My whole time? Wow.... Is it conceivable that someone will this year replace Pocock as the best 7 in Australia?? Not really. Is it inconceivable that someone could be a better 6 than what Elsom produced last year. Not by a long shot . If he wasn't the captain, would it be so hard to...

Here's some former AB's from the past 6 years who would possibly have played after their AB stint was done: Saimone Taumoepeau Jerry Collins Kees Meeuws Mose Tuiali'i Rodney So'oialo Casey Laulala Tana Umaga Doug Howlett Sam Tuitupou Sione Lauaki Chris Masoe Sosene Anesi John...

Personally, I don't care. If a player is no longer wanted by a Tier 1 team and can add value to a country that they have a connection to eg. grandparents - let them play. The best players in the world should be playing in the RWC

Agree with Pocock.....ROFLOL @ Elsom

***sigh***Isa Nacewa.....Auckland Blues....***sigh***

Possibly....probably....I think Beale would have scored it himself if Toeava hadn't slipped. It looked like Beale had gotten outside him anyways. Toeava slipping really put Mils in a no-win situation....take the ball or the outside man??

From the SMH. I'd agree with the Tongan PM - not all the best, fit players are participating in the RWC and it needs to change.

Actually, I think Naza is confusing Palu for someone else: Really? REALLY?? 1st Wallaby picked = something pretty bloody close to match winner wouldn't it?!?!?

This is something I've commented on before.....I'd say that he wasn't missed much at all in the Tri-Nations. His average rating against 3N teams here on GR&G is a pretty average 5. Oh....Palu like to bash up Fijians and northern hemishere teams like Wales but it's been fairly ineffectual...

Toeava slipping over definitely didn't hurt either....

C'mon....everyone knows QC (Quade Cooper) can step....I'd like to have seen him try to tackle you coming straight at him full-on.....I reckon that's more of a 50/50 proposition....

I heard he did but there were concerns that QC (Quade Cooper) would break :D

Hmmm...maybe. But that's my point.....you have to think pretty hard and grasp at a few straws don't ya?? Was that the first AB game under Robbie?? As a Henry supporter I though I would never hear the end of it after that game.....9 trans-tasman Tests later though it was a bit quiet from...

Weepu, Youngs and yes Cown - and I'm not fan of Cowan at all but off the international form of 2010, I think he was better than Genia. Of course I'm a bit biased but I think you'd be pretty hard pressed to say that he wasn't at least as good as Genia was. Despite being a bit of a dick. I...

I'd agree with that - that's why I only talked about Genia and QC (Quade Cooper). I still find it laughable that someone has suggested that the AB fear Giteau at 10?!?! I can't think of one game where he has been dominant against the ABs or has been the key player or even strongly featured.

I'd say he was 4th or 5th best half-back this year. Given this is an Australian rugby site why isn't this surprising??? And I'll think you'll find that there were even some people here suggesting that QC (Quade Cooper) be put on the bench on the EOYT.

Bahahahahahahahahahahaha (deep breath)...hahahahahahahahahahahahaha Bahahahahahahahahaha (deep breath).....hahahahahahahaha Genia was average at best the whole international season and QC (Quade Cooper) ended being hidden out on the wing by the end of the year because of his absolutely pitiful defense...

An interesting blog post from Pat Lam:

Not true. There was a little bit of talk about not having tough Pool games in 2007 but most of the blame for the loss went either to Henry & Co. for their rotation policy and not letting combinations develop or to Wayne Barnes. While the Super season itself may not be long, for an AB the...

I think this could be Brett's break-through year. Or maybe I'm just praying it is....lol. 1st-five has been so hard to fill since Carlos left. I'm still bitter the Blues backed Lavea ahead of Spencer. If Pat Lam can get the island boys going well in the proverbial top 2 inches - kinda like...
