Question to all you former-backs: What impact do you feel Andrew Johns has had with his coaching of England's back line?

Hmmm, interesting selections, Reg. Should result in the following score: England 40 plus ...... Australia 10!!!

Mr Jarse, I notice that you are "on duty" tonight. FYI, I have worn two different pairs of "LRJs" during the last two test matches. Only one other pair left. Possible incineration of the three said garments, if success is not achieved this Saturday! Cheers.

Hi Scrubber, look between each players scapulars (shoulder blades), and you will clearly see a device inserted into a "pocket' in their jerseys!!

Oranges, your ability to accept what happened in the second test is equal to your knowledge of NSW Central Northern Rugby .... very poor! Carter gave away no penalties, he was at most of the rucks to protect his players from the pilfering Poms, whilst giving his half-back protection, he was the...

Muzza, FYI, it's called "short term memory loss"!

Seb V, by way of comparison, could you remind us of your win/loss ratio when you were a Wallaby?!!

Correction; "In a sub-standard stadium"! MHCS, Rugby is not soccer, Rugby is not AFL, Rugby is not League. The eight blokes up front require a stable base upon which to perform their 'craft'!

Riptide, it was in the first 20 mins last week too!!

A couple of reds with dinner, but baby-sitting our 5 year-old Grand Daughter, so we have to be "on the ball", tonight!

Loved the ref's comment: "I have a tremendous amount of sympathy for you guys having to scrum on a pitch of this quality"!! Sir, we are a "Third World Rugby-Pitch Country"!!

England #6, Sir!

We will never be #1 whilst Australian Capital cities keep dishing up shit fields like this and Suncorp Stadium!!

Wow, 300th "home test" for the Wallabies!!

The test match tonight is an example of why we are all "Rugby Tragics". "Non-believers" just don't understand the history, the culture, or the 'contest' that goes with "the game they play in heaven"!! Furthermore, unless you've played from #1 to #8, you don't fully understand some of what you...

Geeze Scrubber, as much as we would all like that to happen, (as another 'former second rower'), I think "tragic's" post #419 is more realistic!! I just said to Mrs Doug that those posting tonight are starting to "warm to the match", and are becoming less argumentative!! That must encourage any...

Just checked the odds on sportsbet.com.au: Wallabies $1-75, England $2-10!!

Good to read George Smith's comments re him not playing for the Wallabies again, in this morning's G&GR email. The role of player/'assistant coach'?/mentor here at the Reds next year should keep him "occupied"!

Has tomorrow's bench been "trimmed" yet?

Thanks Tex, I appreciate that. Coincidentally, Saturday sees the 60th anniversary celebrations for the Quirindi Rugby Club, as the "Lions" host the Moree "Bulls", [former club of current Deputy Prime Minister, Barnaby Joyce]! (Sadly, Mrs Doug and I wont be there celebrating with our many QRUFC...
