I distinctly remember him putting on a monster cleanout on someone. Read I think. In a match short of Wallabies highlights that was nice to see.

Fair enough. Other AIGs seemed more willing to knuckle down. I know some Kiwis here have made similar observations.

Does anyone know how Lilo went for the World XV?

True. But in a class NZ performance his lack of grunt work really stood out for me.

Dane Coles spent more time on the wing than Higginbotham ever did.

Is that want he wanted? I thought he was asking the crowd to boo?

It's not quite the team I would have gone with but overall I quite like it. It's going to be a war out there so I quite like our starting pack and forward heavy bench. Like others have said, I see Pocock coming on for Palu at halftime. Mumm and Douglas replacing our locks after 60 perhaps. I...

This would be my team too. Ideally I'd have Lilo in for Cooper on the bench too, but he'll be over in the World XV.

How about starting AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) and Speight, and having Mitchell on the bench as back three cover? I know Cheika likes Beale to come on late and cause some havoc, but I'd feel much more comfortable with Drew there instead.

Exactly. Fuck those guys. Let them try and deal with our style of play. We have a point of difference so let's use it.

Is Lilo in the squad? I'd like him on the bench as inside back cover. Drop Foley entirely, with To'omua and Giteau starting.

Funny you mention that. I missed the Aus anthem but I saw the NZ anthem and thought McCaw, Read and a few others were totally disconnected. Do they often do this and just save their energy for the haka?

Nope, no Quade for me. Based on tonight I'd go with To'omua-Gits.

I'd trust the opinion of an impartial over one of us!

It's a series of cricket matches that have no connection to New Zealand, thus no bragging rights, whatsoever.

Just reading the comments now and jesus, I think I was watching a different game. I thought Mumm played quite well.

What a game! Go Wallabies you fucking beauties! Quick post match thoughts: - Hooper and Pocoock simply have to start. Two of our three trump cards (the other being Folau) and they just killed it tonight. - I take back all reservations about Mumm. I thought he was fantastic and he's now easily...

I wish I could attend this match, but I'll be away for work. Hopefully the mighty Magpies can roll those boofhead Tigers! C'mon Souths!

I had no intention to wade in until this comment. Hooper has had his own poor behaviour issues as well pal (see Byron incident, and dealing with McKenzie fallout). We get that you don't like Quade and that's fine, but don't make some half arsed, inaccurate comparison just to feed your vendetta.

Well after that I'm definitely coming around to the idea of starting both Hooper and Pocock. Two very different styles so they may just compliment each other perfectly. And the Wallabies don't have too many trump cards in their deck really, so we gotta play the few we do have. Also, I'm a bit...
