I guess their 6N opponents all wear dark strips.

I don't know if they wore it. But it's on their store as the 2010/11 change shirt and it's the same one they wore against us.

And the Six Nations.

The Poms wearing black isn't a stunt at all: several teams wear a black away strip. What was a Kiwi stunt was Stuff.co.nz getting an English girl to wander the streets of Wellington with a bad photoshop of Jonny Wilkinson in a black strip.

:lmao: Looks more like a cheeky New Zealand PR stunt to me.

Performance related pay works at the uppermost levels of business, which is at least as driven, and at least as rarefied, as top level sports. You might argue that business is driven by money, but in my experience there is just as much desire to succeed for its own sake at that level in business...

Cowan was more than decent this year for the Force, and he knows the Wallaby systems.

RedsHappy, is it the case that the Wallabies setup don't do some or all of these things?

Another thing to bear in mind is that in the S15 all the Australian scrums except the Reds were more than competitive against all the scrums except the Crusaders. Australian scrummaging has been far from weak this year. One reason for that is a general improvement of technique as the result of...

Excellent! England are crap!!!

And Deans. Drat that wormhole.

Whenever there was a knock on the Brumbies picked it up and scored.

England didn't beat us because of our cattle, they beat us by being more astute and wanting it more. In any case, we should probably expect to lose half the time at Twickenham. 50% away and 90% at home is pretty good going against a World Cup winning nation. So we shouldn't be so arrogant as...

I doubt he'll start.

I think Kepu and Alexander at 1 and 3 makes perfect sense. Alexander may be covering both sides from the bench, so he needs some game time at THP. I expect to see him get some time there in the TN as well.

I'm not so certain that Kepu will get monstered by Castrogiovanni. And I seriously doubt that Ireland will get the better of our scrum.

Was only joshing, Torn Hammy. Horne is so easily injured that even words are risky.
