I don't mind Adam Spencer. The current Back Page panel appear to know very little about Rugby, other than its that sport that the Honey Badger plays.

don't know much about the french players guys. How do they match up against our 23? strengths and weaknesses in that team? I would have thought Dusatoir would be captain.

Sounds like a plan. I'll maybe add - get the ball to Folau with some space as much as possible

:rolleyes: seriously, the idea that QLD aren't going because Genia wasn't chosen to such dribble. The team was announced at midday yesterday, the tickets have been on sale for several weeks. It defies logic

The journo are just looking for something to write about. I wouldn't make a big deal out of it. We had the EXACT same articles in the lead up to the trans-Tasman league test. They were estimating a crowd of less than 20k to that game, and the final crowd was well over 25k. The Wallabies...

Those crowd numbers aren't particularly surprising. The fact that there is 2 origins at Suncorp this month rather than 1 would have a big effect. Also crowd numbers have been down this season across the board. Just look at the shitty crowd that turned up for the trans-Tasman league test. - for...

Well carter better hope the wallabies arent beaten badly, because he might find it quite difficult to get a second chance, particular with the likes of Jones breathing down his neck. Just ask a guy like Mozza. Thrown to the wolves against the scots and never seen again in a wallabies jersey.

I really, badly hope Foley has a great series at 10. If he shows himself to be a quality test level 10 then I'm really liking our backline options for the world cup. Having the option of Cooper or Foley will be invaluable. Cooper has played at a world cup so his experience will be key but the...

selecting alexander is like going back to an old girlfriend. its only a matter time before he breaks your heart... but to be fair, who'd wanna be a THP for the wallabies. too be honest its too late to blood any more THPs for the world cup so he's the best we've got behind Kepu. It is...

In Kepu, Link sees a TH that can actually scrummage In Simmons, Link sees Australia's best line-out caller and one of Australia's best forwards from the EOYT. In Alexander link sees.............fucks me.

Did you mean too many Rebels?

Re Higgers I think it's more than just the mistakes. In the second half against the Brumbies, when the game was long gone. Higgers actually pulled up his sleeves and got in an played some tight pick and drive rugby and for a moment reminded me of his form last year. He has had problems this...

I'd add Slipper to the list of settled starters. Not at all surprised that Cowan got chosen on the bench ahead of Sio. Cowan seems to be like a fine wine, like all good props. He's better than he was during his last stint for the wobs. more experienced, older wiser and more technically sound...

I few thoughts on the team. - Good looking side. A team definitely picked on form which should make a lot of people on the forum very happy. - The biggest omissions are definitely Genia and Higgers. Both would be in the starting line up if they were in top form. Hopefully its the wake p call...

Im amazed that McKenzie would leave out Genia altogether in favour of Phipps on the bench. Phipp's performance history for the wallabies has been average at best. Genia has had so many man of the match performances at Suncorp. I can understand benching him but fuck. Also one thing that story...

just watch the oz v arg game. the whole team went well but McMahon was exceptional the tight five made mince meat of the argies at scrum time

I was saying Boo-urns

My tickets to the Reds v Saders grand final at Suncorp were $30. cheap as chips.

The way I see it, if I had to start either McCabe or Horne on the wing I'd go with McCabe. But if I was looking for a bench option probably McCabe. With that said, I expect Beale to be on the bench and he provides cover for 15 (although looks like he'll play 10 in the dying stages of the game...

surely this type of talk is more suited to another thread, like perhaps "the The Awful Truth about the ARU's finance" or whatever its called. Leaving aside the code's finances, if you cant enjoy the tahs current situation, you never will I understand the point you are trying to make, but id...
