It really is impossible to be an avid rugby fan in Australia without a foxtel subscription. You just gotta find money in the budget for it. Thankfully i dont have kids, and if I did i'd be cancelling piano lessons.

Sounds like the new broadcast deal might just be enough money to keep the ARU rolling. The news of the FTA coverage of Super games is a nice bonus. Does anyone know if there is any broadcast dollars coming to SANZAR from the Japanese broadcasters?

Seriously what the fuck is wrong with the ARU. Can we not keep at least a few quality THs in this country. Any chance we could lure Longbottom home in 2016?

If we're not going to play AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) at outside centre I'd go with either Lilo or Horne. Both are in decent form, and Lilo is very comfortable playing outside of To'omua.

Hopefully all of Moore, TPN and Fainga'a are fit for the WC. Would be an interesting battle between them. Moore is the best over 80 minutes. I'd probably still lean towards TPN on the bench just for his strength in the scrum.

Sorry yeh. I had understood he was under an injury cloud. If he's fit he's a certain starter

1. Slipper 2. Hanson (Fainga'a if he's fit) 3. Kepu 4. Simmons 5. Carter 6. Jones 7. Hooper 8. McCalman 9. Phipps 10. Foley 11. Speight 12. To'omua 13. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 14. Tomane 15. Folau 16. Mann-Rea 17. Robinson 18. Alexander 19. Horwill 20. Skelton 21. Hodgson 22. Genia 23. Horne I think the team is...

Imagine what would happen if he's named at 12. I'd personally be on a plane to Europe to murder Cheika

I was probably a bit hard on Cheika in my earlier comments. He shouldn't be judged on the results of this tour, given the unique circumstances he's dealing with. By and large the team has played some pretty entertaining rugby and could have won the games they lost. Still the idea of losing 3...

You're right Braveheart. We are talking about very fine margins here. If we can beat England the tour will have been a success. Lose and its an undeniably poor start to Cheika's reign.

Qwerty its incredible that you would be happy with 1 out of 4 wins on tour

Cheika has been forced to defend a controversial decision to select Beale in circumstances where he had plenty of able willing guys on tour. His justification seems to be "it's my team and I'll do what I think is best". If you ask me there was no good reason to justify his inclusion. Not his...

Let me add to my early comments by saying, I'm not saying Cheika shouldn't be coach or that his job is at stake if we lose on Saturday. He will take us to the world cup regardless of the results. But truthfully whatever hype was behind Cheika when he took over will have been smashed into a...

I'm sorry but I've stepped off the Chieka bandwagon. After we lose next week that wagon will be a mere blip on the horizon. The fact that Beale got a chance ahead of Godwin is an embarrassment on so many levels.

But we are not undefeated. In fact when we lose this weekend, it will go down as our worst EOYT in a long, long time. We lost two games that we clearly had the players to win. Two teams we put to the sword under Link. Cheika should feel pressure. 2 out of 4 tests would have been a pass mark. 1...

Yes. the agenda to win games. I think Foley has had an amazing season, but I'd like to see what Cooper can offer us at 10 before the season ends, especially considering we won 3 out of 4 game with him at 5/8 on the 2013 EOYT.

Tomane in for AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper). Cooper at 5/8, Horne and Foley on the bench. Horwill onto the bench for Skelton (set piece is paramount against the poms). Beale out of the 23. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) at 13 if Kuridrani is out. Will be happy to see this season finish. Hopefully we'll have more success next year. Cheika...
