I'm not. I'm very relaxed. :-) I like the coach. I like the team. I like the Wallabies. :-)

You're the one getting "carried away" when you come out with such condescending tosh as "once he actually wins something (meaningful)". And that's just the bar for for you sucking his dick. You really are one negative hombre.

Well, he has won the Heineken Cup, the Super 15 and the Rugby Championship.

Mate, lighten up. I'm joking. It's not as horrible as it seems.

Mate, I'm not a Wallaby insider. All I'm sayin' is that it takes two to play bullshit bingo: one to pretend they believe what they say, and one to pretend they believe what they hear. If you really do believe Cheika didn't know about bonus points, and aren't just strenuously contorting...

Better get used to the Cheika bullshit bingo, because he's always been the same. If anyone really thinks he didn't know about bonus points, it's them that's being a dumbass.

Of course he understands the importance of bonus points. Of course he was pissed off that we didn't get one. Of course he was going to say what he said. None of that is "private". Everyone knows it, but are pretending not to, for the sport of ridiculing the coach. But we can keep it to...

I think if you can find anyone here who is confident that we can run the table, then you're reading a different thread. And if you're confident that you can discern a tournament strategy from post-game comments, then good luck to you! Cheika is a noted bullshitter. But on your actual point...

galumay, I don't think there's even been a Cheika team where players weren't fighting continuously for a place on form. Phipps, Cooper, Skelton and To'omua are all possible starters against England. A blinding display by any of the three wingers on display could see them on the bench or better...

There's some Wobs fighting for a starting position.

Wales' 2nd half cement was free flowing and extra gritty.

I'm not banking on anything. I'm just saying that England isn't a must-win for us if we beat Wales. If that happens then we'll slug it out with Wales on bonus points, but Wales will have to get ahead of us on the table. Equal table points aren't enough, since the head-to-head winner goes...

I'd be very surprised in we finished third in that scenario. Wales and Fiji would both be on two wins, and we'd be on three wins. We'd have to score no BPs at all for Wales to be able to overtake us, and Fiji wouldn't be able to. Are there any more unlikely future disasters for us to fret...

Nah, there are plenty of permutations where we go through if we lose to England. In that case our main danger is now Wales. Wales not getting a BP today is therefore good news. Remember that if we beat Wales and are tied on the table, we go through. England is a must-win for topping the...

Nah, scapegoats are animals found mainly in the southern hemisphere. They're bemoaning the lack of subsequent execution by a side that feels it has the world's strongest setpiece.

Him and the rest of the Welsh population. Bless 'em all on this beautiful day.

There is a system. World Rugby will get about $400m from the tournament. They'll keep a management fee and disburse the rest to the teams according to agreed percentages. The host nation gets to keep the gate receipts and pays World Rugby about $80m of that, which goes into the pot. Even the...

We were talking about the McPooper: McMahon, Pocock and Hooper on at the same time.

Yeah but that's what all the players were saying. Simmons said he needed to recover in the post-game interview, even though Cheika already said he'd play a different XV, and the teams have been traiing seperately. It's just games.

More likely McMahon 8 and Mumm 6. Both are reasonably experienced in those positions.
