Yeh or wright or ikitua.. there were 4 or 5 guys that clearly had a bigger impact on the game. But given its his debut im ok with it. Also its probably the best thing rugby australia could ask for. All my league mates were discussing it this morningand asking me how they can find a replay

Any idea what time the team is named?

Actually pretty pumped for next year's Super season. With the death of the Rebels the quality and depth of the Aussie teams looks, on paper, to be the best we've seen in years. It has long been suggested that reducing the number of super side (and thereby increasing the quality and depth of the...

Where did i say an agressive player cant improve until the end of their career? Maybe reread my post.

Swain seems like the type of player that might, hopefully, come into his own in his early 30s when he is a bit more measured, a bit wiser. Blokes that are hot heads tend to lose a bit of that when they leave their 20s. Guys like quade and JOC (James O'Connor) come to mind

I might be getting a bit off topic from this weekend's game but it'll be quite fascinating to see what happens with Liam Wright once he's back in the squad. Schmidt appeared to have him as one of the main pillars of his starting 15 but with Wilson taking the captaincy, Wright might find himself...

The line on sportsbet opened at 20.5 point on monday. By tuesday it dropped to 17.5 and its back up to 18.5 as of right now. Suggests punters liked australia at the initial line and its leveled out at 18.5. Half time line has been oscillating between 8.5 and 9.5. After last week you'd have to...

Agree with this. Also i think Faessler has been pretty good in that run on hooker role (dare i say developing nicely) and i havent seen enough from BPA at this point to say he deserves to replace him

3. Wilson 2. McReight 1. Wright

Just watched the game. Might give my overall thoughts on our performance tomorrow cause im drunk and tired. For now ill just say this; the game was entertaining and the fact that game went down to the wire was a real credit to our players. I put $400 on the all blacks to beat the line which at...

Yeh i feel the same about swain.. really good prospect that was kind of discarded a few years back after getting red carded against england. Seems to have the ingredients of a test lock - big and abrasive. Seems to have taken a step back since he left the squad..i might be wrong but i thought he...

Nah they dropped a shit load of pill... including one about 5 metres from the line and one over the line. I think in contact we seemed to have better handling but we really struggled in the air. Schmidt suggested that the wind was making it hard for the players to track the ball

There does seem to be natural instinct on here to pile on Lolesio and blame him for the failings of the team. His performance was a mixed bag for me, consistent with the performance of the team in general. He definitely should be given some credit for steering the ship in rough conditions. Still...

It actually kind of amazing that we snuck a win despite fucking up pretty much every restart and knocking on about 8 up and unders in our half. If we can tidy up those parts moving forward we make life a lot easier for ourselves. As always the team had me pulling my hair out at times, but for...

Fuck it feels good to win. The perfect fathers day gift. Going to enjoy the day and give my full thoughts later and just savoir the moment for now.

I think this is pretty close to what we'll see, although I'm not sure what 9/10 will start. I would have thought we'll see Gordon/Lolesio starting if they are both fit.

Yeh my first guess was that Tom Robertson is most likely just there to pack down in the opposition scrum at training. Unlikely he'll play

Despite the result im not too down on the team...in the end the boks experience off the bench was the difference, which i expected, but we toiled hard and were in the contest. Its all we can ask given we are a team building from scratch against the best team in the world. Major positives for me...

I thought noah played ok honestly...reflected by the fact that schmidt kept him on the field until the last 10 mins.

What a shit take...this bok starting team has a similar level of experience to our starting team. I thought we showed good competitiveness for the full 80 mins. In fact the boks point of difference was their more experienced players, in particular kolbe. There's a lot of experience coming off...
