Yeah, no worries. Don't be discouraged by the lack of feedback, can happen in these 20+ page threads and some take a while to warm up to newer posters. I'm with you on everything but the media responsibility. These guys have shown they don't exactly need a written invitation to talk...

Welcome back. Did you catch Scarfman's video where he pointed out Kiwi spoiling tactics of guys like Ben Franks taking out Wallabies not attached to the ruck ? Worth a watch. The England game was a bit of a rugby lesson for our youngsters. We didn't treasure possession. England did. We kept...

Early Xmas present for you Scotty, here it is - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVBvT5xU2gk That decision shouldn't be a surprise. Joubert, like most refs, respects the more aggressive team. When in doubt, he will not bail you out. Anyway, just wanted to have a crack at this video business...

Found the video on a planet rugby thread. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytg5AcPWPSw I concur - should have been a penalty to us, if not a yellow card.

I've uploaded the clip of England's first try (Pocock getting taken out) at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pNX-rGBZic

I'm surprised not more was made of this. I was in disbelief both England tries were awarded. The first England try, Ashton deadset tacked Pocock who was in cover defence. Not to mention the obstruction to lead to the line break, which England were doing all day. An absolute farce. For the second...

Yeah, see, I don't think its just in defence that Quade has issues. I'm concerned with his lack of bottle. In attack we're seeing far too many cutesy chips and cross field kicks. Its usually Giteau who takes that soft option. Too often when the pressure is on, Quade doesn't want to know. But...

I don't think its about the team. I think its about how society and etiquette has changed. You just don't see a lot of classy behaviour and good manners these days. You can see it in the amount of booing & whistling when our kicker is taking his shot at goal. In both the Wales and England...

3. Moore. He was an absolute beast. My god, how many tackles did he make ? He was everywhere. 2. Beale. He's on fire lately, just makes good things happen. 1. Elsom. Good to see him play with genuine aggression. I thought Chisholm was the pick of the locks, he had a strong game.

Noddy isn't one of the best posters on here for nothing. He's summed it up perfectly - the less involved Giteau is, the more dangerous the backline. What does that say ? CULL NOW !!

This is news ? I've been saying this for half a decade and battling the objections of the Spin It Wide brigade on here. Without Larkham & Mortlock, its quite clear that the emperor has no clothes. Giteau needs to go. He is a cancer, an oxygen thief and a bigger wanker than Kevin Rudd. I'm...

Oooooh, are we doing rugby cliches ? It was a game of two halves.

Completely wrong. Learn the rules guys. He could quite easily have been penalised. And for what ? A pathetic John Hopoate type act of dickheadery. I think it says a lot about Quade's character, or lack thereof. I'm all for a "no dickheads" policy.

They don't fucking need to say anything, the whole excercise is bullshit. Nobody tells the hooker to throw into the lineout and the lock when to jump. It just fucking happens. And the scrum would be 10 times better off without wankers with whistles.

We have to tackle a lot better. The Welsh are superb offload merchants and have given us grief in the past when they get the contagious offloads happening. Personnel wise, I'm really only curious as to whether Slipper gets a start. Do they rotate or do they focus on fixing the engagement...

He's deadset the second coming of David Knox.

In other words, you agree. He's fatally flawed mentally. The real problem is the lack of an alternative. Nobody is screaming 'pick me' and the inside centre spot is a more pressing problem presently (couldn't think of another 'p' word to add).

I'd like to see Palu in at 8 and McCalman to 6 at Elsom's expense. I suspect they'll prefer to use Palu as a bench impact player though. Fingers crossed Douglas, Horwill or Vickerman et al come through for us next year. I don't know how much longer Sharpe can keep going.

3. Pocock. Class. 2. McCalman. Really liking his progress and workrate. 1. O'Connor. Match winning magic.

Great result and a huge confidence boost for a young up and coming side. Kiwis weren't great tonight but instead of fading in the 2nd half our guys pulled out a hell of a comeback. Areas of concern: - absence of counter rucking. A problem when our attack is based on quick ruck ball. It was...
