3.Pocock 2.Elsom 1.Palu Special mention: Horwill, Robinson & Moore.

I'm no scrum expert but I'm sure Fatprop or Noddy would be a better judge but on the last scrum of the match when BOD scored the number 3 for Ireland (Hayes?) dropped his bind when we put the shove on to stop the momentum of Robinson pushing them over again. I thought that Kaplan would...

Looks like we're in trouble tonight considering we only just scraped past England.

He's our best back so really he should choose were he wants to play but the fact Deans has to use him as a stop gap 15 or 12 just shows how shit our backline depth is. He can play 15 & 12 at the same time just as long as JOC (James O'Connor) doesn't get a run.

WTF do Queenslanders have to do with it? :lmao: Classic I'm an Aussie 1st Reds fan 2nd. But if we have to go there then the Queenslanders were carving up out in the backs.

Biffo, I'm sure Higginbotham can drop passes & bomb tries at international level also. The fact that Rocky raised the Cook cup like it were the Webb Ellis cup just made me cringe also. I'm sure Elsom is injured ATM so I'll excuse his poor showing of late.

Agreed. I think Lote Tuqiri should be allowed to play for Fiji in the 2011 RWC as should Radke Samo & any other player who's heritage is from a tier 2 team. It would be much better for the international game.

Yep our last match in Ireland was all over inside 20 minutes, they carved us in the backs and ROG kicking for the corners kept us pinned for the entire match. Our lineout & general play kicking must improve if we are any chance. Our forwards are a lot better this time around but our backs need...

Maybe he should just hit the ruck 1st before wondering why his flankers aren't already there & then give them a verbal blast at the next stop in play.

Do the Irish try & hide ROG in defence? Good news is Smith will be looking for a big game this weekend so he'll be looking to make an impression at the ruck so hopefully back to his pilfering best.

I think the French have really turned a corner under this new coach they will be very dangerous going wide & the forwards will definitely front up. Bokke best team in the world but very tough match to pick a winner but the Boks with Du Preez & Matfield just know how to win I think the Boks...

I agree uncontested scrums are a waste of of time but if the Fucking clowns wanna open up the game fix the ruck bring back rucking, Richie McCaw want be dangling his hand or head in front of the ball much longer. How much better would it be if you could just tear into some cheat's back or...

Yeah 1st half hour was a joke 8-0 penalty count and from that 8 I think 3 went against us when on attack in the opposition 30 metre zone. No wonder we couldn't apply any real pressure & it doesn't help with 2 minutes of the 1st half to play Giteau decides to move into flyhalf off a perfect...

We got smashed in the 1st half by the ref on saturday & I really thought there was some very biased decisions by the ref in the 1st 40 minutes but credit to the Wallabies they really played well & showed a lot of composure in the 2nd half & gave the ref nothing. Anyway this will be our...

Agreed, Stupid bloody Growden is already writing about Grand Slam after one win against the hapless poms our toughest test is this weekend. If we beat the Irish which is going to be a huge task then I'll be confident of a grand slam even though the Welsh are very tough at home.

Elsom had a good 2nd half but was terrible in the 1st he was also responsible for letting the poms regather the short kick offs down the middle. Pocock to start next week?

He did break the line but was impatient when going for the try should have waited for the shove from the forwards. 3. Genia 2. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 1. James Horwill Special mention: Palu, Benn Robinson & Quade Cooper.

We must remember that Palu & Ioane have played very little test rugby this season so they can be excused for a few fumbles in contact Palu get's over the advantage line which is what we've been missing all year he sure adds a lot of punch.

Giteau, Chisolm, Elsom & Smith.

Yeah Vickerman was a big loss for us I'm hoping he eventually comes back as the AB's will also have Jack & Williams on board next year. Still hold out hope for Tom Hockings at the Force he was brilliant in 2008 but faded badly in 2009 with a bad run of injuries. Kimlin is another good...
