I don't think you can start Slipper and expect our scrum to stand up for long, so switch he and Alexander. Our scrum has been at its best lately with Alexander at TH. Also switch Timani and Hooper. Hooper and Pocock in tandem in the last 20-30 minutes will work but we need a little more beef at...

Surely Alexander should start at TH if fit? Kepu was a disaster, lying on the wrong side of rucks and not doing much in the scrum. Alexander and Moore to start with Robinson in the front row. Leave the second row as is Timani starts at 6 with Palu and Hooper in the back row. Samo could also...

There needs to be more than just a couple of changes Slim because if we roll that same team and (non)game plan out against the Poms we will be on the end of another similar hiding. We again went into an important game yesterday with a solitary play maker. Most times we have done so in the past...

Sheehan to nine definitely Timani to 6 Dennis out of the 22 Barnes to 15 Digby to 11 AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) to 13 Taps to 12 Ben Alexander to start at TH Moore starting Fat Cat retained at LH to give us a running chance at scrum time Pocock, Mitchell and Samo on the bench with whoever is left Simmons will be on...

That was a very good display of how to lose. Isn't it supposed to be how not to lose? I am confused.........again

I was wondering the same thing after having been off the grid for a couple of months. Thanks

When are they going to announce the side?

KB (Kurtley Beale) was looking pretty good with his distribution in the last 2 outings. The open running try scoring rugby will come with a 5/8 getting front foot ball who is reading the game well and a couple of blokes outside him who can grab a half opportunity and make something of it. The return of Genia...

They were rushing up from the outside to shut him down. A couple of grubbers or chips were needed to keep them honest. I know....damned if you do and damned if you don't

I don't really "like" it, but thats the way it will go.

Great News. It has been back and forth over the past few months and that usually means that the Tahs will not get their man. This is very good for NSW and Australian rugby.

AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) should stay at 13. We need to find the right 12. McCabe is it for now but when Lilo, JOC (James O'Connor) and Taps are back on deck and continue to develop their respective games then one of them may be a better alternative.

I thought AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) was good again at 13. He is much bigger and stronger than McCabe and makes headway every time he takes on the line. Once or twice he did not pass to Digby because it would have been risky and Diggers was not in space. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) should be our long term outside centre.

QC (Quade Cooper) had a bad game for sure but I am not certain that all the comments regarding his attitude are on the mark. He is trying to do what he does best and it was just not coming off all(most) of the time. A couple of years ago when everything he touched turned to gold all and sundry were hailing him...

Cooper needs to stay at 10. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) at 13 and probably McCabe at 12. I wouldn't mind seeing Sheehan given a start next week to see what he has. I thought Phipps actually provided quicker service than WG has lately. He was just a little unsure of where to go at times and this caused some unforced...

Douglas and Hooper have both shown from the get go that they belong at the highest level. Phipps was hot and cold. We really lack direction without Genia, Pocock and Horwill. Sharpie was a good captain but will not be around for long. Graham Henry coached the Pumas very well on how to negate the...

3.Douglas 2.Ioane 1.Samo Sensational debut by Douglas. He showed he belongs in test rugby.

Could easily have been 20-6 in our favour at the break. We certainly have a very bad habit of making ourselves work hard for any win over the past 12 months. Argentina again showed a lot of ticker and will be very tough at home.

Support play has become a problem in the last year or two. Hence we have been relying on Genia to make breaks and give us go forward. One out runners are very easy to defend against. Last time out we started to get some combinations going in the second half and were making some metres around the...

A good win would certainly help to bring the crowd in to the next test there.
