Elton Flatley wore one after his first few knocks as well but sadly it didn't seem to help much. Maybe gave him a little more confidence?

I call bullshit on that and I have not seen the game yet. They have been close to beating both us and the Jarpies a few times in the past couple of seasons. Today was the day apparently. Great for them but not exactly a fatal blow for Wallaby rugby.

So, James Horwill and Higgers in and possibly KB (Kurtley Beale) at 12 if Matty To'omua doesn't recover? It's a good game to see how all 3 would go starting. Scrum will be under more pressure this week.

Why the late team announcement?

Where is NZ on that map?

As an aside, Robinson has a good offload game as do Higgers and Horwill to a lesser degree.

Retallic was the main offload merchant against the Boks last week for the Darkness but all 8 forwards were doing it at some point, without doubt under instruction from Hansen. In comparison there were virtually no offloads by our forwards and we ran one out for most of the day. While this may...

We only need three and one and half 7s. I assume they can fly someone out if need be?

Good to see Robinson back on deck. Will he make the 23?

We got out of jail against Argentina. It looked for all money like it was going to be a dominant performance but never got there after halftime.

McCalman played well on the weekend but did not dominate. He was solid in everything he did and I was particularly happy with how effective he was jumping at 2. I would start him at 6 with Higginbotham at 8. In my mind a 6 is like an extension of the second row, sharing some of their duties...

Gnostic hit the nail on the head in regard to offloads. Our forwards just do not do it. Anyone who saw the AB-SA test before the Wallabies game would have noticed that all 8 AB forwards offload the ball almost every time they get it. The result is many more half breaks and breaks that...

This is a very young and inexperienced Wallaby side. Its easy to forget that now without Moore and AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)(on top of injuries to Genia, QC (Quade Cooper) & Pocock) that there is very little long term test experience throughout the side. We lacked direction at times last night but we got home. The most capped...

It's going to be a great game. Wallaby pack just needs to hold the Pumas and the backs will do the rest. Wish we had John Eales around now!

Only because there were no better alternatives a lot of the time. It puts a lot of pressure on the back row to be more involved in the tight.

This is the problem. We are playing effectively with 2 LH type second rowers. Carter has potential to be a wrecking ball but he needs to be stronger and angrier. Skelton needs to improve his fitness and set piece technique and he will fit the bill as well. Right now we have Horwill who can play...

Neither will happen in the next 12 months. Link needs to find the right balance with what he has on hand. edit - in their current positions

Carter has gone backwards since his debut. He doesn't fit the enforcer type lock role. If we persist with Simmons(which it appears that Link is going to do come hell or high water) then we need Horwill or Skelton there to balance the ledger, and a 6 and 8 that can contribute in the line out. Not...
