Every time there is a poll about who should be the Wallabies flyhalf, Cooper wins. The ex-coaches on RH all picked him. I think he's still super popular. I also think that most people's negative response to Quade's comments last year had almost nothing to do with working class anything and...

It's fine to be pissed at the call, but the tin-foil hat stuff about the local networks is rubbish.

Give that waiter a referee's whistle. He makes that call better than the current ones.

Oh, I agree. My post was more than a little tongue in cheek. I think Palu is, and should be, a lock for 8. The question is whether Mowen or Higgers goes at 6, and my view would be that Higgers has the edge.

Well, he didn't fend Ali Williams in the face. That was pretty damn sweet.

The point was about the Brumbies and where McCabe would have played if he hasn't been hurt. Can't see White starting him at 12 if both Lealiifano and To'omua are healthy.

It's all moot really, since Phipps will almost certainly start next season and Cheika has made it clear he'll persist with McKibbin for this season (unless, presumably, the wheels come off entirely).

If Pat had been healthy at the start of the season, I think he'd have been in the side at 13 and Kuridrani wouldn't have got a chance to show his wares. White is loyal to performance, so he's been able to hold onto that 13 jersey. Barnes is in a similar situation.

http://m.smh.com.au/rugby-union/union-news/wallabies-or-bust-aru-boss-coy-on-plans-to-retain-folau-20130516-2jpbu.html Interesting stuff from the Pulveriser. Thank God we paid JON his $2 million last year. We wouldn't be able to afford it now, and wouldn't that be a travesty. Oh. Right.

Not sure why the Force would be hard after Horne. He's clearly better at 12 than 13 and Kyle Goodwin has more potential.

Would have liked to score Jones to replace Timani, but I'll be happy if Horne stays instead.

Nah, it's much quicker than that. If you live in the Junction, you just get a train to Central and then switch over to the express train to Olympic Park -- they leave from one of the inter-city platforms in the old, upstairs part of the station.

The Waratahs are playing their best rugby in years and facing a must-win match against a bitter rival. If the fans don't get out for this one, then they're hardly fans at all.

My first thought was, "Wait, what? People go to the ARU website?!" My second was, "Looks like the unpaid intern at the Waratahs got a promotion."

While I'd like to see Smith be selected, I think this is the least important of the various selection conundrums facing Deans. Hooper and Gill are both fantastic options. Australia probably has 3 of the best 4 or 5 opensides in the world. There isn't really a bad selection decision that can be...

Cheetahs are bloody good. I mean, the Tahs lost to them and everything. At home!

I can only assume this is a joke.

Link set the standard for this with the Reds. It's great to see Cheika following a similar path.

I'm gonna go ahead and guess that there'll be a back-up halfback.

Yes, that's how I read those comments. Let's hope the ARU end isn't the debacle it's been in the recent past.
