Thats true but it was mostly a problem when they wanted to play him with Hooper and Pocock. McMahon is a legitimate line out target and it can work if your six is a decent target, as Swinton is. I feel he is more suited to a bench role or starting at 7. He will have excellent impact. I’m sure...

Those blokes will need a break so maybe he plays 6 or 7 next week?

Great bench and impact player that covers all 3 back row positions.

He must have been talking about those scrum penalty’s when the Bok prop was loosing his feet and we got pinged?

I’d guess that Banks will retain his spot as he is pretty good in the air and we know what’s coming. Hope to see JOC (James O'Connor) on the bench and maybe he gets a run there late in the game.

For the life of me I cannot see why they released Uelese. He would be perfect against the Boks in particular. I guess that means FF (Folau Fainga'a) gets a reprieve? Hopefully Kaitu’u starts.

Playing the best often is a good thing when we come up against other top tier teams. We are ready.

I thought he was pretty good against France and in all of his tests last year. He is the most skilled back rower we have in link play, maybe with the exception of Hooper who seems to get better and better in this respect. I am sure that we will see him against Argentina and at some point on the...

BPA to start if fit for mine. Swain to come back into the 23 if fit. A big focus will be defending the maul and Swain looks to be good at it and the lineout. You dont really need both Hodge and JOC (James O'Connor) on the bench. I would have one or the other and then Paisami or Petaia to inject some energy into...

JOC (James O'Connor) still has decent pace. He was lightening as a youngster. His positional awareness at the back has also been very good in both Super and test rugby of late. He like Cooper can identify where the space is rather than trucking it back up into the teeth of the defence as Banks most often does...

BPA straight in for FF (Folau Fainga'a) if the former is fit.

And several other very nice offloads. Two of note were the one to put Hooper away down the left flank and the other to send Samu on a run through the mid field.

Thats on BT

We left a couple of tries out there, one on each flank. They most likely would have been 7 pointers the way Quade was hitting them. Swings and roundabouts.

Its a complete travesty. He(71caps) and Wil Genia(110caps) cannot get citizenship? Crazy!! Thats Australian immigration policy for you. Embarrassing crap.

8 from 8 and he lead us to a victory over the RWC champions and current world #1. That does it for me. Welcome Quade.

That precise kicking game is nice and a long penalty shot option. We are lucky to have two excellent half backs.

That’s great but seems like something the old Quade might have considered. He no longer plays for BT or Cheika and most likely couldn’t give a rats arse what they think. Oh ye of little faith. Quade Cooper is the most naturally talented 5/8 we have had since Mark Ella. In the mean time we have...

I actually thought that Swinton was very good. He was heavily involved in defence and kept the Bok big men quiet along with Rodda, Philip and Valetini. He is also very solid in the lineout. Its good that we have have Swain to spell the other locks and Wilson and McMahon to share the 6/8 duties...

Kellaway is just immeasurably solid. Takes the right option every time and looks to have time and space.
