Up until last night, I thought Skelton could be an enforcer with and without the ball and that Cheika could bring out his best, I didn't realise how unfit he is, last night unchecked the boxes I thought he checked. In hindsight, Houston at 8 would have been better to try, but can't blame Cheika...

Some of those players I would have picked for last night, but their subsequent performance or performance of others means going forwards to the RC I would give them a spell. 1. Slipper 2. Moore (played his way out) 3. Kepu 4. Simmons 5. Horwill 6. Fardy 7. Gill 8. Skelton (played himself out)...

The Wallabies aren't far off, discipline is a major issue, but it all stems from constantly being under pressure in our own half because we can't kick our way out. Our 9 and 10 create so much self pressure, and conceding 3 points is better than 7. Regards Skelton, his biggest problem is he is...

Quade on the bench is subject to eligibility, which was mentioned. As for you derision based on picking Genia or Frisby in lieu of Phipps instead of Stirzaker, cause he is the clear next choice....... bahahahahaha. You should go look in the mirror and deride yourself. Clearly he is not...

Why not? He is not an international 10. He is a great runner of the ball, he is good distributor of the ball, he is a capable defender. He would go well working outside of Kerevi and he wouldn't need to be the playmaker. It just doesn't make sense picking a playmaker at 12 to basically play 10...

Australia were beaten by a better team, across all facets of the game in all 3 games. Cheika was out coached in all 3 games. 1. Wallaby defence and discipline shocking. 2. Phipps is not an international 9, one dimensional and poor fundamentals. 3. Hooper needs to play tighter, spends way too...

Maybe if Foley stopped having so many shit games, those calls wouldn't come. If Foley needs a second playmaker, that says more about his deficiencies as a 10. I would take a player like Quade who when under pressure, still try's to influence the game. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't...

I think it is time to make some changes. For Sydney I would go with: 1. Slipper 2. TPN 3. Holmes 4. Carter 5. Horwill (C) 6. Fardy 7. Gill 8. Skelton 9. Frisby 10. Lilo 11. Hodge 12. Kerevi 13. Folau 14. Morahan 15. DHP 16. Sio 17. Kepu 18. Moore 19. Mumm 20. Hooper 21. Houston 22. Phipps...

3 - Kerevi 2 - Folau 1 - DHP

Even after calming down from last night, I can't believe these guys are highly paid professional players. The skills displayed by players in the amateur era are far superior to those of these professionals. 1. Phipps is so poor at his basic skills, can't believe he is an international half when...

Agreed, Kerevi has been a handful all night.

Kerevi has been one of our best tonight, Kurindrani seems a bit out of sorts, might be worth trying a Kerevi and Folau 12/13 combination.

Go the Wallabies, they are nothing if not persistent.....stupid shit and penalties didn work last week, but fuck it, they might this week.

I can't believe some of these guys are professional Rugby players earning mid to high six figure salaries. Basic skills are non-existent, poor kicking, poor handling, poor passing. A 10 still struggling to find touch, a 9 whose passing is less accurate than a smooth bore musket at 300 yards and...

You can add Foley to the list of players who should not be persisted with if we wish to dominate other top nations.

3. Pocock 2. Fardy 1. Hooper

1. Pocock 2. Fardy 3. Simmons HM: Mitchell and Hooper

I get all this and I hope that this standard is maintained.

Pretty much all average, with the exception of Uruguay which was very good (Kicking and Card dropping down from excellent) and Bledisloe II which was poor (Mostly due to Yellow Card which put Aus under the pump big time).

I genuinely want Foley play the house down each game and hope he does for the Semi and hopefully the Final to, as I want a Wallabies win. Would just like some objectivity and for the same standards to be evenly applied when analysing a players performance.
