1. Deans is shit, but he isn't to blame for players being unable to catch a ball or make a simple tackle or simply execute the basics of Rugby. 2. Deans is responsible for the team selections and well, pretty much everyone on this forum could see the disaster that was to come, from the team...

Well, I just put a fiver on the Argies to win by 1-5. It's not that I think they will win, but the odds were good and well, if they can produce the sort of effort they did in the RWC, who knows they might come up with a win. Sometimes the roughie wins.

After seeing the AB team, the Wallabies can't afford any aimless or inaccurate kicking, that backline will create havoc. The Wallaby forwards are going to have to play out of their skin if Aus are any chance of winning. If our forwards slack off or never really get into to the contest, their...

The Argies could beat the Wallabies at home. The Wallabies are too up and down and I think the Argies know, their best chance of a win, will be against the Wallabies at home and will be well and truly up for it. The Wallabies should view this game as potential ambush.

The reason there is so much negativity, is because for the last decade we have been subjected to a roller coaster ride from the Wallabies and there has been more downs than ups. Deans was hailed as the saviour of Australian Rugby, yet the roller coaster is still going. Every year it starts with...

Isn't this the type of tactics that didn't work for us against the All Blacks in the RWC. I am not saying it won't work this time, in fact, it possibly could, probably won't, but with the Wallabies riding their wave from the Wales series using similar tactics, this is the best chance of these...

I think 2nd in the Championship is a realistic expectation and anything less is a fail. The Wallaby team from the Welsh series was a good platform to build from, it just needs some attacking ability inserted into it. The Wallabies would have had nothing to lose and everything to gain from...

Considering we are ranked number 2 in the world, I would see 4th as a fail, 3rd as below expectations, 2nd as a pass and 1st as an above expectations.

Just as well we have a brilliant game plan, Beale, Ioane, Fainga'a and Horne punching holes through the defence of Sonny Bill and Nonu. I was worried about how we were going to score tries with that back line, but now that I know we intend to shoot 5.56mm rounds at Abram tanks, I am not worried...

I was one of those who thought the appointment of Deans was a good call. I have since changed my tune and can't wait to see the back of him, so much so, there is a part of me hoping the Wallabies cop a trouncing or two, to speed up his removal.

We will soon see whether Cooper not being seleceted is about match fitness or a Deans grudge. Mitchell hasn't got a lot of match fitness, yet, will be in the 22. I have no doubt that despite being out for over a month, probably closer to two, McCabe will walk straight back into the starting 15...

In the 30 man squad named there is a team of 22 which could win back the Bledisloe and win the Rugby Championship. Ultimately it comes down to which 22 Deans picks and if history is anything to go by, it won't be this year. I will still be cheering on the boys but if the team picked for the...

I would have Cooper at 10. 9. Genia 10.Cooper 11. Ioane 12. Barnes or Harris 13. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 14. Shipperley 15. Beale Two backs on the bench, White and Tapuai

The pubs in Paddington are getting right into the match this weekend. A number of them are decking out in Green and Gold, add to the mix the Wallabies and Welsh supporters, should make for a great pub crawl before and after the game. Combine this with the fine weather, which should encourage...

If Cooper is th future at 10 for the Wallabies, then Harris and Barnes are the two best options for 12 and personally, I wouldn't mind seeing Tapuai at 13 when fit. Shift AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) to the bench and carry either lucas or white as the other reserve back.

For mine I would go with 9. Genia 10. Cooper 11. Ioane 12. Barnes 13. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 14. JOC (James O'Connor) 15. Beale

The point is, just because his hand is on or near McCaws eye does not mean he was intentionally raking or eye gouging. He could have been trying to push McCaw out of the way, he could have been using McCaws head to prop himself up, he might have been coming in to clear another player out by...

Just because Rougerie has hand near/on McCaws eye doesn't mean he had the intent of gouging his eye. None of the photos show where Rougerie was looking or show him feeling around to find McCaws eye. Just Like McCaws fist and knee making accidental conduct with Parras head, Rougeries fingers...

What a thug Parra is, not only did he headbutt McCaws fist, he then went and headbutted his knee. Those two offences should see Parra cited and spend 3-6 months on the sidelines. Parra must have gone to Bakkies School of Thugby.

No case to answer. If McCaw wants to wear his invisibility cloak, then he is going to cop fingers in the eye, knees in the head, smacks in the back of the head, stomping on his foot and headbutts to his knee. Harry Potter found trouble when wearing his invisibility cloak, so does Sir Richie.
