We'll trade you. SA can have Giteau and we'll take Jak Pot.

He always does. but then he tapers. That's his problem.

Pretty good squad, happy to see Carter and Charles make it. Pek's an OK inclusion and I'm happy for him, but i'd be surprised if we see him this year. Maybe in the 23 at some point, but in the 15, unlikely. I think they could afford to lose a lock and add and extra back. For me that's Horwill...

Dominant tackles is something I more expect from forwards, but To'omua, Cummins and AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) are all capable of them. Genia is no more capable than White, maybe less. Folau is going to be 15, so that just leaves Mogg who has the aforementioned boot going for him. Kuridrani's forms not so red hot that...

9. White 10. Foley 11. Cummins 12. To'omua 13. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 14. Mogg 15. Folau There, done. That's our best backline based on form and building combinations for the RWC. Mogg would be the most contentious, but that raking boot of his is worth a motza when playing the big boys. I'm sick of facing off...

It's a testament to Beale we are discussing him for the starting 15. But I would be seriously disappointed if he was anything other than utility back on the bench.

This is where my thoughts have been going lately. Ice hockey style short penalties. It's the best way to incentivise an attacking team to keep the ball in hand while they have a numerical advatage without hurting the fundamentals of Rugby. A change I would make to the above would either for an...

The worst part about dragging a player into touch is its illegal. You've got to release the tackled player on the ground. But I don't remember any malice in what Weeks did. Just looked like a part of any game in real time.

I was working on Italics means an away game.

He would be a decent coach anywhere. But the ARU couldn't take the risk. If he had introduced Jakeball to the Wallabies and then when we didn't execute and lost, it would have possibly been the financial end to the Wallabies as the fickle rugby supporter abandoned rugby for a prettier football...

Force definitely have the worst of the travel, but lions have 18 hours less turn around. If the Force can't win this they don't deserve to be finals contenders. Force by 14

The last game agains the Reds is going to be brutal. They will fucking relish the chance to spoil our shot at the finals, if it is still on the line at that point.

My point was that he is quickly running out of time to put his name forward, but he will need to do more than he did tonight to make the Wallaby squad. He just doesn't dominate the collisions or make the impact through traffic compared to the guys he is competing with for the Wallaby 6 jersey...

If he did get suspended for calling Tom a liar, Horwill will be lucky to play before the 15 RWC for his outburst after the game.

Sunday arvo rugby is ace. More please ARU.

Will Ed O'dungbrain go down in history as the first Australian professional rugby player found guilty of eye gouging? Adam Byrnes avoided that ignominy by appealing his ban and having it overturned. He deserves at least 6 weeks off for the shear fucking stupidity of putting his fingers...

^^Agree except for White on form clearly ahead of Genia and 13 is still up in the air for me. Kuridrani has been average recently. Would still like to see AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) at 13 if a winger puts their hand up in time. Foley just played his way into 10 for me. His ability to play deep and flat to the line is...

Waratahs who helped their Wallaby chances: Beale, Skelton, Foley, Horne, Palu Waratahs who hurt their Wallaby chances: TPN, Dennis (anonymous) That should be Carraro's last start, got to develop Alofa.

It all hinges on where we play To'omua. He is the best option in both 10 and 12 so it comes down to where our best backup comes from. Cooper was our second best 10 option so it made sense to play To'omua at 12, but with Cooper out I think it is most important to move him to 10 and pick our...
