That's daft. At 23 - 3 points down, you're three converted tries from victory and that's assuming the other side scores 0 additional points. The wallabies hadn't looked like scoring at that point. The only conceivable way you win in that situation is a combination of a couple of unlikely tries...

What "defensive" crap is that? They've given up 29 points a game this season. The number 1 priority has to be halving that. Whilst we leak easy tries like we did last night, all talk about attack and frankly all the talk about our pigs getting dominated is pointless. You can't plan to beat the...

"Dominant tackle" is a term I have used to describe a tackle in which the tackler dominates his opponent. I didn't mean for it to have a technical meaning, and I suspect you knew that but have chosen to be difficult on the matter. I suspect you are engaging in a bit of trolling now. From...

He wasn't offside. Have you actually watched the incident?

uh, what? Making big (legal) dominant tackles is not okay, now? Maybe if the halfback hadn't dropped carter in it with the biggest hospital pass of all time, he would still have a functioning shoulder. It's not the tackler's responsibility to avoid "driving people into the ground", that's...

White was the cornerstone of the victory. The forwards obtained parity at best and it was really only the tactical play of white that saved us from another embarrassing defeat. Honestly, when you pack is going to be beaten, as it was the in the 6 previous tests and as it is almost certainly...

What was REALLY annoying was being told last week by several posters (all of whom were sporting the reds logo but I'm sure that's a coincidence) that any changes in the backline (specifically the halves pairing) was "deckchairs on the titanic" and entirely pointless until our forward pack...

You're very sensitive aren't you. It's just a game. Quade had a reasonable game. He didn't gift the opposition multiple tries and that's always a positive.

All the balls going over his head? Laying the groundwork. I get it, it's an illness. It's fine.

design by committee innit. I'm all for the straight feed enforcement though. I also think full arm penalties have no place being awarded in scrums.

I have not yet figured out what's wrong with the half putting the ball in after "set". I'd hoped the new laws would reduce the role of the refs in the scrums. Not so far.

I'd figured that out when you starting making excuses for cooper.

If there isn't at least one reds fan calling for genia's promotion to the XV I will leave the forum for good. The discussion through the week was around me being informed that the halves didn't matter since the forwards were so shit. "Deckchairs on the titanic" I think it was described as...

the glaring difference tonight (and this is principally due to White) is that the wallabies played smart rugby by sticking to a position game rather than a possession game. that will go unnoticed by the reds fanbois though, who will all want genia back because he's now hungry and motivated or...

throwing white under the bus helps both genia and cooper

grubber into the corner wouldn't have been a bad option

won't make any difference, i read on GAGGER that the forwards are shit and therefore who plays 10 is irrelevant

don't understand why the RC needs to use northern hemisphere refs. Surely we can pull together enough refs from the participating nations? is it part of some exchange program with the NH nations like Prisoner Exchange Agreements or something?

The commentators are not likely any better observers of the match than you. Let's be honest, if he works for fox sports I'd say absolute ignorance of any laws passed this decade is a must-have

contempomi with his weight supported by his head...steals the ball :confused:
