lets win the thing first. then once we have won it, play some ball games i do not want to spend the next twelve years thinking we got beaten on the scoreboard but we played the more entertaining rugby.

falou mowen and lilo in >>> wtf is it with these early announcements thou?

after barnes recent performances i wouldnt be surprised if he starts either> he did the job for us last year

so a back three of ioane, falou and cummins/ tomane hooray for running rugby

3 uncapped in the squad aye

i think we are going to win 3-0 despite all the doomsayers- at the end of the day we are australia and australians win they are poms- and poms lose... then whinge about it

some of the excuses i expect them to use when they lose "the sun burnt their pale skin and they couldnt sleep at night" "australian made mouth guards didnt fit their crooked teeth"

banter with the poms (i dont discriminate- they are all poms) is about to go into overdrive, i thought we should have a thread where we can pool our insults and use as a reference point if we need to pull one out of the bag to demoralize some of our pale skinned friends..

i dont have the numbers to back this up but i think both oconner and barnes have higher kicking accuracy when playing for australia> i just dont recall seeing either miss many in tests> and often remember thinking how surprisingly accurate they are in gold> especially the last 2 years

id like to see the game have a strong indiginous influence 2- s. fainga 6- m.hodgeson 7- c. fainga 10- k.beale 11- r. davies 12- a. fainga if marketed properly this would do wonders for engaging our indiginous community i also wouldnt be against having players like tahu or one or two 5kick...

italics could solve this i feel

true he isnt playing test matches- but neither is anyone else this year and while i value your opinion very highly qwerty- id tend to lean with genias opinion- despite the bias he is also the best 9 in the world, arguably the most important position on the field- if he feels cooper outside him...

and i totally agree> however judging by his comments recently i think he is considering the bigger money offers in vic or wa would be happy to see folau in the centers or beale at 15 otherwise

have you not seen any difference in his performances the last month or so? would you agree there is less mistakes? id trust him again for a few reasons 1-genia wants him there and against a newly formed team, combinations are everything 2- our other options arnt even playing 10 for their...

id have to say that its quades 'temperament' that ive seen the most improvement in since the logistics camp omission> hes just not making mistakes recently> there is considerably less flash> but im not seeing any of what people would traditionally label 'typical quade errors'

if beale was to come back id like to see him get a run at 12- he has all the attributes assuming horne is going to the force or rebels 10-foley 11-betham 12-beale 13- AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 14-crawford 15- folau whoooeee

that abysmal welsh side was the best welsh side to tour in 30 years we made them look pedestrian, we dictated the tempo and despite a huge injury toll we sent them home 3-0 it wasnt running rugby, but give credit where its due... plus the arrogance the welsh approach our games with has been...

haha in jest of course- i learnt a long time ago not to get my thp and lhps mixed up... thps are the easiest to run around

i can see why everyones getting palmer and robinson mixed up- they are just props after all- really just there for restarts and to give the backs someone to run around in broken field play... right? edit> and ill ad the restarts are usually because a forward has gotten lost in the fast pace of...

tahs should be playing people where it suits them, not the wallabies> thats why barnes is starting from the bench, while in qld cooper defends from fullback one thing that ive liked about cheika is that every decision seems to be in the best interest of the team> if people like crawford are...
