The scrum became stable when Kepu came on. I don't want this to seem like I'm putting AAA down, but at this stage Kepu is a better scrummager.

KAOP, why don't you start a 'Foley is shit' thread, so I can never go on it.

I don't necessarily disagree with you Seb V, but it certainly makes the whole selection job easier when your best attacking backs can also tackle! I am not agreeing with the selections ( in fact, I would have Fardy, Carter and Cowan all in the 23, and a solid defender like Meakes or Hodge at...

Sio TPN AAA Coleman Arnold Hanigan Hooper Timani Phipps Foley Speight Meakes TK Folau Beale Robertson Moore Kepu Douglas McMahon Genia Hodge DHP The scrum was fine, no need to change any of the props, if someone suggested Uelese over Moore I would be fine with that. If Douglas can come on...

This will get plenty of criticism, but given Hanigan topped both the tackle count (with none missed) and the ruck involvement, perhaps he wasn't as anonymous as many here (including me) were suggesting. Certainly not much impact, but at least getting in and doing some work, unlike some others...

I'm not for a minute advocating dropping Folau, however to suggest he didn't miss Ioane is just rubbish, ffs I was there watching it! Folau is possibly the most damaging runner with the ball in Aus rugby, and I don't think there is anyone better in the world under the high ball, however his...

Okay KAOP, everything is Foley's fault, anyone who disagrees with you doesn't know what they're talking about, WE GET IT, but it's starting to get tedious. Write to Cheika, we don't pick the team!

Gel, I find it just a touch hypocritical that you can make comments like that re the people with a flower, and in the same post complain about provincialism!

Not disputing that Scrubber, just working out what options we have for next weekend.

Okay, for next Saturday, can anyone tell me the injury status of Hunt, Latu, Naivalu and DHP?

Having just got back from the game, a couple of comments (some in line with others here, others will be roundly criticised). Goes without saying that the defence in the first half was the worst I have ever seen from a Wallaby side, an absolute disgrace, and if Grey had any honour, he would be...

Agree with the above, poor form!

This decision, while it was always going to be, is a disgrace. The Force is exactly the sort of team we need, one that develops strong parochial support! Name a solitary advance the game has made under Pulver? I have played golf with Bill, he's a nice bloke, but if there was ever someone totally...

We need to move on from the Fardy at 6 thing, while he certainly would have been my choice, he's not in the squad, so he won't be there (and for the same reason nor will RHP). While it will upset many on here, 6 will most likely by Hanigan as with Timani at 8 we need another jumper, and Hanigan...

Anyone ho thinks the biggest problem the Tahs had in 2017 was captaincy didn't see the 2017 season!!

Scrubber, can you explain why the culture is going to get worse under Hooper?

There was almost no other decision to make. Of those in the squad, probably only Genia has captaincy experience at a high level among those certain to be selected, and he, at this point, is still playing overseas. People have mentioned the likes of Coleman and Foley, but you'd like to see them...

Gnostic, you always provide the benefit of making everyone else on GAGR look like an optimist!
