Simmons was wounded not dropped

It isn't about finding it difficult, it is about reality, it won't happen

Foley and Beale do a lot of inside passes at the Tahs, I would guess it comes down to the game plan in attack Larkham had the ponies going to the edges quickly quite successfully this season, he seems to be rolling with a second line of attack to go around the poms. But they are making good...

Hooper is playing well, vice captain and simply won't be dropped

With Gill leaving for France for a couple of years there is no long or short term benefit

I would have To'omua as well if he is actually ready, but to turn up at 12 in a test with no real form this season? Don't know Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

yeah, nah

:confused: yeah, because when your forwards are going backward you just get so many opportunities to kick goals

OK, I will bite, which 10s shine with their forward pack going backwards?

To me, QC (Quade Cooper) looked at his best when he could hand off to a running back (Digby) under pressure who could make the hard yards and the Reds could re-set, since then he has consistently struggled and resorts too often to 20m lateral miracle passes Nice to see him coming back, but he definitely is...

Nothing wrong with Moore's captaincy usually, he had an off day, with Nigel Owens doing the next match, it will be as much about the whole team shutting the f*ck up and saying "yes sir" a lot

Yeah, less Speight, more Tomane, we have little pace out wide and little ability to stretch a defense, just look at what the pace of Naholo does to a defense

Sorry, but wtf? We lost to a team who played better on the night, that happens, but apology? Would a ritual suicide by the team be sufficient?

There was the usual lack of effort of the support runners to do anything but shovel it wider. While it may have been the game plan to move the Poms around, without the guys running inside lines and different angles, the response is drift and tackle. We missed that other creative unit like...

I thought we were just outplayed, England just soaked up everything we threw at them., played the ref so well and slowed our ball continually. They made Phipps's life a misery and the forwards simple didn't react effectively enough. As Cheika said at the press conference they drifted off...

It is interesting the difference between the "analysis" here on Foley and Cheika's comments in the press conference http://www.foxsports.com.au/rugby Are we talking about the same person?

you aren't really comparing apples with apples, both Mumm (near 40 tests & 100 Super games) and Horwill (near 60 caps and over 100 Super games) had previous runs on the table (and are both "leaders"), whereas Houston struggled to get a game in Super rugby for the Tahs and then did just OK at the...

Houston wouldn't be in the top 5 or 6 8s running around the UK. NH form is nice but without some previous Aus evidence I think they need do stuff in super rugby first before real Wob call up. We also have McCaffrey & Grey starting at 8 in the NH, neither could get a start in Super rugby
