Pretty exciting friendly after the all blacks forfeited by not providing a field with lights for the start time. Unfortunately I was watching it hours later, recorded, after an obsessional evening of not seeing scores and my recording ended 10 minutes before full time. Man was I pissed...

The only players that understood the wallabies defensive setup were wearing black.

I like that our forwards are passing the ball around in our quarter and Quade cooper is crash balling

3. Hooper 2. Kepu 1. Timani

If you want to try something different: Lets go all-out Deans and put Hodge at 10, play narrow with the ball only getting as far as Kerevei at 12 and rely on Kuridrani etc to make lots of tackles and chase lots of kicks. Folau and Kuridrani can run off Kerevei. Hodge can kick goals. Maybe we...

Foley had a good game, though his combination with Strauss needs some work. I think he skipped him a couple of times.

Yep Just wasted a couple of hours at the Roar's preseason game a couple of suburbs away at Newmarket. The rain was very heavy and the field underwater - game called off Looks like another line of storms will hit in the next half hour or so. Might be packing the rain gear tonight

I like that we will get to see 10. Cooper 12. Foley If they can keep it together defensively it could be pretty handy.

I will have to show that ad to my 9 yr old, he dresses this way already and it may increase his interest in the wallabies. Unfortunately he is a fairweather fan and I'm up against it when shouting obscenities at performances like last week.

Time to go a bit left field, and fight Ioane with Ioane 1. Slipper 2. TPN 3. Kepu 4. Douglas 5. Mumm 6. Fardy 7. Hooper 8. Pocock (C) 9. Genia 10. Cooper 11. DHP 12. Kerevi 13. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 14. Ioane 15. Folau 16. Moore 17. Sio 18. Alaatoa 19. Coleman 20. Timani 21. Phipps 22. Foley 23. Hodge

I don't care about the result, or even the selections as long as they lead to effort and some sort of shape and composure in how they play the game this week.

Yep that would be a Hail Mary of epic proportions.

Get?

Good. Tough love. One thing about Cheika is that he gets players to contend. Simmons needs to step up and doing this now might pay off in TRC.

There must be another backrower in the country we should add - Hodgo? HOILES! Way to piss Eddie off!

It must be time to bring out the chip and chase. Wow did I really say that?

Jim Carmichael is apparently clearing his desk. Phil Lutton reports

This is the problem for the Reds. No one cares anymore.

Yep Slipper's decision making was ordinary. There was space behind the rapidly advancing Scottish line and I thought he should have chipped and chased. Glory!!!!
