Given the poor Wallaby scrum all year, I wouldn't have picked any Aussies in the tight five.

15. Beale - I love ya Mils but I think Beale has a more x-factor than Altiyan Childs and Sally Chatfield put together. 14. Corey Jane - the man has SKILLZ 11. Mitchell - only cos Gear didn't play enough Tests IMO.

Steenkamp Mealamu Franks Thorn Matfield Sharp misses out due solely to the Aussie scrum

3 Pages and no-one's mentioned Jonah?? Will there ever be another like him? Agree with Cullen and Carlos Spencer. Also Larkham - I'll never forget the try he scored against the Blues where he basically 'Superman-ed' over Carlos to get the ball down. Rupeni Caucau was absolutely untouchable on...

Is this the Quade Cooper who was up on criminal charges at the beginning of the year? Who held the ARU to ranson during his contract re-negotiations despite them standing fully behind him during the criminal charges drama? Who has the worst completed tackle percentage of any of the Wallabies...

I reckon the Capt. looks at his kicker and says, "Can you hit it?" If he says "Yes", surely you have to give him a crack. What does it say about you faith in your team if you then don't take the shot. If you really don't think they can hit it, don't ask - just go for the line.

Pretty much. I'd put money on myself to run over the top of him.

He was pretty crap but I don't know that any captian has been brilliant from the word go. The position takes some learning and growing IMO. Def better later in the season.

I don't think the All Black jersey should be open to players who want to play outside Super Rugby. I'd be happy for All Blacks who were playing in SA or Australia in Super rugby to be selected but outside that - no. The domestic competition in NZ could possibly be seriously ravaged. Anyway...

Quade has less mongrel than my daughter's pet kitten.

A couple more things about 'mongrel' Guys with mongrel often don't know what the f*ck you're talking about when you mention it to them. If you tell them that they have 'mongrel' or that they're 'hard' they think you're talking shit. They just think they play the game how it's supposed to be...

Kevin Campion - real mongrel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05qIr6HG9QU Mongrel is the hard, tough attitude that everyone's talked about BUT it is also about not taking any shit from anyone. It's not about playing dirty but it's also about letting the opposition know that they won't be able to...

We could have justified it going to almost any of the players on the short list....just they weren't quite as justified as McCaw.

Haha!! This is a classic ain't it! Quade Cooper could take notes on how to really start a fight...lol

Reddy, a few of the GR&G regulars grudgingly agree with the IRB. No way Pocock out-played McCaw this year. McCaw consistently leads the All Blacks for: * being one the first 3 to the breakdown * tackles made * turn-overs * ball carries As well carrying the captain's...

A bit of advice I once got when playing at 7..... If you're not cheating, you're not trying.

Check out the Kevv'y try against Counties at about 2.15 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6SYy5AjmtM

Neither the media or the public will care if he wins games. Guarantee it.

Even as an avid AB fan I can see the logic behind choosing McCaw at 6 and Pocock at 7. Both are so good that you'd just want them both on the field. I think McCaw is easily the better player in terms of everything he brings to the game but dammit - Pocock has been pure brilliance at 7 this...

I remember that vividly - bloody embarrassing that poor attempt at a tackle. I was actually reminded of that run when Quade Cooper tried to tackle McCaw in Hong Kong....funny to watch when it's not your guy getting smoked
