So if deans stays on for the next two years, I think its pretty clear he is going to need new assistants. I don't think the bloke doing the defense has done that bad a job, especially considering he's moving players around to account for quade. But beyond that, I don't see how we can persist...

I agree that our commentators are a bit horrible. But what benny said was just to butter up bryce for the next game. I was reported that Bryce himself even apologised to the Australasian camp as on review it was found that something like 3 of the scrum penalties we conceded were the incorrect...

Surely if france get their shit in order post world cup they will be up there with the best. Bucket loads of potential.

I agree about burgo. I dont know what has happened to genia but he has been hot and cold ever since the 2010 reds campaign.

Why not, what do we have to lose. His hamstring should have come good by game time.

In writing this I have started to question what motivates players and what the Australian jersey really means. Some would say this game is meaningless, that it is a waste of time and you know at times I would probably agree. But the more I think about it the more I think this game is one of the...

Can we just fuck this thread off and lick our wounds for a week.

I agree with you in parts. Im not really up for an argument at this point in time. I dont think he was the player we needed tonight, the same could be said of the whole team. I'll leave it at that.

We were never going to win the world cup with mccabe in the starting team. Its not that he didn't try hard or do what was asked of him, he just wasn't good enough. It was evident to all and sundry against ireland, and again tonight when he neglected to throw that pass. It not his fault, he...

Can I just say congrats to graham henry. Produced a fantastic team both on and off the field. It must take a lot to come back from that loss in 07 and it would have been easy for him to walk away from it all but he didn't and now he is getting his reward. Michael jordan once said: "I've missed...

Beaten by a better team.

We already have though, this is the thing. The 'criminalisation' of rucking, and the gradual introduction of the power hit in scrums, have led to a situation where the ball is only in play for 29 of the 80 minutes. There are too many opportunities for players to infringe, and it is slowing the...

I think its the worst WC for referee performance.

I dont think at this point in time we will win. But you never know with this team, they have the potential to beat anyone, and as someone said after the Brisbane test, "we know now that when we play with that intensity no team in the world can handle us"

Regardless of the red card, wales still had it in them to win with 14 men. They just played dumb rugby. No brain, no win.

Phillips waiting 3 seconds longer than he should of at every ruck so jones could realign is what sunk wales in the second half. If you can't beat such a poor french team you dont deserve to win the cup - or even play in the final.

How poor did Wales play. Having 14 men didnt lose it for them, the halves combination (and at time the mobility of the forwards), is what lost it. Phillips and Jones, wrong options all night. There is a lesson in this for australia - always chase your fucking kicks.

So whose for advanceing the haka this weekend? If there ever was a time to do it. It's now.

Dont be silly tocc, the reason no one watches the tah's is because they are all at the game, right?

2012 is going to be a fine vintage in the niggle department. We're currently in that stage where the tahs look set to win the comp easily with their mature squad of proven quality players. I can see it now: "Those young hooligans from north of the border with their mastering of basic skills...
