When you're trying to get someone to get off you? Have you seen the size of Pocock? :fishing

Someone once told me never to worry about things you cannot change. Now, obviously I dont follow that saying to the letter but we're talking about things that happened 3-7 years ago. Not only can we do nothing to change those decisions and events, but nobody can; they are in the past. Lets...

I expected the cornered Bok to come out in Brisbane.

What's the point of all this? I realise those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it, but lamenting past mistakes by the ARU on this forum wont have any impact on our current situation.

Thats the Italian tactic, isn't it? Dont engage anyone to the maul while defending so the opposition gets done for obstruction? I've seen them do it previously but I haven't seen a referee award a penalty in their favour.

Doubt it. Pocock looks very even tempered, and doesn't get distracted by the nigglers (like Burger). Pretty classy. Let the footy do the talking.

Bring on the 22mm studs. Lose the blades, especially the backs (who are much more likely to have them).

Especially when you replace them with an injury prone (but apparently good) player.

Maybe he's the Rugby equivalant of Caster Semenya?

Shorts are a bit tight, I think.

Anyone watched the post-match videos on the ARU website's RugbyTV page? Elsom looks absolutely exhausted, and Brown has the Crimean War look down pat. Pocock looked like he tried to tackle a bus at one point during the match when he was recieving physio attention. They may not have played...

Want us to count that three twice, one as your MoM picks?

Yeah, his individual stepping/one hand passing game will be missed, but then again Barnes in form is more of a traditional set piece flyhalf (see AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) tries last year vs Boks). I think if he gives 100%, the backline can be effective as, and the loss of Cooper wont be as big an issue.

Any news about whether Fourie got suspended? I think he should get the same punishment, they were as bad as each other.

Yeah, theres no disagreeing with that; the AB's will be another step up. If we want to win, the Wallabies have to fire up. Brissy's record against the Boks was talked up a bit, but dont forget we beat the AB's in Melbourne not that long ago (thanks to a bit of Morty brilliance). It's...

Very critical analysis of what I thought was an improved performance by the Wobs, at least worthy of a few kinder remarks. I thought Horne ran a lot of decoy lines, maybe not recieving the ball but drawing defence instead. Elsom looked great to me. Seagulled a bit, but he was always moving and...

Lee Grant = Dennis Denuto?

No need to jump to the opposite extreme though, chief. Wallabies fans are actually allowed to enjoy winning, guys.

Leaving it pretty late!
