So Gits is out as well? Cooper/O'Connor at 10/12? That combo is gonna be tested in defence...

He was dire but what was worse was the lack of intensity from the forwards mid-way through the second half when the game was there for the taking. Also, the one time Mitchell ran back the ball with pace and intent he sliced through the defence. Can we stop with the up-and-unders?

Re: Alan Lewis That penalty which gave Wales the 21-13 lead was an absolutely shocker. The Welsh winger was infront of M Williams and never retreated before contesting the ball, and he pings Ioane for holding on?

:nta: However I do agree with you that he's not the best long term solution for the 10 jersey.

Pocock has been in the matchday 22 of every test so far, hasn't been carrying an injury and got game time against both Italy and the Poms, so not really. I think it's time he gets a start.

I don't think Chisolm had a bad game, but it's just Sharpe, Mumm and especially MMM had better games so that tall trio is being given a shot.

Awesome! Who are the other Munster Kiwis beside Howlett?

Haha I saw that watching a replay, you could see Moore mouth "oh OK" when TPN assured him he wasn't being subbed. Anyhoo, team posted, Palu in for injured Brown, Alexander replaces Robinson who's being rested, and MMM goes to lock, Mumm to 6 and Chisolm to bench.

I'd be tempted to start Pocock. A certain dreadlocked openside made his debut for Oz against the Frogs in Paris as a 20yo in 2000...

3 Sharpe 2 MMM 1 Moore

lol yeah, but I guess Gear and Habana have had time at 13 and one of them might line up there... Who's Ollie Smith?

Yeah that's the team, with TPN, Dunning Palu and Cords also on the bench. It's bizarre how the team is leaked seemingly every week, it's supposed to be embargoed until 4am (AEDT)...

V BGS in 2002, it wasn't him that got put in the ambulance?

Wasn't Lloyd's hype more due to a size thing? I remember seeing him play my school's first XV and he was huge in a very large TSS team (didn't stop him from getting knocked out after a head collision with a mate of mine...)

Pocock got on for the final minutes, jumping on the ball that Italy spilt off their own lineout at the very end, allowing Gits to eventually boot it out for the win.

There was a incident not long before fulltime when Sivi ran so blatantly infront of a ruck to prevent Wallaby defenders from joining it it was comical.

I played in the back three for a game or two in my final year of school. 1985 183cm 92kg Kinda like a big, slow Dell-like winger without any of his tackle-breaking ability. I can kick a bit tho.

The gothetahs website had a great video compiliation of that highlighting Staniforth's contribution (he was awesome) and set to Simple Minds' Don't You. It was up on youtube but taken down but I think it was downloadable from a website?

He's fallen well out of favour. Saw him run out in the 22 jersey for the Rats a couple of weeks ago in their mighty win against Randwick but I think he was a very late inclusion in the team (Lee?) and didn't look too flash. It's a pity because he's got the big game experience and massive touch...

It's amazing that he didn't in the second half more after how ineffectual the constant bombing was in the 1st 40. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) constantly makes metres when trucking it up from the back and is a great broken play runner. Perhaps the broken hand dented his confidence a bit?
