The scrum is actually quite good now. What we're seeing amongst supporters is the usual malaise of believing "if it's not the best in the world, it's crap". The front row is very solid, despite the loss of Robinson. Kepu is a very good loosehead as well as having been recently converted into...

Deans obviously pays a lot of attention to Horne. I wouldn't be surprised to see him get some runs early on in the RWC, and then it's game on for him.

Cooper isn't afraid to take contact in attack.

I don't agree, daz. If the TMO sees an infringement then he should be able to call it. I know that's not the case now, but it should be. The sole objective should be to have the right call made.

+1. The game is nicely set up now.

Quade is an Australian. :)

It's a good list. More importantly, do you have a full-sized copy of your avatar? It's my avatar 101 day.

I did a double-take before I read it again. Nice avatar!

A proud record for both of us, thrown away in a moment of madness. :(

Is there anyone you like, Tireless Backrower? :lmao:

A lot of bitterness on this thread. I hope that many of you aren't managers! Maybe he did the wrong thing, maybe not. Maybe he had a reason, maybe not. We'll find out. Whatever happens, someone sensible will decide based on what is best for him, the team and the campaign, and I'm sure there will...

I use 'allegedly' with all Growden 'facts'.

What has being from NSW got to do with disbelieving anonymous bile posted on the Internet? Unless you're being so precious as to suggest that people don't believe him because he's from Queensland?!?

I just don't believe that Giteau ever did that.

The key point is where Deans says: "That's a reflection of very much how the game's evolving, how the game's being played and being adjudicated." What he is saying there is that the role of the seven is evolving. He simply doesn't want to back Pocock up with a fetcher. If Pocock gets injured...

I call it how I see it. :)

I'm not sure a world class bench has to consist of world class players. What I mean is it will be one of the strongest benches in the comp, for a change.

The good thing is we'll suddenly have a world class bench, e.g.: Slipper Nau Vickerman or Simmons Samo Burgess Barnes or Horne Mitchell

Excellent post, MajorlyRagerly. I think it nicely encapsulates what many of us felt, but were too polite to say. Damned nice of you to make it!

A very good decision, made when it had to be made. Horwill will be a great Wallaby captain, up there with Gregan and Eales.
