The Ruskis do a pregame jig?! Please tell me it's the kossack dance. Please.

I guess so. Good thing you're above such actions.

It's the one we've got by far the most exposure to?

But you'd that same level of experience with someone like Vickerman too though right?

Snooze. It's an absolute gee up that NZ do the haka and every country in the world has to pander to them. Don't move, don't react, don't do squat. It doesn't even matter if it's a game in your own country on your own turf; this cynical piece of marketing, and that's all it is, takes precedence...

I don't know if this has been mentioned previously or not, but similar to how Anthony Fainga'a should either be starting or out of the 22 altogether, I think the same could be applied to Nathan Sharpe. If he's not starting, I think the bench lock spot should be filled by someone like Vickerman.

I bloody hope not - they're Souths boys! UQ don't need any more top liners anyway :)

Richie McCaw cheated these poor kids out of their art project showing! When will it end?

True, but I'd rather catch a cab than a chariot though!

Exactly right mate. He was understandably a bit gun shy when it came to revving up his forwards, which led to him having to get down and dirty far too often. Still, it's good to know that he doesn't mind getting stuck into the rough stuff.

Tell you what, I just rewatched the Aus vs Samoa game an hour ago, and I thought Phipps went pretty well all things being considered.

On page 35 of this weekends Australia - South Africa electronic match program there's a little 'hospital ward' section. Rob Horne is featured, and it says that he is "expected to be right come WC 2011 time."...

Desperate for an ally? :)

Very, very, very disappointed that Samo isn't in the team. He is 10 times the player McCalman is.

If Horne were fit I'd prefer to see a Fainga'a - Horne pairing.

Haha. Well you'd certainly get the dominant tackling backline you've been wanting though qwerty!

The only way is up! (Baby)

I dunno, I quite like it. But I see it's already been suggested in other threads, so carry on folks.

What do we think of a McCabe - Fainga'a centre pairing for the next test match?

Sharp, crisp acting. If only Burgess could deliver the football with such precision.
