Ill allow it, just this one time.

Although I hate Tom Carter with a special passion I only reserve for people like mick ennis, the english and a certain former prime minister, I thought he played really well on the weekend for nsw, and was close to being best of ground.

Can I just say I think Mark Lawrence is one of, if not the best ref going around at the moment.

Only reserve i have about sharpe is that as you can see from force games this year, they A) often have trouble with the refs and B) often lose the close games. Australia needs all the chips to fall into place if we are to win this world cup.

Disappointing for Brisbane, as the wobs always seem to play better up here. But if it's a good deal for Australian rugby I am not totally against it. I think we will see Brisbane getting the springboks and Melbourne and Perth alternating with the Pumas. Is their any chance brisbane might still...

Didn't we already have this thread?

If it's 3rd teir my money is on an u20 comp. But I think with rocky and deans there, it will be something wallaby related, aka deans/rocky re-signing or rocky resigning as captain.

I would really like to see this happen because this is potentially our best backline (without drew), but at this point in time I don't think horne has done enough to earn a gold jersey. Lets hope he can stay uninjured and find some form.

Just like to say I dont understand people picking cooper vuna. His defence is terrible, and he hardly makes up for it with his attacking play.

Wallaby Team: 1. Benn Robinson 2. Tatafu Polota-Nau 3. James Slipper 4. James Horwill (vc) 5. Nathan Sharpe 6. Rocky Elsom (c) 7. David Pocock 8. Wycliff Palu 9. Will Genia 10. Quade Cooper 11. Drew Mitchell 12. James O'Connor 13. Adam Ashley-Cooper 14. Digby Ioane 15. Kurtley...

They might as well bring in the new coach now. Things couldn't get much worse for them.

A few weeks ago I thought you were taking the piss with your selections. This week they are pretty much spot on.

This brumbies season has been really disappointing. So much talent in the stable, just a prolonged period of poor coaching and administration has done them over. They need to appoint a coach quicksmart so they can get on with recruiting for next season. With the lack of outside backs at the...

Just under and hour until the telecast starts, this games a hard one to pick. My gut feeling is to go with the force. Great to see longbottom getting a start.

The cock mk 2 was in fine form when he came on, really went balls deep with his tackling. 3. Mitchell 2. Kepu 1. Alcock

Any good players running round in the canberra comp? You'd think that one of their 3 young opensides might head elsewhere at the end of the season. I dont think salvi is really up to super rugby standard. I've said it before and ill say it again, the brumbies need wingers, and josh dugan is a...

Mark Lawrence is the best ref in the world. He should defiantly be in charge of the world cup final (unless the saffas are in it).

I think you have to grow a good following for the game by creating a product that is entertaining and resilient. Part of that has to do with state loyalties and the development of legitimate grudge matches. I think we should look to model our game on a combination of the NZ model, as well as a...

Sure you could say it started to die, but the brumbies had local players playing for them, and their poaches were less high profile. Contrast this to the force, who had no local players and poached many current and future test players.

Any chance a guy like Rob Penny from Canterbury might be in the mix. Proven coach at provincial level (albeit with a pretty handy team)?
