Robbie Deans has a few big decisions to make with regards to how he rotates his squad, and what his best 22 is. I think that the England and France games will be the toughest, and as they are also the highest ranked opponents I think the best 22 should be deployed. The matches against...

Talent is not the only deciding factor when considering a player's performance. Heart, application, improvement, attitude...the list goes on.... One good thing about this forum is that anyone is free to make their argument, and others are free to make counter arguments, and yet others are free...

Great to win against the All Blacks under any circumstances. It has been far too long coming - and it wasn't even our best performance! I agree with Gagger that when this Wallaby team is on song in attack no one can live with them. Beale was immense in attack and defence. He sparked the final...

So good points there Gnostic. But I disagree on a couple of your ratings. 3. Alexander 6 - although I agree his scrummaging needs to step up a couple of notches 5. Chisholm 5 (at least) - his ball running wasn't great, but he did do some good defending and muscled up at times in tight (more...

- can't tackle, won't tackle (a better coach won't help unless that coach can change his mindset - don't try to tell me Cooper hasn't had good enough coaches. He has). Until this changes he will be a liability and teams will take advantage. - no way you can say he won the game for the Wallabies...

3. Beale 2. Pocock 1. JO'C

Does anyone know is Hernandez will play for the Sharks? How is Pretorius going after his season on the sidelines at the Force?

The teams are in, and the news is not good for the Wallabies: JO'C is still on the wing The kicker averages just over 70% in tests (less against the ABs?) There is lots of heart, but not much by way of results. Mealamu, Carter, Kanio, Rockacoocoo are all playing. Basically, the ABs forwards...

I still think 10/12 are the areas they are a bit light in. There is also the question of fitness from injury for a couple of the squad. In any case I am looking forward to seeing how they go.

This will be a big task for Rod MacQueen.

I still think the Reds are a bunch of losers, albeit very entertaining losers. Carter should get the 12 jersey against the Rebels, but like any other position, if he doesn't perform Cross or Holmes should get a shot. As usual, we are talking about the backs when the forwards are the issue. If...

It isn't just Anesi's underwhelming form, it is the fact that he is a kiwi. Why bring in an average foreigner when a talented local could be given a shot? The local doesn't have to be young and exciting - he could play a very conservative game (like Anesi) - but at least he'd be a local (and...

That certificate is all class. Fuck, have you got some kind of laser printer at home? or did you have to use the work one on the sly?

Hawko - incadescent rage is about right on this one. WTF is Hickey thinking?! Is the state of rugby in NSW so bad that we have to persevere with Anesi AND bring in another Kiwi?! Utter madness. On the bright side, I'm actually feeling a bit better about RD as a Wallaby coach when I compare him...

Elsom could be better than Kanio, but I'd take Mealamu over Moore.
