Couldn't agree more......Horwill must have been caught banging Cheika's wife as it has been a pretty dramatic fall from grace since the early TRC matches. Palu is no great loss as IMO he should never have been on the plane. Skelton on the other hand will be missed even if we only saw him for...

Interesting to look back at the stats for the England V Australia game from last November. I was lucky enough to be at the game and was scratching my head afterward as to how we let that one slip. On the back of almost double the possession and phase play, but way too many handling errors, we...

Looks like the win over England on the weekend has moved Wales up to #2 in the world rankings. Looks like we will be the underdogs two weeks in a row.

If the English scrum is going forward then Marler gets away with it.....end of story. We need to make sure that we get dominance early and at least stay solid enough to absorb the initial shove. If we start going backwards we are screwed and it won't matter if Marler is pushing sideways...

If there ever a game where we would want to get ahead on the scoreboard early then this would be it. The added pressure of having to chase Australia on the scoreboard might be the proverbial straw that sees them shit the bed. Add to that, I am going to enjoy the game a heck of lot more if we get...

The short answer to your questions is NO, given the likely backline Cheika will trot out we are going to struggle to score against a fired up pommy team with their backs to the wall....and no, our kickers are no accurate enough to kick 100% during this game. None of them have done anything to...

AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) @13 is hardly playing out of position Lindommer. I wouldn't be the only one thinking that is actually his best position and given TK's lacklustre efforts of late we could do worse. My suggestion was tongue in cheek at best.....call it a fantasy backline of sorts, but if all were on top of...

I tend to find myself in the exact same boat as you TSR. Unfortunately the relationship / perception of QC (Quade Cooper)'s value to Australian rugby in general I believe has been irreversibly tarnished. Too much has been said over the years regarding his shortcomings on and off the field for him to be able to...

I liked what I saw from Mitchell despite a rough start to the game for him. Shades of Bryan Habana in him and out of all of the Wallaby outside backs he is the closest to a real finisher IMO. You get the sense from him that he knows exactly where the try line is and is not afraid to pin his ears...

The fact that you have to "confess" to be a fan of a particular player is frankly bloody sad, TSR.

We all know what you think when it comes to QC (Quade Cooper), BH ;)

go to http://www.speedtest.net/ and see what sort of speeds you can get over the hotel wifi. If you can get a solid 3mbs then your best bet is a simple VPN program installed on your laptop (i use IP Vanish). Once you have that running then ITV channel's webplayer will give you the best free...

Hawko, how are you "accessing" the media? Phone, tablet or PC....and what type of connection will you be using? Mobile data, hotel wifi, someone's home wifi? Any limitations with the connection speed of amount of data to keep in mind?

Yep, it is pretty outrageous. $37.95 for HD broadcast and $27.95 for standard definition. All of the US Eagles matches are free to air in SD as was the opening ceremony and the England-Fiji Match. That all said, 15 years ago there was nothing, then a few years later we would get a few super...

Yeah, I do agree with you there PT. For mine it wasn't the control and direction we are lacking with Foley/Gits as with those two we have that in abundance. I am looking for some threat or penetration in close. Neither Foley or Gits can deliver that, whereas To'omua is the only one who has been...

I thought that was going to be the case BH but apparently not. Your are correct in that the RWC matches are being broadcast live on free-to-air ITV channels ITV-3 & ITV-4 but not online through i-player. That was my old "Plan-A" which I was lucky enough figure out early enough for me to come up...

I can't help feeling that with the Foley Giteau combination we have two players doing what one #10 should be capable of. Now this is not a direct criticism of Foley rather that I am thinking that a Foley To'omua combination may be more fruitful. We seem to be completely lacking in a "directness"...

I will assume that my earlier comments are what you are referring to Cyclo, and fair enough. My comments aren't meant to be read as "one-eyed pro QC (Quade Cooper).....our savior" so to speak. More so that I am having a hard time, as you said, believing in the current combinations unlocking any solid defense...
