I see the real reason for a lot of this butthurt is how playing in the B side doesn't shoo Cooper into the first team. Everything we've seen last two years shows he's clearly second choice at 10 (out of two flawed candidates) and Cheik/Larkham have him pegged that way. Therefore, excepting a...

Cheika surprised me with the number of changes, but that's not a crazy team. Gives a few players chance who we may never see in gold except otherwise in total emergency - e.g. Godwin Makes this match more interesting IMO. I just hope the dirt trackers can put on a cohesive performance.

He wasn't an official and shouldn't have touched the ball. Phipps shouldn't have pushed him. It shouldn't have been a penalty. Fucktardery all round

Thank god Dean Mumm was there to win it

Owens did his usual blind eye at the breakdown - this time the Saffas flopping on every ruck to nullify the Pooper. Pocock was continually pointing it out to him - no dice. Here's what seems to make Nigel 'the best ref in world rugby': - Clearly and loudly calling wrong decisions - doling out...

Maybe they're just not the only stat taken into account. Surprise!

TSF new forum software is interesting. Anyone been using it?

I bet that even if I went to Brett and his peers at Premier rugby clubs and asked: "Over the last 20 years, has there been a time when the ARU came to clubs with good proposals for the grassroots game, only for them to be shafted by infighting among those clubs?" The answer would be in truth...

Yeah, I think the more salient bits are how we've ended up in a mess.

So pulling out of SANZAR won't leave a lot of money to re-distrubute but some good points made very well by Brett Papworth here http://www.rugbynews.net.au/brett-papworth-as-you-sow-so-shall-you-reap/

Hodge trained so much at 12 in the last camp that most observers thought he was going to start, including Kerevi. Was carving it too apparently.

You mean the 'convenient draw' that the rest of world rugby called the 'pool of death'? Your revision of history gets more entertaining by the minute

Yeah, sorry. I forgot you did. Like Carlos Spencer?

In the bag

Me plus a few thousand

I will soften a bit and say that I'd like to see Cooper get a chance to show what he can do now in this team so that we can build some variation and depth at 10. However, if the Foley/Gits combo works well again as it did in the RWC, that won't be easy to relegate.

Just like the England series was Foley's fault and the World Cup success had nothing to do with him. But back to my point - on which rugby over the last year are you basing Cooper's selection to the Wallaby 10 role?

What rugby - since we last got trounced by NZ last year with him at 10 - are people judging Cooper's selection at 10 on? Fantasy is a potent drug
