I thought both Simmons and Van had good games against Leicester, I couldn't say one was better than the other. I'd like to keep both and play Mumm and Van with Simmons on the bench against Italy. Sharpie badly needs a rest to freshen up for the Frogs. I'd put Chisholm on the plane. Won't...

Classic.

I understood that the most likely source was the cold/flu medication; which, as other posters have said, has methylhexaneamine as a component in a very common over-the-counter sinus medication.

I also agree that the HJ post is excellent. If the soap dodgers beat SA on the weekend don't we go back to 2nd? (always assuming we beat Italy). Isn't this just a reflection of the fact that SA and OZ are neck and neck and each weekend can change the order? PS. If England turn up like...

I think we got totally conned. Remember those comments Ford made about trinations tests not being real. We all got so incensed about how stupid the comment was we didn't realise that it was not an insult to us but an indication of what England intended to do and was entirely for internal...

The one rating I don't agree with is Moore. He was Australia's MOM - look at the stats quoted elsewhere on the blog. In my view he was a 9, and I don't think any other forward was better than 7. The reason Fainga'a never made it onto the park was that fresh or not he would have been worse than...

3. Moore 2. Beale 1. A tough one, Pocock, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) and Sharpe fighting it out, give it to Pocock. Surprised that some voters did not mention Moore. I thought he was awesome and the other forwards were way behind him. Beale is similarly way out in front of the backs.

I like it!

Can I suggest you schedule some Twickenham games against more appropriate opposition - Romania, Uruguay, Russia perhaps. :D

Wayne Smith saw stuff in Higginbotham that I didn't see, McCabe beat nobody (linebreaks = 0), Davies was anonymous and I thought Van played really well. Eye of the beholder, maybe.

Others have seen more of him, I saw him two or three times on Fox, ESPN I think. In summary, bloody awful. In detail, his scrummaging seemed just OK at best but on field he jogged from ruck to ruck or set piece to set piece. I was appalled when I heard the Rebels had signed him, I have...

I think Reddy just won the 2011 "start a fight on his own" award already.

Would it be appropriate to suggest that the citing commissioner was wearing rose coloured glasses?

Well I was on an interrupted feed so maybe I saw a different game. I thought Brown completely outplayed Higginbotham who was hardly visible, Burgess was fine and drove most of our attack and Barnes was OK except for his place kicking. Barnes doesn't play 10 like Cooper, he's much more...

BH. You are a master of understatement.

Cheap shot. Deans is the head coach. He is in charge of making sure someone fixes all the problems. He can fix it or he can delegate. But its his job to make sure its fixed. With the scrum he has not done this. Gnostic and Redshappy would argue that this isn't the only problem he hasn't...

When the need arises? BH, I think you're either preaching through understatement or you missed the game last saturday. The need arose when the ref called "engage".

Not sure it is the real world. The real world as recorded on my TV last saturday night is that our scrum got monstered and that we were regularly penalised for early detatchment. It isn't too complex, there are about six factors that went into the mix: 1. Fainga'a is too small and too weak...

Reddy! He's a Queensland reds player. Have you been on the turps?

We will see how our forwards go tonight and whether any lessons were learned on saturday. With that pack we won't have it easy. Waldrom and Newby are good and the experts (Lee et al) say the front row knows what they are doing.
