Forget Quade walking out on the game, what about the good fans who have had a gut full of this bullshit. They are out there.

What would be the harm in bringing Bernie into Wallaby camp for a while as a consultant? This is not to insult Deans but he could also get some insight into the great Wallaby backlines of the last 15 years or so and incorporate it into his own vision.

Return the ARC as it was. At the same time, bring the ARS back. Both elite and regional rugby will benefit. The greatest thing about that year of ARC was the good showing of the Western Sydney team. The game needs to expand to thrive in the professional market. It won’t be easy but it is...

This will be a tight one but I will go with NZ by 5. The lack of a fetcher will hurt the Boks badly. They might be able to get away with it with strong counter rucking but no way will they get away with it against NZ. I expect the Boks to get the rub of the green with the ref on the back of...

I never rated him but given the squad we have, I don't see a need for him anyway.

Thank god he decided to retire. I would not have wanted him at the Reds.

Ben Lucas will drop straight into 10 if Quade was to go. QRU should be more focussed on straigtening out the books before they can shopping for a marquie player.

Jumping on that early flight from Wellington to make it for the GF last year also is a good indicator of how much he loves club rugby.

With or without the participation of SARU, come 2015 the pacific will be the next fronteir for expansion of super rugby. Given that we have not played a single second under the new structure, this is all a storm in a tea cup.

NEWSFLASH - SARU threatens to join the NRL. :)

I don't think he has the whole package for a head coach but as Reds coach their skils were excellent. As an assistant to Deans as a "skills coach" he would have alot to offer.

In all due respect, I think you are not seing the big picture. Move Giteau back to 12 and all you have is the continuance of a 10/12 pairing that has not worked. As I have previously said, Fainga'a will be better for last week. Some of his mistakes were costly but he was not a major aspect of...

I don't.

It was his debut don't forget. A couple of nervous mistakes would sum his errors up. Run him again and I bet he will be better for it and his combination with Cooper may just provide the composure we lack in our backline. He certainly has not cemented his spot but on the other hand he as...

A Vickerman Horwill locking combination (if both can stay fit) would go a long way to giving us that mongral edge we need. Combined with the Robinson, TPN and Alexander front row, we would have a very impressive tight five.

I agree with that Barbarian. It has to be promotional but I think it can also be a big help to Gitau. Not in a elete rugby sense but it will give his attitute a kick up the bumb to reconnect with grass roots rugby. There can be some real positives out of this for the game as a whole.

I don't agree Scotty. That is exactly where he should go to get into the groove. Participate in all the things that keep this gass roots level alive. Put his hand up to sell the meat trays down the local pub, lend a hand at junior training, get down down there early on game day and cheer your...

I think they are all improving. I think we need Hynes back in as he does the basics so reiably. Not at the expense of Beale. Leave him there to grow.

Pocock TPN Horwill The heart and pride in what they do is why I say this. The current Wallaby side is talented but this is the stuff they are lacking.

Good stuff. It ia a fantastic idea. Release more players to go out to other areas and do this.
