I don't think the timing is a major issue there, Horwill was already a quasi-leader, it was said somewhere in this thread he was talking to the team in a huddle in a test whilst Rocky was sucking it in...so the transition would be fairly seamless. The timing is good as it would really...

Who will be the captain next season? Mumm or Rocky? Barnes?

What of Matt Hodgson?

It was a mistake in the first place though to pick him as a captain of Wobs without having paid his dues playing in the Super 14 beforehand... I don't think it was a mistake for Elsom to go to Europe, he'd be crazy to have passed up the opportunity as a young 'un! As for Vickerman, I guess...

It's the only game they'd ever remember and reminisce about in reunions years afterwards...so it's all systems go and no holds barred there! For many of them it's the only opportunity to make a mark at school in terms of their own sporting prowess.

Elsom's off to Europe, methinks...he'd better do that to get away from all that negative vibe directed at him!

What took so bloody long?

Have a strong feeling that the ABs will win with ease, given the fact the Saffies couldn't beat us Wobs when they had been back home for almost 2 weeks (for those who returned from NZ) and the Aussies had to travel from NZ less than a week earlier... Stands to reason that the ABs would have...

Had the campaign still gone ahead and worked, then the country's no.1 ranking would certainly slip if this article is anything to go by: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/woman/2885691/Which-country-has-the-best-sex.html

Sorry PB, am supporting the ABs... Reason is that ABs do more for the spectacle of rugby than the Boks do...(IMO at least)

In the vid, who's the fellow on JON's left please?

Mowen's with Brumbies now, eh?

Or are some players allowed to remain in Oz to play club matches to gain further fitness after the start of RWC?

http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/union-news/fit-giteau-gets-flick-as-deans-takes-a-punt-on-walking-wounded-for-cup-20110817-1iyat.html Tucked away at the bottom of the article it says: 'Meanwhile, the Waratahs have signed Ireland's backs coach Alan Gaffney as an assistant next year.' Discuss....

Speaking of 3rd half back, what's stopping Deans selecting only two, and call in Phipps during the RWC from across the ditch as a back up should an injury occur? That way, he has more options to select another player in other backline position, or even have an extra forward?

Goes without saying that Deans wanted to secure his future for next two years being based in Sydney for his family's sake as I believe his girl(s) go to a prestigious school in the North Shore... But but...had he not signed and then gets the sack after the RWC, he could have used the Tahs as a...

How about 'gimme a wally' for the Wallabies: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rO-_fhTltc From the Urban Dictionary: Wally A dance originated in Philly where a women is bent over, shaking her ass, and a man is dancing right behind her ass. Made popular by the song "Gimme a Wally" "Bend over and...

When the Bill went on a tour around Oz prior to the 2003 RWC, it went with several other trophies, think it was Tri Nations, Mandela etc...someone took pics outside my old hometown rugby clubhouse of 3 of my mates naked strategically behind these trophies!

With Wales and Samoa looking good, I further don't fancy the Saffies' chances of progressing past the pool stage in the RWC so the 40/1 odds of that happening looks good...

Vaguely read somewhere that Waerea Hargreaves is soon off contract with the Roosters and considering a return to rugby...perhaps Tahs are keeping a spot open for him not Elsom?
