Works wonders in 7s for every nation - our fast blokes just tend to be a step quicker than other teams' fast blokes up to this point. The USA 7s as it is now is really showing the quality of athlete left in the NFL/MLB/NBA/Olympics overflow and amongst the USA Rugby domestic pool but it's...

You should hear them trying to say Giteau's name :confused:

Eeesh, you're right - maybe I'm thinking of Super Rugby or something else? Have a pretty firm impression that he's been unreliable from the tee in a few games this year.

Barrett covers 15 as well as 10 and Sopoaga had a shocker at the tee v. South Africa. Slade also offers more positional balance to the squad with Naholo now being included, as well as a very solid goal-kicking option. Shag has more or less always held to playing guys back into form who have...

Good, because I'm way more worried about Slade than I'd ever be regarding Barritt.

If Cheika's gripe with Horwill was ball-carrying impact it makes absolutely zero sense that he'd prefer Carter.

Mate, I was never trying to compare the Douglas selection with JOC (James O'Connor)'s non-selection. I think the Douglas selection was fucking awful but no point in me blathering about it because it's not going to change anything.

Pretty sure QANTAS covers the flights.

I think this was already proposed a few pages back and by far makes the most sense considering how close together the Uruguay, Fiji, and England games are.

He was pretty terrible at 10 in 2013 - getting selected in a position by a coach doesn't make you the best in the position, or the second-best, or third-best.. Anyway, his personal form during Super Rugby this year really wasn't good enough to concretely warrant selection over the guys...

Even if we run Suniula/Niua our 12-13 and 13-15 channels are going to get abused heavily. If Palamo is in, the entire midfield becomes a liability.

Wallabies midfield should have a field day against whatever Tolkin rolls out for USA. We're going to get our asses kicked and I may live blog it again.

There's a lot of brownie points on offer with the Mrs. for watching hockey this year, so maybe after April rolls around (depending on how well her team does).

Well, this is shit. On the other hand, less early Saturday mornings in 2016 it looks like.

Cheika has said that it was part of the plan all along.

Not excited about Nabuli. We need real pace in the backs (and have for a while), not something he really has at any especially significant level. He's not slow but he's nowhere near the Rod Davies/Digby Ioane type "flyer" we have been sorely missing for so long. Seems to have a reputation...

Comment was based more on the selection of the two than the game itself. Have never really rated Kelly at this level. Tries hard but is missing a lot of the physical attributes you'd want to see in a test 13. Doesn't have the playmaking ability to make up the difference. Palamo is a talented...

The Reds are just finally rebuilding the squad to fit RG's vision.. obviously.. clearly.. have faith.. FUCK

Doesn't look like a punch to me, or a strike either. Sanchez needs to work on his acting. **I see I'm late to the party here but will keep these up for those who haven't seen them yet.**

QC (Quade Cooper) will always be one of ours.
