Well, it could go that way (and most likely will). The ball is in his court (I think you'd argue it has been for 5 or so years). It's up to Tommy to step up now.

What's better than having Rob Horne in your backline? Having two Rob Hornes ;)

I just rewatched this absolute gem http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WREmrQ6WC-Q Looking for some purely visual similarities between Bernie and QC (Quade Cooper), I noted: Long passing game, utilising the "passing-for, not to" theory Nimbleness and ability to beat multiple defenders one on one Accurate...

He did look pretty flat. Saying that, I think Tom Carter's style of play has a place in Rugby at the Super level. He needs to work on his offloading ability and his pace off the mark, but Australian Rugby is lacking the backline player who has bulk and will just truck the ball up from the 12...

I'm only trying to make this point; who do you pay more: the guy who builds your house, or the decorator?

Well, bring on the 24 hour sunglasses, cino's and excess digital jewellery.

I think TPN should be making 10% more than Cooper.

Yeah, but would you say that the AB's have a fetcher? McCaw isn't exactly a full time fetcher like Pocock is, but neither is Burger; if Burger has to put his fetcher hat on I think he'll play very similarly to McCaw.

Very interested to see how Hougaard goes with some serious gametime. Must be quite relieving to see Smith back, am I right SA guys? Typically, the game will be won in the forwards. This is the clash of the titans for lovers of physically forward melee.

Would be interesting to see the two of them and John Grant, all immensely talented, fighing it out for the wing spots at Eastwood. Or at Southern with KH and Nicky Price.

Did you watch that match? He scored 22 points, spent most of his time being defense organizer in a side that was throughly beaten. It wasn't a ten out of ten, but has Giteau ever had a 10/10 game for the Wallabies?

He played well in Perth too, he held up his part of the 10-12 channel. Being anti-Giteau seems to be the new black.

Ripia will have to play in Australia for three years to be eligible to play for the Wallabies according to this : http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/union-news/maori-star-signs-for-western-force-and-commits-to-australia-20100817-127iu.html

Don't let Naza hear you recommend Turner...

PB has my backing. He is a solid gold hotline to the mood and developments in SA, and one of the best foreign contributers to the site. If he wants to post a South African perspective on issues on this site, by all means do so. This may be an Aussie site, but that doesn't mean we cant accept...

Pfft, wannabe bogan more like. Penruff, now thats the real McCoy. :thumb

I can see it now. The Argies jump into the Tri Nations, bring two teams to the Super 15, plus a Pacific Islander team or two and a Japanese side. A-OK.

I think he's refering to Barnes' form on the weekend. He was quite good.

Only good thing I've ever seen him do (keeping in mind I see him play very few times a year) was this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmIulhMWc-o&feature=related
