Genia almost demanded selection. The first two scrummys you listed aren't upto the standard and burgess while strong in some areas, cant pass to the right.

Tahu, Ma'afu, Cowan, Edmonds, Cross, Mumm, Brown, McCalman. Go figure. I totally agree with this, couldn't of put it better myself. There has been something like 8 or 9 tests under deans that should have been won and weren't, I think its pretty evident that winning them would have done more...

My only reservation about playing barnes and cooper together is that they had many years at the reds together and then a couple apart and Cooper has really come on as a player with barnes absent. I know it may be due to how the pack performed but Barnes hasn't shown good consistent form for...

I'm just waiting for ricky januarie to get the call up.....

Parra is a very handly player. I like the look of this french team its a shame they are in shambles

I think the age thing is a cop out to be honest. The old heads were there in 07 and it made no difference. The old heads were not there for the reds and it made no difference.

If we lived in a perfect world the aru would have been competent enough to keep him in australia for another season.

Shit ball encourages more ruck infringements as well. We have shit kickers so it may work in our favour, but not punishing teams for infringing promotes 'negative' rugby.

He's not the best is he. Had a couple of absolute shockers. Who else could they have picked.

The standard of international refereeing and the state of the laws at the moment is truly a blight on the game. Same shit, 4 years on.

Rolland not doing samoa any favours towards the end. Standard of refing is shithouse at the moment. Its a blight on the game.

We're only 1 loss away from a clean out of the coaching team. Surely.

The french have no idea who their b side and a side is. They will play the flavour of the week and if they lose they will drop more than half the team. Such a waste of a strong rugby nation.

At least it wasn't england...

It was the forwards fault. Our gameplan is totally based on clean front foot ball.

Completely off his feet after 20 minutes. And then he's only good for another 15 after half time. Also completely out of form. Mind you I still think he's the better of the two, just hasn't been playing like he is.

Can beast play on the other side of the scrum, he is a cracking player, really gets round the park well. Hougaard coming on looked very good last night, and he won you the game against the welsh. I would be tempted to start him on the wing, but it might ruin the balance of your back-line and...

It doesnt matter who we pick really, without a gameplan we aren't going to perform. We should be easily putting 60 or 70 points on a team like the USA, I suspect it will be a lot closer than that.

Thats what got me. Our whole back 5 had the build of second rowers. No Balance what so ever, and no subs when they got tired.

I think the laws need to be cleaned up before the we will see good consistent refereeing.
