One of the only times I barrack for the ABs, and they lose. To England no less.

Commiserations New Zealand. All hopes now rest with South Africa.

What's Robbie Deans up to these days?

I'm not so sure about getting Eddie back. Personally, I haven't forgiven him for what he did to a whole generation of Australian props. In his quest for effectiveness around the park, he completely devalued the set piece and made our scrum in particular a laughing stock for years. Yes he may...

Jeez we play some dumb rugby.

Jeez that's a strong Boks side.

I remember, years ago, when I was a trainee in the Navy, the rules were that we had to have the door open when we had female company in our rooms. Maybe they could have tried that? :)

Izack Rodda could be played by Matt Hannon: For those unfamiliar with Hannon's work, here's a highlight:

I see your point, and I agree that our set piece was quite solid. The issue I think is more in general play. I noticed long phases where we lost ground and were dominated in contact. Forwards were also taking too long to reset, which slowed us up as well. The Argies competed well at the...

There's lots of talk about the performance of our inside backs last night, but that neglects the fact that we took an absolute hammering up front. Forwards were going one out, and losing ground as a result. We're lucky we didn't get turned over more. It's a constant problem the Wallabies have...

Serious question: Is the TMO allowed to tell the ref that he's not allowed to call the lineout?

Gotta get the excuses in early!

Yeah, it's borked for me too.

She is amazing. A good turn of speed too by the look of it.

Looks like you were right Paarl. Geez that's a hiding.

I think the Windies might have had something to say about that.

The missus told me to put money on them. I told her I didn't want to waste money and to do it herself. Ends up that neither of us put money on anything.

Holy crap it's been ages since I started a thread. Anyway: 3. McMahon 2. Beale 1. TPN
