Coming from a family of swimmers, and tennis players, I turned up to the first day of training for the Quirindi High School's 7 stone 7lbs Rugby League team. The coach asked every student "what position would you like to play"? I had only heard of wing, so I said "wing"! Two years later, I was...

Any news on how serious the "injuries" are to Saia and Big Kev?!

Moono74, you have two 'friends for life' in Mrs D and me, with that evaluation!! I would have substituted the word "balls", for "scruff of the neck"!

I would expect the locks to be Carter (if he's over his head knock), and Simmons, with Big Kev on the bench. Not sure why Folau would need a "rest", as some have suggested, unless it's from the hectic schedule of visiting the tourist spots in between matches!

I have to agree, swingpass.

We are all hurting here, but let's not start verbally "shirt-fronting" each other to relieve the frustration. I plan to do some laps in our pool, then mow the lawns to relieve mine!!

I agree, IS, but, if it makes you feel any better, it's also a major problem with our Grandson's under-7s touch-footy team!!!

Suffering from premature adjudication there, HJ!

Why were the commentators talking about Kurtley bloody Beale?! I assume the ARU has invoked the "Twelve Strikes And You're Out" clause, to allow him to re-join the squad?

Sam Carter failed the 'concussion test'.

Yes Biffo, I'm wearing my 2003 Wallabies jersey today, 'teamed' with my Wallabies boxer shorts!! Mrs D is having her first "cuppa" (tea, not Bundy), for the morning. Enjoy the match.

I got "ambushed" by some Brumbies supporters on Monday. I was back in Quirindi for an Aunt's 100th birthday bash. Mrs D and I stayed with Sam Carter's Grandparents for three nights. Whilst we were there, I drove us all out to see Sam's parents and his Sister on the family property. I was...

We are about to be led into the "promised land" by Skelton, Hodgson, and (apparently, in the next test) by Mr K Beale!! I keep looking out my kitchen window, and can't see any extra date palms! I'm sure they will appear soon!

Thanks BH, that pretty well tells who has been the dominant team! As an aside, we are heading south in Northern NSW, and it was great to walk into the bar of the Tenterfield Tavern last night and see, on the big screen, an Aust v Ireland replay!

HJ, I'm not in possession of the stats, so you might be able to help me. We seem to have played many tests against these blokes over the last few years. From memory, they haven't won too many! My question is: What are the win/loss numbers for us in, say, the last 8 tests?

Thanks Braveheart81, I couldn't see the logic in Inside Shoulder's definition, (post #369), which could mean that a player could play any number of tests against the ABs in Australia, yet not be a "Wallaby", whereas another could "tour", play a mid-week match against 'whoever', and become a...

As this match is not a "Test Match", and players aren't "capped", can I assume that debutantes will still be allocated a "Wallaby number"? Thus, it is therefore possible for a 'numbered' Wallaby to go through his playing career without ever playing a Test Match, due to injury, misadventure, or...

Is that the "Beale Band Wagon", HJ?!

Good point, cyclopath. I had come to that conclusion after reading an article in yesterday's Gold Coast Bulletin, by Jamie Pandaram & Rebecca Wilson. Having read it again a few minutes ago, I note that it says that Beale "could be in line to join the Wallabies in their spring tour"...

Hey TWAS, speaking of plane tickets, who will fly back to Oz, given that KB (Kurtley Beale) has now gone over to "re-enforce" the squad? Maybe they took one player less, knowing that Kurtley would be there, all along!
