I'm backing the Boks. Normally I'd back the ABs as my second team but all this 'respect' thing has got up my nose.

France 16 - Australia 59 was fairly okay.

And who can blame us? ;)

I agree with the posters that say we'll see a transformed Elsom now. Form is temporary, and Rocky has oodles of class, except as a captain.

Why not? Substitute "playing very loose" for the overly-emotive "bludging out in the backline" and it then becomes a simple matter of Link making the most of Higginbotham's capabilities.

It is hard to imagine Samo, for all his qualities, being picked ahead of the far superior Palu.

It's early days. We've played only three tests. The team needs continuity, not changing.

I don't think 'whoopee' means quite the same as 'making whoopee'. Go into a bar and ask a girl for a whoopee and see how many think you mean a kind of cushion that makes farting noises.

This is right. What Cooper needs is options to choose from. He can give it to Diggers or JOC (James O'Connor) whenever they make themselves available. McCabe and AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) are like fixed pillars he can call on anytime.

Yeah, it's not like we called her Helen 'Pig Ugly' Clarke. Because we wouldn't.

Woopee?!?

JOC (James O'Connor) has had a couple of off games. You don't drop a kicker based on that, otherwise you'd drop every kicker, up to and including Dan Carter. Continuity is the key.

Much stronger than the team that lost to Samoa.

Yes, but now they're new favourites and they won't be dropped by Deans until he is forced to.

Unfortunately, like Gerrard, Gits can't play the Wallabies ensemble style. In Gerrard's case it's a lack of speed. In Gits' case it's a lack of width on the standard rugby field.

I'd lay money on that squad occurring, injuries allowing.

What I mean Joe is that he's underrated when the 'goes missing' tag is applied. He's been winning players' player points (and players' player awards over the course of a season) in the very same games that people says he goes missing. This is because many of his big hits in offence and defence...

Really? I think Palu is underrated.

I can remember three occasions when he missed crucial easy shots at goal - sitters - in the dying minutes of internationals. Two of them would arguably have won us the game.
