Or tell them there wasn't enough space in our trophy cabinet anymore. Damn we are getting cocky....

You have to hand it to your lot. To knuckle down in the second half and play themselves back into the game like they did was a credit to them. That 26 phase try was the definition of building pressure.

I dont think its a good idea to ruin even handed analysis threads with player bashing. But the player bashing itself in this case I think is somewhat justifiable.

I have nothing but respect for BOD. I also respect Ali Williams because he is a pretty damn good rugby player, but I don't respect many elements of his play which are not at all in the spirit of the game. Do you not deny that he is a bit of dickhead on the field?

But it will be in 6 weeks. I think the wallabies are in with a real chance no doubt, but they need to keep improving. I dont mean to be overly negative, but we have a habit of getting too far ahead of ourselves and then going into a state of breakdown after we lose.

Dog act by cooper, but as I said in the other thread, the more he distracts McCaw from the game the better. It would be better if he did it through legal tactics though.

How hot was the bird singing the Kiwi Anthem. But I have to say, our anthem always sounds better when its sung by a fat bloke as it was last night. I have no time for 21 year old female popstars who cant actually sing.

I think he was pretty decent, and had a positive impact on the game. By penalising ruck infringements early he set a precedent, which I think is very important for a referee to do. In any case he was much better than Rolland, Kaplan, Lawrence and Munro.

No one denies quade is a bit gutless at times. People seem to forget, we spent 3 years putting shit on him before we ever complemented his game. I haven't seen a replay, so I might be way off the mark with this statement, but I didn't even think that knee was that bad. The more quade distracts...

Can I also say that with a different ref, at a different ground, and with a couple of different selections the AB probably would have beat us tonight. They are still favourites, especially at eden park.

Against the All Blacks I would play the strong defending midfield. Against anyone else I would drop McCabe and have JOC (James O'Connor) or Mitchell slot in.

3.Genia 2.Samo 1.Vickerman Honourable mention to quade cooper, who was instrumental in getting us on the front foot in the first half, as well as kev and pocock. Strong game from AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper).

After tonight's game I think it's about time we had a place to vent about Ali Williams so as not to ruin game threads. I'll get the ball rolling by pointing out that the dickhead was almost 5m past the 10m line during the haka tonight, he did the same thing earlier in the tri-nations as well...

My thoughts on the game (in easy to read dot point format): -Wayne Barnes did a pretty good job, he's missed some things, but he's miles ahead of all the other refs bar mark lawrence. -Lineout was shithouse. But so was the restart a few weeks ago, nothing a bit of practise cant fix. -Second row...

So you can push for higher honours. The QRU obviously want to have a closer look at a few players.

Very good 22, as long as they dont have another shocking run of injuries this team should make the finals. Tahs might go the 5/2 split on the bench as they have some pretty quality forwards and reasonably versatile backs. Can Kingston and Foley play fullback or are they specialists?

NZ by 7. Will be a better showing from the wallabies, but I think the weather will mean that we dont get on top of them in the end.

I love that kit. Really classy, and it looks like a proper rugby jersey. Is it the same jersey the barbarian team who play pre season provincial games wear?

Queensland XV are playing a scratch game against Canada at ballymore on tuesday night. 6 PM, Free admission.

No he's with the force. His name was just mentioned as a possible candidate.
