Changed the game plan earlier & ditch the direct approach when it was clear the space was on the fringes, replace Phipps, Dennis & Palu earlier for Sheehan, Gill & Samo. I couldn't believe how some of players would become isolated on a 1 out hit up, why aren't they running as pods.

My 22 would be. 1.Robinson 2.TPN 3.Kepu 4.Douglas 5.Sharpe 6.Dennis 7.Hooper 8.Palu 9.Phipps 10. Beale 11.Ioane 12.Tapuai 13.McCabe 14.AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 15.Harris 16.Moore 17.Slipper 18.Timani 19.Samo 20.Gill 21.Sheehan 22.Barnes My pack would finish the games as. 1.Robinson 16.Moore 17.Slipper 18.Timani...

I think it will be close with Pocock 1st & Hooper 2nd. Pocock by 6 votes. Come on everyone have a punt, who wins & by how many votes.

It was a year or more ago, Rugby Reg posted it on another thread. Eddie was coach of the opposition & MMM had already scored two tries before doing his hammy.

Yeah a mix between Burgess & Genia. Genia's speed & skill. The toughness of Burgess & I also liked how Burgess would secure ball by throwing his head into a ruck when it was required. Genia is like Gregan & stands back & waits for his forwards.

The NRL finals series was shit this year, all blowouts & a grand final that never really had anyone on the edge of their seats although in saying that if Morris had scored that try off the Barba kick it would have been a thrilling final 10 minutes.

I still think Tapuai is a better 12 than 13 and he should swap with McCabe. I'm happy with Beale, Tapuai & McCabe but we just need more speed outside them. Harris had a great game but we really need the speed of JOC (James O'Connor) coming in from 15.

Eddie Jones wrote in an article that MMM was running amok over there basically unstoppable until he did his hammy.

It certainly wasn't the running spectacle of 2010 when the Wallabies backs really ran riot but that's rugby roundabouts next year we may see a complete try fest. Compare the AFL finals to the NRL finals series anyone who half follows both codes would say that the AFL finals series was far more...

So really Hiiginbotham should really try to take his head off with a flying fist, elbow or even headbutt Saint Keven style & he would get the same suspension.

Same as Greyling who should have got 8.

brilliant the Western McMeniman just became my #2 team well number 3 behind the Wobs & Reds. Can't wait to see him back in action next Super rugby season. I personally think he could be like Samo & play #8 at test level.

True Greyling should have got 8, maybe they'll give Higgers 8 instead.

Sweet available for the spring tour. New pack will be 1.Robinson 2.TPN 3.Kepu 4.Douglas 5.Sharpe 6.Hooper 7.Pocock 8.MMM

I think they'll take Samo as we'll need a Jumping #8 with Pocock & Hooper starting at Twickers. Higgers will be suspended & Dennis is still only a bench player at best.

He'll get the same as Etzebeth anymore & I'd be surprised.

I think it will between the two opensides Pocock for the RWC & Hooper for the Rugby Championship. Would be cool if it ended in a draw.

I just wish we had taken a drop goal & the game had ended on our terms & not theirs. Harris or Beale should of stepped up the moment we got in the 22 even if they missed at least it ended with us having a shot at glory.

Oh well hopefully this week.

3. Sharpe 2.Tapuai 1.Harris. SM Douglas & TPN.
