Excellent news for the rebels. A great player and is a great ambassador for the game.

Wallabies passing has been pretty kack for a while really, with the odd game here and there where it clicks. There also doesn't appear to be any set moves at all from what I can tell. The wallabies of the 80's and 90's always had those electric moves with runners going every which way before...

Experiment over. Ordinary player with impressive physique. No "X-factor" visible. Been given enough shots at the gold jersey and does not deserve more unless he starts playing the same way he does in the imagination of the Tahs fans.

What about Sam Lane?

^^^^ hahaha Seriously, I don't really care that much so long as it is the tahs front three running on. The locks can mix and match ( BUT: Timani should only be included in the training squad if he miraculously learns how to catch a ball and somehow levels up enough to earn the "Startling...

Ben Lucas. He is the reds fly half, not Mike Harris. Mike was solid at the start of the season, but things got moving once he was switched to inside centre and Ben started at fly half. Timani. Sheesh! Just don't see it. :S. Edit: Oh and KB (Kurtley Beale) is waaaay above them both as a 5/8. But it is not...

Has he been a standout in the tahs during the super rugby series (honest question)? I can't recall really seeing him as doing much if anything to make him a standout compared to the others. I recognise that super rugby is different to test rugby, but on what other basis do they pick a test...

Some very odd selections there... Hard to discern what the game plan is for using the bench, but then I guess Deans usually forgets that the bench is there anyway :/ Surely Mike Harris covers more positions than Nic White (though I confess to not being too aware of all the positions Nic can...

I am excited already for this one - the wife and I are flying down so will be great to see it live :) I think Joe Mac's side is probably ideal, specially the front 3. Just keep the tahs front 3 intact for the run on side.

Is he doing it in order to break up the tempo of the game? He does seem to do it after several phases of quick ball. I don't really know if that's the plan (or even if it is a good plan), but that's the way it appears to me. I don't really like it though, it seems to take forever some times.

hahaha, it does read like that doesn't it... however, we are still in the running...

Depends on how many Reds players get screwed up by Deans during the test window... If they come back having to be used to playing some stupid game plan/positional thing that is just plain confusing then it won't be good for them. If the majority of the reds are kept out of the wallabies, then...

My retraction was in reference to the team that was selected - not the case of RD being an uber coach. The team he selected was obviously adequate, as it got the result which was one of my criticisms. However, he did not use all assets at his disposal, did not recognise when to use the bench...

I don't care if it's an all tahs front three... Just as long as they are a unit. Quite ok with the team unchanged too. Gives hopes for some consistency and combination. Just hope these guys don't take it easy thinking they are going to win this one. Wales will turn it on this time for sure...

Wales will definitely be pumped for this one. The Wallabies can't afford to drop the intensity they displayed in the first half in Brissie. Just keep the team together and reinforce the combinations they have developed already FFS. A minor tweak here and there is fine, but unless QC (Quade Cooper) or KB (Kurtley Beale)...

Great game, both teams should be applauded for the spirit in which it was played. Sheesh some of those welsh guys are friggen huge fellas :O

Pride swallowed. Just chowing down on some humble pie right now. I was wrong. Spectacularly, epically, beautifully wrong.

Being a team game, one would think some thought would be given to how the picked players would complimement each other and a game plan. Not too evident in the selections made for this match against wales tbh. Edit: waiting to be proved wrong on Saturday though and will be first to admit it...

http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/community/threads/what-is-wrong-with-the-tahs.10787/page-26 I am a little confused... That thread would seem to indicate that the general consensus is that the tahs are very much out of sorts, unfit, lack confidence and, reading between the lines, likely to...

They weren't keen on sushi? The welsh will be really pumped for this one I reckon. I've never felt so uncertain about the wallabies as I have recently... Just so, terribly one dimensional. Anyhow, hers hoping the Australians get up for the win.
