There has got to be better back row options then Dave Dennis

No it doesnt. Do Higgers, palu or mcalman add substantially more weight from number 8 then pocock? I think if the tight 5 are relying on the back 3 to get some ascendancy in the scrum there barking up the wrong tree. The scrum was significantly better with hooper and pocock there in the last...

sorry who and who?

Disagree, Pocock actually carried really well in his cameo. A cameo I might add that has demanded his inclusion. Hooper was equally as impressive in defence and with ball in hand. I would say pocock 8 and Hooper 7 is a lock in for this week and ill back it to work. I think fardy did enough to...

Slipper was far and away our best prop in 2014, this year he has been injured and below his best, he was actually pretty ordinary last night.

yeah horne is a lock in if he isn't injured the real focus area for wallabies will be offensive breakdown, scrum and taking it forward before going wide. basically the last one goes along way to be negated by playing To'omua. oh and goal kicking

Thought Chieka would have taken a lot away from that game. Good to have a fightback win for the character and morale of the team. Forwards You can talk all you want about the 10,12 dilemma but it won't matter if we can't get the scrum right, For that reason id like to see the front row we...

What a difference a month makes

Interesting backflip on higgers BH.

I want to open the head to head Speight vs AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) for a starting wing spot debate in Nth hemisphere conditions where at best we are holding our own or being a little out nudged at set piece time. For all the speed and excitment in the world that Speight offers surely AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) is a lock in in those...

EXACTLY!

From a contact perspective Horne drove his shoulder in under the rib cage and around the hips of the attacking player with head to the side. making every attempt to wrap the arms around. Curious to know how you and others would teach a kid age 10 how to tackle? We cant be teaching our kids to...

absolute rubbish post. How is tackling players off the ball a Chieka specialty. His sides play with aggession thats why they have all been successful. Cant be dissapointed in Horne when he just executed a text book tackle that as kids your taught. Skelton and latu was silly as was Jackpot.

As BH suggests above.: Horne has executed a textbook tackle, a attacking player at full speed entering a tackle and taken low will on most occasions be taken from his feet due to the opposing forces meeting and in response to the collision. The tackler (horne in this case) eithier a) purposely...

H e has made a return to Randwick 1st grade from europe but its a big step up for Pat Phibbs ;)

Am I missing something? Horne tackle resulting in the player landing on his back. barely above the horizontal is now being described as incomprehensible and stupid. fuck me thats just a good shot

well glad to move on but Id say my runs are on the board backing AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) in Wallaby gold and , It would be speight and the others who have to prove me wrong.

Yeah sorry original post was that I was suprised that a veteran of over 100 tests who I believe has been the most consitent performer fails to make the match day 23 on most of this thread in expense for players like Mitchell, speight etc.

But happy to pick a 31 year old Mitchell post a few career ending injuries, no super or test form for a few years ahead of him? Tell me how AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) form has slumped in the last two years also
