I think we need to pick a TH lock next week to sure up the scrum. Brisbane is the quickest pitch in the county which allowed us to play the running game but in Melbourne the set piece might be more important. I wouldn't pick timanai. I'd probably go with douglas or one of the rebels.

If Beale is fit for the next game robbie could move barnes to 12, McCabe to 13 and drop horne. But even that is a compromised line up as barnes doesn't have the impact running game at 12. The only Australian I can think of who has the running and passing game to play 12 is JOC (James O'Connor) and maybe...

Edit - abusive passage deleted - no more Casey. 1st and last warning Play the ball not the man mate. Keep this up and you won't last too long around here.

Also this is no excuse for losing, but the pitch was beyond poor. The IRB have now moved all further games away from the dannie craven stadium because the pitch was so poor.

Oh and glen jackson has no fucking idea what is going on at scrum time. We had the dominant scrum until the argies bought reserves on.

My notes on the Australia v Argentina match: - The tight 5 started alright but could not hold the intensity. Nucifora's use of the bench was beyond horrible, pretty much the whole tight 5 should have been subbed by about the 60th minute. I really hope the non-use of the bench was due to...

Good luck to the Saffas this weekend. Fuck the poms, I hope you beat them by 100.

To put this in context for our southern brethren - the last time I went to the vic they served drinks in hard plastic cups so that people could glass each other....

I'm more disappointed about the fact that they were at the Vic than anything else.

Would be interested to know which hotel it was. I would have said the normanby, but they are a reds sponsor so I doubt they would be refusing quade entry.

Furthered by the brumbies rise this year and the new found strength in the pack. Dont sell your lads short slim!

If AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) get injured we are truly fucked. McCabe and Barnes are both totally unproven at 15 at this level. And Harris is a worse fly half than ben lucas, he should not be playing there in a test match. 2 centres on the bench is silly. This bloke is a fucking nutter

While I am not going to argue that our forwards were dire in that game, I think something that often goes unrecognised is the ability of the backs to put the forwards on the front foot. Its seemed like last year in the super rugby, whenever cooper saw the forwards were sinking a bit, he seemed...

Obviously taking the piss lads. On a serious note, I would have picked shipperly over Vuna. Probably would have picked morahan over both and moved AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) to the wing.

-De Villiers: “Has had to bide his time, but good things come to those who wait, and if you wait long enough for delivery, the pizza will be free.”

Deans should just pick Ant Fainga'a on the wing. It's not like the ball is going to get past barnes often, and if it does it's certainly not going to get past the centre's, who've thrown about 6 passes between them so far this super rugby season. Might as well pick a good defender.

Cooper Vuna will get shown up in defence. Willing to put a sig bet on it.

Would love to see Toua get a run. Walker is also an option. It will be interesting to see who they call up from clubland to cover lock, halfback and centre. I haven't seen enough games this year to comment but I'm sure one of you will have a fair idea about whose playing well in those...

I was actually trying to highlight the fact that the force aren't doing that bad a job at producing players. And while they may not be producing world class talent yet, there are some good up and coming players in that list you compiled, and I think if they stuck with these players it world be a...
