I disagree Mark I think they did the right thing chilling out on the Gold Coast, let them relax & recover from the bumps as they don't need any fitness work at this end of the season. Fly into hamilton 48 hours from kick off & then switch on for the game.

:thumb Thanks Gagger, Always good to watch your video clips, even better when we win.

Very strange not picking a back up lock on the bench, tells me that the AB's will just bomb from everywhere & make sure they don't kick into the Bokke 22. All Blacks will bomb & box kick all night & avoid lineouts like herpies so all in all "kickfest". They bettter hope that Thorn or Ross...

He is easily the most bizarre national coach ever. Considering how good this Bok side is ATM I would hate to see how good they would have been if Meyer was given the top job.

I don't want massive long passes I just want Giteau & Barnes to put a good 10 metre pass out in front of the man everytime except for the AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) try the outside men were either stoppng or reaching back for the ball.

I agree but that would have been Eddies coaching when he tried to make the Reds pick & drive for 80 minutes & get Barnes to kick to the corners in 2007.

I think the IRB should tell the refs that they have to play a minimum of 6 phases before calling ADV over. If Burgess is going to cop flak for his passing then the same goes for Barnes & Giteau those two have a horrible long ball. I know Larkham was probably the best passer of all time but...

Haven't seen the match on TV yet so only going off what I saw from behind the posts & I have to mention before I vote that flick pass from Genia to Barnes on the switch in the 1st half was fucking sweet. To see it live from my position in the stadium was just brilliant, I was in the 3rd row...

Aussies by 12 with a bonus point :thumb If we win our last two tri-nations games & Tokyo I'll be very happy.

Wrap arounds, one of the simplest moves a backline can do & still one of the most effective moves to date. As Noddy knows I grew up playing league & didn't discover real rugby until I was in my twenties but as a 5/8th in league I was lucky enough to be coached by a fella called Erroll Slingsby...

Tahu wanted to go & he was more injury prone than Mortlock, I wouldn't start Tah before AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), Cross or Ioane anyway.

When on form in brackets really helps this comment, so he was good back in 2004 & showed some spark in 06/07 but was otherwise shit in 08/09. Yeah league fullbacks usually shine in super rugby but have a knack of going missing in test rugby. The only thing JON has done to piss me off the...

No way I would say the total opposite, our defence will be better. I'm happy with the team although Mitchell for Hynes is weird I think Turner should have been dropped if anyone. Not worried about TPN throwing as Moore hasn't been any better & TPN has improved the scrum. The comment from...

I always prefer my captains to be a forward so I'd go with James Horwill or George Smith.

Deans needs to re-think his methods, the Boks power blew us off the park in under 20 minutes, maybe it's time to pick some bigger cattle. it's clear he had thoughts of playing a very expansive fast style of rugby which hasn't worked at test level especially against the Boks maybe he needs to...

How's the tackle stats, most missed Richard Brown with 4 & 2nd was Quade Cooper with 3 & he was on for about 9 minutes. :lmao: Anyway if Barnes isn't fit I'm keen for Cooper at 10 next week.

Big brutal boks that about sums them up in that 1st half. Anyway back to our little boys, Burgess to the bench Giteau to 12 AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) to 13 & either Barnes or Cooper at flyhalf next week. Brown left right out, still a fan of Pocock but maybe it's time to unleash Waugh. TPN in for Moore, Mumm in...

Both because Deans keeps picking players who continue to under perform. Deans so far has dropped Baxter(whoopi duckshit soft target) when Moore, Brown, Burgess & Horwill have all been drinking from the same trough as he puts it. And it's not like we don't have players to replace the above...

Has to come back for mine, we need a ball runner who can crash over the adv line & offload in traffic.

I've noticed that we (the wobs) seem to rack up the phases when Genia is on as he doesn't just get to the ruck & fire away even if he get's quick ball he isn't just passing to an isolated ball runner.
