Aussies aren't immune to a good ol' whinge. Remember the Bledisloe test in Sydney last year when Ritchie scored that try from the scrum? Bob Dwyer even titled his blog that week: Referee Blunder Denies Wallaby Victory And then you had comments and posts like: And for some...

I think someone else has mentioned that the bigger, thicker head gear may actually be dangerous for the opposition. But yes, I agree with the binding and the jerseys.

Really?? I doubt it. No-one is forcing him to play or not to play. The decision is his and he knew the risks of playing rugby and he knew the restrictions of what he could and couldn't wear when he signed his contract. The rules or laws of the game aren't too hard to find. BB isn't the first...

Yeah...fair enuff....it would make a great movie one day if they did pull it off !!

Was just talking with some mates today about the Columbian guy who scored an own goal ina soccer World Cup who ended being shot when he got home about a week later.....you know someone's priorities are f**kd up then....

I don't think Ireland will want to play the ABs at any stage.....it's a big stage to be looking for your first win over a team. Not impossible by any means but a definite long-shot.

And then all you'd need to do is put retractable wheels in the matress so he won't even need a stretcher the next time he's knocked-out.....

I play without any of the pads or headgear however, this year I've started wearing Skins after the game and man, I don't want to take them off for about 2 days....I was amazed at how much quicker I seem to recover - I love them.

I've often had a chuckle about his padding but honestly, who cares if he wears skins??

This is ridiculous though.....if you're that concerned about your head, then perhaps it's time to call it quits

The only obvious answer for Barnes:

The problem is that 'dominant and aggressive' will envariably lead to laws being broken at times. When you are attacking or making dominant tackles, there are times where it is impossible to not leave your feet or get trapped on the wrong side. I'd hate to watch rugby get to a stage where teams...

I, for one, am glad Piatau didn't get suspended. If I was Tom Carter, I would have let a couple go no doubt.

Well maybe but I have discovered that I probably care a lot more rugby than it does about me so I treat it a lot like I do religon.....I'll go to church and some of the big events - but I'm not letting it run my life :)

I'm a big Pat Lam fan and I'm disappointed if he really thinks we lost that game due to Brown's call on that last minute try. I actually agree with Marc - our tackling was poor when it counted as was some of the decision-making. I'm sure Pat Lam knows that as well.

As I get older (and after the 1999, 2003 and 2007 RWC exits), I find myself realising that it's just a game after all and tomorrow will not really change much because of a win or loss. However, I actually like seeing the passion from fans as they get all steamed up over these things....so...

I thought you were talking about Bob's own whinging about refs at first. The Kiwi's who read his blogs, in particular, would pick up some great tips on how to moan about refs. And should we go back and have a look at some of the posts written here when the AB's beat the Wallabies at ANZ...

If, in time, QC (Quade Cooper) gets some of the 'presence' or 'calm' or 'inner peace' or whatever you call it, that Dan Carter always seems to have then he will be freakin' un-touchable. You can call me biased if you like but the way Carter seems unfazed by anything that happens on the field and makes it...

Not a chance....it would take more than a huge effort and a massive change in game plan for the Brumbies to win this one.

Honestly....that is rubbish. But isn't it the Argentinian Union's job to find their own matches??
