Hyperbole Harry strikes again.

The only "style points" would be the 2 points gained by Barnes if he'd run it around closer.

Yep, good line in there too. "They need a controller at halfback, not a conduit."

But not dropped?

C'mon, Hugh!

I swear you post this every year.

"These aren't the backrowers you're looking for..."

If Canberra gets a game it should only be an afternoon Test or even a midday Test.

Not just in open play but also at the scrums. Deans' decision to sub Kepu - was this forced through injury? If not, that was a cataclysmally bad decision.

Horne on the wing? May be the only solution unless Cyclo has invented a cure for White Line Fever.

So we're poor, they're poor and we're going to lose. Did you ever participate in Project MKULTRA Gnos?

Can we get a British coach to send our players in? For a historic parallel, you know.

I'm guessing you're a former forward.

Honestly, Scotty, when I first read this I figured it was just Queensland bias, but rewatching the tape it it really was a super duper pass. Good call.

McCabe had Warburton on his left hand shoulder. The parallax error of the camera angle means that we can't be sure how close he was, but to pass to McCabe would have been to tempt fate. Passing to Horne meant the try was a done deal. Also, he had about 1 second to make that call. I think...

I think the only way we can truly find out if JOC (James O'Connor) can defend at 12 at the Test level* is by playing him there for a few games. *I don't think you can apply a lot of the defensive statistics from Super Rugby to the Test level.

It's easy to oversimplify, but personally I see Barnes as the ideal mindset and commitment model for a Wallaby, but Cooper's skill set is undeniably invaluable. If we could combine the two of them I think we'd get something very similar to Bernie Larkham.

Jiggles, would you play him at 12?

I think their similarity creates an element of synergy. Also they're not carbon copies of each other and the differences in their abilities still gives that centre combination enough dynamism. Also I just think Pat McCabe is awesome. He will literally run at anything (sometimes this isn't...

RH has a point though, bit harsh to throw that blanket over Smith.
