The Blues tactic of no kicking and a game of keepings off should have been a pilfering number 7's dream yet Gill was fairly quiet on that front. Smith and Pocock would have had a field day..

Last good game at test level? I do recall him putting guys in holes for tries/near tries in his 3 tests this year which is what he is there for, Kurtley has done this once(off a set move).I agree with the comment that Kurtley looks much better in space, get him back to FB. Quades test form...

Slim I agree 100% with you that Lilo would be the man at 12(or Benny Tapuai) but unfortunately his leg is snapped in half. I just find your new insight into what a 12 should actually do quite amusing after your undying love for(the undoubtedly lionhearted)out of position Pat Mccabe. Richo you...

So Slim,Father of Pat McCabe,now pronounces that we need an inside centre that can run,something that Pat does,very well,at a brick wall.I despair. Only way we will beat the ABs and Saffas ,as has always been the case ,is by scoring more tries than them. We need Quade at 10,barnes at 12 and AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)...

I think Scadenfreude must be around 16 years old.Campo in his day was the superstar of world rugby, much like Carter and McCaw today ,you know? I have spoken to All Blacks that played against him.Their game plan would be based on nullifying him. Not bad for a winger from Queanbeyan who...

Did you watch the game? Our number 9 kicked it away 15 times.. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) made around 20 tackles,not exactly MIA..

tbh would be happy with Pat at fullback this week,solid last line,good under the high ball and out of the way to not fuck up the attack.Christ that try last week was watching a rabbit in headlights,any inside back worth his salt would have flicked it straight over AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) to the unmarked KB (Kurtley Beale),instead...

Worked a treat in Brisbane

I meet Gatland in 96 whilst on a brief playing stint in Stockholm.He had just secured his first overseas gig coaching Connacht and had brought them over for a pre season trip to play our club and the Swedish national side.I thought then what a masterstroke,boys on the drink and (trying)...

Quade is not that bad that we need 2 playmakers.But it would help if the player next to him could kick,pass,make a break,step or perhaps crash over the gain line, dragging a few defenders with him. Unfortunately he does none of these things.He runs upright and gets smashed, or worse,is held...

Strangely,I find myself agreeing with Slim. JON should be on bended knee begging George.He's still got it. Also played a bit of 10 and 12 for Toulon this year..

Also made a fantastic try saver on the Beast this year in S.A. He is what he is and I don't understand the ill feeling towards him. A young kid with incredible talent that makes you want to turn on the telly and watch. Under McKenzie he matured incredibly this year and played horses for...

The best analysis I have read of Quades defensive flaws. What annoys me most are the ''gutless'' calls. He plays flat in attack,runs straight at the defence and throws the flat pass and gets SMASHED. Time and time again. Most c.... on internet forums are fat washed up forwards who think...

And I hope you and your family enjoy the whole experience,you sound like you are one of the good guys(what a wanky thing to say I'm sorry,have been dirnking)

Teach,Have just been on the blower with my Kiwi friends and they all confirmed that indeed Stu Wilson has been on the piss since his (limited) glory days and they are all mightily embarrassed about anything that comes out of his mouth.Also they say it has all been a great event and taken the...

Another Pat apologist?? Yes he tackles well but for the sake of a balanced team we would be much better off without him.

Gagger I am obviously a Newbie world cup blow in but what a great post. I have lived in the UK for 20 years and have the same rugby experience as you. With an English wife and half English kids I also dread the fussball thing. The best friends I have made over here are Kiwis who have all...

Aye,you taught the boy to tackle,I'll give you that and you cannot fault his ticker.Just a shame he runs like an ostrich,can't pass,kick,sidestep,swerve,set up a supporting player,take the pressure of his fly half.Etc.You know,the stuff you would like an inside centre to do.

Slim are you Pat McCabes Dad? Constantly defending the indefensible.

Obviously the forwards failed to turn up and no more needs to be said about that. Hopefully the end of Mccalman.Out of position yes but even in position it is patently obvious he is not up to it at this level.He spent a good deal of the year on the bench at the Force so not considered a standout...
