He is a more rounded 10, his running game holds up defenses, giving his outsides more space because he is a running threat - I actually see one of his biggest strengths is decision making when not to pass, he very rarely gives the ball to someone in a worse position, he will calmly take the...

As I have said before this is a young side, by the next RWC the back line ages will be: Foley 30 Beale 30 To'omua 29 Lilo 28 Kuridrani 28 Folau 30 We will have a pretty damn talented, experienced core back line

Highly, highly unlikely in a team built around two playmakers at 10/12

The reality is all our backs (and forwards) will have to up their workrates off the ball if we want to really put consistent pressure on the ABs. Chasing kicks, running lines, getting back to give the catcher options, getting up and back in the defensive line, getting up and supporting the ball...

To you, maybe not, but I expect his magnanimous gesture got nearly as much positive press coverage as the rest of the players in that final combined; and not just on the sports pages. Not bad for a bench player

Mate it was PR genius by SBW, just like him tweating he wanted to give spare tickets to some Syrian refugees.

i wouldn't say that yet, but there is hope

The positive thing about this side is that most will be around for a while, assuming form is constant, it will take some massive efforts to dislodge most of the current team. In the end it is a couple of wingers, a 12 and THP up for grabs for next season, and that assumes Gits, Mitchell, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)...

You think? SBW came off as a truly great guy and took over the media with a great act benevolence. Then SBW was given another medal win\win Now the cynic in me may think these acts can be contrived to improve someone's brand, but SBW just doesn't come across like that

Yeah, that is the "timing and planning" part

Three options should be sufficient with both locks and Fardy, the rest is timing and planning.

Is it Foxtel or the clubs? It would be just as easy for the Clubs to only open the side viewed by the cameras

Gentlemen, can we all celebrate a great game, by two great teams, without ending up whinging about inconsequential bullshit? I am tired and getting annoyed, just stop or move to mumsnet or http://www.rugbyrefs.com/forum.php

I expect there will be two playmakers so Kerevi/Kuridrani in the centres? highly unlikely - especially Kerevi, he needs a workrate improve; unless someone like Beale is at 15

It depends if Foley survives 12 month rugby

Yeah, no, a couple of units prepared to do the "forward stuff" will be required. The first two need to lose another 10 to 20kgs and other is too small for lock and not dynamic enough for the back row The ABs beat us through skills, decision making, workrate and athleticism not random crash...

I still think Sam Lousi has the potential to be a real weapon. Big, strong runner, soft hands - a "real" project lock if he can own say 2 in the lineout at Super level I also think Frisby has more sheer talent and threat than any of our other nines, but needs a "Gregan" finishing school on...

3 Fardy 2 Pocock 1 Beale

and then he has to deal with playing within a Richard Graham coached side
