Wallabies last Saturday. JOC (James O'Connor) picked to play at 14 after playing 10/12 all year. (Davies in for injured JOC (James O'Connor)) AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) picked at 13 after playing 14 all year. Pat McCabe picked at 12 after playing at 14/15 most of the year. Giteau picked at 10 despite not playing 10 all year (even when wearing...

Last week in the ITM Southland V Waikato clash, the hooker for Southland ended up in the bin (actually 4 players ended up in the bin, 2 from each team twice for fighting), Jamie MacKintosh steeped up and threw to the line out like he had been doing it all his life. Threw to the second jumper...

The system works.............hooray for my tax money.

It's the old chicken and egg scenario. The AB fans expect their team to win every time they run out, and they do more often than any other team. Which one came first?

I don't think Sharpe is being punished, I just think this is Robbies last oppourtunity to give Simmons a run against a side that we "should" beat. My only dissapointment is Samo missing out. I can't work out if McCalman is ineffective, or I just don't notice all the work he does. I think we...

What the fuck, I thought you guys were picking your B team? That team is very exciting, Aplon, De Jongh, Lambie, Basson, Johnson. It could be a fast wide game with a team like that. I like that young B team better than your old A team.

It must actually be a bit exciting to be a Tahs supporter, hopefully you get a new coach, get to have a bit of a clean out and see what rises from the ashes of 2011. It was time for Waugh to move on, as I felt he dominated the club a little bit too much, which while he was inspirational was...

The concerning thing with the Deans Wallabies compared to the McKenzie Reds, is the complete inability to change the game plan to suit the opposition and especially during the game when things aren't going their way. Admittedly this was the Aus A lineup, but it has been a hallmark of the...

$13 for Samoa. Would have been nice to had a hunge on them.

1. Cowan 2. Moore 3. Kepu 4. Horwill 5. Sharpe 6. Elsom 7. Pocock 8. Samo 9. Genia 10. Cooper 11. Ioane 12. A Fainga'a (based on great defence but more importantly combination with QC (Quade Cooper) and Sanchez) 13. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) (needs a chance to prove himself away from Giteau) 14. JOC (James O'Connor) 15. Beale 16...

The Wallabies can't win the world cup with Rocky Elsom as captain. This isn't a reaction and throwing the toys out of the cot post, I have held this view all year. I believe we lost today mostly because of the inexperienced players and the failure of the backline to gel. But by ignoring...

Anyone watching the Canterbury V Auckland game? The Canterbury backs must have been taking lessons from Sonny Bill, the amount of offloading is phenomenal. Crotty in 13 is cutting them up.

Rofl, I think Vidiot may have taken some poetic license for comedy effect in that quote. But irregardless ;) I agree with your post whole heartedly anyway.

This is just getting ridiculous. What are training conditions like? A gravel field with rock filled tackle bags?

TKB was good, but who the hell was that Elliot Dickson bloke in 8 for the Southlanders? What a machine. Time to start an ITM thread me thinks.

Hell yeah, in the last 3 years the Wallabies have won......................... um............... Well the Reds won, I guess we can give him some of the cr.................. um................ actually maybe that was the Reds coaches............ Hmmmmmmmm

Jeez that John O'Neil is good......... I just noticed in Daz's avatar he even managed to get the Aus logo on top of the other two on the bottom of the S15 trophy.

I imagine without the data to know what shape the guys are actually in it would be hard to answer exactly Bruce, but what would you be doing differently at this point in the season? I was of the impression that the majority of the strength work is done in the pre season and then the guys try...

I've been critical of Rocky's captaincy, and genuinely wish it had gone to someone else, but i've come to accept unless he goes down with an injury that will hold him out till after the world cup, he will be the captain. Hopefully as a group they can overcome Rocky's inept referee management...

Probably had the screws turned on them.
