I was trying to say that I wouldn't be surprised is Coles, Franks etc know that a few of the Wallabies are easily led into that niggle and use it to get them off their game. I don't think you see the same in AB v Bok games. And the new Wallabies just seem so keen to get into it.

I've quoted this before in regards to Cheika: "I cannot trust a man to control others who cannot control himself." It seems to me that lately there is always a bit of niggle in the AB/Wallaby games and it's often the new guys getting into it e.g. Ala'alatoa, Coleman. Mum seems to get into it...

That would be hilarious!! I hate the 'rules' around how sides can respond to the haka. It doesn't need to be 'respected' or anything like that at all. I think teams should be allowed to do whatever they want so long as it is OK to show on TV eg. can't moon it. Although I wouldn't care if a...

OK...just watched the game: The only person who should be blamed for the Speight non-try is DHP. Dumb dumb move to run into Savea and the debate over whether Savea would of caught him or not becomes irrelevant. It's pretty basic knowledge that you can't run into and bump a player chasing the...

Oh yeah....George Moala is a bloody good player :)

I missed the 2 Wallaby games prior to this last weekend's game vs SA but I really don't see the issue with Folau. He was hardly terrible on the weekend. I just took a quick look at the GAGR MOTM threads for 2016 and apart from those 2 games, Folau is in a lot of peoples picks for most games...

I remember when the Wallabies had some pretty hard, tough buggers like Phil Waugh, George Smith, Owen Finnegan, Brendan Cannon, Toutai Kefu, Dan Vickerman. Who is there now? Pock is a tough bastard but there are no damaging runners or heavy hitters. Too early to tell with Coleman I think. Vaea...

I've been saying this for about the 5years or so I've been on this forum. The Wallaby forwards have been soft for years now and with Pocock missing, it's a glaring weakness.

Yah but then Read wouldn't be offside. Not so simple now huh ;)

You called Franks 'scum'. He's played 80+ Tests and has not got any kind of history or reputation as being a grub or being dirty and even in this latest controversy, Kane Douglas himself says he didn't think it was that bad. If that is what qualifies as 'scum' then clean get the Jiff out and go...

That's a coaching/strategy issue.

Exactly. Pointing the finger at someone like Franks and calling him 'scum' is poor. The guy has played 80-odd Tests and doesn't play dirty. Yes, he should have at least been penalised a few weeks back but the Wallabies have there fair share of grubs and hot-headed moments as well.

I thought he had some really good games in the black jersey but yeah - he's found it hard to break back in after that poor off-season he had a couple of years back.

Lance Armstrong took illegal drugs and then went to extreme measures to hide it. The ABs play a game right in front of the refs and get penalised and yellow carded. You make no mention of aggression because again, you don't know what it is.

Tuipulotu is growing into a great player. Personally, I'd rather have Luatua than Squire but I am a Blues fan. Squire for mine really hasn't shown much in the black jersey to date.

FTFY

They are the most dominant team in World Rugby by a country mile. They not only have the best attack and backline play in world rugby, they also have one the best - if not the best - aggressive defence in World Rugby as well. Comparing them to Lance Armstrong is just a ridiculous bulllshit...

How the hell Mumm gets a start ahead of Fardy is well beyond me BTW

What a shit Hollywood to end the game too

Can't say ABs are not getting carded when a clear neck roll by the Argies doesn't get a card and are not even getting called for off-side.
