And yes I know from personal experience it's no fun when journos are trying to back you into a corner, but when do Wallaby's go into media situations unprepped? I don't know what the circumstances were of Foley's encounter, but I don't think this was an ambush.

Foley's comments though were somewhat misguided when he hoped Beale would get a "just hearing". To me that raises more questions about what Foley thinks about this process. That has nothing to do about standing by a mate. Foley could have quite easily said, "Beale is a friend and a teammate...

There is also the media game that is going on, which isn't just reporting but agenda driven.

Not a fan of Palmy hawktrain? I quite liked it there. Has a big country town feel Great result and great to see the Palmy crowd go off. Tongia definitely had the right idea in my view. Had a couple outsides running on and a bit of space to work with BUT given his league background, I think he...

"ACT Crusader has learned that the script was sent by text, but nobody knows who sent and the lines have been changed by an unknown third party"

Wilson appears to be doing some classic journalistic backpedalling of her own in that article. To me she has realised her staunch leaning towards the 'Beale position' is unsustainable. BUT, she chimes in at the end with another one of those Daily Tele exclusives. To my mind she hasn't...

Tasman and Manawatu is who I'll be cheering for. What is great is that the 2 best sides from each division are in the finals and that both games should be good with plenty of drama.

It takes a haka thread to get naza back??? :)

Just like we did in a certain final in 95 too aye MR :)

It's got nothing to do with him being a Sader, I've been a fan of Dagg since he first started running around for HB and then after his first season with the Landers was calling for him to be in the ABs. So it's not "personal" at all. On the other hand, over on the Fern and here you keep saying...

Never seen Fiji, Tonga or Manu Samoa play a test match?

Except Rudd was a megalomaniac when he had the top job and from all reports and reliable 'sauces' McKenzie wasn't.

Keep the faith BM. Only way is up from here.

If I recall the first time tracksuits were employed, Gregan was still playing. Then there were the tackle bags.

Keep that (broken) record going Frank. Bet you were seething to see the name I. Dagg on that EOYT squad list. Just wondering if you've sent that angry email to Hansen and Fox for not seeing what you think has been clear as daylight for ages. It must be some kind of conspiracy surely that he...

Who??? :)

Squad selected. Those that didn't feature in the RC/Bledisloe series in red.

In theory going beyond 3 does allow you to push the envelope defensively and put pressure on the other side to 'make the play'. What I noticed was that the Wallabies were really struggling to keep up with the pace of the game in the last 5-7 minutes. Things looked disorganised and I remember...

I'm an All Black supporter, but I live in Australia and have followed OZ rugby almost as closely as AB rugby for 25 years. I like to see OZ rugby do well (don't mind a bit of banter as well), but something that continues to baffle me and I have never got in terms of the rhetoric around OZ rugby...

I'd give it to Blades for the EOYT and then for the ARU to do the hard sell around the world for a quality coach. That way if the EOYT gives good results you can say "look a the potential you've got to work with" or if it goes badly "we're at rock bottom, you're the right man to turn things...
