Yet again Deans' and/or The Wallabies lack of a Plan B was evident. Surely there comes a time when hundreds of cross field pick n drives for zero result would encourage a different approach. Not sure whether to get angry or just be sad after this effort.

Re scoring tries the formula for me looks a little like; Intent + Capability + Execution = Tries When we break each of these 3 elements down; Intent - we seem to have been playing not to lose, and playing for penalties from field position....4/10? Capability - due to injuries, poor form/fitness...

Agree with you TBH, and also remember BO'D's try from a scrum against the Wallabies in Ireland, and some of the AB's recent set piece tries against us too. The RWC try the AB's scored from the lineout being split was a beauty. Simple is often best - a slight of hand, a run around, a shift in...

The French will be keen to revenge their thrashing by the Wallabies a couple of years ago. Beware the wounded Frog.

Do you remember how many of those he played with Nick Phipps as his half Bruce?

Good 9's must haves; - MUST be able to pass off the deck BOTH ways at the right speed and accuracy. - Know when to hold em and know when to fold em, re run/pass/kick options. - Be durable. He will need to run it and he will be run over at times. - Be a competitor, your team will feed off your...

Sorry to offend you Robbie.

Have we found him?

Yes, it's no secret that Jim McKay has been the architect of the Reds running style of rugby. Hopefully Ewen understands that too.

Nup, the Australian way is having a crack and going for it, particularly when we're down and out, tired and sore and have heaps of players missing. I don't want to see any more conservatism from Deans. He should be working in a library or for the National Trust were his approach is better...

Ewen is very conservative by nature. Poor experiences and outcomes at NSW & Stade Francais will be uppermost in his mind, even more so than his success at the Reds, when considering his next move. IF, and it's a big IF, Deans survives, and perhaps Cheika quickly turns around NSW, Ewen will have...

I think we'd all agree that the pace of a player's development varies from player to player. Kane has now had a taste of the big time and most of the next stage of his development will be in his hands. He can rest up in the off season and feel content about his 2012 season OR bust his arse (like...

The AFL & ARL are eating our lunch and I cannot see it getting better in the foreseeable future. They have real money and independent commissions and if they even cared, would be laughing at the directionless ineptitude of ARU leadership. JON will leave our game in financial stress, without a...

Is there any recognition or acceptance by the IRB that they are in the entertainment business and not just overseeing a sport? If YES, then what steps are they planning to take with the rules, so as to allow more attractive and entertaining rugby to be played?

.........and a quality 9, and a forward who can and wants to, hurt people on a sustainable basis.

It's Round 3 of the "Sawing Saw Dust Competition" and I put forward to the honourable judge that the said defendant Mr Ross was referring, at all times to the Rugby team, not the province...hence Leinster is in Dublin. In addition I am able to proffer a local survey where 107.18% of respondents...

Bruce, maybe you're still celebrating Uni's win or have had a few pints of Guinness this morning. Leinster is in Dublin, which is in Ireland, not Northern Ireland. Hence the British & Irish Lions. Otherwise all good.

It does beg the question though of why he hasn't backed himself to gain a starting position somewhere else. It's his 9th year with the Tahs in 2013, so; a) Does he think he'll crack a starting spot in 2013.......doubt it with 3 test props ahead of him. OR b) He's simply happy playing 4th...

CCC used to use all the left overs in their Ugly ranges

Waratahs need at least 1 class halfback on their roster, a fit Horn to replace Carter, and a running fullback to replace Barnes.
