To defuse a potential competitive program on another network.

I was thinking the same thing myself. He simply looks more dangerous with a face.

As a past ACL victim I want them too!

It's called the cruciate ligaments.

Exactly. What a cacophony of self-indulgent drivel we have here.

That's not true. The Deans family still lives on and farms Homebush.

Samoa was last year. There is no limit to the number of past losses we could wring our hands over if we're feeling especially pessimistic. Tonga 1973 anyone?

Beale has two problems. One, he couldn't run on his hamstring, which impeded his fitness. This meant he missed most of the SupeRugby training season that the national squad relies on. Two, he has the aboriginal body shape that many indigenous sportsmen struggle with when they don't train...

Surely that's the only place to become fit enough to play.

Yes indeedy. Hooper especially. How does he drive that smaller frame through excellent defences?

The point of "looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane" is as subtle as a sledgehammer. Even as a Rebels fan, I really can't warm to Inman's game. He plays 10kg below his weight, like Lloyd Johannsen.

In the immortal words of Phil Kearns, Inman looks like Tarzan but plays like Jane.

It's not about fear, it's about domination. The ABs regularly dominate our players. I's not becuase our players are afraid. It's because they're more physical.

Meh, he was sidelined with injury. It was Gatland's systems and selections and multi-year project.

Because Gatland sledged him? I've clearly been whooshed. Warren Gatland selects our officials? Maybe if his team had just beaten us he'd have some credibility but they lost 3-0, despite a better scrum and better backs across the park.

Done? Well, he certainly had his worst game for the Wallabies, and the worst game I've seen him play. But if you really think that is the best of him then we're indeed done. Last night's bad game doesn't undo all the good work he's done for the Wallabies in defence. Who would you replace him...

Getting in the clear of the Carter charge down and passing perfectly to Higgers who knocked on? Getting his finger on the ball between Money Bill and Jane with the line open? Granted he had a bad game but those are two good things.

That's a very nuanced post, ACT Crusader - good stuff.

That's not true of Beale at all. He's a great positional defender at fullback, often arriving at just the right time to make the crucial defensive play
