Yeah but will Cheika play one?

As soon as we saw people banging on about the Blue Wall in the week, you could tell the Tahs were fucked.

Priceless. But maybe trying to knock the ball on is the secret. We try to hold onto the ball and fuck that up. If we are trying to knock the ball we might just fuck that up too.

Nice to see a couple of WA players in there.

You've picked the right thread for that one.

I'd take 6 consecutive losses over not making it out of the pool stages at your own World Cup ;)

What the actual fuck? No penalty try for a no arms tackle on Rodda because Rodda led with the shoulder? He's running the fucking ball!

Until you have Michael Cheika as your head coach and our assistant coaching team, I am not willing to listen to you complain ;) I don't normally experience schadenfreude, but that could possibly be my wet dream.

What was that one about the pot calling the kettle black?

Agreed. Looking forward to Luke Jones being back and Naisarani being eligible.

I'd not be surprised to see DHP at 13 and Folau back to full back. Not advocating for it though.

I'd call that a different context. Competent coaches with a proven track record moved around for a brief period to freshen things up.

I love how we all bang on about one or two selections that are irrelevant as they'll probably not have much impact on our team performance. Why aren't we complaining about still having an attack coach who can't coach attack and a defence coach who can't coach defence. I had to laugh in the week...

Would have liked a home final, but if I am honest, I'd prefer to play QLD Country away than the Canberra Vikings at home. Looking at how good the Country backline is, I hope the Force side have learnt something from last weekend's poor tactical choices.

I heard somewhere that Brody MacAskill was named player of the tournament but can't find it anywhere online- anyone know any more about that?

Drua 33-28. Means most likely Drua v Canberra next week and QLD Country v Force. Banking on two upsets.

21-21 20 to play.

I sometimes wonder if Australian Rugby is in the last days of Rome. In fighting, parochialism, self-interest that goes against the national good and self-aggrandisement. Leaving swathes of territory to be ravaged by Huns (AFL and League supporters). Population dropping as low as 10,000-20,000...

Maybe we are backing our defenders to tackle the opposition at the halfway line. Better to have a ruck on the halfway than a line-out? Particularly if our forwards are going forward and theirs are retreating?

Funny thing about RWCs is that the number 1 and number 2 ranked teams don't tend to face each other in the final. Sure they did in 2015, but we very nearly got knocked out by Scotland, how about before that? 2011- New Zealand (Ranked 1) beat France (Ranked 4) in the final. France were proper...
