True. Meant to say drop him from the no 15 position at least
Anyways good match. Was super proud of our boys for that fight back. Thought we played alright except for some brain snaps by a few players

Our defensive system is really giving me the shits. We routinely give away 20m out wide for free and seem to be constantly scrambling

No I think he's pretty close to the mark. Would think Moore, Hooper, Pocock & Genia are world class. The rest would be lucky to make top 7 National teams. That said plenty of younger talent, however nothing that says "yes we have the cattle to win games hard games".

Have only seen the highlights.
Really, the only thing to say there is Garces has no fucking idea at scrum time - classic whip-wheel by Ireland is somehow a penalty against us.
He and Poite are fucking hopeless, and yet they're apparently the best France have.
I'd back AFG against either of them.

Mumm is a joke, he is horrorid And lazy forward.
Hooper, man he has ticker and heart. He was every where again, absolutely on everything and more than 4 times when Ireland were building up phases. Hopper is so fit
Wallabies best player again.
Pocock, wallabeis would loss with out him as well. Works so hard in defence,
Hooper and Pocock work way to hard and deserve a pay rise.
Pocock will be missed.
Back like........meh

The other thing from those highlights: Folau can't pass to his right. Wasn't very sympathetic depth or angle from Kuridrani, either.

Well... We fucked that up, didn't we! 
Still, showed some really good fight in that and with a different bounce of the ball, a few passed or held balls and interpretations from the ref, we would and should have had it in a canter. Our decision making in the back line continues to evolve, I just wish it would evolve faster... Hodge and Folau butchered a few. Genia kicking it away with 3 left on the clock. Speight doing his inside-out chicken dance in defense...
I thought our forwards performed well in the face of a stern test during the opening 30 mins. So many times in the past we would have folded, but to their credit, there was an awful lot of hard physical work being done in tight. I thought both Simmons and Mumm were particularly effective in this period and were key along with Arnold to limiting the damage - especially while our breakdown efforts were getting whistled off the park. The yellow obviously takes points off Mumm, but I think any honest and objective viewing of his performance has to give him some credit. Will be interesting to see the stats when they're released. Would Fardy have gone better? Maybe, but fucking Garces sure didn't need another penalty target in the breakdown area...
Totally agree with this. Still not sure though what's causing it though. Is it by design? Are we prepared to be short of numbers on the edges in return for being so hard on the ball in the middle? Or is Speight not reading the pattern properly and forever spending his life turning to chase back to the corner?
While the grand slam may be lost, even though it should still be well alive, I'm still quite up beat for where we're at. The fact that we could give away that much possession and come back to lead after being so far down, I think, is testament to the belief and improving skill set being brought into the wider squad.
Lot's left to fix, but still lots to like and for mine, a clear and pleasing upwards trajectory.
Can't wait for next week! Go the Wallabies!

Mumm is not going after that performance. They won't even need to wash his jersey for England game.

Swearing is one of the main joys of life. I love a bit of carry on. Didn't know it was a problem though - it's a mature discussion forum and it's pretty rife around these parts. Every time someone says fluffybunny that's not actually what they've typed believe it or not.
Regardless I'll tone it down if the mods so desire.
If swearings outlawed we'll certainly have to get more creative with the way in which we discuss Dean Mumm.
Edit: I simply cannot type coherently on a phone.
