Positives for me from tonight's match: 1. We've had a look at Eden Park prior to the World Cup so know what to expect in our big matches there in September & October, and 2. We play again in 7 days time. More seriously, scrum went well enough. Line out was ok too - I actually thought...

SMH website does indeed now state that Nathan Sharpe will be playing 80 minutes for the Red Heavies this weekend. I wonder how many Wallabies in their 15 this weekend?

"If the AB's are trying the same sort of illegal shit around the breakdown as we saw last weekend, which one of them will you smack in the head to bring it to the referee's attention?"

Yes, this was very good at 2003 World Cup. Expecting a repeat in just under 6 weeks time. Hopefully Tonga can keep the scoreline a bit closer this time around. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_K95oxWbvBA

One man's "training camp" is clearly another's "injury rehabilitation centre of excellence"....

Eh? 2003? In 2003, a young Fijian winger by the name of Joe Rokocoko taught Wendell Sailor how to play wing as the All Blacks tore us apart 50-17 or thereabouts in Sydney. It's for that reason, my bet on the Wallabies by 1-12 paid so bloody well at the Tab after the World Cup Semi. Are you...

Have to wonder just what the geniuses at 9 are up to. The ad I just watched pitched the Tri-Nations series as being between "the Wallabies, the Meat Eaters & the Sheep Shaggers", and that tonight we are playing the "World Losers" and "it will be a breeze for our Champions". WTF? Have...

Yep I would be keen for that. Where to meet up though? Down at the big Live site on the waterfront or anybody know some good pubs?

So who will takeover Wallabies captaincy if Elsom gets subbed off? Horwill, Genia, Pocock? Qantas Facebook page had 2 for 1 ticket offer on it today so must be plenty of seats left for the match.

Disappointed for Samo but looking through the Boks line up, I think Paarl is once again on the money. We're going to tear those blokes apart - Wallabies 13+. Also having both Hodgson and Higgers on the bench should have put Elsom well & truly on notice. If he's going shit - off he comes at...

We'll be much friendlier odds at the TAB than last weekend!......

Who would kick goals in that line up? Steyn or Lambie?

Moore was on fire for the last month of the Brumbies season. I don't think he'll get dropped. At least with the team announced tomorrow, they'll have all week to work on some moves. If Deans really wants to capitalise on the Reds success, he needs to pick them tomorrow. Hopefully the...

I would like to see a backline of: 9. Genia 10. Cooper 11. Ioane 12. O'Connor 13. Fainga'a 14. Ashley-Cooper 15. Beale 5:2 split on the bench with Gits at 21 as back up from 9 thru 12 & McCabe in 22. Genia is an 80 minute player so no need for a specialist back up 9. I'd also like to see Samo...

Did any of the Wallabies that started the match not think that putting a few kicks in behind the Samoan giants was a good idea rather than trying to crash straight through them? Higgers was pretty successful with that tactic once he got out there.

Well done to Samoa! Shown no respect by a Wallabies team that turned up expecting to win and made them pay. Well played.

It's not about whether they did much wrong. It's do we have players in the squad that would do better next weekend? Yes we do.

Disgraceful - really feel sorry for James Hanson today. He's been robbed of a Wallaby debut by the absolute garbage served up by the starting XV. Farewell Alexander, Timani, Vickerman, Hodgson, McCalman, Gits, McCabe, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), Davies, Gerrard. Let's pick the real team this week thanks Robbie...

Timani - what the fuck are you doing out there! He should've been hooked, not Sharpe.

Really? Perhaps only pointless if you decide to field a second-rate team for half the comp you prat! I wonder what JON thinks about these comments? http://www.sport24.co.za/Rugby/TriNations/Div-blasts-pointless-T3N-20110715
