I'm sounding like a broken record, but I still don't understand why the Tahs went for a shot at goal in the final minutes against the Force and didn't chance their arm for the fourth try bonus pt until it was too late.

Beale makes errors, but he has no problems going into contact. I may be overly optimistic, but I've got a feeling that a booze-free Beale is going to be one of the shining lights for the wallabies during the test series. His brief cameo for the Rebels was encouraging.

Not sure you can give that...

Why not go for the bonus pt try?

Rather than dispute the suggestion that there had been an obstruction, the commentators chose to ignore it.

I think they need to hook Lambie and put the poor lad out of his misery.

That's an understatement, he's having an absolute mare.

Karl, you've read my mind. I have long been a fan of abolishing the penalty goal in favour of 5 minute sin bins for second infringements or infringements in the opposition 22. Teams would stop infringing because they could drop down to 14 or even less players when defending the goal line. The...

You're not the only one Scotty. I don't think he's the answer at ten, but I think he's the best we currently have at 12.

Disgraceful performance from the officials, with both of Wales' tries the result of howlers: 1. Hook's pass was a metre forward; and 2. Shane Williams was taken out at the end. Wallabies guilty of some really stupid play though in the wrong areas. Alexander's kick, Digby's get up and run...

I can't for the life of me understand why we have a backslapping thread when we've just been bungled out of the WC with only a narrow, potentially underserved victory against South Africa to show for it. A flogging from NZ and a loss to Ireland clearly the low points. Moreover, if my memory...

If Wales could clear their under pressure scrum with Jamie Roberts packing down as flanker, then why can't we?

3. Pocock 2. Digby 1. JOC (James O'Connor) Vicks was decent and Cooper passable by the end of it. Horwill did some good things, but mixed it up with poor tackling and poor body height. His lazy running also really pisses me off. Elsom was woeful, as was Fainga'a. McCabe defensively good, but offered very little...

True, I actually forgot we scored a try in one of few times we had possession in that match. That try was not constructed though, rather it resulted from a turnover. Their key point is our attack did not look threatening against quality opposition all World Cup.

No tries against NZ, SA and Ireland. What does that suggest?

Hate how Genia slows it down in the attacking zone. Why with two minutes left would we want to rumble it up? All Blacks too good. Too much pace, too much power. Scrum completely dominant and owned the breakdown. Once again the Wallabies are tryless. Backline ineffective, particularly the in...

England 2007 were pretty bad finalists. However, this French team is right down here. But you never know, if they play and beat the Kiwis, well that would be the greatest choke of all.

Sad but fair call. France have been totally shit.

We are definitely stronger defensively. In fact, we'd be even stronger defensively if we swapped QC (Quade Cooper) for Barnes :).

Lethal in what sense? Fantastic wingers and a strong running fullback, sure. But how will they expect to see ball?
