I like McCabe on the wing, allows us to play dual playmakers/kickers and allows both McCabe and Ioane to come in and take pressure off with midfield runs.

Yep, did u mention the wins Barnes was a part of, no. The 2 wins were in Bledisloe dead rubbers and while u can argue the tri nations means something the world cup took that good feeling away. Neither player is a nightmare or problem for the all blacks and I doubt they lose sleep about either...

That wasn't what was said in the first place, but in reply you failed to offer any reason why it was wrong either.

I will preface this by saying my preferred option is to play both Quade and Barnes. But what part of coopers game against the all blacks in the last couple of years actually makes him an automatical selection against them for so many like yourself? He has delivered as little as Barnes has in...

Couldn't agree more, test match rugby is about 1 or 2 chances and being good enough to take them. It's not abut throwing the ball around and playing silly buggers. I'm sure a few old timers like campo and Ella will be claiming it should be, but they would be smashed by modern day defense.

Agree totally, with white out, and a preferred 5-2 bench split, Lucas is the best choice by far.

Nice work. We could probably run a fan contest for no8. Have a run on with the wallabies. You enter by buying beef medallions at Coles and texting the barcode.

He stands as deep as it takes to get space relative to the speed of delivery of the ball. Problem is the ball comes slow he gets caught behind the advantage line. Cooper gets slow ball at test level, plays flat and force his hand creating errors. It's just more proof that we need to do better up...

Spot on, ad that last year he persisted with an outplayed and devoid of maturity cooper during the world cup and ask who is our plan c?

Agree, Pocock is a bit emo in his captaincy. Wen Richie was giving him face massages at every ruck he kept silently walking away, he should have put him on his arse and the fear of god into the ret of the team. Sharpe seems to have taken a step back to allow Pocock to develop as a captain as...

It's a thread for posting positive thoughts, the other threads are for negative and hysterical rantings. This thread is for fun. Maybe if you don't want to have fun you could leave the thread alone? Positive - Beales self awareness of his problems after the game showed great maturity and...

Case in point, post your negative thoughts in the game thread, the sack deans thread,the next game thread, the player rating thread etc etc.... This is the positivity thread, if you need to google the word go ahead and then retract the continued crap your posting in it. Positive - Robbie...

Couldn't care less, I'm Australian before I'm a NSWite, once you territory folk get out and about round this land you might learn what that means. I will always cheer my team and I will always be positive once the whistle goes, why should I ask people to put there body on the line for my...

Then rationally discuss why they didn't play well and then rationally suggest with reason a player we have that can accomplish more without providing weakness in another area. Nt just you slim and I'm not picking, a lot I people on this thread playing the man as such, if you want a change in...

Poor positivity thread, already descended into negative backhanded comments. U ask why your team doesn't win. Because of shithouse supporters. Give 100% support or don't ask it of your team. The biggest shame should be felt by those in this thread. Keep your negative, nancy boy, backhanders to...

Pathetic? Pretty much standard for the last decade.

It was Meh, it wasn't as crap as people want to make out, just Meh. Yeah the all blacks bombed a couple but so did the wallabies. So 8 in the end is probably a fair reflection. Both teams interrupted the others midfields, dagg was the real difference, Beale failed to inject himself in any...

Poor deans. I feel a bit like a hipster, I hated him before it was cool. Let's look at the results of the game thread for a clear understanding of the outcomes of tonight's games. For mine, it can be broken down into three options 1) we lose because deans doesn't know how to pick a decent team...

The question is fine, it's a question a lot of people on here have asked several hundred times. It isn't in depth and nor is any answer ever going to be because at the end of the day the selectors are picking a team to carry out a game plan they see fit to implement. There not selecting a team...

That question would only have had relivence before the welsh series. Asking it this week would have received. "the players performed well against wales, we have had an extra month in camp and I'm sure they can achieve those performances again."
