I agree with gagger I would like Stannard to be a regular in our team like Gollings is for England & that bald bloke for NZ.

The Myth was cited last year for a cheap shot on George Smith in Tokyo & missed the 1st game of the NH tour.

ITM cup form doesn't count. What I saw of Fruen in the Super 14 didn't impress all that much I thought he struggled in defence when it come to reading the game. Ellis over Genia?

Based on last years super 14? No way Fruean was a bit of a turnstyle in defence & Guildford went backwards from 2009. Hynes v Dagg is impossible to pick.

Yes

I think Jimmy killed is own "hard man" hype when he tried to hit Van Humphries but all he could muster was a limp wrist I think even he must have realized that he should just stick to rugby after that effort.

Let's not write off the Bulls & Stormers either but anyway just for fun I'll put my team in Red for a man for man match up in the backline. 9. Ellis v Genia - Reds 10. Carter v Cooper - Saders 11. Maitland v ioane - Reds 12. SBW - Fainga'a - Even 13. Fruean - Chambers - Reds 14. Guildford...

It's not Fox sports it's the English Rugby union & BBC demanding big money.

As expected, considering McCaw is captain & they just lost the game + cooper is a bit of a twat.

I definitely think Mccaw as an individual has become more cranky with playing the Wallabies especially in Sydney & Honkers I saw him pointing fingers & getting involved in niggle. I believe Pocock has him rattled as you could see by the way he kicked out at the scrum in the 1st half.

gotta have setanta or you'll only be watching highlights with the rest of us. All blacks by 21.

Yes.

Definitely rest Pocock, Genia & Elsom all the others should be good to go with Slipper starting for Robinson.

Considering the wages they're on we'd probably only dish out fines of $4 a day for each pound over.

2011 will be best of two but outside of world cup years they should have two of the three games fall under the Four nations ladder & the 3rd game which would have no bearing on the Four Nations table & played at the end of the four nations only.

I did see McCaw kick out at Quade at around the 47th minute when McCaw gave away a penalty & Giteau missed the kick. McCaw entered from the side & Quade cleaned him out & after the whistle blew McCaw kicked Quade in the knee.

I think Kurtley himself has shouldered a lot of responsibility in getting himself in to great shape & from what he said at the John Eales medal he's surrounded himself with better people also. The way he's playing I can't really see him dropping his bundle now.

Go Easy what if we meet England & choke again? One game at a time still a long way to go.

Just had to add to this thread as I have become a massive Kurtley Beale fan I think he is up there with Pocock in superstar status I never thought he would be this good after all the hype from his early days I thought he would be a flop. Since dropping the kilos & trimming the fat he has...

Have Larkham teach him, Larkham was a good defender & he played the same position stands about the same height & is actually lighter as well. But if we go the body guard style then it's Bam Bam one side & Barnes the other.
