They put this game at Subi, a much bigger venue than NIB. So they clearly recognise the importance of the game. If they let Foley run out the "b" team they make a mockery of those who paid for tickets.

Same baa baa team that played England last week. They will have to aim up considerably against the lions. England gave them a whipping. Dean mumm is the only Aussie in the baa baas team that I could see and played well when subbed on.

I was more referring to the Aussie Conference.

To win what? The who gives a fat rats clacker cup. We've already got the wooden spoon sewn up, might as well run out a full strength squad against the Lions.

They wear red jerseys right? Yeah, no dramas. We'll smash em.

Ummm, supposedly we aren't going to have Beale or Dagg playing 15 for us. My tip is Barnes (though in all honesty it probably will be Beale, I hear stand up paddle boarding is a cure-all for whatever ails you). If it is Beale we will have a guy who has played 20 minutes in the last 10 weeks and...

Whoa, just saw this thread and started recording. Good call lewisr

We have had a really unlucky injury run with our young hookers who should be coming through now. Fitzy, Charles, Whittaker have all had significant long term injuries which has really hurt our depth considering one of our first choice hookers plays like a kamikaze. I thought Fitzy looked like...

Shocking crowd. The ARU and force board better pull their heads out of their arse soon if they want to arrest the slide.

If the Waratahs want any hope of breaking the line the support runners need to actually look like they want the ball. One fat prop mincing along behind the ball runner Isn't fooling anyone or holding any defenders in place.

Force love to loose to teams they should beat. It's their second favourite thing after grinding out the Reds with ugly rugby. It will be a major step forward if they can put away a team they should beat. The Highlanders are a much better team than their results so far.

Hansen, clearly.

I've though about it a lot and the only justification I can make for the inclusion of Timani is how effectively he locks down the scrum. His line out contribution is limited, he has rocks for hands and doesn't dominate the contact like he should. But he is like an extra man at scrum time for the...

Great humour Pfitzy, but Charles was pretty woeful for the Force before he was injured. Hanson is clearly the 3rd best rake in Australia skills wise. Saia's strength has been his enthusiasm at the contest, but that doesn't cut it at test level.

My thoughts are that he hasn't selected a second 9 yet while he waits to make sure burgess will be available. If Burgess is available and he goes for a 3rd scrummie is he will go for White, as Phipps is basically Burgess lite. If Burgess isn't available he will go for Phipps who has more...

I could live with Cooper being omitted if there was a credible alternative. But JOC (James O'Connor) has proven he is not a brilliant 10 this season and the other options haven't even been playing 10. I've been anti- Deans for long enough now thinking he was incompetent. But now he has added wilful subversion...

Can Robbie ignore Quade now? I don't think so. Without Beale there is no credible alternative. He will be starting 10 in the first test.

Seriously, stop it. Just stop it now. You are so horrendously biased on this issue you can't look at it objectively. You fling shit like the quotes above hoping it will stick with no evidence to back up that QC (Quade Cooper) is singularly responsible for losing us games at the test level. In fact, the only...

It can only be physics. They must have better leg speed to impart more energy onto the ball.

If that is as good as Eberhson can do on defence, he can go home now.
