Pretty sad really - what a waste of talent....

Is JOC (James O'Connor) in the squad at all? I don't know what his form was like in Super Rugby or where they had him playing at the Reds but he was/is a great finisher and is the kind of guy who can score tries from out of nothing. Like Speight in Super Rugby but as yet un-seen in his admittedly short Test Career so far.

I couldn't tell you to be honest - I personally don't have any BUT I do feel a connection to Maori-dom simply because I am a kiwi born-and-raised. It would probably be a hell of a lot more than Australians with Aboriginal origins I'd guess. Not long after I moved here, there was the big story...

Moala is probably as good as Tomane and Speight and if he continues to improve, will be a far better winger at Test level than either Horne or AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper).

This is one of the key differences between NZ and Aus when it comes to indigenous peoples. While we are far from 'there', I think there is a far better understanding and acknowledgement in NZ of the special place Maori have in our society. While we may all be Kiwis, Maori are the indigenous...

I'm not saying that I would pick them today but 3 years ago, are you saying you would have taken Speight over Ioane. My point is simply that Speight has, to date, proven nothing at Test level.

In the last 3 years I would have picked Digby and JOC (James O'Connor) at wing over Speight at Test level.

Based on an admittedly underwhelming EOYT?

The Brumbies? Yes he is the Brumbies best winger

Hooper took a swing. There is nothing grainy or even remotely questionable about it. He took a full-on swing. If you want to call that just a push then let's call boxing 'Closed hand Pushing' LOL I don't think Habana connected with a fist during his little fit and if you think blows on the...

Hooper took a swing at the guy pure and simple - he may have missed his head but he took a swing at him - closed hand or not. Or do you guys think he was just trying to give him a gentle pat on the back as consolation for the try that was being scored? "There, there Sanchez, there there...

Yep....thought the same thing. What amazes me about the article is that it totally ignores that the Wallaby scrum got well and truly smashed for nigh on 50min of each game against the same opponents the ABs either held their own against (mostly) or got the upper-hand on. But it's a weakness...

I've rated him pretty highly for the last 2 years, gets through heaps of work and put on a hit. I think I'd take him over his brother to be honest.

Damn McCaw is a beast. It's not just the number of break-downs he gets to but how many times he is the first or second player there - just a beast!

Is Argentina really a genuine Tier 1 team that is tough to beat at home? How many TRC games have they won at home??

Mid-field shaould have run into Hooper as Folau used him to get thru the gap there - could have been interesting

What is it with the Jekyll and Hyde Wallaby scrum??

And as I say that, he gets bumped again...

Phipps is terrible as the last defender.

Scrums are a massive concern for Australia. Pocock being his usual BEAST self...
