    Jake White Quits Brumbies

    I don't understand how his line of thinking here at all. More importantly, where does his self-entitlement to coaching Australia's top team come from? Was this his plan all along? Coach the Brumbies and no matter what be shuffled into the head honcho roll because O'Neill promised him? All his...

    James O'Connor misses flight

    Geeez reading that you have to wonder if the ARU don't impose anything on James, whether the team will just say bugger you, we don't want to play alongside of you until you clean your shit up.

    James O'Connor misses flight

    Sharpen the pitchfork at least. That way, when the shit hits the fan you're good to go!

    Springboks v Wallabies, Newlands, September 28 2013

    Why not try all three out on the paddock? We've been using a designated pilferer for the past X amount of months and I wouldn't say it's having as big of a pay off as we're expecting. We're concerned about losing the contest at the breakdown so lets bring some more dynamic players into the mix...

    Springboks v Wallabies, Newlands, September 28 2013

    Big Kev finished in 2002; was the Captain of Rugby in our centenary year.

    Australia v Argentina, Sept 14th in Perth

    It could possibly be for covering the most positions. Shifting AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) gives coverage at 11/14 and 15, where's having Mogg would shift Izzy to 14 or 11 with no OC coverage.

    Australia v Argentina, Sept 14th in Perth

    I'm surprised Link with Hooper over Gill. Gill while not possessing the ball running skill Hooper has, appears to have more weight behind him and is stronger in contact in my non-reds bias opinion. Otherwise, glad to see White given a go, knowing Genia it wouldn't surprise me to see steam...

    Australia v Argentina, Sept 14th in Perth

    The Brumbies key players of that game plan failed to execute it when it mattered most. That's not to say I don't agree with the gameplan you and Braveheart have been suggesting. There's a critical aspect of that gameplan and thats putting pressure on the opposition team once you're inside their...

    Australia vs South Africa - Brisbane 7th Sept 2013

    Without getting on the front foot, we're essentially shovelling shit from the base of the ruck to our backs who have a defensive force moving onto stationary targets. Our attack from the first phase is compromised by the forwards inability to make the defensive team take a step back instead of a...

    Australia v Argentina, Sept 14th in Perth

    I'm curious, with Cooper and To'omua not playing badly, but not playing amazing, why should either one be dropped for Foley. Is there something Foley has that should warrant his inclusion (I haven't watched or followed any Shute rugby so I'm unaware of any games he's recently been in). To be...

    Australia vs South Africa - Brisbane 7th Sept 2013

    The problems Suncorp faces is the complete over-use by mutliple events each week, for months on end. The Broncos played the Cowboys on Thursday night at Suncorp, so the ground staff only had a night to get the field back into some kind of condition. Why the Broncos game couldn't have been...

    Australia vs South Africa - Brisbane 7th Sept 2013

    Last night we had the following players on the field at roughly the same time; Moore, Alexander, Sio, Fardy, Mowen and Hooper. 6 out of 8 possible forwards were Brumbies or have recently been in their "new system". This "hunger" and working as a "tight unit" was missing even when we had 3/4 of...

    Reds 2014

    I always thought Davies was faster ;) Interesting signing. I'm not thrilled about it considering Turner's previous injuries. We've already got Toua who hasn't completed a full Super Rugby campaign (or even a months worth) so having another injury prone back with Davies is a concern. Any news...

    Where did we go wrong? Wallaby Recovery thread.

    With the pressure Genia was getting during his box kicks, I don't understand why two of our forwards didn't block at either side of the ruck to give him an extra second back there?

    New Zealand vs Australia - Bledisloe 2, 24th August 2013

    While I agree with you that the All Blacks would have had something up their sleeve to come back at the Aussies, it would have been interesting to see how they played the game for 20 minutes with 14 men (Nonu's shoulder charge then someone being sent for cynical fouls). I don't think the...

    New Zealand vs Australia - Bledisloe 2, 24th August 2013

    So, if you were Link, who would you bring in. As a refresher the following backrowers are now injured; Palu, Higgers, Kimlin and Madness. That now leaves you with; Brown, McCallman, Dennis and Shatz and Quirk (but I believe he's injured?) who can play 6 or 8. The three of them that have caps...

    Where did we go wrong? Wallaby Recovery thread.

    Perhaps I missed a few things due to the extra beer I had to drink from the 50th minute mark. Could someone point out what Quade stuffed up? The biggest error I saw was a restart kicked out on the full.

    Aus vs NZ - 1st Test Sydney 17Aug2013

    The way you were talking about him, you were implying that his consistency was better than Genia's. You mean the 9 games he's played for Samoa? Is that all we're judging a "worlds best player" on these days? I'm sure he's better than Phipps and White, but to say he's better than Genia is...

    Aus vs NZ - 1st Test Sydney 17Aug2013

    Even Phipps has more of a claim at "worlds best half-back" than either of those two.
