Pre match remove all sharp objects and matches from your department too, just in case.

Great stuff Bruce. So how tough was Sir Nick Shehadie when he played 1st grade club rugby as a prop at 15 years of age? If only some (NOT ALL) of our Wallabies removed themselves from their fancy diets, scientific training and pampered cocoons to spent some time with the great man they'd gain a...

Did you wear those shorts where you inserted the square sponge into the inside pockets too? What about comic books down your socks?

Absolutely agree about the poor energy at Wallabies training. They wander around like drugged sheep and spend far too much time resting between drills. Whatever happened to short and sharp with intensity?

Every great sporting team spends the majority of their time on the basics. They practice it so well and often that consistent execution under pressure becomes the norm. The great Crusaders teams of 5-10 years ago used to dedicate whole training sessions to counter attacking. The team would...

What a great saying "Open a can of worms"........how do those slippery buggers breathe and survive in there?

Fair call, Barnes won some MOM awards for the Wallabies too....it can happen, a bit like that eclipse today and just as rare.

Do you know if teams receive 7 or 8 replacements now with this change?

It will interesting to see how coaches use this 4th prop option. Will they use it purposely or only "in the case of emergency break glass"? I assume it will depend on the quality of the replacement

Harvey cannot play at any level above club rugby. Even there he can easily be exposed. He's certainly not up to club finals footy, let alone Super Rugby or Pro rugby in Europe.

What would Joe the Cameraman say about Barnes? Can't run, can't make a break, can't play. The Wallabies Bus Driver would have made just as much impact as Barnes if he came on at that stage of the game. What did Barnes achieve, except to run aggressively across field and throw long passes or kick...

OK leave Deans there then........any idea how long Nucifora plans to stay around?

It's this State over Country BS that we need to move away from. Get the best possible coach in there to replace Deans asap.

Deans has not improved one facet of our game or a single player........I'm open to disagreement. Some might argue he's improved our depth BUT that's been more forced on him and not so much of his doing. None of his discoveries have become 'keepers' and gone on to be world class players. Who...

Good thoughts Brumbleman and would like to see a balanced response from an expert in this field to complement your piece. Slightly off topic but reminds me of Brad Thorn's gym workout that was on GAGR. His gym equipment looked to be straight out of the 1950's, raw and basic. Enough of the...

In one of the close up shots of a 1st half scrum engaging, Kepu hit and bounced back into a squat like sitting position. WTF was that about? If his spine was aligned properly and/or his lock was attached properly, this just couldn't happen. At one stage Robinson tried the dead man's drop and was...

South Africa have found their cheap shot replacement for Bakkies Botha.....Jannie du Plessis. Check out his dog acts against Ireland. His speciality is to run in and drop his shoulder into an unprotected player prone or caught on the ground. Watch him get Sexton around the 15 min mark, and...

A few ideas; - Give the Lions mobile phones on the Vodafone network - Shark diving at night - Grant them membership of an outlaw motorcycle club - Put them up in south-western Sydney or in the dorms at St Johns College in Sydney University - Let Qantas baggage handlers know their flight numbers...

We very rarely put 2 good or bad performances together in succession......Wallabies by 10.

If you get the chance, watch Simmons effort, or lack thereof just before his lifting tackle. He has been on the field maybe 90 seconds when France put up a midfield bomb. He turns, has a look at the ball in the air and then somehow decides not to go anywhere near catching it or contesting...
