bugger. was hoping for a fairytail ending for Baxter

Hey! I resemble that remark :) although as a schoolboy LHP, I either threw the lineout, or was at #2 in the lineout (albeit before lifting was allowed). I also kicked for goal. so much wasted talent...

you overestimate Burgess' ability. A broken hand will not effect the quality of his passing :)

sounds like the only potential advantage is to have 2 posts already set up as the 2 men lifting the inside leg, and a third in place to maul the ball away, setting up a rolling maul quicker. Still seems odd though

Benn, Moore, Alexander Vicks, sharpe, Elsom, samo, pocock Phipps Quade Gits, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) Digby, Beale, JOC (James O'Connor) Res: faainga, kepu, Simmons, beau, burgess, Gerard, Davies Think he'll use this game to test a few returning options like vicks, samo and gerard, and also some new recruits like Phipps, beau...

Just give the award to ewen. No one has done more for old rugby

3: genia - got rattled early but collected himself 2: horwill - key ruck work 1: diggers - even at average he's still pretty good

the tahs are building up to a 2007 bulls type of team: strong pack, flashy scrumhalf, no flashy outside backs, just hard toilers. If coached properly they could go alraight. Big IF though...

I may be cynical, but is this a sign that hickey is at risk of being retained? Did mowen figure he wants only 1 year in NSW but 2 with jack white?

was originally going for Aus Ire and QF1, with plans to pick up some other games as well. The impending baby put a stop to that. I've had to offload the AUS IRE tickets to a (very grateful) mate, and am going solo to QF1 on a splash and dash one night mission. Sadly, I will be watching somewhere...

My concern about our forwards going into the RWC is that certain options being hevily touted can play a bit too wide and loose, and we give up too much at the breakdown (especially against the kiwis and boks). This is my main concern with Higgers at 6. I know we will have a good hard working...

Not wanting to risk calls of "those who don't learn history are doomed to repeat it" I think we can take potential selection clues by looking at what happened last year. In the first barbarians game deans pmayed JOC (James O'Connor) at 15, despite some previous poor performances. He showed some bealesque moves...

better work on the lineout, I can see our opposition putting it into the nosebleeds

My turn 1: robbo 2: Moore 3: Alexander 4: vicks 5: sharpe 6: elsom (he says he will be fit) otherwise dennis (might as well find out now) 7: hodgeson 8 : mccalman 9: Phipps (think Burgos is still out) 10: Beale (controversial) 11: cummins 12: JOC (James O'Connor) (pipe dream) 13: AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 14: turner 15: shep...

As a reasonably neutral, that was a cracking game to watch. QC (Quade Cooper) was exciting enough for the missus to be talking up leaving the kids with the in laws and flying to Brisneyland for the final. Congrats to the reds fans, hope it all plays out for you

Oh he didn't like the quality of my tickets :(

Good post hawko. I thought tilse played very well the few chances he got.

Mine is from 99, sponsored by vodafone FFS. I bought it to wear to the Olympics. My wife wore it while pregnant to the 07 cup in Cardiff. It's made from heavy cotton. I'm not giving it up

Why is that? What am I missing?

easts would be my guess...
