The match between these two at the 2003 RWC still ranks as one of the best matches I have seen.

You would need a sail maker to knock up the blokes jersey.

Are his boots custom made? It looks from that shot that Skelton has been instructed to take that ball. Terrible waste of that overlap and god only knows the potential if Skelton ran support round Foley and joined that overlap. Makes for one hell of a scary inside ball option, that's for sure...

Skelton looks in motion ready to make an impact whereas Foley looks flat footed and not ready to receive the pill.

Who will run the defence? All good to be decent defenders but who gels them into one unit.

Forget a putting together a first 15 then. We should be aiming for world domination.

It is all to easy to blame individual players but as a team we played a shocker. My god the Skelton substitution was a shocker. It ripped the guts out of an all important team dynamic and we struggled massively from that point on. Our lineout died with that replacement. McCalman and Simmons...

I remember when Jake White first played him at 13. The trial last year vs the Force in Darwin. He was unstoppable in the way he is playing now. Just brutal in contact. He left a tail of defenders on his arse that night. We haven't seen a center in Australia with his level of physicality...

I can't speak for other peoples clubs but getting club funds for the juniors is always a bitch. The seniors think they are the be all end all of the club. We separated the juniors and the seniors some years back and played under the same club logo and colors but established different commitees...

Fox sports were reporting on Beale this morning. I also rate Shatz but he isn't a like for like replacement for Higgers. More a McCalman type player in my view. I would of liked to have seen them back some smokey's out of the NRC to send over. Holloway for Higgers and Kuindrani rather than...

Some of the wounds in the fan base were starting to mend, then they do this. It is just really stupid on their part. If banging ones head against a brick wall was a sport, so many of us rugby tragic's would be athletes.

I think Scotland can do it. They will need to play basic because all to often skill lets them down rather than intent. I think the Scots do have the pack to take it up to the AB's physically. They will need to rattle them here to put them off their game.

I'm glad they backed him. Would have not been flash for a young players confidence to drop him. I'm sure he would have had a week of coaches in his ear. I think he could really have a lot to offer playing the French.

Not sure Paarl. I don't think it looks as bad as you are making it out. It looked like they took the Irish lightly and payed the price. This kick up the arse is just the tonic. I hope Meyer don't shit the bed and bring in a heap of chicken runners. You got good talent in SA without them.

I think he means the Nordic Hansen's. Not James but Sven.;)

To funny. Give yourself an uppercut.

3/ Fainga'a 2/ McCalman 1/ Phipps

We can't take France lightly. The bastards are just to unpredictable at the end of the day. I would like to see Jones get a crack at that 6 jersey. Two locks on the bench is just plain stupid. Cooper comes onto the bench. Saia starts. It isn't broken so you don't fix it.

So, so easy to judge these things with hindsight. I don't think it was the wrong decision. For the record I think Cooper would of made the same decision. I don't think it was a greatly executed kick but that also is one of those things that are easy to judge with hindsight.

Regarding that drop goal am I the only one that thinks it was a sensational team effort over multiple phases. It didn't look like a spare of the moment thing.
