He wouldn't be the first hooker to cause a whole lot of regret.Or get red carded and suspended. It's an even chance.
Take Dylan Hartley for example.

Jeezus check out some of these idiots backing Cheika up:

Has the world gone mad??
Not sure anyone is going to be released by their club for that, though it would be handy.
I think any rugby fan is aware of it. It has been mentioned a lot. I agree the concept of the "Home Unions" and a grand slam is anachronistic but it is still a thing.
I'd almost guarantee that if you're an Aussie rugby fan and you're not aware of the grand slam tour you're even less aware that there is a test on Sunday morning against France.

As a result of the Arbib report into ARU Governance the veto powers of the NSW Bloc, and to a degree the QLD bloc, no longer shape ARU decision making.
While the ARU were quick to adopt the "new" model, many on here struggle to move with the times and any Wallaby/ARU anything is simply an opportunity to get the Tin Foil Hat and Pitchfork out, no matter what the issue is: Coach, assistant coach, game plan, selections, training polivy, S&C, Lineouts calling, boot sponsor, ability under the high ball, approval of business partner, membership package options, whatever.. . .
Haters gotta hate. It is somewhere in the Constitution, and if not, it's the vibe. That's it.
I say get over it.
Get behind the Men in Gold. It is the only National Rugby Team that we have. Shit happens. "You Can't Always Get What You Want" - Jagger, M, Richards, K. (1969) Let It Bleed, Decca Records.
Go you Good Things.
MC is not the Messiah. He might be a Naughty Boy, but he is our Naughty Boy, and we need to get behind him. When the next bloke gets the Wobs gig, we should get behind them regardless of the state they were born in, what school they went to, the club they played for, or Super Rugby club that may have been associated with.
The biggest anchor that Australian Rugby has when it comes to the Wallabies is the fan and their parochialism.
Pretty sure Leroy finished up with Bath at the end of October so no Wallabies squad involvement now was Cheika's call.I thought there might have been a chance to have Houston released for the French and Irish tests (to be considered for the bench) so that he would be available for the Baa Baas side in between. Nothing happening on that front though, apparently.
I have a sneaky suspicion that if the back row are absolutely fucking unbelievable,and QC (Quade Cooper) sets up 5 tries, Hooper will still be 7,and QC (Quade Cooper) still be 23 next week.
Win.I think Nick got it right before - it's less about the 'Grand Slam' and more about England. The Grand Slam is a bit artificial and certainly doesn't carry a huge amount of weight anymore.
But beating the Poms always does, no matter the time, place or sport.

True, but in fairness that was in response to Reg having a rant about us losing to the French and then to the Irish, so similarly we should wait for that to happen before blowing a gasket over it.I think we should wait for hypotheticals like those to play out before we comment.
Someone did a few pages back, they were 530ish to our 480ish IIRC, so not much difference.Has anyone added up the French team caps? Seems like they are fielding a lot of inexperienced players and could easily have less overall caps in their team than we do.
I also don't think it is the biggest issue for either team. Some of the players with less than 10 caps will be more up to it than those with 50+.

The big question is: Who's the fullback back-up if Morahan suffers an injury? Foley??? When it was the last time he played in that position at test level? Mmmmm. Naivalu, Speight and Taqele can't play at 15, they don't have the skills for the position.

Win.
Every.
Test.
That simply has to be the mindset.
Also Timani is off the bench so Skelton remains in the 23. I disagree with it pretty strongly. I kind of feel for the bloke because he is running on fumes as far as goodwill with Aussie rugby fans is concerned and needs to improve dramatically otherwise that may never recover.
