Please Don't suck Wayne Barnes Don't suck Wayne Barnes Don't suck Wayne Barnes Please.

England or France could. If they send a B team to Japan then Japan could. Next year, if Meyer keeps it up, the Boks could well beat them twice. Whoever tours can come close (See Ireland test 2 last year). So I say 1 year at most.

Just some stats from the game: JdV: 11 runs, 3 linebreaks, 7 tackles busted le Roux: 6 runs, 6 tackles busted JJ: 10 runs, 1 linebreak, 2 linebreaks created via offloads, 3 tackles busted Savea: 5 Runs, 4 tackles busted, 2 linebreaks

You just have to think that this was the Boks saying to the All Blacks "You aren't going to be #1 forever", and the All Blacks replying "You don't have any fortresses anymore" Game of the year so far. Both teams showed such passion and drive, I'd think that Meyer would be getting coach of the...

de Villiers is one damn fine player and inspirational captain.

Can't see the All Blacks being held tryless in the 2nd half.

Can't be much more than 5m. I think most of the Australian ones at 15-25m.

Pretty sure it's a soccer field that doubles as a rugby field.

I'd say Kaino and Luatua are some TRUE blindside flankers. Messam is more than capable in the role but very much a 6/8 mix. My money is on Kaino to get the role but Luatua will be snapping at the heels the whole way.

It used to be "Because Robbie Deans." I regret to say, it is now: Ewen McKenzie.

If it is expanded to 18 teams, surely the conference system will be abolished and it will go back to the round robin format.

Every time something happens, you hear him say "I've learnt a lot"/"I've matured a lot"/"I know I need to earn respect"/whatever. I really think he is just full of himself and never learns.

Link's selections piss me off. Robinson and Timani need to start. Tomane needs to be dropped. Hooper has been ineffective against big packs, Gill has shown he is effective. We are going to lose by 13.

@Moono sorry, we left JOC (James O'Connor) and Kurtley at home. Quade doesn't feel as interested when they're not there.

I don't know about that. See Mowen at 6 v Mowen at 8.

I think it's pretty obvious that Higgers is the first choice 6. However, we also know he plays damn well at 8. The best thing Mowen has brought has been his lineout operations (See the second All Blacks game this year for comparison of his calling and then after he goes off). If Higgers can't...

Slipper is one of our best THPs and Robinson is our best LHP, so the props situation really solves itself. Hooker problems is a whole other can of worms. I don't think we've seen a bad performance from Quade or To'omua and we won't see a dominant performance from either until they're given the...

Someone mentioned a team, time to start posting our own! Robinson, Moore, Slipper, Fardy, Horwill, Mowen, Hooper, McCalman, White, To'omua, CFS, Lealiifano, Kuridrani, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), Folau Anae, Alexander, Kepu, Timani, Simmons (Are there any other backrowers?), Genia, Cooper, Tomane (Wish there was...

Nigel Owens is a damn good referee and I don't think he'd screw up here.

We'll at least beat Italy, maybe. This is one of those times where we want a sports psychologist.
