Hugh are you insane? Richie has given him a huge serve, barely concealed. This so so hard for me. Quade vs the fucking Robbie and Richie Show. I think by giving them ammunition this makes me even more frustrated with QC (Quade Cooper).

I think we need to let this thread run as along as possible. It might be the last one with Quade in it.

You certaintly didn't play for Chatswood, though, cyclopath. You played for other mob. We were like the fibros and you were the silvertails. Go Stags. And remember: what goes on tour, stays on tour. Even when you're 11.

Well, this gives him a chance to lose the RWC as AllBlacks captain, so I'm pumped. Yes, I'm a small man. A small, petty man.

This sort of dissent doesn't help his team mates when they've got a job to do this week. I agree with Fatprop, sounds like he's pissed off about contract negotations. It's not a good look all around. Huge talent, but has no class and can't tackle. I won't miss him.

And by the way, the 13's last pass can be to the 12, 15 or a loose forward just as often. It doesn't always have to go side to side.

My nickname at 13 was "the last pass man." Sure, I coined it myself to explain my lack of tries, but still.

Brumbieman, excellent post. When New Zealand first introduced the Nonu/Smith combination I thought it was the wrong way around. However, it has proved to be exceedingly effective. I have posted in this thread that I like 12 JOC (James O'Connor) and 13 AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) simply because of wanting to try the novelty of picking...

OK, but I still disagree. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) might not pass, but his go-to-ground and lay-the-ball is about the best in the world.

Can't believe this didn't get some Likes. I should have made it more obvious.

AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) doesn't bend the line? Madness, Bruce. But I agree with the rest.

Was it that issue with the eggs again?

We all know who you would pick at 12, Bruce. But who is your second choice? McCabe? Can you have McCabe and AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) side by side?

Good point BPC, but it's more that that. Personally, I think you'd have to rate this collection of bodies as 100% ruck, but Dam0's argumentation raises the issue that the breakdown area is almost like a breakdown of the laws of rugby. The contact zone is the confusion zone. At what bloody...

Rancid bait, bro.

Dam0 - I'm not even going to google the laws, I'm going to do this just using my brain, OK? Two blokes are running around on a rugby pitch. One has the ball, the other one doesn't. The one who doesn't grabs the bloke who does. Now we get into some logic. (1) If they fall to the ground it's...

Have we ever - even for 5 minutes - played 12 JOC (James O'Connor) and 13 AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)? I realise that playing players in their best positions is not Robbie's forte, but this one must be the most absurd rejection of the obvious that I've ever seen (if not the other one, about switching LHPs and THPs).

By suggesting it's still a tackle (despite the evidence of multiple players driving over the ball), you are implying that it would be OK for McCaw, or any NZL player, to run around onto the RSA "side" and attempt to pick the ball up with their hands. In my opinion, if you tried that you would be...

Guys, if people are lying all over the ball, it's not a maul. Even if the ball is resting on someone's leg, it's a ruck not a maul. If you want to say it's a maul, then it's a collapsed maul and not maul. The laws of the game are complex, but let's make them more so by taking deliberately...

Dam0 - not a ruck? You've got a hide mate, telling other people they don't know the laws of the game.
