Beale is great, sure, but if someone could txt him to let him know 1) Pointless grubbers that turnover possession are not a mandatory part of every game and, 2) He is not playing for the rebels yet, he does not need to create and finish a try scoring opportunity within a single touch. Patience!

Samo looked to have blown up after his try, and he wasn't the only wallaby forward to completely spend themselves going at it. Just love that they (the wallabies) figured this out - there is no such thing as a canter in a game against the ABs if you want to stay in the race. Having a pack that...

Vickerman was amazing, his impacts on the rucks were precise but immense.

I'm getting to like Kev Horwill's weights program. Lifting big fucking cups every few weeks.

Crikey, is it the beer goggles or has Ma'afu been on the diet shakes? He looks positively svelte!

Did you see McCaw head-butt Quade's knee in that second half? A new low for the AB captain.

Sub! Sub! Fresh energy required.

Jimmy Horwill is talking up a storm in the sheds

Three weeks ago wasn't too early? >:D

Cooper appears to have more indicators of suspected concussion, even though he is very good at avoiding head knocks. Or maybe it's just too late for him.

I like the side better, in that Taps and Foley are the future, as compared to Gerrard and Gits. Not to diss either either of the latter. Nice for Holmes also. Daley still not 100%?

Higgers start - Possible but risky.

That on it's own cannot be considered a negative - in fact, it might be considered a marker of success.

Nucifora has certainly had the midas touch.

I wonder if the ARU are stuck on the Deans experiment because of rugby politics and perceptions. Objectively it is hard to say the wallabies are moving forward, unless you mean in the Julia Gillard sense, and Deans has been spectacularly ordinary in terms of results. So why rush to sign him up...

Jesus, he's no John Smit.

How easy is that? If you pick him and then say 'oh, he isn't fit' and then sub him out when he is no more or less fit this week than in a fortnight, it seems that naming sides on Thursday is no obstacle to replacing any player, and open to abuse.

Good news, McCabe wasn't cited:

I thought he made his point reasonably well, he was just talking to the wrong ref. Not his fault. Still can't believe he got called for a dangerous tackle early on - it was a good one. Chances are McCabe will get an enforced break for the tackle just afterwards.
