Remember when the Wallabies brought out the tackle bags after the haka and warmed up for an extra 5-6 minutes? Left the AB's standing with hands on hips. Good plan when we're at home. That get to do something traditional and we can do the traditional Australia arse around.

Nah I wasn't insinuating you did, just wondering if there were any particular comments made by the Wallabies that had been highlighted by the NZ press that made out the Wallabies didn't respect NZ. I wonder what else their using to gee themselves up. Something like: "Oi, Brad- I heard that...

What's he basing this on?

I've dished out my fair share of criticism about Quade Cooper, but I think this is a little extreme, Br.

Woolen jerseys was the problem, WJ.

Yeah, but it's like that old joke. "The Greeks invented sex; the Italians invented sex with humans."

That really is a quality B side. Enjoy the depth while it's around, lads.

Great video, Austin, show's there are some real opportunities for a team that's good at swinging it wide to good finishers. Anyone know of one?

I like this quote. The forwards will need to break the back of their opposition, then let slip the backs to deliver the coup de grâce.

Scored one of the greatest spectator tries ever in the final. I think that's his career defining moment thus far ;)

Giteau was is good form, but I think it's been tested by almost all possible criteria that he's a 12, especially at the Test level.

There's your problem. Trying to tell the backs what to do.

What about: 4. Simmons 5. Sharpe 6. Horwill 7. Pocock 8. Samo. I originally wrote this as a joke, looking at it now doesn't seem so farcical.

Definitely agree, Mr Guy. Last year we needed to use the Barbars game for squad development, and the fixture was against a strong opposition. This year we don't have the same need for it, and it's against a relatively weak opposition.

Is his English good? He could use the Russian's line; "I must break you".

I wouldn't be too dismissive about restarts. Games can be won and lost by teams that have a dominant kick-off. Wobs vs NZ in Melbourne last year comes to mind.

Maybe you should get over it?

Sure, I'll take the spot. I can cover the back three.

Cover, but not be a dominant force. Elsom covers 6/8. McCalman covers 8/6. So why not have a specialist on the bench?

That's a real shame. I don't like the Springboks but a backrow like 6. Brussow 7. Smith 8. Burger would be a sight to behold. And maybe one of the few that could take the AB's backrow down.
