Again strange selections Deans just gets a little weirder each & every year.

I agree with Reg we've got good depth ATM I think the head coach is the problem. Look at the Saffas lock stock's who lost Bekker to injury and Matfield & Botha had retired. Meyer doesn't ask one of them to come out of retirement he threw in the two best super 15 locks they had & they performed...

I'm going to start a poll so please list any Aussie players outstanding world cup performances I may have missed. I'll narrow down the list to 5 when I do the poll Tim Horan 1999 RWC semi v Springboks Stirling Mortlock 2003 RWC semi v New Zealand David Pocock 2011 RWC Quarter final v South...

Punch ons happen in Rugby every now & then you just have to accept it. I don't agree with it but boys will be boys & I think Rugby has done well to limit this type of behaviour especially in the pro leagues.

If JOC (James O'Connor) is fit then he is in my starting team everytime. For the test's in Sydney & Auckland my backline would be. 9.Genia 10.Cooper 11.Ioane 12.Barnes 13.Mccabe 14.AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 15.Beale Res: White, Horne & Turner With JOC (James O'Connor) on board. 9.Genia 10.Cooper 11.Ioane 12.Barnes 13.AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 14.JOC (James O'Connor) 15.Beale RES...

Replace Timani with AWH, Pyle or Douglas. Timani is shit I don't care that he made a big hit in Super rugby 10 weeks ago he's not a test lock. Replace Vuna with Shipperley, Turner or Mitchell. Replace Ma'afu with Greg Holmes or Dan palmer. If Deans does all those changes from the last...

I can't believe we made it to the finals & a home final at that, You little beauty. it's a shame the Brumbies aren't in the finals also. Would have been nice to have two teams from every nation. I think we're good enough to go all the way, don't want to look to far ahead but a semi final in...

Yes he did.

Well if it's games won then if we win with a bonus point &the Sharks only win then we're in. YaY

I have to say that I've been impressed with Quade's defence/tackling so far this year. Against the Highlanders on Friday night he was superb with his ball & all tackling. That hit on Hosea Gear @ the end was almost a match winner. If he can maintain this form in defence I think he can give us...

Nah not a good buy for the Rebels they would be better chasing a good Aussie openside.

Should be a good game to watch now as the Reds need a bonus point win. I personally think we are going to just fall short of the finals but hopefully won of the Saffa teams choke next week & the Reds get the bonus point win.

How does it work if the Reds win with a bonus point next week & the Sharks & Bulls both win without a bonus point, will it come down to for & against or games won?

I wish Beale would cut out his miracle play crap that he always attempts. In 2010 when he really burst onto the scene he didn't try to offload all the time but now it almost a crime for him to go to ground after a half break.

Timani is fucking shit I can't believe he got a start over Pyle who is a genuine lock. Fuck our forwards were poor as a unit on Saturday, they've actually got worse since Scotland & Wales 1 when they actually dominated the opposition. So basically the more time Deans spends with them the...

3. Pocock 2. Barnes 1. Dennis

I really liked the 10-12 combo of JOC (James O'Connor) & Barnes. For mine Turner is better suited to test Rugby than the others you mentioned. Mitchell is a while off getting back to his best if he'll ever get back to his best, Tomane is still raw & does stupid things like throwing a hail mary in field when he...

Yeah Fardy is good I forgot about him.

I'd be happy with any of these blokes. Props & Hookers: TPN, Moore, Robinson, Kepu, Palmer, Slipper & Holmes Locks: Sharpe, Simmons, Horwill & Pyle. Number 8 & Blindside: Palu, Dennis, Higginbotham & Elsom Openside: Pocoock, Gill & Hooper

We can't play Cooper at 10 until he can defend @ 10. We can't keep moving players around in defence to hide Cooper plus moving him to fullback stuffed our counter attack as Beale was far more dangerous on the counter & kick return. Assuming all are fit. 9. Genia 10. JOC (James O'Connor) 11. Ioane 12. Barnes...
