    Ireland v Australia, Dublin, 16 Nov 2013

    Good game from our front row. Our starting front row put in the hard yards so I'm not buying into the man love for the replacements. I think we played OK but in reality there is still much more room for improvement. It was great to see us get the job done none the less and go back to back...

    Skotte vs Bokke @ Murrayfield

    I don't get it. You have a good year where the side looks to have gelled, then they throw in a heap of mercenaries. It doesn't make much sense.

    Ireland v Australia, Dublin, 16 Nov 2013

    Simmons back to Lock and Tamani gone. Fardy back at six and Gill to start. I would rather see Douglas on the bench than Tamani. Don't make any changes to the backs.

    Skotte vs Bokke @ Murrayfield

    The Scots are a frustrating team. Their general ball skills are crap and often they just don't get passes to stick. They play with intent though and have a pretty good supporting and offloading game and use the short ball well. If they had the ball skills to support the intent they play with...

    Best World Wallaby team

    Noodles would be a great addition at 8. He has more impact than Mowen.

    Italy v Australia, Sunday Nov 10 2013, Stadio Olimpico

    I just think a young bloke has reached that point where he grows up and his perspective changes. I think it is something we probably have all faced in life one way or another and I hope the other two also find it soon.

    Italy v Australia, Sunday Nov 10 2013, Stadio Olimpico

    What I think I am liking most about Quade Cooper at the moment is that Genia is not playing well but it is not effecting his ability to play well. It is really looking like he has matured on the field as well as off it.

    Italy v Australia, Sunday Nov 10 2013, Stadio Olimpico

    I think it is clear we are heading in a new direction and slowly building. I also understand the fans being suss until we see some consistency. Wallaby fans have a right to be feeling a bit gun shy at the moment.

    Just refuse to get excited about this win until we back it up next week. Simmons did well at 6.

    Italy v Australia, Sunday Nov 10 2013, Stadio Olimpico

    The whole referee team that officiated the game should be held accountable for what they served up in officiating the game, not just at scrum time. Frankly it was one of the most pathetic performances seen in quite some time. Sure some mistakes may happen in a game as they are only human...

    Time to throw out the bath water

    I will make this prediction. If Beale handles his off field issues, a full season of Chieka rugby at the Tahs will have us all wanting him in the Wallabies. He will thrive with that style of rugby. 13 could be the smokey position for mine. I am not saying at this moment he is the right fit...

    Long Term Combinations

    Without doubt, Genia has been shite and he deserves to be dropped. Did he have a bug up his arse about being overlooked for VC? I don't know. Players have shown glimpses of form at times though the only Wallaby to show consistent form every time he has worn the Wallaby jersey in 2013 is...

    Long Term Combinations

    Form players are a bit hard to find at the moment. We won't know who form players are until we get into next years Super Rugby season. It kind of makes this thread a bit of a mute point unless you can read tea leafs or have a crystal ball. I think Link this year has just looked at continuity...

    Long Term Combinations

    We are just frustrated at the moment and people are not seeing the bigger picture. Horwill's form slump wont last and we will all be reminded of what he does offer when back to his usual standard. Simmons has been coming good over the last few matches and the timing of his injury was bloody...

    Great second row pairings

    Eales was unique in that he partnered well with pretty much all who combined with him. Add to the list if I have left somebody out. Connors Cockbain McCall Sharpe Waugh Morgan

    Great second row pairings

    Hamilton and Grey combine well for the Scots.

    Rugby News from unexpected places

    I have it on good authority that Nathan Sharpe will be playing and coaching for South Darwin in 2014. Tim Atkinson is the head coach and that is the link where he was recruited. I know Sharpie is in and out of town on business a bit. This is awsome news if true.

    James Horwill stripped of captaincy

    Horwill's loss of the captaincy is only temporary. Mowen will see out this tour but depending on who is available and in form next year makes Mowen's selection chances cloudy. That is no dis-respect to him but it is a very real possibility. The critique of Horwill's captaincy personally I...

    James Horwill stripped of captaincy

    Yep, very comfortable should that happen. Nerves may play a part should it happen but given the growing up he has done in the last 12 months, I have no doubts he has the maturity to handle the job. I am now kind of intrigued about what style of captain he would be.

    Australia Vs. England, Twickenham, 2nd November 2013

    Sounds like Quade has come a long way. Good on him http://www.foxsports.com.au/rugby/wallabies/wallabies-vicecaptain-quade-cooper-says-setting-an-example-for-his-brothers-forced-him-to-grow-up/story-e6frf55l-1226751445397
