Deans won't tinker to much from what we saw last night hopefully drop Giteau but he won't do that either.

Speculators we should never take as it would have been better to go the lineout & let our backs have a go. What makes those two speculators even worse was they turned down a sure 3 points later on & ended up scoring the 1st try off a tap.

Nah to many changes for me. Wales will be well up for this game after last years hiding I would stick with last nights team except replace Giteau with Barnes & bring Hodgson onto the bench. I wouldn't have to many radical changes to the test team until we play Italy were I would have play...

I thought McCalman had a good game ball in hand & also did a lot of good cover defence for Quade along with Pocock. I'm all for Lachie Turner i think he's definitely more consistent than JOC (James O'Connor) & Mitchell. Anyway we won & that's great Kurtley Beale & David Pocock are freaks when we sought...

I don't do the scoring but I'm sure Rugby Reg will class this as a donkey vote. We like our posters to make the big decisions when it's a tight situation.

Oh definitely. Deans should make some slight adjustments to this side I would like to see Turner for Mitchell (Re: Rugby Reg on Hong Kong Phooey) Barnes for Giteau & someone for Chisolm but not Mumm I want him off the bench.

Nah fuck that did the kiwis thank Giteau for missing so many kicks in Sydney? I Doubt it & I bet not one Kiwi fan ever mentioned Giteau's kicking as the reason they snuck home. Our boys were just as rusty if anything we played less rugby over the last 5 weeks, come on lads a wins a win...

Well yeah I suppose it is a mental thing maybe he should start by changing his accent. I would definitely drop Gits for Barnes.

Yeah Barnes was brilliant when he came on & your spot on about dropping Nonu, with Giteau's poor kicking & JOC (James O'Connor) landing a sideline conversion plus the pressure shot surely this must spell the end of Giteau's strangle hold on the 12 jersey.

He's an enigma & we all know that but he played a part in all four tries & the bounce of the ball went against his general play kicking tonight. How any player gets to that level & is still totally shit at tackling is beyond me & it's not like he's small either I think he weighs in at 95kg.

3. JOC (James O'Connor) - Was that the kick the may have also sunk Giteau? 2. Pocock - Superstar 1. Beale - Conrad Smith must have nightmares about this bloke. SM: McCalman, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), Sharpe, Barnes.

Well he can't be to slow as he beat Billy Slater in the 40 metre dash on Rexona's best athelete show, JOC (James O'Connor) would be as quick as any wallaby back over 40 & that's all that matters.

Just saw footage of that McCaw try in Sydney & JOC (James O'Connor) must have taken a bribe or promised his All Black loving father he'd throw the game. Sure Mccaw broke early but what was JOC (James O'Connor) thinking.

In regards to JOC (James O'Connor) & this goes for all players if your not #1 in your position than it's hard luck, sure he's a talent but so is Toeava but unfortunately there is a couple of blokes who are better so he has to bide his time. I personally see JOC (James O'Connor) as a brilliant super 15 player but only a bench...

Other than Chiz I like our forward pack I think it's the best we've put out all season that's if Alexander doesn't display his super 14 scrumming form were he collapsed nearly every bind. Still backing the boys. Wallabies by 8.

Yep & I think this is an area we've definitely gone backwards under Robbie Deans so I'm hoping we see improvement & fast.

Scarfie, Other than Slipper I would change them all. ATM Slipper is our best bench option at reserve prop. Chisolm - Well what can you do? I wouldn't start Mumm or Simmons & VH is the only one left but I saw him more as a dirt tracker for this tour which leaves zero options left from the...

I stole this from Reg on the Western Force 2011 thread. This is what I like to hear.

Other than Chiz that's almost as good as it gets, some will argue that TPN would start over Moore but for me they are on par. A fully fit Palu over McCalman no doubt but I have no problems with McCalman starting he was probably our best forward in Sydney.

Smith is gone man, it's either Hodgo or Waugh for mine. Well we can only pray that David Pocock is fit for the RWC as I'm sure the Kiwis will with Richie McCaw.
