Or more to the point, who does he want to win? :)

Samo has more metres sideways than upfield so far. Admittedly I'm no Samo fan but if he won't run straight there ain't no point in picking him.

Hard to know who to cheer for. It would be good to see the Wobs go well to prove a point to Quade and his fans. Hard to see that happening though. Hopefully its a reasonable game. Probably my main interest will be in watching Rolland. I always have mixed emotions when I see him in the...

If that is indeed what has set this off then Quade is not someone you would want around in a representative team. I would be dollars to donuts that there were some very harsh words spoken by All Black management to the team after both Bledisloe Cup games. Teams that are happy with squeaking...

What did he say exactly? That he thought about taking him off but decided against it? That is a pretty mild putting of the boot from a coach really, and hardly worth getting all upset over. If Quade can't handle that sort of criticism then he needs to harden up.

$7.00 would indeed be worth a punt. Unfortunately I am only seeing $5.50 at the TAB here. https://www.tab.co.nz/sport/#56 At $5.50 I don't think it is quite enough.

I still have my doubts about Messam. He played very well for the Chiefs and against Ireland, and he made a big impact off the bench against Argentina, but I think he still makes a lot of dumb plays and silly mistakes against the bigger teams. It's probably a bit harsh to call him a flat track...

That wasn't the one I was expecting you to put in bold :D I know Australia has had some issues with Scotland lately, but they have been our bunnies for a long time and I think a big part of the problem is that deep down they don't believe they can win. Of slight concern for me is that I...

I would not be unopposed to this being tried, but I hardly think La Plata against a fired up Pumas team is the place. Brisbane, Edinburgh or Rome would be more appropriate places to try it out.

I suspect you might have been reading a bit too much Freud.

For anyone who is sitting around with not much to do, there is a cracker of a game on right now. Counties v Auckland should be an amazing game with lots of movement. They are both in pretty good form at the moment and score lots of tries.

I have seen this practice before. I guess they want to remind the reader it is a quote, but don't want to make it look like it is a series of quotes. Dunno if it is right or wrong but it is not uncommon.

For me the comment that sums the whole situation is this one from Quade: For whatever reason he believes that the team should revolve around him and should adapt to his style rather than he adapt to the team's style. For mine, that is the worst possible attitude a player can have, and I...

What did he say?

Normally I agree with you on these sorts of things but I can't say I share your views here. I think QC (Quade Cooper)'s value to the ARU has dimished markedly since the last negotiation phase, and on just about every level. * His form has been worse, and he has shown on numerous occasions that he can't...

^^^ Dunno if that is anything more than simple coach-speak. I can't imagine any coach saying anything different. He is hardly going to say that the tweets affected the squad, or that Quade is finished in the Wallabies. Deans isn't silly, he knows there is a politic way of dealing with...

I have to say that this was my reaction too. Just taking the losses against NZ in isolation I certainly wouldn't say that the problem was a lack of adventure. On the contrary, I can remember a few times where the Wallabies tried to play too much rugby in their own territory. I can also...

If he does go to league, the Kiwis would be his best chance at international football. Probably he would be more interested in playing State of Origin though.

And yet still inevitable. No matter what the systems and checks you employ there will always be the odd cock up. Especially when refs/umpires move up each level and deal with different pressures.

If that is your attitude and you don't care whether what you think is correct or not then I can have no quarrel with you. There is nothing wrong with being the sort of fan who just watches the TV glibly and enjoys the spectacle. Unless and until you start telling someone who does care that...
