Right at this moment I'd think that only a move to 10 might be on the cards. Would allow either Hodge or Hunt to fit in at 12. I'd personally prefer Hodge for his kicking skills.

A few things I noticed. The Wallabies great first half was built on the Deans' mantra of "play what's in front of you". Some might say there was a lot of luck involved in the three tries, but really it was great to see players back themselves and back up the ball carrier and come away with the...

TPN really should replace Moore but that alone won't fix the scrum. The Wallabies scrum still went backwards a couple of times after TPN came on. It became much more stable after Timani replaced Hanigan, and Rob Simmons also came off at the same time. I know RS is held to be a very good...

Thanks Slim, my error. Edit : Good think his name isn't Tauka, or the old Jack Davey on-air joke about "Every time I see F uc k" would come into play.

The "barn dance"defensive system wasn't so much in play in the second half when the Wallabies pretty well dominated possession. And from my viewing, TK did defend in the 13 spot when required - not at 12, or 10, or 11, or 14. The two halves last week were essentially two different games. I think...

What position does Sione Taufa play? If he happens to be a prop, I can't wait to see him line up against Sione Taufa playing prop for the Vikings.:)

Hopefully it's just newspaper hype and not the Brumbies talking in that fashion.

With a few exceptions, man on man the Wallabies are not so inferior to the ABs (and for that matter Scotland et al) to cause them to lose by 20 odd points and let in 50 or more. It is the structures that are failing moreso, and for that the coaching staff have to take the bulk of the...

Larkham would need to improve significantly on what he's shown at Super Rugby level to succeed at test level, but who knows, maybe with the wider talent pool to select from, he might just do that. In any case, anyone bar Nathan Grey would be a better prospect right now than Cheika.

I see no evidence to the contrary.

Ditto me. I was quite adamant before the game that the Foley, Beale, Kerevi nexus would be a large part of our downfall, simply because as a unit they are very substandard defenders, and the convoluted actions required to cover for them was never going to work. But, I see I am again hammering...

Win 2 means we lose 5. Is that really the pass mark for keeping Cheika in charge? But it's not just the figures; it is the way we are achieving our ultra-low points. Absolutely questionable selections with underperforming favourites continuing in their undeserved spots, combined with...

My god, that's saying a lot.:(:mad:

Too many Tahs. No, seriously.

Are you suggesting he should have been running to his kick-off spot because no way was he ever going to catch Squire.:(

RR, don't rate Powell?

The real issue is tht we don't know if he's our best option. Powell got about 10 minutes all up in the June test matches and wasn't given an opportunity to show if he's there or not. And has anyone enquired into the eligibility of Ruru? Powell was the stand out No 9 in the Aus Super Rugby franchises...

I can certainly see 50 points being put on the Argies, but I think the Saffas will be a whole lot closer than that. Only a converted try or two at most in it I believe. I won't be surprised if the Saffas actually put 30 or more on the Wallabies the way both sides are playing atm. My real...

I accept your take on Cheika- his time should be well and truly over. But to absolve Kerevi of all responsibility for his missed tackles ignores the fact that he was also missing a lot in Super for the Reds. He does have a problem atm, which might be related to playing at 13, but for whatever...

Sully, I have difficulty even believing they are not fit enough. I think it's all a smokescreen by Cheika to paper over his and Grey's shortcomings.
