I think our scrum is infinitely better than what it was at the start of the RC. We couldn't win a scrum of our own, let alone hold off one of the oppositions. Our 2nd row was setting up on their feet with their butt in the air and all sorts of shite. It is still shite, but is improving a...

Haha, I'm not even sure what AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) is even really trying to say, but then none of the wallabies are blessed with elite verbal skills. Genia is pretty funny to listen to because of the amount of cliches he dishes out - I think he has a sports phrase book in his duffle bag he must consult prior to...

Falou was roundly criticized on these very forums a short while ago for throwing the ball wildly once he made contact. I'd say he is most concerned with not losing the ball and it is the inability of any of his team mates to follow him and secure possession that is the real problem.

On a more positive note, I thought QC (Quade Cooper) and To'omua played pretty well considering how much pressure they were put under all game.

Some pretty unlucky 50-50 calls in that game. Wallabies seriously need to find some grunt in the forwards. Referees have tended to referee the way of the dominant team and currently we are not and therefore the 50-50 calls are not going our way. They also need to stop screaming at the ref and...

The in goal areas are measured out in light years in Japan :O

I thought that Gene Miles would have made a pretty decent seagulling style no. 6.

I hope Timani has a good game and proves me very, very wrong.

Kovana is on planet rugby, aren't they? Shouldn't you take it up with him/her over there instead if it is important to you?.

Are the scrums meant to be all pushy, shovey prior to the ball being fed in? If not, then there seems to be a hell of a lot of it happening prior to the feed - so whilst not necessarily wanting a law change as such, I wouldn't mind that being policed a bit more definitively.

@Gekko: highest impact to posting ratio. Funny stuff. SA and NZ to win all their games, OZ to win some, Millenium Stadium to claim at least one knee or ankle (hope I am wrong on that point, but it seems to be truly bad surface)

Fair call... It was a big statement, I admit :)

Unless one of the wunderkind returns from injury, I really don't think we should be stuffing around with the team much, if at all. The scrum, whilst still pants, is definitely improving from what it was. Surely the last thing we need is to just start again. Similarly wth many other aspects of...

I wish I could share your optimism @TOCC. Alas, too often I stare into my half empty glass and ponder the coming year under a new coach with a less than stellar record and the impact that may bring. I just don't know what to expect.

They called out a couple of incidents that Ralph Fiennes screwed up - but said that the all blacks definitely deserved to win. They commented on the munted error rate of the wallabies. Marto said that given the recent performances, he classified that wallaby performance as a win (I took that...

Deja vu, or a glitch in the matrix?

To be honest, it was a kinda slow morning at work until lunchtime, and was just being a bit nitpicky. (Didn't think i came across as offended, I didn't use "fucken" even once).

No, he doesn't make a salient point at all. @Braveheart81 makes an assumption that they saved money by rehashing an ARU report, whilst it could just as easily be stated that the reds made a decision to use ARU material given it was in reference to a wallaby victory and that overplaying the...
