I think Gits on the bench is saying something about his status within the team. The new superstars JOC (James O'Connor), KB (Kurtley Beale), QC (Quade Cooper) etc get a rest, but Gits has to front up. Any of the aforementioned three could have covered 10/12.

3 Beale 2 Pocock 1 JOC (James O'Connor)

Is Baxter fit, not that Robbies pride would ever let him send an SOS, but what if we all chipped in and had him sitting in the stands should Ben twinge a back muscle in the warmups.

Ioane is guilty of going AWOL sometimes imo. He will have to come back through the bench.

I looked into this yesterday, $16.95 to join for one month and $16.95 joining fee. $34 for the rest of the NH games isn't too bad compared to the price of a one off Mundine/Green fight on main event.

Has the Wallabies team been announced?

Maybe it's just the part of me wishing we see an end to the SA dominance in S14/15. I suspect the SA S15 teams will do better than the national team did in the Tri Nats, but I still feel they are relying on a few too many old players, who maybe past their best no matter how much the fans are...

That waratahs team is outstanding, on paper it will be a Crusaders/Waratahs GF.

I'd be lying if I said I saw that coming. I was expecting maybe an off the bench run against Wales and Scotland.

Any man who can end a post game interview with the line "lets go blow up some ducks" is allright by me. I like a player who can build a proffesional sporting career on grit and determination. I mean, he is the AB's starting 9 and he can't even box kick.

I doubt every one would be as positive if we had run up a cricket score, then held on by our finger nails to win by a point as the AB's raged back at us. I think the optimism comes because we have finally beaten the AB's in a second half. That speaks to genuine improvement, mainly mentally. I...

Preferably you should'nt use the same decoy runners each time, I would like to see the stats on the last time Giteau made a linebreak and actually made it to the try line, or more importantly how many he has made in the last 2 years.

I have noticed through my amateur sporting career, that as good players age, some of them have the tendency to start playing a bit dirty, to try and make up for that bit of speed or strength they have lost, and try and keep one up on the young pups. Just saying.....

Just going back and watching the final 20 minutes again, Bieber boy genuinely beat 3 defenders for that try. There can be no doubt about his finishing ability.

Oh well, look on the bright side, his next contract with the ARU should be cheaper. I doubt many league teams will be screaming for him with a tackling display like that.

I looked it up too Searsy http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/showthread.php/12629-All-Blacks-Wallabies-Match-Thread/page14 They certainly take a loss seriously.

3 Pocock - Ritchie has smarts and can handle a ref, but he isn't a patch on Pocock anymore, best 7 in the world bar none. 2 JOC (James O'Connor) - Not a fan of him at wing, but you can't deny the guy can finish a try. 1 AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) - Finally broke the line like a 13, with the step of a 15 to finish it.

Barnes to 10, JOC (James O'Connor) to 12? Though I do think Cooper deserves time to improve, when he is on the field he usually does more good than bad. His attacking danger isn't replicated by any other Australian 10. I'd leave him there for now and hope he grows some balls, because that is all he is...

If thats not the swan song for Gits as our first choice kicker, he has photos of Robbie fucking a chicken.

40% We have the skills and talent, but to win the ball needs to bounce our way and our kicker needs to slot his kicks. Mentally they are all over us.
