I'm impressed that you can come to the conclusion that QC (Quade Cooper)'s tweets are all that's considered when people analyse him. And who cares about his emotional state?!?! If I was a Wallaby supporter, I'd just want him to make more tackles.

Just for the record...I've always been skeptical. He was being considered as the most important player for the RWC and he never played against the best team in the world?!?! I said that if I was JON, I would have put my best offer to him and told him that it would drop by $50k every time he...

He's part of a team Scotty. If he only feels the loss when he's actually on the field playing then add that to his tackling as something to fix.

Sorry Grouch...I don't even know what that last sentence means :) Look, maybe it's a bit tough to say 'bigger than the game' and I have no 'proof' as such to back that up apart from what I perceive to be a poor attitude or maybe a 'taking for granted' would be a better term for the things...

Yeah...it's a bit desperate but I'd play Faiangaa there....he's pretty good defensively at with Beale, Gits, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) and either Mitchell or Turner, you've got enough attack so to speak.... I'd be missing Mortlock A LOT right now if I was a Wallaby supporter.

If he just missed one tackle then yes - overreaction. But even his own coaches and team-mates seem to be getting tired of his seemingly lack of desire to complete his tackles. Just look at the stats. Honestly, can you think of any other international player in the world who is targeted as much...

You don't have to have the same skill-set as KB (Kurtley Beale). I'd put AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) back there....he was pretty good. If I had to pick between Cullen in his prime vs Muliaina in his...Cullen wins every time hands down. But Mils didn't have to bring the same skill-set that Cullen did to be a fantastic FB.

I keep saying... He's being paid $600K-odd for what? 1 year worth of work?? What does he care? Whether he learns how to tackle or not, if his offensive game keeps getting talked up like it's the most amazing thing rugby has ever seen, he'll pick up a pretty decent contract somewhere in the...

But he's got a beautiful long flat pass that no-one else can apparently deliver so that makes up for everything :D

Right...gotcha. I can imagine Invercargill would be worse. Wellington can actually get pretty bloody cold with the wind and Auckland gets the torrential rain at times.

Dunedin can be pretty unpleasant to play rugby in.

Mark Ella was with the Wallabies before the tour. Here's what Genia said: You must have gone to a better primary school than Will :)

I'm on the next flight to Italy....may be my only chance to play Test rugby!! Lol

You're obviously missing the point Godfrey so read slower. The Wallabies should win and win comfortably. NZ and the All Blacks look at Italy as a team to experiment against, try and get combinations going or warm-up. No matter what, we expect to win - even when half the team are simply being...

Here was the All Black team that played that game: 1. Wyatt Crockett (2 Tests) 2. Corey Flynn (5) 3. Neemia Tialata (39) 4. Tom Donnelly (3) 5. Anthony Boric (10) 6. Liam Messam (2) 7. Tanerau Latimer (3) 8. Rodney So'oialo (61, captain) 9. Andy Ellis (11) 10. Mike Delany - uncapped 11...

Surely the Wallabies themselves believe they are far better than these results suggest...surely?!?!

Okay....here's what I find so funny about this game. It's f**ckn Italy!! It shouldn't matter which players on this tour take the field - the wallabies should roll them by 20-odd points minimum.They are ranked 12th in the world, behind Wales, Fiji and Samoa. I can't believe some people actually...

Ummmmm....you're actually No 3 in the World at the moment. The ex #2 you mentioned are now ex #3. Just saying. IRB World Rankings - 15 November 2010 Position (last week) Member Union Rating Point 1(1) NEW ZEALAND 93.04 2(3) SOUTH AFRICA...
