I'm no coach but I agree that picking Goosen and Lambie to start would probably be the way to go in this game. I actually think the Boks will and probably should stick to what they're good at. But the kick chase gameplan only works if you have a dominant forward pack. The Boks will play...

shit. Id recommend parking at the Nerang Train station. It's just off the highway (one stop north of Robina). Park there catch the train to robina (literally a 3 minute train ride). Then when the game is over catch the trian back to Nerang (3 minutes).

I think you might have missed the fact that the tournament is not just for gays. all are welcome to participate. The whole point of the tournament is to highlight and raise awareness in relation to inequality and discrimination in the sporting community. It's not about expecting special...

Yeh mate It's like a mini-suncorp. Close to the field, not a bad seat in the house and the sound in the stadium doesn't escape. The corporate area leaves a lot to be desired but otherwise not a bad place to watch a game.

I expect it will get a pretty good crowd in the end. I think you'll find that a large number of locals will rock up on the night. Also Skilled Park is a great stadium for Rugby. I think it's going to be a great atmosphere on Saturday. I think it's important to keep in mind that the GC has...

Definitely, but how do you do that? I think a tournament like this is a good way to breakdown stereotypes that gay people don't play rugby. It makes people realise that there are probably gay people playing in their teams right now, that dont feel comfortable with letting their team mates...

my last comment is probably the death knell haha

The Wobs shouldn't be intimidated. We're no.2 in the World bitches! The argies are about to discover a rugby Fact this weekend. We may be a train wreck of a team some time, but there is still only 1 team in the world that can expect to beat us at home.

I thought Beale used to be quite good?

I thought McCabe was a bit one dimensional last year, but he was better at 12 this year for the Brumbies. A real tough to crack too. I will never forget the fortitude he showed against the Boks in the WC. I rate him head and shoulders above Horne. Once Tapas or OConnor move to 12, I think...

ha well it doesn't look good when you bold it like that

haha. what a bullshit comment. "I believe in equal rights to all, save for certain rights". haha. seriously give yourself an uppercut. Truth be told I suspect Gillard is not opposed to Gay marriage. she and the ALP just don't want to lose votes. In this day and age Politicians always play it...

Agree Swat. The definition of a hollow PR exercise. Gillard wont support equal rights for gays but she still wants their vote. :rolleyes:

I hope you're right. An inform Robinson will be invaluable next year. I'm hoping he gets rested from the EOYT and Deans can blood guys like Palmer and Ryan.

Robinson appears to be coasting on reputation atm. He has really become a specialist scrummaging prop for the Wallabies (offering little else around the field), so he needs to show that he is a stand-out in that area, otherwise bring in Slipper (who's scrummaging appears to have improved). I...

I don't know how you could pick Mogg ahead of Mozza. Mozza's been in the fold for a few years now and he's a quality full back. His individual brilliance against the Brumbies this season was the difference between the two teams. what the fuck did Mogg do in that game? We haven't seen Mozza...

I think that's a bit harsh. I don't think anyone on this forum are is suggesting that it was a complete performance from the Wallabies, but at the same time coming back from 13-6 down at half time against the Boks is nothing to scoff at. The team (particularly the backline) has been low on...

This team would probably beat our current team. I think it is a good demonstration of the 'reasonable' depth we are building.

Some great finds so far this season. Timani and Hooper look like quality long term options at test level. One of the most pleasing aspects of saturday was the scrum which had the boks under pressure and despite a number of changes throughout the game held its shape nicely.

I thought Phipps looked okay in the limited time he had last night. The silver lining to Genia's injury is that its a chance for Phipps to get some experience at test level against top quality opposition. We've already lost the Championship. Its a good chance for Phipps to show what he's got...
