FFS - do you reckon?? Amazing insight right there Mr Doug.

And as the Reds won it this year, it seems the Wallabies will be shit outta luck in 2011......you MUST have seen that coming!!

I don't know if those guys will play at Suncorp....especially if they win in SA. I mean, what's the point? Bledisloe and Tri-Nations will pretty much be in the bag. If the Wallabies lose this weekend or don't get a bonus point win but the ABs do get a bonus point win....Brisbane becomes Hong...

My cousin was on a flight from Canberra to Brisbane this year and saw him there.....he's a pretty good rugby player himself and he said Samo was MASSIVE....

I'd go with Thompson. To me Messam is more of 6 or 8. Both these guys get thru a pile of work tho.

I wonder if Henry will come under the same criticism PdV did for not taking a 'full strength' squad. There's 9 top choice names not going there. However, even without those guys, it's still a bloody good looking team - on paper anyways.....

All Black squad to travel:

All of that is great Mr Doug if your only goal is to win Super Rugby. And make Mrs Doug happy. Why don't people get that International Rugby is a big step UP from Super Rugby? Beating any of the NZ teams in the Super Competition means SFA compared to beating the ABs. The same can be said of...

I've mentioned this before but against SA and NZ, Palu's average rating from this site is 5.5.

Quade's career would be finished overnight.

The thing about the scrum was that it was rock solid if not slightly dominant on any of the ABs put in. It only seemed to go to deck on the Wallaby put in. So why wouldn't Crockett be able to keep the scrum up on the hit when it was the Wallaby ball? To me, he would have more reason to keep it...

LMAO....classic!! He's fresh alright :)

Being an elite athlete doesn't mean he's at all tough. I'm not an elite athlete but I'd put money on me being tougher than QC (Quade Cooper) is. Why? Because 'tough' is largely an attitude and state of mind. I love contact - hitting and getting hit. QC (Quade Cooper)'s history would seem to suggest a different attitude.

I've said that a number of times.....

I just watched that scrum where Kepu gets done again......geez - it really is awesome to watch!!

Now this one does bug me. Unlike the scrum where it can be hard to know what's going on (unless you're Thomond!), how f**kn hard is it to see forward passes and knock-ons. There were a number missed on Sat on both sides. Of course, I'd say most AB fans have issues with forward passes not being...

Al Baxter, McCaw, Woodcock....who the fuck are we talking about again?!?! I, for one, say 'good on ya' to Alexander for getting one over Joubert and Crockett. Exactly like McCaw, Alexander doesn't have the whistle in his mouth and he's just trying not to get too 'munched' at every scrum. The...

wow....that is some amazing analysis......

haka.co.nz for All Black stats....unfortunately they don't do the opposition - just the ABs

Nonu made 4 tackles and Conrad Smith also made 12. It ridiculous to say that the 'strategy' around Carter's defense was to keep the others fresh. I'd say they don't even have a strategy regarding his defense - and that's the point. They don't need to have a massive defensive realignment to...
