Bitter pill to swallow, but like when you try to worm a dog you wrap the tablet in a meat treat. The meat treat for Wallabies fans is that Nucifora doesn't get his paws on the job. Best and only way to get Link in now is for JON and Dingo to go in one hit.

Just an afterthought, we are pretty luck to have Mike Harris just waiting in the wings. He has proven to be a big game performer and solid option.

I was more thinking of his management of Burgess. Back in his "never use the bench" days, Burgess languished on the bench and thought....why am I bothering? More judicious use of the bench and an eye on the future from Deans would have kept Burgo at the Tahs and Wallabies. In regards to Nick...

Yeah, he's not international level. But Dean's man management skills now leaves us in this position.

Consider this. A super squad is 30 players plus 5 EPS, and only 3 of those are allowed to be foreigners (for the WF anyway). This represents 8.5% of the squad. In Western Australia, 40.7% of the population was born overseas. These numbers can't really be used statistically to prove anything as...

Just so you guys know, reading your petty sniping at each other enriches the thread in no way.

The AB's are ahead of the curve on this already. They didn't compete for the ball last night at all. Just let the Saffers have it and realigned their defence. Much smarter than what we tried. If you're not competing for the ball you can't be blown off it, negating one of SA's strengths.

3. Hooper 2. Higginbotham 1. Robinson (for his scrummaging)

Tough game for the young guys like Cummins and Taps to make run on debut in. Greasy ball and unfamilliar backline. Hopefully they get a chance in better conditions to show what they can do. Michael Hooper is phenomenal.

The scary thing is how easily they did it.

Woodcock should have penalised the last two scrums. Straight down both times.

Carter kicks a penatly. 32 - 16 now.

As a neutral, Rolland is destroying the spectacle of the breakdown.

Holding on??? No Tackle release required according to Rolland.

Not to mention the horrific forward pass before that.

When in Rome......

Messam has made metres well tonight. I ususally think of him as the poor mans Keino, but he is looking good.

Drop goal Dan Carter. 29 NZ - 16 SA

The AB's just score so easily. IN attack, SA and Aus currently look like they are running in treacle.

Tackle release?????
