They were, but as much as they were great passes, the work of the other runners to create doubt in the defenders was as important if not more so. Having guys in motion is the key. It was great to see Kerevi in motion on a decent line instead of waiting on the outside in a static backline...

it is his ball skills and decison making that need work, the idea of him managing shit aus ball at the back of a scrum ................................ nah, not on current evidence ben mc or mcmahon at least demonstrate the skills needed for a 8 Sent from my Nexus 9 using Tapatalk

Timani simply doesn't have the skills to play 8, he has excelled as a limited short lock, hitting hard and running hard with the Rebels.

It is the tight five's burden to do the work whilst the show ponies get the rewards

Simmons is an enigma, he has played some really good rugby for the Wobs Hopefully he will on Saturday He maybe being selected to help shore up the lineout, the argies are pretty effective and having Coleman, Mumm and Simmons means we have no excuse in not competing at every lineout and...

It isn't always about Foley passing to Cooper, it is about them being able to slot in when one is in the ruck or on the right when the opportunity is on the left. We have seen both of them, when under pressure and alone, get deeper to give themselves more time as the opposition defenders fly...

Nah, he is all Qld (wtf is wrong with the Sunshine Coast? it breeds lunatics)

Some of the other things Foley is to blame for: 1/ Global warming 2/ Muslim fundamentalism 3/ Donald Trump 4/ No rucking laws 5/ Where Aus gets penalties 6/ Hilary Clinton

Hodge isn't going to be moved in his second starting game, he will be used exactly as he was in the last game. Cheika said in the press conference one of the things he was happy with was the way Cooper and Foley were working together; and if you go back and watch the game Cooper and Foley...

Foley won't be dropped, his ability to slot into 10 gave Cooper the space out wider on a number of occasions

Exactly rugby is about using the resources available, not wishing and hoping for some magical player to be excreted from the someone's arse. The Reds won the comp moving the ball away from contact as quickly as possible, not by having crash ball pigs getting go forward The Tahs by using two...

Even that can be sorted out, the Boks often have a guy on the ball runners hip driving him across the advantage line and becoming the first cleanout The Tahs were doing for a while as well It doesn't even have to be individual(s) in the pack, for a long time the guy to get us go forward...

sort of my point, the back row as a team do it, actually the pigs as a group do it

Agreed, but a crash ball 8 isn't the panacea to the wob's pigs ills without the 7 other piggies doing a tad more, a tad more effectively as well, especially Timani or Hollaway; both have majors pieces of their game that need work, lots of work

The All Blacks seem to survive without a number 8 with those attributes quite well

I remember watching an interview with Nathan Hindmarsh on his retirement he said that by half way through the season the majority of the team was being needled and his idea of a good pro was a guy whose performance didn't drop noticeably while playing wounded I would be amazed to see any...

Mate, these guys are all carrying injuries, a decent player learns how to produce a consistent 80-90% while wounded, they just strap & needle up and get on with it.

I can not see Cheika changing the first winning team for ages unless required to by injury. It doesn't make sense
