As the emblem attached to me suggests, I am Canadian. Before I moved to Australia 3 and a bit years ago, the only thing i'd heard of rugby league was that Lote Tuquri, Henry Paul, Wendell Sailor and Mat Rogers had all defected from it. I'd never seen a game of it before or knew that it was...

No chance Ashton wins it and I'd be surprised if he gets nominated. Kaino Roberts Pocock O'Brien there should be a saffer nominated I'd think. should be bismark, but he didnt get enough game time.

any names? i find that an interesting comment especially when you look at the sheer number of players who resigned with the ARU this year. to me that signals faith in the system and the management as opposed to a lack of it. Why did Sharpe not go over seas? he's nearing the end of his career...

still can't believe sharpe was overlooked for the game.....100th test and better than simmons at the moment. real kick in the teeth to not get selected for that and play your 100th test in the most meaningless game of your career.

Despite the fact that I do like deans. i really do question his undying faith in the youngins. Mortlock could've provided a steady hand and been used as a mentor..play him against russia and the usa and have him help out the younger guys in the big games. His dislike for sharpe is...

living in the glory days, FANATIC wallabies and the brumbies have moved on from the campaigns of 99 etc. brumbies rugby as you call it hasn't been played by either the brumbies or the wallabies in ages. well before deans' appointment, so i would hardly say the decline of said rugby is deans'...

maybe its a brumbies attitude thing would explain their super 15 campaign!

4 times. South Africa did it too.

Hard to blame the ref given the IRB memo sent out. that said, I would have liked to see him think through the decision for a bit longer. it seemed a bit rushed. he could have consulted his touchies or watched the replay. tough call for the ref though.

Gits is the only player i've ever heard of who doesn't like playing for deans.........

he's also argentine ;) I will admit. he definitely improved the scrum from previous years. even bring sommerville or du randt or someone of their ilk for a camp. someone to provide a different voice and view point, which i think the wallabies need.

Beau had his opportunity against samoa. didnt make the most of it and rightfully wasn't at the cup as a result. if he couldn't handle samoa, he wasn't going to handle ireland in pocock's absence. he should be backing up next year though. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) will still be in the squad next year. ditto QC (Quade Cooper) and...

Who is a qualified australian scrum coach? I say bring in Os Du Randt Greg Sommerville is no longer working and kicking around Aus - the man can scrummage. Stop getting bad aussie props to coach the aussie scrum.

gees he's old!! Kinghi would terrify defences with his running and kicking game if he came on at 65 minutes for will genia. and he's not a box kicker to boot! (pun intended)

I don't think robbie is going anywhere.

timing differences aside, i think we're saying the same thing: nucifora was the main man until deans stepped into the frame.

Where to from here? Cooper needs to develop a better head. fantastic player, but he is still immature on the field. If barnes won't be 12 under deans, then JOC (James O'Connor) has to move there. demand the rebels to play him at 12 so he can grow into the role. he is the best back in the team and must touch...

Precisely. Ewen had had a bad year his last outing in super rugby and was off in europe coaching stade. whilst he may have wanted it, he was not favourite. Nucifora who had had reasonable success with Auckland was favoured as an aussie coach. you can bag deans all you want, but at the time the...

by the definition in that memo, it fits the bill for a red card. he lifted him beyond the horizontal and dropped him. i think the drop was unintentional and that they just lost him once he got him up, but he still dropped him. that said, knowing it was 20 mins into a semi final. i dont see...
