Hasn't McKenzie made it obvious that he considers Slipper to be a LHP at Wallaby level. Deans was of the same mindset. If not, surely McKenzie would have selected him straight away as his Wallaby THP, particularly after Alexander's issues in the 3rd Lions Test.

Usually the one playing behind the most dominant pack at the time.

Please don't get this 'used to be' BS started again

And the making of many others.

It's the Uni bench that too often proves the difference.

And don't forget "a dog ate my homework" too. The All Blacks have consistently beaten us for many years. Don't confuse effort with outcome. The Wallabies are trying hard but just aren't good enough at the moment. My sense is that the All Blacks still have another gear that they haven't been...

At the moment the other mob are simply too good.

I'm a massive fan of Genia but at the moment he has a longer wind up than Tony Abbott

Any good ones?

Hey Strokeside, are you referring to Snort's valid point about Uni thrashing Randwick by close to 100 points or something else?

Bingo.

Did you watch the test? NZ played down JOC (James O'Connor) and Smith's side the whole match, and Smith scored 3 tries. 2 reasons why they did that - JOC (James O'Connor) hadn't played wing for some time and when he did he played right wing. No winger has defensively outpointed JOC (James O'Connor) when he's played on the right wing.

Folau needs to stay on the wing. At fullback the AB's will have him exhausted with their kicking game, and he'll have zero energy for attack. He's a huge physical specimen and the prototype for a fullback today is a smaller, lighter and more nimble mover like Halfpenny or Dagg......O'Connor...

Fatigue seems to be our greatest enemy. When we tire we lapse back into the same habits of directionless kicking, isolated cross field running, high risk cut-out passes and forced passes instead of toughing it out and having faith in each other that they can get set and go again. We get...

DB, you seem like you follow club rugby very closely. What you say is true about 1st grade but typically they dominate the minor premiership in lower grades and colts. Sydney Uni manipulate their playing lists throughout the year. In club rounds where an opposition club might have a...

Here's an idea. Sydney Uni have outgrown club rugby in Sydney. When Uni beats Randwick 78-0 in 1st grade and 103-5 in a 1st Colt's semi-final on the same day, it's clear there is an issue. If the Club Rugby administrators can't or won't make changes for season 2014 then the other 11 clubs should...

The All Blacks?

Silly comment HJ, Link has been in and around test match footy for close to 20 years as a player, assistant coach and now head coach. He is grounded and a realist, just what we need at this time.
