May the best team win. And what Daz said.

I'd like to think theres no individual player we are stuffed without. Cooper -> Barnes, Genia-> Burgess is far from silly. No O'Connor? We have options but damn that would hurt. Pocock? I think we are taking him for granted. For whatever reason we don't have a back up player that comes even...

I agree with Skippy. And of course this is precisely what we have seen from Pocock - a huge amount of tackling and breakdown work. Turnovers happen and we all want them, but the real value Pocock brings under current rule interpretation is in defense by tackling and slowing the attack. His...

Can't be blicks supporters they are all humility and quietness. I expect it is an Aussie conspiracy to make kiwis look bad. Ask them to say 'suks uz bad for ewe.'

Was so the players could spend the week focused upon the coming game for at Suncorp apparently. Makes a lot of sense, esp if you are going to change Captain, and gives our team another week to gel.

Well, lets see; Nothing except consistence in performance. Its the nature of rugby that all teams are in a state of flux. Even the current ABs, arguably one of the most successful rugby teams ever, could not claim such a thing. Comprehensible selection in ALL matches If there is one thing...

I fear you are doomed to disappointment well past the current coach Gnostic.

Even NZ has had lean years with kickers. To turn the question on its head - when tries are the lifeblood of the game for spectators, why is kicking scored so highly?

Lots of factors, family mainly I'd think. Lions tour coming too. If he does decide to do the superannuation thing - fair enough - but I think he'd seriously limit his prospects at being in the Wallabies for that tour. I can see him staying and wanting to play Tahs.

Doubt this also, he has had his critics but Gits always gives 100% on the field. Pure competitor. If anything he'd relish the chance to play a blinder I expect.

You'd be a hard man to please Scarf!

training session with Timani.

Think he was referring to Ant.

My take would be that he is in, but feels for the team mates that miss out.

Not a big fan of Gits play, but surely no person is suggesting we lost v Samoa because of Gits. It might not have been his finest hour, but that loss was a collective one, if anything the forwards were responsible - and Samoa, who played at a whole new level IMO. Re Barnes head injuries, it's...

Happily for me the Deans lineup pretty much is my RWC pick, other than having wanted to see T C at least get a shot and not being sold on MaAfu. So many people on this forum seem to want game break attackers at every position. We need to straighten our attack, and a core defense that stops us...

I think a lot will come down to; a 12 vs 13 backs b does Deans want 2 proven wingers in reserve, ie Mitchell, Turner. If it's 12/2 wingers Gits only chance is injury call up I think, otherwise he sneaks in.

Had McCabe then switched to AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 8/ Was expecting more pick and go given last week for Centres to feed off; agonised over him and AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) and decided AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) had a better shot as an attacking centre. Bloody annoying. Was also expecting one of Ioane or JOC (James O'Connor) to make some good moves on inside channels...

3. Moore 2. McCabe 1. Elsom HM Sharp, A Fainga'a, Samo, O'Connor Good to see our guys handle the confrontation.
