That is a pretty damn fine team right there.

This stuff really starts to get tiresome after a while.

Hamilton or Canberra please. If we have to travel to either Pretoria or Christchurch in the first week, there is a high probability that it will be curtains for our season.

You bloody monster. We are not 19th century England. Link will have to run the kicking tee himself.

What on earth are you on about? To say that a display of post match emotion was the confidence boost the Lions needed is a very long bow indeed. I would suggest that there is absolutely no correlation between the two. And to also suggest that a player is not a good leader because they...

I have a soft spot for Paddy Ryan though. If nothing else, he looks like a prop. Half the battle is won!

Looking from afar, it would seem that JO'C has had a lot to do with leading Beale astray. Beale should be able to make his own decisions, but I think he is really susceptible to suggestions from JO'C. If that is truly the case, then JO'C is no friend to Beale at all. If Beale is serious about...

As I said earlier, a quality THP and 1-2 reliable kickers are a must. I fear Alexander experienced his Matt Dunning moment on Saturday. So who do we have in the system that can be developed into a rock solid THP? Getting around the park is a bonus - I want a THP that lives and breathes scrums...

Great news! Ecstatic for Link, and like many others here, I have a general feeling that all is well with the world at the moment. It is totally irrational, but still.. Bring on the Rugby Championship!

I was just mulling over Deans' tenure as the Wallaby coach, and a few things struck me about him. Deans was terrified of failure. Whether that is a result of his personality, or there was some sort of background process, it manifested itself in his coaching style. I can't really comment on his...

There are some key areas that have been touched on and debated in this thread and others, and I want to bring them together in one post. Whether we want to accept it or not, two major aspects of rugby are scrums and kicking (both out of the hand and goal). There are many other elements that...

McGrath seems to be fighting a rearguard action, defending decisions made on his watch. But he also seems to be so far out of touch that he doesn't know up from down. Gatland just seems to be stirring the pot.

Funny thing about that Dan. I do agree with you, paddy is not representative, but.. The missus (who is half Irish) and I were on her facebook account this morning. Her Irish relatives are quite peeved by the BOD affair and have even asked my other half what the words to waltzing matilda are...

Dude you are one of the worst offenders of bringing politics into a rugby match thread! GO WALLABIES!!!

Oh Blue, have you ever considered a career in comedy? I tip my hat to you sir.

Yeah, I too don't understand the willingness to accept 60%. It is as if people are consigned to 60% no matter what we do, so we may as well give up trying to improve. To me, that logic makes absolutely no sense. I want to see the national team constantly striving to improve on their results. I...

My missus' Irish relatives are on facebook asking her how waltzing matilda goes! To say they are annoyed is an understatement.
