McMahon in beast mode.

Barbarians getting away with a lot. Peyper needs to warn them and then card if required to make it a decent contest.

Wallabies are going to get dusted here.

Carter isn't the answer at lock. Too passive in his tackling.

Looking rusty all round. Alexander better shape up.

Does anyone else find the concept of grown men holding hands with children as they walk out slightly strange?

HAha, I saw the trophy and thought the design brief was "give us something like the Ranfurly shield, but none of that fancy wood stuff, just make it out of plastic ........................and then stick a toaster on top"

Yes, on a Rugby field.

I'll rule 10 myself as it's no doubt getting tedious for others. But it was a shit comment.

No, go back and read what you originally posted. You never mentioned pecking order. You stated that it was funny people were excited for Hodgson as it is only a tour match. You can't re-write history when you only wrote it 20 minutes ago.

Listen to yourself. He's fucking Captaining the Wallabies. Wouldn't matter if he was running out against Kazakhstan's second 15. It's a shit load more than any of us have done. And it is a little bit special because he isn't Israel Folau. The code didn't sprain it's neck trying to gob him off...

So what are you doing that's so amazing on Saturday to relegate the massive honour of Hodgson captaining his country to the so-so basket?

In the Biography, Dean's doesn't really paint it as being forced to replace older/experienced players out of necessity. He claims he had to clean a lot of them out because he didn't think they were up to the task.

Incidentally, I wouldn't recommend the book. It lacked insight and was light on insider details (which if we're honest is what you really want from a book like this).

I just finished the Deans Biography. It left me with mixed feelings. I actually beforehand expected to feel slightly guilty for being such a strident critic of his, once how good a bloke he is was revealed. And in truth there was a small measure of that as he is no doubt a quality individual...

I'm definitely more excited about this game than the Aus v Baa Baa's game. Just hope the Eagles make a good fist of it and it captures the imagination of the American public.

I'm working on the premise that the 6:30 Rugby Special is the All Black V USA game.

Come now Kurtley, put the bottle down and move away from the keyboard.

Ha, bet there is one team manager running around trying to book hotels etc in Brisbane and another just shit themselves about booking a ground to play it at. Certainly wouldn't have been the main planned for outcome. Hope their contingencies are good.
