The attack in this game is horrible. It as close to league as you can get except you don't get to the 5th tackle. 3 or 4 hit-ups and kick.

If you were to pick an Australasian team, who would it be?

Really? Last game against ARG: Tied for most number of defensive rucks involved in at 7 100% of those times he was early and 71% of the time he had 'impact'. Going by those stats - best AB on the park. 2nd Bledisloe this year: far and away the No.1 player involved in defensive rucks...

I forget which poster here does the breakdown analysis for Wallaby games and few others but almost every AB game he does, McCaw is one of the best - if not the best - player on the pitch at the breakdown. It's unbelievable the level which he is still playing at.

Fixed that for you. :)

This possibly the WORST suspension in the history of rugby. 5 weeks for being a strong runner.....FFS what is the game coming to!! Jonah would have got a life ban for what he did to Mike Catt if these idiots were in charge back in1995

I thought at the time that he was very very lucky not to get a yellow. I'm not surprised it got cited especially given the yellow given to Farrell later in the game....

Pocock is an absolute beast and nothing short of a game changer. Any team playing the Wallbies have to plan and adjust for him so drastically it must be hell to prepare for. The man is just a beast.

One of the only laws I have issue with at the moment is this one. We are seeing more and more players getting tackled then getting up immediately and continuing with their run under this 'I wasn't held' idea. If the rules are that the tackler must release immediately, of course you weren't...

Didn't get to see the game but from what I've read, this was pretty prophetic :)

The ease with which Hayne was caught will be a little bit of a concern but even though it was a great hole made by the line - and the lead blocker did a great job with 2 blocks right at the line - it's still encouraging to see how well he's adapted in even finding and seeing that seam. His left...

Errrr - yes, it was only the 'dudes on the internet' who considered him to be the best. No name 'dudes' like Justin Marshall - what the fuck would he know about Test rugby? So last week Phipps was apparently piss-poor and White was hardly a huge improvement from what I watched anyway. Would...

I'd go Pocock to 6, Hooper to 7 and McCalman to 8 but I don't remember any Tests with Fardy at lock and Cyclopath reckons set-piece was shit so I guess that's not good. And I didn't get to watch any Blues games this year let alone and Reds ones so again, I'll have to take everyone else's word...

I thought Slipper was pretty good both sides? Ah well - Kepu to start then. Does Horwill or Skelton really offer that much more than Fardy does at lock? I think he's tougher than both of those blokes and is definitely works harder than Skelton. Most posters here seem to think that Foley hasn't...

Agree. I was one of the firstvguys on here who touted Pocock and Hooper playing together because they just have such different games even though they bith usually wear 7. Pocock is your Michael Jordan and Hooper is your Scottie Pippen. Jordan made Pippen a better player and having Jordan on the...

One name - Pocock. I don't think there was a Wallaby turn-over until the 2nd half. Pocock came on and bagged one. There is just no way any Wallaby team should be starting without him if he's fit - it's that simple.He is a game changer and the guy in your forward pack who no other Test team...

Has George Smith ever rated by any other 'franchise nation' other than the Brumbies? Latham - Restalia? Pocock? I think you make too much of the parochialism - most good players are well regarded here no matter where they come from. Well, from what I've seen anyway.

You guys actually don't rate him against either NZ or SA. A couple of years ago I wen back and looked thru all the GAGR rating for the last 3 or 4 years or something and against those 2 team, you guys here on GAGR had rated him around pretty averagely - there may have been 1 or 2 games where...

You're mad if u think Speight would walk into the ABs. Speight has like 4 or 5 yrs on Moala.....and he's dine nothing in his limited international chances so far

Geez it's hard not to like this bloke isn't it?
