If JOC (James O'Connor) plays 12 then they can split the duties in every game. :)

Of course you are, but replying emphatically to every post on the subject is boring. What post on the other thread?

I like to watch, all we're doing is analysing possible weaknesses in SBW's game that may be able to be exploited. You man love is getting in the way here. Please stop shouting down anyone who dares to criticise him. :)

New Zealand won't smash our first choice pack. We are susceptible to injuries though.

I don't think it's a consensus, Hornet. It's currently the Bruceians vs. the Robbians, and both sides are represented. Like you I don't think we can win playing traditional RWC rugby, so it behooves our cattle to demonstrate it is not really the case.

I don't share your hard-on, not yet. :) He's never played a Tri-Nations team. If they can't work him out, then I'll concede you have a point. As a more technical response though, it is known to take time to learn the defensive requirements of centre in rugby. Many leaguies' weaknesses in...

Genia Cooper Diggers JOC (James O'Connor) AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) Mitchell Gilbert That seems to get them all in, and is popular round these parts.

How many tries he lets in Super 15 may or may not be related to how many he lets in against Tri-Nations opposition. We shall see. What we do know is that high-profile mungoes have always struggled defensively for a season or two, and Sunni Bill played league in the forwards. Opposition teams...

Mmmm? Mitchell is a monster in defence.

Sorry Scotty, I missed last night's match because my i*****l f**d broke down. :(

There are two sides to 'handling' SBW. One side is neutralising his dangerous offloading skills. The other is exploiting his defensive (rugby) inexperience.

I agree. When you're weaker, your best bet is to play an unusual style. If you try to beat a stronger team at their own game because that's the 'winning formula' you will almost certainly lose.

This might be a minority opinion (Diggers is a bit of a protected species in some ways) but I feel Mitchell is far more effective than Ioane now, at the things Ioane used to do. He is faster, breaks many more tackles and is infinitely more dangerous every time he gets the ball. Ioane is just not...

What is it they put in the water in Queensland? :lmao: I live there, and it doesn't seem to be affecting me.

Oh, great. :(

Kepu a definite smokey for one of the three Wallabies propping spots. Any combination of Slipper, Robinson and Kepu works for me.

Gits should be on the bench because he covers 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15. In fact he plays those positions in every game, sometimes in a single run.

They are playing in Mesopotamia?

3. Nau 2. Beale 1. Mitchell But Nau does seem to be obviously hurt - he just keeps going down, then literally throws himself back in the action. Should have been replaced.

That is the wrongest thing I've read on this forum. And remember, this is a forum that includes waratah jesus.
