    New Zealand vs Australia - Bledisloe 2, 24th August 2013

    Well, the Wallabies are clearly still a work in progress. The All Blacks absorbed the pressure and picked their moments well. It didn't help that we made some really stupid mistakes. Peype had a rubbish game, but we should have adapted to that. I would be putting Folau at fullback, and I...

    Aus vs NZ - 1st Test Sydney 17Aug2013

    While I do agree that Genia's service was quite slow, he had no bodies in motion as viable passing options. Too often the backline was not ready for the ball, and the 'pod' of forwards consisted of one fatty who just happened to be in the way. The forwards are going to have to work a lot harder...

    Aus vs NZ - 1st Test Sydney 17Aug2013

    What really got up my nose last night was the inaccuracy at the breakdown. The AB backrow made themselves pests all night, as our guys arriving at the breakdown were woeful in their clean out. As a result, we didn't have quick ball as often as we would have liked. Our alignment was too slow at...

    Where to for quality Rugby journalism???

    I like it, but let's dress it up a little more. Throw a 'Sid' in front of it and you will have me converted. Although to be fair it was Johnny who did most of the ranting - maybe that could be the new nickname for Growden's next imaginary friend!

    Dear ARU.... Tell me what is wrong with these photos?

    Thought I would pop those photos in this thread. Seemed apt.

    Wallabies 31 Man Squad

    I didn't know that Scott Fardy looked like Berrick Barnes, porn Mo and all!

    Wallabies Squad - the Link Era

    Guys - drop the provincial crap, there is nothing beneficial to be gained from it. Dumbledore - I think Pyle is hard done by too, I have been wanting him to get the call up for the last two seasons. Simmons can count himself extremely lucky, although in his defence he has stopped a lot of the...

    Aus vs NZ - 1st Test Sydney 17Aug2013

    That's horrible for the players, especially if they are serious injuries. But the wallabies fan in me is saying 'phew'!

    Super rugby 2012 attendances

    Wow, apart from a few outliers crowds were down across the board this year.

    Wallabies Squad - the Link Era

    The key point for me is accuracy. To'omua is accurate, Quade can be inconsistent and Mogg can be pinpoint. However, I don't feel that JOC (James O'Connor) or Barnes are as accurate as those three, so more often than not a 50m kick lands in the breadbasket of the opposing fullback. Not to totally dismiss the...

    Aus vs NZ - 1st Test Sydney 17Aug2013

    I wouldn't be unhappy with that team. Add Gill to the bench to make up 23 and you're good to go!

    At the very least, he could have asked Robbie to dance the Tyburn Jig!

    Sorry Cyclo, it won't happen again!

    2013 Super Rugby Final - CHIEFS v BRUMBIES

    Apparently trying to disengage from an argument twice isn't clear enough. Go and read what both you and I have said and please don't bring it up again.

    Wallabies Squad - the Link Era

    Really Scotty, I called someone else out in another thread about this sort of stuff. It was the Super Final, so what? How has Mowen's form been over the last couple of years? How did Mowen go in June against the Lions? After travelling an ungodly distance in the space of a couple of weeks just...

    2013 Super Rugby Final - CHIEFS v BRUMBIES

    What the hell are you on about? Go back and read what I wrote again. I never insinuated that people wished the Brumbies to lose, I have no idea where you pulled that one from. My comments were more aimed at the lynching of Nic White. I done arguing with a brick wall.

    Springbok Squad for TRC

    Thanks for the info Brisbok Nyakane has had a pretty good season, and seems quite a capable prop. Pretty 'safe' squad picked there, and, as you said, to be expected. Meyer seems to go with what he knows and rarely deviates. Would have been nice to see Ebersohn get a run, but there are still a...
