If Palu is back, back row rotation between Palu, Mowen, Dennis, McCutcheon and Waugh, with Mumm as a potential 6 if required looks pretty handy to me...without Palu things look a little less handy. It would be nice to have McCaffrey in the mix too, but them is the breaks.

Defeated = Rolled (based on the final score in a match of 80mins) Barnes is doing pretty well. Played his first ever s14 semi final this season, for the highest ranked Australian team, having completed a clean sweep over all the Australian teams. His opportunities for the Wallabies have been...

Not only does the CEO of a company not need to be an expert on the products of the company in order to be sucessful, but an organisation doesn't even need to produce the best products in order to be successful (case in point - think of fast food giants....it is all about marketing and almost...

He did 'goal tend' a kick for Qld against, I think, Waikato. Can't help with details.

Mr Mouse - I'm still going with Genia as often outstanding and Moore sometimes. S Fainga'a was sometimes adequate. Chief - I disagree with you regarding Pocock and McCaw. Right now, when considering their all round game, McCaw is the better player. Pocock has been outstanding (in terms of...

RR - maybe Mitchell for the Waratahs

It is a shame all teams won't play eachother at least once. We can all see this is an issue, and look at the way everyone is saying "ooh, we missed playing so and so" etc. Rubbish. The 4N should be a home and away affair (6 games each). As with the Bledisloe Cup, where there are additional...

All in all, I'd say this season has to go down as an improvement on last season for the Wallabies. The main reason being the improved standing in the Tri Nations. I don't accept the what if this or what if that crap, as the injuries to various players from various teams cancel eachother out over...

George Smith - isn't it in the rules?

What a load of crap. Kiwis, you can do what you like on your side of the pitch and we'll do what we like on ours. If you want to do your dance, go ahead. We'll react as we see fit. The IRB has got the whole thing so wrong. BTW - I find those sorts of things either amusing or motivational when...

3. Beale 2. Sharpe 1. Moore

I am not impressed with him. Not because of his outlandish statements (even though some of them have been pretty crazy), but because of his poor selections, tactics, coaching...he has great depth and had form players to choose from and the results don't reflect that. Is there a viable...

Come on guys, what goes down in the live call stays in the live call.

Chris Handy - Go you good thing Phil Kearns Dan Crowley

Tough call this week. Just about everyone was up and down, so first I'm going with the biggest ups, despite the downs. 3. Beale 2. Moore 1. Mitchell A few other mentions: Pocock and Sharpe were very strong in their repective roles. All the backs had great moments. Slipper did much better than...

Beale, big stones there son, especially after the ups and downs of the match. The good news about Beale's work under the high ball is that he'll get plenty of practice from all of our opponents until he gets it right (just like AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) did).

If the Wallabies lose it cannot be the best ever game for me.

Amazing match. The fabulous attacking rugby of the first half, the big big effort for the last 10 mins with a player down, and Beale's ballsy penalty are the higlights for me. Coming back after they basically screwed it up was huge. The confidence they get from that will hopefully stay...

The Reverend Dr Scarfman is on fire! Gagger, how about "A week in the life of Scarfman?" - no need to make anything up to make it funny (kind of like the JO'N one)

There are so many issues with that Wallabies wish list I hardly know where to start. JO'C on the wing over Mitchell, Turner and Hynes? Nah, I'd place him behind all three. Horne at 13? The only thing more wishful is Chambers at 13 (at least Horne actually has a couple of tests under his belt)...
