Where abouts is Cam Shepard in all this? Is he still in RWC squad contention and will come back in when he doesn't make the 30, or god forbid.........he's not injured again.

I think the Wallabies biggest problems are mental, that's why I advocate picking as many Reds players who are arguably best in their position for this RWC. They are the only Australian team in the last 8 years to be able to gain any sort of parity or even dominance over a Kiwi or Saffa...

Rocky Elsom has pictures of JON and Dingo naked with a goat. It's the only way Rocky being the captain, little own in the 22 makes sense.

Nothing summed up Rocky's night more than that first botched try out on the left wing. Our captain and #6 was a 50/50 chance of barging in over the corner against a winger on the slide, but he instead decides to stand up and try and put a step on, ending up in a turn over. Embarressing.

Not really. I don't believe i'm superior to the players, just calling it as I see it. The last time the AB's did the Kapo O Panga to the Wallabies was after the hand bag ad incident, the general consensus at the time was that the AB's felt like they had been disrespected. The nasty bit is just...

I'm not saying he can't have a good game againts them, but against the AB's he may be more likely to have an errant game. We all shrug off his mercurial form good and bad, as the way he plays it is bound to happen sometimes. It would just be a worry if he tended to have more errant games against...

The slow burn, such a beautiful thing.

Did anyone else see the Kap O Panga as a good sign........ that we had them worried enough to warrant the nasty Haka? Unfortunately they had little need to be. We are still mentally subservient to them. I espescially have a concern we will never see the best of QC (Quade Cooper) against the AB's. He grew up...

Yes, quite a strange comment. But maybe he has a point, most super evil villians do begin with Dr.........

As a big Sharpe fan I was gutted when I realised in the space of 6 weeks he turned from a must be fit for the worldcup or we are screwed to possibly 4th choice lock. But after a couple of weeks reflection I have come to the realisation, it may be for the best if we want to be a real chance in...

I stuffed the poll. I have Fox and watched it 100% on fox, but accidentally voted for Have Fox and watched it 100% on Nine. Who would do that? Anyhoo, Fox are running adds with Horan drawing attention to the fact that they don't have adds during the game. Pretty simple adds, almost like...

Pure genius, if we drop a game in the pool stages i'm going to claim this was our plan.

Either way, as a Wallabies fan I love your back 3.

The Haka adds something to the game, it makes it a special occassion. I believe the opposition probably get as much motivation out of the Haka as the AB's.

It's only a circle jerk if the praise is unmerited.

After this team is announced, we will at last finally get to see Deans preferred 22. If Samo is not in the 22, that will be his biggest mistake this selection campaign.

Toeva is back, and he hasn't lost a metre. In the ITM cup today he chased down a loosie with the line open 10 metres ahead on the diagonal. He cut him down carrying so much pace that he clean took him off his feet from behind. Didn't even have to scrag him.

Just watching that video reinforces how unlucky Nathan Charles was not to make the 40 man squad.

When is our team announced? I am hopeful that we can win, but not in any way confident. I believe we may have over come the mental barrier, but I still think we will struggle with the skills consistency and decision making we need to get the upper hand between the two teams. To my mind...

It feels like half the trys in the last two games have come from Smit being too slow to make the tackle contest.
