Who are your 13s that are better than Horne?

I don't think we're too far off in the forwards in terms of our players, RedsHappy. Nau, Moore, Horwill, Robinson and Pocock at their respective best are all world 1st or 2nd XV contenders. Elsom has been up there in the past. Kepu is headed in that direction. Slipper could in the future...

Bugger.

Yes, and off the bench. Nau is wrong to start. He just destroy himself. Let him destroy himself at the end, and take some people with him.

Yes. Good attitude DPK. Go for the throat, like the damned ABs would! And do.

Yep, the capability to turn a game.

I'd play Richie at 6 and Pocock at 7 in a world team.

This is obviously right. Burgess is an electric attacking halfback with a wayward pass. I can't see how anyone can't see this obvious fact.

If the critics seem unhappy now, imagine how distraught they'll be if we beat the ABs. :lmao:

He's certainly got a big future. Just a smidgeon too late to be considered this year.

So: Alexander toiled in the tight, tackled, was solid in the scrums, scored a try, and chased Genia and Ioane 75m at full pelt downfield to be in position for another. Hmmm. I hope they never release these seagulls into the wild.

Now that would be something special!

Bon we'll know more after the All Blacks lay the Saffas on Saturday. I doubt we're favourites for anything yet!

Off topic: as a 'new' Brisbanite, I'm stunned by how nice it is here in winter.

I'm guessing the Wallabies run-on side will be unchanged. If they're available, we should see Burgess, Nau and Palu on the bench. Much more impactful.

The problem with the pushing theory is that the attacking team always has the potential to push elsewhere, by changing the point of attack.

Maybe we need vehicular equivalents for all our backs.

Good post Lee. Richie McCaw is the perfect example of a player who instinctively knows precisely how much work to put into every exchange. Also, JOC (James O'Connor) seems to have realised the value of sometimes taking the conservative option. Several times on the weekend he drove through the tackle area in...

I've rarely seen G&GR so unified in defence of a player. Good to see, and says a lot about McCabe.

How is Fainga'a like a cab? He charges too much and is easy to catch.
