Mate, one reason is that Beale is a 10/15. Giteau is a 12 who has unsuccessfully been played in a variety of positions, including 9 and 10. What Giteau is, is an international XV quality inside centre who has been down on both form and confidence for some time, and shuffled through the deck...

I agree. Way too many injuries to our Warallabies. You slot TPN, Baxter, Waugh, Palu, and Horne in and watch 'em go. Add Douglas, Mowen, and Hangers to the bench, with TC an honourable mention at 23rd man and we're right to go.

I'm not the #1 member of the Peter Hynes fan club, but I say hallelujah. RD won't play Turner, Shepherd's underdone, so Hynes will be the man to take JOC (James O'Connor) off the wing (and onto the bench). The kid's a goer but I've seen better positional play at U/10 level - he just doesn't know how to be a...

The trouble is, I don't WANT us to do that to the ABs. Cheap shots are cheap shots. And I would argue that the Woodcock cheap shot is a lot worse than the Mumm one, on the basis that Fainga'a was at least involved in the play, and blatantly infringing. YC was the right penalty for that offence...

Magic, and sexual favours. That's my bet. Either that, or Hodgo has some serious issues that we don't know about. Like, he lost a leg.

I'm sorry, there is just something inherently wrong about the statement "I'm pumped for A Finger"

There's a crazy thought! I actually think that they ought to have it on...not a rotational basis, but a more evenly shared basis. The Uni slack has just been taken by Wicks, Rats et al this year. I would genuinely like to see Parra and Penrith from time to time, etc. Gordon and Wests certainly...

http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/union-news/Fainga'a-twins-to-start-for-the-wallabies-20100805-11ixg.html TBH only thing I would have done differently (with this current squad) is drop Brown for Hodgo. If we lose again, I expect the poorer of Mumm and Sharpe to go, but RD has one serious hardon...

Oh sorry, never mind. Bend away! :D

Cause you know, they've featured so heavily this year...

Pray tell HOW he should magically have acquired this knowledge? Osmosis? He was in the bin when all that happened. Neither Rocky, nor Deans, nor any other player made mention of it to him, then he fucked up. Regardless of the warning, he didn't need to do it then, but he's not a bloody psychic.

Zomg, you're saying it's true. PdV was right! POB is executing a dastardly plan to rig the RWC for NZ :O I knew Pieter couldn't be wrong!

Interesting math. The 2YC/R was in 43rd min. So that's 37minutes. Plus 10 for the original "infringement" = ...30? Try 47 Paddy.

Social wankery? Dragged along by x/y/z? Free corporate tickets? But my #1 guess is social wankery. These days people go to the theatre to talk and to sport to shut up, the world's arse up. All we can do is yell and scream and say fuck the snobs.

Nah, Joubert made a number of wrong decisions both ways but was on the whole decent. He had zero _useful_ help from his touchies, but still kept the game going. I also have to say that, so long as he treads close enough to that line that the ref doesn't blow the pea out of the whistle, Richie...

Definitely Cat near side, albeit touch longer fungus than usual. I'd say Disco's right about it being Daley at THP but no idea who the blonde hooker is. Some skinny bugger at 8, too, and I hope locks crouch more for engagement or they'll teach those kids some horrible habits.

Yeah, except of course that this type of shit gets you a life ban...are you really prepared to sacrifice Rock? Would he be? If anyone, you'd go Salesi Ma'afu wouldn't you? The beef to do it, and not of high value to the side. However, I think you're missing the critical hit it would give Aus...

I preface what I say with "I'm a prop, but..." I'm not sure I agree. I think Elsom expected JOC (James O'Connor) to go inside, and given that the whole way along there JOC (James O'Connor) was running on/outside the sideline (your still backs me up) he certainly wasn't in a viable position. Wrapping inside would he had the gas...

Wait...so you hope that a potentially great centre stays hurt so that a different potentially great centre can play, because you tipped it? I think the state our game's in, death-riding any player, from David Pocock down to struggling first graders is a bad idea. No matter how honourable the motive.

People have put up some interesting choices in the backs, and it seems the easiest area to tinker with. Personally I would go with: 9. Genia (but he needs to lift) 10. Barnes (Gits is not a 5/8. Say it with me. Gits is NOT a 5/8) 11. Mitchell 12. AFainga'a (give direct play a go) 13. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 14...
