SFA?

He certainly didn't wipe the floor with To'omua.

That actually sounds pretty good, Unfortunately I don't think I have the time to watch that much rugby though. :(

Cost. I can watch almost any tv series or movie any time I want via the internet which is convenient and cheap and doesn't involve an ongoing cost. Paying $50 a month soley for the purpose of supporting your rugby team is very expensive. $50 all year round to watch around 15 super xv games for...

Don't the Channels have to bid and pay to show the games? The ARU could have dropped their price to televise the games on free to air tv. Their are 2 other networks who could have televised it too. I work in finance. The first thing you learn is, make sure you save enough money in the good...

Ten are showing infomercials instead. Come on mate. I'm sure a rugby game would pull more ratings then a bloody danoz direct vacuum cleaner. I would also argue that England V Aussie would surely be one of the more popular rivalries given the amount of Aussies with English heritage. If they...

Great so I can't watch the super xv cos its only on fox and now I can't watch the wallabies. No wonder rugby is losing supporters. ARU are idiots not getting a free-to-air deal.

I can understand his persistence with Phipps, he is mostly good, he just needs to knock off the 2-3 horrible passes that put us under pressure each game. But he does usually recycle the ball a lot quicker then Genia, and he has a more attacking threat then White. 100% agree on Foley though...

AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) will be the 13, he is a world-class 13 who is very unlucky to be behind an in-form Kuridrani. If Cheika doesn't play him there I would seriously question his coaching ability.

All I want to see is Quade start at 10.

and To'omua runs the ball better then Foley, he hits the gain line hard and keeps the defence honest... he is also a better kicker, defender and offloader then Foley. Has a better pass too. Just saying...

I actually picture Chieka-ball as trying to turn the wallaby forwards into a Boks style bash-them and counter ruck.

If everyone outplays their opposite number we win. Simple. If our locks are consistently being beaten by their opposite number then that means the rest of the pack will have to make up the difference. You may be fine with that but I am not. Players at least need the ability to be able to reach...

But he mostly disrupts opposition ball, he is almost like another fetcher. I always thought Cheika-ball was more skewed to toward dominate tackles and counter rucking, rather then low racking tackles and over-the-ball play which i think is more suited to Fardy. Fardy is great at cleaning out...

Maybe best on field for the wallabies but still outplayed by O'Connell.

Fardy is a massive loss. But does he fit into the Cheika-ball style? Unfortunately I don't think so. His work-rate and smarts around the ruck is what makes him so effective. He certainly isn't the pyshically dominate type of player required for Cheika-ball. I think this re-inforces the fact we...

So your okay with losing to France and Ireland? If we lose to England this tour this tour will be an undoubted failure. This is not acceptable for any team/coach/player no matter how long they have had with the team.

The only the thing that worries me is that instead of having the next 9 months to focus on the wallabies, Chieka is going to be focusing on the Tahs. So I don't expect a lot of improvement next year either.

Its not all the bench. In regards to the front row, then yes our bench is letting us down. But our starting backrow was having trouble against Wales, got clearly beaten by the French and the Ireland too. Maybe they just had a bad run because I think they played better in the RC, but it is...

I agree to an extent. I think we would certainly be noticeably more physical and better into contact with those 4 on the park. So in fact we would be "suddenly better". But I agree that even with the added benefit of those 4 their impact would be no where near as effective at Test level...
