That was a fantastic performance from the Welsh with the off-loading in the tackle and constant backing up. Hopefully Dingo took notes and tells the S14 coaches to work on it pre-season so all our players can do it come the June internationals next year. I must be the only Australian who...

Fullback: Peter Betham (think he is in the Brumbies academy at the moment) Wings: Forget his name but he was the "third" Randwick winger behind Ratu and Frankie. Islander guy with plenty of pace. Centres: Barrett (Oz schools in '05?); Clint Eadie. Flyhalves: the 2007 ICS/ISA kid, forget his name...

I have railed on about this many times over the years at TSF and on hear. Next year I would love to see SANZAR block games together so that all Oz v NZ games are in NZ over a four week period (3 tests + 5 tour matches - mid week and JAB or Maori), Nz v SA in SA over the same period with the same...

Think they forgot two: "if you make a break run away from your support until you isolate yourself" and "if a teammate makes a break and passes you the ball make sure you drop it cold or let it go to ground".

Turbs, agree with your point but we have improved a lot in the last 6 months. Twelve months ago we lost a similar game against England, yet on the weekend we won going away (though I would have liked to see the Wallabies try to ramp it up in the last 10 rather than going into their shell happy...

I'm hoping that the S14 coaches and conditioners have been filled in on the specifics of the program so that they can put it into practise at S14 level as well. Otherwise the players may be back at square-one for teh commencement of the June internationals next year. I wonder how foreign it was...

Who do Scotland play in the next couple of weeks as I would love to see them in a tough pool for once so that they don't have to beat Italy to qualify for the quarter finals. Would love to see Argentina, Ireland and Scotland grouped together as that would be an interesting pool as all 3 could go...

I don't know about that Cutter as his replacement is pretty bloody good. His name escapes me at the moment..... Will be interesting to see how the change of coaches afects the two teams, especially if Hickey plans on changing the 'tahs style.

well he does play for Randwick... Personally, I don't expect to ever see Vickerman represent Oz again and if he does I don't think he will be up to the standard he has been. Thought this year his form had started to wane and the European option was the right time with quality youngsters coming...

France aren't really strong up front anymore so I would like to see Kepu and Alexander get a run off the bench in the last 20. Also, think we need to look at resting Morty and drop Cross altogeher. 1. Robinson 2. Moore 3. Baxter 4. Chisolm 5. Sharpe 6. MMM / Mumm (depending on Brown's injury)...

I was screaming for that (very quietly as I live in an apartment complex and didn't want to wake the neighbours) scrum to be reset and was peeved that they didn't show a replay of it - I missed the half-time wankfest so don't know whether Tune and Woods mentioned it. I assumed that somehow the...

3. Sharpe - his best game in donkeys. Finally playing like a lock - amazing what dropping a player can achieve! 2. Moore - greatin the set piece and a good workrate to match. 1. Baxter - Kept Sheridan quiet at scrum time all night and had a huge workrate around the park.

McLinden? Why not put Finger in there to push along his rugby development if you are going to promote a rookie.

I'll put my name down for lock, though the way I'm going around the waistline may need a lower number by the time the tour comes around.

Having lived not far from HK for a number of years I think that it won't be too hot at all. Probably like May weather in Sydney. The temps usually start to come down in mid-October. It should be good rugby playing weather - not too hot, not too cold and not raining (unless you are a forward like...

Pocock I can accept but how can you claim Vickerman? He was a SA'can who, after representing SA U21 emigrated to NSW and started playing for Sydney Uni. The only games he has played in Qld are for the Brumbies, NSW or Australia.

Well usually the first tour rule is what goes on on tour stays on tour. Then you have drinking fines for acts of gross stupidity or breaking tour rules like not wearing your bright pink shirt and hula dress at all times type of thing.

As I sit here in one of the worst periods of the year (no rugby for a number of weeks) watching my baby girl sleep I was thinking how the rugby calandar could be fixed next time the tv rights deal comes around (it will be negotiated next year if my understanding is correct). In the improbable...

Noddy, Andrew Slack etired 20 years ago and Oz' second best, Jason Little, nearly 10 years ago. Think you need to check your eyepatch.
