I think last night (and recent tests) have showed that Timani, Hooper and Pocock are all reasonable as 2nd jumpers. The execution of our lineout has been the real concern - not the number of jumpers. If Pocock is out bring McMahon into 6. He's more than good enough in the air to fill the void...

Amendment: nor at 9. I included 11,14,13 and 15 as he played in all those positions last season, and 10 because people have been throwing around nonsense suggestions in the last few pages that he could be played there if Debreczeni doesn't pull up his socks. He's a 12 and should be treated...

Dear Rebels, Please assist the Wallabies in making Hodge a truly great long-term international inside centre by playing him there (and not at 10, 13, 11/14 or 15) throughout the entirety of the 2017 Super rugby season. Sincerely, The Australian Rugby Public.

Plus Hooker post-Moore. We don't have a solid back up waiting to go. Hopefully Latu can step up. I would absolutely love for Morahan or Naivalu to be given a shot and nail down the jumper. Likewise, against the French Baa Baa's I want Dempsey to put in a performance so good that Cheika has no...

I think it goes without saying.

I love you and your wonderful team.

3. Arnold 2. Foley 1. Coleman

Sub him in for Speight.

Agreed. I would've given MoM to either Arnold, Coleman (or maybe Timani). I thought Foley / Hodge were very solid as the midfield axis but not quite MoM. Hodge looks like a fantastic prospect at 12.

Should've been. Few mistakes in the first half and we fell asleep for most of the 2nd. Very positive signs though! Even if we made a million mistakes we've made a thousand more opportunities. Yes Wales are bad but youve got to ask why. We've had fantastic urgency and intensity for most of...

Where the fuck is Quade, Sefa and Latu?

Tbh you don't pronounce it how its spelt. "Allatoa" vs. "A-laa-la-toa"

Agreed. The starting players have gotten complacent and lost the urgency / structure.

Kepu with a silly clean out there. Dangerous and unnecessary. We were making metres up the middle at will then. Edit: didn't look that bad on the replay.

Little bit of Mick Byrne on show there. It was a while ago but Hodge absolutely smoked Halfpenny earlier. He's showing some real maturity, ball-playing deftness and physicality tonight. A real handy prospect. Hodge-Kerevi 12-13 moving forward to 2019. Kuridrani hasn't been half bad tonight...

Phipps adding referees to the non-playing staff he physically touches when he shouldn't.

Because the first half was a bit of a training run I think everyone thinks the second half actually is a training run. Some ridiculous passes thrown there by a number of players. We lost our structure and everyone looked a bit frazzled.

Stephen Moore you lumbering oaf. Anything was possible then.

We won one against the ABs last weekend as well. Shit is well and truly fucked.

Agreed. I'd never heard of him and initially thought "Oh shit whose this great big oaf they've got representing Australia on an international scale?" but he's actually been very well spoken and insightful. Get Martin, Kafer and Kearns to draw straws for who gets sacked. The loser gets his job...
