Deans record against the AB's is poor but let's not forget two wins in Paris, two wins @Twickers & two wins in SA & 1 of those on the highveldt. Ok the loss at Murrayfield & the loss against England in Sydney last year were real lowlights but I think Deans has made progress especially when...

I'm happy as McKenzie will now stay on at the Reds for two more seasons & a lot of our test players were pretty quick to put pen to paper so they must be happy playing under Deans.

I'll start with a whinge & that was Munro letting both SBW & Chicken Wing Flynn both get up & play on after being tackled & still having a hand on them. Probably wouldn't have warranted a mention other than Nick Cummins was penalised for the same offence no less then 20 minutes earlier JOC (James O'Connor)...

3. David Pocock 2. James O'Connor 1. Nathan Charles SM - Nick Cummins, Cameron Shepherd, Sam Wykes, Richard Brown

3. James Horwill 2. Luke Morahan 1. Scott Higginbotham SM- Will Genia

Agree Ali, Did notice him last after some good efforts off the bench but I think that's the 1st time I've seen him go the 80. He was in the Wallabies extened train on squad last year so Deans has already sighted his potential.

If this is based on the Reds game then we watched different games. I thought the ref had a very good game & the Reds should have put that game to bed when on attack with 3 minutes to play. 1st mistake- Quade kicking away possesion 2nd mistake - Morahan knock on 3rd mistake - Guy...

I think the saders have the upper hand in the scrum but Sharpe is the lineout king so the set piece should even out.

I'm Happy with AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) or Digby. Never judge AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) by his super rugby form as it seems the worse he plays for the Brumbies the better he plays for the Wallabies so he's in for a cracking test season.

Yep Spot on Richard, This has actually become the trend in the AFL now where teams (especially in WA & SA) are drafting players from the SAFL & WAFL at the age of 23-26 who are superstars in those leagues but missed the AFL draft when they were 17-18. I think it was Fremantle who had...

Finally just watched the replay on Fox & have to say that I was impressed by patty Dellit he had a very good game.

If we have to raid the Academy then I'd probably take Tevita Kuridrani for the backs & Kevin Davis as the prop. What's the go with Toua & Hynes does anyone know how long they'll be out for?

Agreed. Digby would be in my 15 but I like him @ 13 for test match footy as I also like AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) @ 13. If I had to pick either AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) or Digby for the wing then I'd go with AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) as he can kick & is safe under the high ball.

Good news, thanks Charger.

I had to make sure it wasn't April fools day when I first read this but even the mighty Crusaders are finding it hard to make up the numbers & this in an area that has it's own All Black factory line. Great chance for the Force to knock them over again especially with Sharpe calling the...

I'm putting my money on Shepherd to step into the vacant left wing position I think his game & skill set best fit the Wallabies back 3 style of play along with JOC (James O'Connor) & Beale. I think Ioane & AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) are better at 13 for the Wallabies as neither can spiral pass further than 10 metres & Ioane has no...

Same Forward pack as you Swarley but if Ioane is out then I'd like to see. 9. Genia 10. Cooper 11. Morahan 12. Fainga'a 13. Chambers 14. Davies 15. Harris. Res 16.Fainga'a 17.Shepherdson 18.Samo 19.Houston 20.Gill 21.Lucas 22.Toua/ Shipperley Not that Lucas has done anything wrong I...

My guess - Robbie Deans to coach on until Lions Tour.

Whats wrong with Ioane?
