Disagree to be honest. Ashman and Faessler is at worst a wash, and IMO the difference between Bell and Schoeman is bigger than the difference between Fagerson and AAA. In any case, the two teams are pretty evenly matched IMO - they are favourites because their at home, have more experience and...

But suits a tight 5 game, which is where I think our advantage is strongest.

Wallabies team to play Scotland at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh on Sunday November 24 at 1:10pm GMT/12:10am AEDT. 1.⁠ ⁠Angus Bell (34 Tests) – Hunters Hill Rugby 2.⁠ ⁠Matt Faessler (14 Tests) – USQ Saints 3.⁠ ⁠Allan Ala'alatoa (78 Tests) – West Harbour Juniors 4.⁠ ⁠Jeremy Williams (9 Tests) –...

Obviously he's a different frame...but I think Frost could learn a lot from Skelton (and also from Adam Beard, incidentally). Being massive is an advantage in Rugby (obvious understatement) - but you have to know how to use it. Skelton has really mastered the craft of using his weight in the...

I think there players just aren't as good as they make out in all honesty. I listen to Ben Youngs podcast (which incidentally isn't too bad apart from hilariously arrogant early crow - much better than Andy Goode/Jim Hamilton e.g., especially when Dan Coles who is sound is on) or English media...

Tough selection call next week between Williams (assuming he's fit), Frost, Skelton and Salakaia-Loto. I think Williams and Skelton are our two best locks (pretty clearly IMO) - but don't know if that would have the juice as a combo come lineout time? Others with more knowledge in that part of...

I will say with JAS the most positive aspect of the performance was that he showed skills I didn't necessarily expect him to have i based on his league performances. As an avid rooster fan who has watched just about every game he has played in the NRL, I thought he would be a very hard running...

Really found something with Len at 12. He is such a good player. What stands out to me watching this Wallabies team - they absolutely have the top-end talent to affect test matches at the highest level in guys like Bell, Valetini, Len, JAS and Tom Wright (who was freakish running from the...

Eat shit Ben Youngs you arrogant fuck

Get. The fuck in. One of the best Wallabies moments in a long, long time.

Fucking cmon. BOK been absolute wank all game but done us a favour standing in the defensive line there. Needed a break though. Tate looks real good.

Tupou been an absolute liability. Hook him at HT

Letsssgo Don't think JAS has been tackled yet...Paul Cully and David Campese in the mud.

Ben O fking blind... Look decent with ball in hand. But need to hold and recycle a bit quicker. Shite in defence tho, Smith is tearing us to shreds.

this defensive system...i really don't get it. all the narrowness of a heavy blitz, none of the intensity.

I mean it was a complete disaster in the second half...but did it necessarily tell us anything we didn't already know about the Wallabies? They lack the depth to compete for 80 minutes consistently, week in, week out. This has been true for many years. Even if Aus Rugby rights the ship, it will...

This is pretty good ! Sharp, quick, flat.

wales would give me an absolute head ache if i was a welshman

Not sure about ethics but I wouldn't be very impressed if I was Joe Schmidt and Peter Horne by a player willing to forego a year of their development and play against the lions to mooch about in clubland because they didn't want to live in Sydney. If that's the case, I suspect RA will be saying...

A win is a win and I was very happy to see it. You have to be a proper miserable bastard if you are complaining given how much of the last year has been complete gash. Most pleasing aspect for me was the physicality in contact, especially over the last 20 minutes. I'll maintain it was true for...
