I think everyone agrees that Tapuai is a great prospect however he showed nothing on his return from the broken collarbone.
There is absolutely no way he was going to either dislodge Horne or be ahead of Fainga'a for this series.
How does it feel being constantly being beaten by a guy who wears a dress and another dude who wears eye liner?![]()
Why on earth did they pick Romano? Apart from that, the Kiwi side looks pretty dam scary. They made the right call in regards to Messam>Vito>Thompson.
The only other question is Mealamu over Hore, who I think has been in much better form.
Theres been a lot of unfair criticism of TPN. He is an impact player, excuse the pun, capable of timely offloads. Kepu continues to get stronger. Robinson
And no Jiggles what gets me to bed at night is up until now ,I have never seen Pocock outplay Sir Richie head to head!!I love the obscure justification like "linking" that Kiwi's use to continue the party line of McCaw over Pocock. It must help them get to bed at night.![]()
I think fatprop hit it on the head, Wallabies will need to stop Smith. If I am honest my biggest concern for the ABs is in their heads. I in no way think they are writing Wallabies off, but unless you actually feel it deep down in your bones,so to speak, you can find that in first 20 minutes of game you are behind and then they may struggle a little. I still believe that hwat happened 2nd test against Irish, they tried not to be over confident but deep down they knew they were a better team, and may have relaxed a fraction, which wallabies will hurt them for.
Anyway boys, just sitting here making last post and thoughts as I wait for ride to airport to head down to Sydney for test, so talk to you after weekend.Lets hope for a great test, with the ABs winning of course![]()

Enjoyed the post although I disagree strongly with TPN. His impact invariably is negative. He misses his jumper too frequently for Test level 2, too frequently gives away penalties in the attacking zone, or tries the miracle offload pass and he invariably has poor technique in the tackle which results in a blow to the head after which he fails to compete effectively for 10-15 minutes until he is eventually hauled off.
I recognize his abilities as an explosive ball carrier but they in no way offset the negative aspects of his game that are even more evident at Test level and detrimental to the Wallabies. I would have had Nandos in a flash. Frankly, I no longer believe he merits inclusion in a Wallaby 22.
Between TPN and Timani, we really could be onto a hiding on the penalty count if we do not sharpen up.
