I think the Wobs definately won the collision last night. Was great to see them hold their own. Whatever our criticism of them has been lately, the forwards are defending as a pack and running themselves to a standstill doing it. With 10mins to go, I was really confident we could hold them out...

I thought it was shit house. I took a work mate who is a dyed in the wool AFL guy to his first rugby game, and was extolling the virtues of how great a rugby crowd atmosphere is. As the Boks went down the race and everyone booed them he looked at me and said "at least in AFL the crowd doesn't...

Sorry to see Harvey and Sidey get the chop, but they haven't been the answer we need in the back line. Great to see Foley jumping in and making his stamp. Something Graham never did. He seemed to think he had the cattle and was going to magic a decent backline combo out of what he had. With...

Uncharitable assessment of Phipps. I would choose a couple ahead of him, but to call him shit is disrespectful. He did all right when he came on. Give the kid a chance.

Just home. Thoughts from the ground: We got smashed in the tactical kicking duel. Boks were making twice the ground we were on their field kicking. Digby has bulked up too much and has lost some spark. Grubbers....AAArrrgghhh. The backline never really looked brilliant. Both trys came from...

Heading off now (200km drive). See you sandgropers there.

I'll let Hornet answer that one, but to be honest saffa crowds are pretty civilised and obviously knowledgeable about the game. They certainly help make a good atmosphere. Seems to be more families at Boks games compared to other opposition At the 2009 test we were sitting behind a family of...

Shame Nathan Charles isn't in WA (or the squad). He is better than Fainga'a IMO and deserves the chance to prove it. His positional play and situational awareness is worth a couple of extra trys a year compared to most other pigs.

He's serious. But you shouldn't pick on people with Tourettes......... :)

Fox just poo poohed it on the Rugby Club. Apparently they aren't involved at all.

Well i'm happy to finally see some improvements in Dean's selections of the backs. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) to 13 and bringing in a proper winger (Ships) is a step in the right direction. His Forward selections are still concerning though. I'm not too concerned about Lock cover. Dennis is an 80 minute player, as...

Just found it buried in the article Gaffachino posted, it is true. Poor bastard, wish him all the best. I guess this now means it is between Sheehan and Holmes for the 3rd spot. Hope they keep Sheehan, he has been a great servant of the club.

A colleague told me today that he heard Justin Turner has blown his knee out again and will need another reconstruction. Did I just miss this and it is old news or has he got his wires crossed? I hope not, because I think this would be his 3rd. I just checked The West and can't see the story...

If only Scorz, if only..........

Maybe if your team has the hunger naturally imbued in it, it wouldn't be necessary. On the other side of the coin if your team turns up to every 2nd test and wander around the paddock looking like it's all too much hard work, a not so gentle reminder of why they are there isn't such a bad ides.

It's actually quite amazing, but in hindsight those losses to the AB's have actually calmed me down a bit. Watching Robbie run up the white flag after the second loss and admitting that the team he has been leading for 5 years is a long way behind the best team in the world, has filled me wth...

"Right you pricks, you've hurt Robbies feelings so bad I have to give the after game address."

Yeah, not bad. One of his strengths is that he gets the ball out quick and keeps the backline moving. I hope we keep Justin Turner. We need to keep developing these young WA players. Josh Holmes is a know quantity, and with Sheehan in support I think we can take a chance on the young guy.

I hope for the Tah's sake, Cheika signs.
