So now it's the "core"of the team? What is the definition of core? Given that they are still recruiting for 2013, core could end up meaning the ballboy joined in year 7! one kid lobbing at View does not come close to the cynical attitude of recruiting over 1/2 a team in years 9 & 10 for 2013.

Did the Ab's have any specialist wingers in the squad for this game?

Could have been, given a chance earlier. too late now IMO

Yeah maybe, but it is easier to win a lineout or a scrum inside their 22 than your 22. The backs still need to help the forwards with field position, momentum helps a lot in any game. Having said that, I would prefer the Wobs to go down swinging, rather than the Tahs attitude of trying not to...

I am not a fan of QC (Quade Cooper) as a test 5/8. No one wins the RWC Final in a fast free flowing tryfest. The fast and loose style (comparitively) of super 15 suits his game. Arm wrestles and 10 man games are not his strength. looking back over the finals of the RWC 2007 No tries 2003 1 try to each team...

Where does Domkins figure in all this? Thought he was selected in Oz schools originally?

so crowds and corporate support improve when the team is winning? Really?who would have thought.. But I do agree it that the RD re signing should have been handled differently. IMO the Board is empowered to reappoint JON,without yours or my feedback. BTW I always thought 3N games were just about...

That game was lost by players 1 = 10. when the 12 crashballed (as called by the 10) he ran into a waiting commitee of 3,since the forwards were being owned. All good players continue their leg drive at impact, he was held up at impact and not supported by his pack. had he run with lower body...

If you are too tight or can't afford Foxtel,you must have mates with it. If you are broke/ tight and have no mates, then go to a pub/club if you are unsatisfied with Ch 9 coverage. Why all the angst?

You are being tiresome, anytime a boy's name is mentioned you claim they are full fee paying. Then you say they are on academic scholarships, then you accuse the poster of racism. You obviously go to the School, go and ask ANY of the new recruits to the 15A's last year how they got there. I know...

Slash, you could not have seen much of these guys play. There is no comparison between the 2. Not trying to dis Borula, but in every facet of the game Donlan is superior. Watch what grades they play next year, You will see Donlan plays 1's or 2's and Borula play 3's or 4's.

I was not a fan, but am happy to acknowledge he had a tough job with a multitude of experts second guessing his decisions/strategies. Absolutely he handled himself with grace and dignity. I wish him well in the future

Anyone see the doco on the lions tour when Henry was coach? You couldn't argue he was better than ANY coach based on how he was portrayed in the doco. It might well have been selective editing, but it showed him in a very poor light.

A point of clarification It WAS taken to court, QC (Quade Cooper) requested an adjournment and subsequently entered the justice mediation process, whereby you meet the victims,take responsability for your actions and make restitution where appropriate.If the mediation is completed to the satisfaction of all...

That will do me, now QC (Quade Cooper) is a tactical genius because genia backed his speed against a front rower? QC (Quade Cooper) makes himself a target with cheap shit. Take it out of his game & the baggers reduce by more than 1/2. It's easy, if he is the stand up guy that some posters who have met him say he is.why...

Bruce, if I am reading your stats correctly it shows that we continually lose the 2nd half after a very even 1st 1/2. That suggests to me that we were good enough to stay with them for 40 minutes but not the full 80. Quite often in games, especially in test matches it takes time for your...

tackling is more about attitude and desire rather than technique. how do you teach desire?

When I talk Rugby with friends and watch rugby shows on tv, there has never been an obsession about reffing decisions,there may sometimes be a passing reference to it but then the attention is then back on the players and particular bits of play in the game. I love that about Rugby. I look at...
