    2012 Rugby Championship Round 6 Game 2 Argentina vs Australia - 6 Oct

    Don't the Canadians count as a test side now? Sure, they aren't up there in the top tier but he played a full game against them & looked fucking fantastic! However, I don't want to see him thrown to the wolves at this point & can't wait to see him get his chance & make you eat your words on the...

    Quade telling it how it is

    I was going to post a picture of Grandpa Simpson saying that he used to be "with it" but then they changed what "it" was , now what I'm with isn't "it" and what's "it" seems weird & scary to me. It'll Happen To You! But being an early 40's generation X I don't know how to post a pic to posts...

    2012 Rugby Championship R5G1 Springbokke vs Wallabies @ the Bull Ring

    I agree with the whole first paragraph but what record has been set straight? It's the first one they've won in the last 7, there's still a way to catch up in the recent history. I'd also argue that a handful did show up but we just weren't up to the physical intensity of the Boks on the night.

    2012 Rugby Championship Round 5 Game 2 Argentina vs New Zealand - 29 September

    Cheers Dan. There is no doubting the passion & good nature of the Argentinian Rugby supporter. They're a fantastic addition to this tournament, a great point of difference & will sooner or later be true contenders. Long overdue but better late than never!

    2012 Rugby Championship Round 5 Game 2 Argentina vs New Zealand - 29 September

    They must behave differently at home than away, I saw 2 games at the WC last year & the game at the Coast two weeks ago they had a penchant for the French tradition of whistling when the opposition lines up for a kick. I agree they are very passionate & loyal supporters & create great...

    Quade telling it how it is

    I work in a trade & the Gen Y's I've worked with & trained don't show any or many of the traits described. It's too easy to put a label on a group, in fact it's a bit of a lazy cop out. I agree Hugh about there being these types in every generation who think the world owes them. Twitter & other...

    Yeah, what the hell, I'm feeling slightly confident Ninja. What are the conditions?:D

    2012 Rugby Championship R5G1 Springbokke vs Wallabies @ the Bull Ring

    I might be considered either a fool or very brave but I have a fiver on the Wallabies getting up here & a tenner on Beale scoring a try in the match (paying $7) I reckon the Wallabies are going to band together for this test after all the off field dramas (Thanks Quade) to prove a point & make...

    Quade telling it how it is

    He's alienated some of his biggest supporters to, me being one of them.

    Quade telling it how it is

    And that's exactly why I don't wanna go near it!

    Quade telling it how it is

    Pretty sure he was the flyhalf last two times we beat them.

    Quade telling it how it is

    If people are going to talk about comments made on twitter it'd be nice to actually see said comments.... I have no inclination of ever going near that abomination.

    Quade telling it how it is

    Yeah that comment is pretty indefensible & I definitely can't get behind that. I don't think he's a wanker though, he's just doesn't seem particularly bright away from a football.

    2012 Rugby Championship R5G1 Springbokke vs Wallabies @ the Bull Ring

    So much sarcasm around here these days :confused: I am well aware of the versatility of those players but I think it upsets the rhythm of the team if three or four players have to shift positions to accommodate an injury. The bench backs cover 2 maybe three positions at most. I would have...

    2012 Rugby Championship R5G1 Springbokke vs Wallabies @ the Bull Ring

    That bench is pretty skinny on versatility for the backs. Hope there are no injuries there.

    2012 Rugby Championship R5G1 Springbokke vs Wallabies @ the Bull Ring

    Fair enough Fatprop, I must admit the only times I saw him play this year was against the Reds, so I have fallen into the trap of valuing a player from early impressions. If he does get his chance for the Wallabies I'll watch with an open mind.
