    RWC QF 4 AUS v SCO (Twickenham) 19th Oct 0200 AEDT

    Be sure to ask them when we get the keys to Penny Hill Park too!

    RWC QF 4 AUS v SCO (Twickenham) 19th Oct 0200 AEDT

    Ok, as much as I can appreciate the "don't change it if it aint broke approach' let's think a little more critically at what we have seen. One thing Cheika has successfully been able to do, among many, is build a true "sqaud" with good depth right across the field. I honestly do not feel that...

    RWC QF 4 AUS v SCO (Twickenham) 19th Oct 0200 AEDT

    Was thinking the same thing. I have been watching most of the games on ITV and really enjoying the commentary. The silky sounds of Gordon Bray take me back to my rugby happy place. I have been watching the replays on foxtel go and after the England match I was thinking how bloody terrible Clarke...

    How the f**k can Horne pop his shoulder out and only miss one week? We got some magic Fijian leaves on tour?

    Assuming Izzy is gone....what does the backline & bench look like then?

    RWC QF 4 AUS v SCO (Twickenham) 19th Oct 0200 AEDT

    Agreed KOB....you would start Fardy-McCalman-Hooper and McMahon would be on the bench covering all three in a pinch (assuming Poey is out for one reason or another as opposed to being "rested"). If all looks safe with 15 to go let the mad-dog out of the cage and rest the big-dog.

    RWC QF 4 AUS v SCO (Twickenham) 19th Oct 0200 AEDT

    Yep, we have plenty of depth across the park and why run the risk of losing someone for the rest of the tournament? Hooper and McMahon can boss the breakdown this weekend and Kurtley is in great form at the moment. Poey is impossible to replace but the combo above will get the job done.

    RWC: AUS v WAL (Twickenham): POOL A; 2:45am (AEDT) Sunday 11 October

    As much as we can all appreciate Horne's defensive prowess, you have to wonder how much confidence he will have in a shoulder that popped out only a few weeks prior. I sincerely hope he makes a speedy recovery but think it would be a big mistake to rush him back into anything when we have a...

    To pick up on the AUS V WALES thread.......what do we expect to see next weekend against Scotland?

    RWC: AUS v WAL (Twickenham): POOL A; 2:45am (AEDT) Sunday 11 October

    I wouldn't drop Folau in hot minute but it could be argued that his high-ball catching is a far cry from what we know he is capable of.....I recall him being untouchable in the air. I may wrong here, but I don't think he has managed to take a clean "contested" catch in the last 3 matches...

    RWC: AUS v WAL (Twickenham): POOL A; 2:45am (AEDT) Sunday 11 October

    Letting a couple of players start from the bench this week does not equate to under estimating Scotland. This is the only chance we will have to let a couple of our star players overcome some niggling injuries and I believe that the guys that have been coming on as finishers are perfectly...

    RWC: AUS v WAL (Twickenham): POOL A; 2:45am (AEDT) Sunday 11 October

    When you look at the opposition that NZ have played against compared to to Australia this is a very telling stat. I must admit that I didn't enjoy watching this match live as much as I did the one last week (butthole pucker factor) but I have calmed down a little since the match and it is now...

    I am not sure if anyone else had to check the back of their shorts like I did when Foley went down in the 2nd half.......talk about an O-shit moment!

    Looking at the Pocock knee I can't much in that at all. What is the concern?

    RWC: AUS v WAL (Twickenham): POOL A; 2:45am (AEDT) Sunday 11 October

    Wow.....to win like that! to defend like that! Absolutely incredible gutsy effort. Don't think I have ever seen a Wallaby performance like that before.

    Was referring to our trouble getting our ball carrier ground quickly and safely.

    RWC: NZ v TONGA (Newcastle): POOL C

    I am not trying to bait our Kiwi brethren here but geesh, I would have expected to see at least one complete 80 minute performance by the AB's by this stage in the competition. Fair enough to say that the opposition have been a little wanting but by the typical AB standards I think their pool...
