    Third solution is for Moore to have done a J. Eales. "No Sir, you will listen or I will lead my team off the park or we will deal with the issues like Franks directly since you will not."

    I've just worked out that Poite is saying his eyes up up further. Franks goes "up here?" and moves hand higher, Poite says "yeah that it you got the Crim now?"

    Doesn't want to be the whinging loser? or seen as soft? Look at the vision Shiggins posted on the previous page and you will see after this Franks takes a grip around Douglas' throat. Unless there has been some serious CGI there is no defence at all. And even worse for Poite and citing...

    Apparently its a non-event because Douglas kept his cool. Right Kane now you know, run out in the next game and punch the fat bastard and make it good. It is indefensible and anybody doing so condones it. There is no way it is accidental and after the facial incident he clearly grabs Douglas in...

    So Reid, Smith and Cane talking to him constantly was picking their moment. All 80 of them. Hansen has about as much integrity as Franks. Wallabies should display the appropriate level of respect for the Abs defending Franks. Sit down during the Haka and turn their backs on the anthem. F&^%$...

    Thanks you Shiggins, That is what I thought I saw last night. Those were deliberate actions and should have been punished. Whether or not he actually attacked the eyes is irrelevant, he actively and intentionally made contact with the head and face. At the very least it gets the same sanction...

    NZRU has history with foul players getting away with shit at test level and lauding them for it. Meads, Loe and Bunce. Everyone remembers Michael Brial doing his nut at Bunce but few remember the incident which fuelled Brial's brain snap to try for the square up. Meads supposed hard man rips a...

    Ah sarcasm the lowest form of wit. At least make some attempt to comprehend the issue under discussion if you want to post on something beyond the superficial.

    Yes I did, and they actually have a functional attack within their usual parameters and defensive system. Add to that a good lineout and reasonable scrum (given they were against the Pumas) they have their basics covered. As fore "slightly fix up", Mr Grey your easy to fix defensive issues...

    Bledisloe 2 - Wallabies vs All Blacks, Wellington, 27 August 2016

    No. Have a look at the instances they dropped it, to say that is giving too much credit to the Wallabies defence. They still missed 30+ tackles. Is that an improvement on 30+ and 6 tries last week. edit:- the lift in intensity makes it appear better is all. They looked lazy last week and got...

    How can you say that when as I said it appears to be the structure that Larkham likes with To'omua (a noted defender) being used in similar fashion from 10 at the Brumbies and Foley also when he was at 10?

    No the defence was not better. It was as bad. The structures remain bad. The intensity lifted is all, and the ABs dropped more pill. The Wallabies conceded 4 tries instead of 6 on a wet night. It was not better or worse, technically just as bad.

    Form is the killer and I'm not seeing the structural basis for anything from the Wallabies. They have had 5 games with zero fundamental improvement, just a lift intensity in the last.

    How to fix the wallabies

    If I am the president of the club what is my first responsibility? What am I ethically bound to do? If I am the donor and I go to a CLUB president offering money who am I targeting? If I go to the organisers of the Competition on the other hand. Sorry Wamberal you hypothetical is crap.

    Your kidding aren't you. The Wallabies will be lucky to win against Argentina in Australia. I give them at best a 30% chance against the Bok in Brisbane and no chance at all in SA or Arg.

    Some footage shows contact with the face. AFTER Poite told him to get away from the head. ARU is that incompetent they probably didn't even remember the game was on or were too worries that their canapé's were not up to standard so I wouldn't hold out that as proof of anything.

    He was dropping back as Foley had been been into a second 15 role. I don't think it can be said it was to shield Cooper when Foley has been doing it consistently under Larkham and To'omua as well at the Brumbies. Looks like a structural thing that obviously works so well.....:rolleyes:

    Oh and I meant to add in my Part two, the NZ crowds are boorish and deserve a collective mooning of the sort dished out by the Scots to the English in Braveheart. Continuing to boo Cooper and other assorted parts of the game. What a bunch of Bogans.
