucking 'home' crowd that looks like the game's being played at Murrrayfield, Lansdowne...

I don't think they have to leave the country, just the squad. I couldn't give a toss if Dan Carter wants to watch in the stadium - sit next to Graham Henry for all I care. Do feel for Drew though.

Hahahaha love her reaction to being told she was on the same knowledge level as Growden - GOLD!
