He needs to re-instil passion in the jersey and make all understand what a privilege it is for them to be selected to play for their country. This may have been lost a little with Deans coaching. The rest will come as we have the players to compete with any side on our day. Our day needs to be...

It is a little harsh on Alexander. He was doing pretty well right up until the last test and Kepu was not much better when he came on. It will be interesting to see how the new engage sequence affects the scrum. Are they going to be able to get the pill in and out before they come under pressure...

QC (Quade Cooper) is excellent at implementing a game plan, keeping his side on the attack by putting runners into little gaps and half gaps. He also has great vision on the field and can identify opportunities several phases ahead with the passing game to exploit them. He is a true 5/8. I would also suggest...

3. Mowen 2. Moore 1. Horwill George Smith - what a legend!

I doubt that McCabe will be selected at 12 again either but the point is Deans is devoid of ideas and has more or less conceded that the ABs will always be better than us. He once again failed miserably after going against the grain of popular opinion amongst well performed ex test coaches and...

That is rubbish. Two years is more than enough time to refine a squad under a new coach. If we do not change we will go to RWC 2015 with McCabe at 12, JOC (James O'Connor) at 10(or discarded completely) and the same front row. Deans should never have had is contract renewed early before the last RWC. Surely even...

I think it should be Link and if there are reasonable Australian options available in the future we should go with them. Cheika will probably be next cab off the rank. Having said that if White get's the job I am sure the Wallabies will go very well during his tenure. My preference is for a home...

This. Kimlin could have covered both Simmons and McCalman allowing Horne to come onto the bench as the third back reserve. It is a little risky with Smith starting but we all know he will probably go the distance, as will Mowen, Horwill and Douglas. If a second rower does go down then an in form...

I wouldn't be surprised if Mogg retains his place on the bench but McCalman? I doubt it when there is some in form quality ahead of him. We will see. Come on Dingo.....last roll of the dice son.

We were unable to stamp our authority on the breakdown in the last test and Poite is renowned for letting the breakdown rule itself. If he is fit Smith has to start and we will own the breakdown without Warbs there. Deans just needs to decide which young bloke is on the bench. Both offer a lot...

Smith would only start at 7 or be on the bench.... Surely? I would start him with Gill riding the pine with Kimlin.

BIG KEV! YES!! I would still have Kimlin on the bench in place of Simmons to finish with a bang.

The IRB backed the ARU into a corner if it is true that they stated the findings in this second hearing were final and could not be appealed. Pretty ugly stuff all around.

Is that why they are appealing the decision? Because someone feels he us a repeat offender? FAIL! Whatever happened before has zero bearing on this incident. Now, if found guilty it would definitely have a bearing on the punishment, Mind you be has a clean record having never been found guilty...

He carried well again and put in some very big hits in close. He is a 50-60 minute player and it would be nice next week to have both Smith and Kimlin on the bench. That assuming our 2 second rowers will probably go the distance. Gill showed his class today. Being able to keep his mitt on that...

If Horwill is not available, which is very likely, MMM to take his place. Smith in for Hooper and Kimlin to 6 or 8. Mowen stays. Cliff Palu to the bench. Hooper is everywhere but cannot impose himself on the breakdown. Gill and Smith will give us much more against a quickly improving Warburton...

The findings seem reasonable enough. Most are watching the incident frame by frame played very slowly which does make it look a lot worse. At normal speed it is tough to notice that anything happened at all. They are going after Horwill and I cannot imagine that they will find him not guilty...

He will He will almost certainly be gone for the third test. That is just bullshit. We all know the judicial process is a mess but why do they choose now to appeal a decision when there have been so many bad/non decisions over the past couple of years. The IRB, being Britain based, are...

Looks as though we will see both Tomane and the Badger, one starting and one on the bench.
