If Foley is the only one to get the chance,how does anyone else demonstrate their ability to play to the pattern?

True,but nobody does it better!

You predicting Foley is going to do an ACL? I think Cheika has shown his colours as to his preferred 10.

Because it builds depth by giving them time. I have always been of the view that this tour is a development tour. What harm comes from giving them a run? I think it was very poor form to bring KB (Kurtley Beale) on tour 1/2 way through, whilst there are players already on tour in his position that have yet to...

Many of the innovations on the Homebush video look interesting. Most of them require little capital investment. Changes to the precinct,additional services in the concourse are all good initiatives and are little more than cosmetic. I look forward to seeing these changes regardless of any...

You didn't mention Finger in the Reds pack? Is it me or has he grown a leg on this tour? I thought he has played his best footy for a long time,this past month.

If your timing is off,how can your line running be decent? Running lines is all about timing isn't it?

Where was the attack? I can't recall them breaking the line,so who is he supposed to tackle? I only watched it the once,but it seemed to me the Irish either trucked it up,or kicked it.

If you didn't know better,you could be forgiven for thinking that Cheika is deliberately not allowing that to happen. There must be a reason why it is yet to happen,I just can't think of one.

I never compared their W/L ratios. I only quoted Link's, in rebuttal to the concept that his tenure were the glory days. His record,and the fact that he resigned a little over a year into the job,demonstrates that they were not. Today was no better or worse than under Link's reign,or even...

Not as stupid as suggesting this squad has gone backwards since the coaches changed. Bear in mind he quit just before the tour started,the new coach didn't have a training session before they jumped on the plane. Hardly the same prep that Link had a year prior. Too much rose coloured glasses on...

How the fuck have they regressed? You make it sound like they had a winning record during Link's time. They didn't.

KB (Kurtley Beale) overruns it!

If the paddy's continue with their tactics,there can be no early mark for Izzy. Reduces Cheika's bench options quite a bit.

But did he? I'm not disputing they had numbers,but which numbers were they? One would assume that if Foley had 3 backs outside him,they would usually score. But it looks to me that Foley had a prop,a winger and one other outside him. That's not a certain try.

Enclosing it doesn't make the nose bleed section any closer. I sat up there for a RWC game,as someone else said,they are like ants. Anyway,build a new stadium at Liverpool in a marginal seat for $65M or $250M to tart up this place?

I would not want to be a SS club desperate for a bail out in the current climate. Undoubtedly it would be curtains.

No,not even. There us also plenty of double dipping going on. If you play club & school they count you as two. If you also play in a 7's tournament you are counted thrice. Etc etc.

$250M of Government handouts? They are dreaming. It will never happen. Next!

You ever seen 1st graders do drills with 3rd graders? The better players get no benefit. And my point was more about the value that the village clubs added,that you are so quick to dismiss. Logic would suggest that playing with a strong team against teams of a similar standard,will improve...
