Well fucking done sharpie. Well fucking done indeed!

Whatever happens tomorrow people will think it too much and too little. I think a fine is the most likely result and wouldn't be without precendent (disrupute). Something needs to be done to send a message to players that this was not alright and the wrong thing to do (true or not). How tight...

did deans mishandle george smith and the whole pocock transtion to the point of making him give up and go overseas? It's been reported numerous time he showed little respect or allegiance to the established players upon arrival. Should have had george in our WC squad. No questions. Not so much...

But what does this mean in reality? What will or should change. How will this impact rugby's financial success and market growth potential? (I can't be bothered reading the whole thing...hats off to you!)

Barnes will have scored a fair few points against the welsh (both2011 and 2012) and early TRC games. Should it be a back or a forward?? Hard to say it should be a back given how not dangerous out attack has been. Then again I've pointed to finger at the forwards a lot this last 12months for...

Agree - the issue starts when Long Balls become your go-to-move. And when you start wasting the advantage that numbers and hands provide. Larkhams long balls were amazing - way out in front of the man so they hit them at full pace. But he only threw them when something was on and rarely on set...

I've renewed my determination to 'work from home' friday mornings here in europe to watch every tah game next season.

Here's a Facebook conversation I had with a kiwi mate who i would otherwise consider a very wise and reasonable bloke (and hie random mate). Kiwi status I'm thinking that being one of the kiwis that claimed the Wallabies needed more mongrel, I can't complain too much about Higginbotham. Me...

What did Sheehan do apart from throw the worlds wobbliest pass which beale duely dropped on our 22.

Would be good for sure. I would just take burgess if he could pass like genia and kick like white. Hawktrain has a good list too. To be honest the organisational part is the most important for me. Halfbacks need to run the forwards - peeling them off/sending them in, telling them where to be...

Chisolm ain't the way to go. I personally disagree we need sharpie to go, but the captaincy/leadership role is reason enough. We just need someone harder and meaner to replace Dennis.

why did we sub cummins for schmoo? he was having a cracker. And I probably would have taken huggers off instead of douglas - he was making more impact i reckon(and when will higgers stop trying to stand in tackles??). Gill did well when he came on.

his way of saying...'why didn't i get a mention in your book?'

He was a full meter outside the second time he touched it...almost in the stands.

Hard to go one way or the other. Hooper has pressed a real case for starting over a 'fit' pocock. Too be honest I would start hooper and sub him for posock at 50mins at least for the first game. Just imagine how pumped Poey would be to get his start back!! Could be like the welsh game in 2009...

hence my question

Is that possible without an aussie contract? And...why? He hasn't used 3 halfbacks on a tour yet. Why not take Kingi or Lucas?

Hate that it all comes down to cash. But to be honest. At his age, it would seem damn exciting to move overseas and experience something new. Plus you get a little less pressure, maybe more rugby enjoyment and more money. He's already proved himself and his reputation will stay intact while he's...

I don't think this is a high impact bench. So what will the substitution plan be? I doubt Palu has 80mins in his tank. So looking at the bench you either out Dennis on and shift higgers to 8 or you put Gill on. I'm betting Douglas see's no gametime unless there is an injury to timani or sharpe...

Yep. This is the big thing right now. We're only a bee's dick in front of the jarpies going into the spring tour. The boks are playing ireland, scotland and england and I'd rate them a good chance to win them all. Luckily we are not playing scotland. But france, england and wales will be tough...
