Giteau has been pulled from the barbarians squad - stated unavailable. Good chance he could be number 22.

no. he can't play for another country ever. too many exclamation marks

AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) to the wing, AFaainga to 13 and gits to the bench? not a bad call.

didn't look all that flash in either of the USA games. contrast him with DTH Van de Merwe outside him and its like men and boys. DTH runs great lines, great hands, great pace and good foot skills. Scholtz just seems to run straight and make some of his tackles. I think he's a weak link in the...

agreed it's part of the game's history. if the wallabies don't beat the all blacks because the ab's do the haka you have more serious things to worry about. that goes for any team. if you think its only serves to jack up the kiwis at the expense of the wallabies(or whoever) you're off it. i...

missing the whole world cup is extreme and would just make the ARU look stupid i think. but i do think give him an extra game suspension and you wouldnt be wrong. that said, i'm happy he'll be missing this game as punishment and if that's as far as it goes, it's enough.

I think it should have been two games. keep him out for the italy game in the WC to really punish him (missing the opening world cup game would not be fun) and in the mean time make him play club rugby. that way you make him sweat a bit, as by then drew mitchell is probably in the team for the...

I can't see stirling, delve, and gerrard having any interest in those boys acting like petulant little brats. i can foresee delve punching one of them at training at some point in the year! I hope they sort it out and the seniors lay down the law at the start. Given the reaction to danny...

the presistant use of huxley throughout the year really frustrated me. There seemed to be some emotional attachment to him by big bad Rod. Yes he's experienced, but it didn't seem to count for much in the final 2/3 of the season. Rooney was never going to go anywhere. he played some good...

you'd have to think that an injury to any of Barnes, McCabe, A Faainga or Cooper and you'd see giteau come in. anyone who plays the 10/12 role. if an outside back goes down, Turner probably comes in. Would love to see gerrard baxter and gits all get their swansong in aussie colours.

if you want a genuine winger, why would you put AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) there?? I think the concern with JOC (James O'Connor) at 12 is really just a size issue. he's still young with a lot of physical development to go through and it's hard to see him matching up physically with Nonu, SBW, De Villiers. I don't see any other...

true, but if they are going to show it live online they are already filming it. timmy horan can't cost that much to commentate! hopefully they do. but glad they are showing it somewhere.

in the time slot there are no league games scheduled on fox sports. they are showing a replay of the first bledisloe in auckland and after that a replay of the 1980 bledisloe. who's going to be watching either of those games but us! show the baabaas game live!

all i know is he's australian and played for randwick. would be great if it was online (preferrably with commentary this time!) if not on fox sports.

game isn't being broadcast by fox sports by the look of it. ITM cup game is on instead, which is a shame! watched the second canada/usa game online on sunday afternoon universalsports.com for anyone interested. bit of a sloppy affair. our lineouts are atrocious, though our scrums were quite...

agreed. no way JOC (James O'Connor) is playing in that game. he'll be playing the next night. I think Gerrard will be fullback with Mitchell, Horne and Barnes all playing, but i'd guess we'll see someone a bit more random on the other wing and at 12 (barnes playing 10). Pyle is overseas with the rebels so he...

Can't believe Chamberlain is only 24. looks at least 30! Big unit though. Looking forward to seeing him, delve, timmy davo, saffy and lipman causing some people a lot of pain next year.

with danny apparently keen to stick around, I just wonder who else shares my view that the rebels shouldn't resign him. stick JOC (James O'Connor) at 10, big mitch/Stirlo at 12, gerrard at 13 and beale at 15. I really don't know that danny is needed, especially in the starting line up.

have a look at the 46 minute mark. ABs are attacking near the goal line, ball gets spun wide to reid, who juggles with it (eventually dropping it backwards). Cooper is marking up against reid and rather than lining him up and smacking him, cooper goes for an intercept and tries to pick the ball...
