Like the white one. Not convinced about the blue.

I've never made that argument. I wouldn't have selected Hodgson over Hooper on the Spring Tour. I am a fan of the bring Hodgson on for the final 10 argument, but to be fair the last three games Hooper has played above and beyond in the final 10.

Only he didn't :) . He spilled it forward. Right decision though.

Would love to see Ala'alatoa get a few games off the bench. We don't want to rush him but that kid anchored the scrum pretty bloody well at the U20s and is the great hope for a Wallaby scrum resurgence. He's young, but Ollie Hoskins typically played 10-20 minutes off the bench for the Force this...

Shit, I'd be happy if we could just build a time machine and wipe out just one of AFL or League. Reckon that'd be enough to see us entrenched at the top.

First choice Brumbies definitely look the best in the Aussie conference. But as the Blues fans will tell you, a team can look great on paper and but up shit creek after two or three injuries. Not a lot of Super Rugby experience behind the first choice backline. Good thing Coleman can play just...

Who are you talking about? Only they do because you are hanging shit on one franchise with the implication that your franchise doesn't behave in much the same way. Or the others for that matter. Henry Speight was brought over from NZ. Was that such a bad idea? At least you are fair in...

I'm not holding my breath but I absolutely agree. Cummins adds so much wherever he goes.

This was a Force decision, not an Australian rugby decision. I'd accept your point if we hadn't also signed a local winger (Brad Lacey). If there were so many outside backs running around, why did the Tahs bring in Taqele Naiyaravoro over from league?

Maafu is shit. He'll play one good game in five and the others will be woeful. There is a good reason he never made it in Super Rugby. I can't remember if it was 2012 or 2013 but he got yellow carded against the Waratahs in Perth in a 5m scrum. Longbottom came on for a backrower and we won a...

Huge Quade Cooper fan. I reckon he's head and shoulders above Foley. I think the comparative win rate of games with Cooper vs games without speaks for itself.

You are correct. He said that a few days after he said "When this is over, I am totally going to eat like 50 big macs".

Reckon we would have performed a lot better at scrum time if Moore or TPN or Charles were the hooker.

Was this year really the worst year for international rugby? Yeah we've lost three games straight and that is shit. And yes we lost to Argentina (also shit). But last year we lost to South Africa twice, England by roughly the same amount and didn't come close to NZ once (whereas this year we...

I was talking about them knocking on the door for the 2016 season. Thats two Super Rugby seasons on from now and I reckon at least one of Staniforth, Arnold and Enever will come good by then. Not directed at you, but I really hate this idea that no new squad members can come into a team in...

The tricky thing is that in the first test he played against the French, they were on the rack. So maybe he looked a lot better and more influential at test level than he actually is. I want to see a couple of runs from Skelton like the one he put in against the Force in Perth this year. Made a...

Are you serious? I haven't seen any improvement over the last 6 months. If he can gain parity with our other locks in scrummaging, I'd be all for him starting a few games or coming off the bench, but unless that happens he simply isn't worth it. You are right that we are thin on the ground...

If the shit was hitting the fan, do you think we'd see Jones pack a defensive scrum in the second row and Skelton at 6 or 8?

Reckon its going to be a draw.

As opposed to taking Siliva Siliva off us? We developed him more than you developed Charles.
