I think you need to watch him play. When the press are saying he is the stand out in form player in the Northern Hemisphere and can comfortably cover for J Wilkinson I wouldn't be trading him off so quick!
Gits has always been a World Class 12..If he came home he would be a fantastic addition to the Brumbies ;)and probably the Wallabies

Trolling much?

Trolling? Um, how and about what? I've obvious have either missed the intended sarcasm or are negative dispersions about players alleged characters are only permitted on your watch?

TROLLING:
Being a prick on the internet because you can. Typically unleashing one or more cynical or sarcastic remarks (Eg: Yet he plays for Northampton, which is home for such pillars of the community as Dylan Hartley, Courtney Lawes, and Calum Clark, former home of Chris Ashton. Ugh.) on an innocent by-stander (that's the people in this thread who are commenting on how good Giteau and other ex-Aussie players O/S are playing), because it's the internet and, hey, you can.

I have generally found that people who rubbish the NH comps don't watch it much. There are a lot of misinformed people in the SH when it comes to NH rugby.

Are you saying that those mentioned are pillars of the community?

No. I think is pointing out Australia's pillars of the rugby community.

The other three are total tools but what did Lawes do?

And vice versa. There is a perception in the NH, I have encountered, that suggests that forward play doesn't exist in the SH. It's rubbish, of course, but we've been accused more than once of playing basketball rugby.

Lawes - found guilty of kneeing RWC 2011
- his playing-style for Northampton and for England
- his general ill-disciplline

I watch a lot of NH rugby.

Boyo - the picture of Maafu telling Young's it's his shout was funny. Your next move about the pillars of the community was called back by the TMO late as playing the man - GAGR rule 6. It may have been unintentional and just mis-timed but it looked bad and judged as a rule 6 penalty. No card as its minor so its a kick to the sideline and play on. No more off the ball stuff. Do you need time to go and pull yourself to onside and have a chat to yourself so you know next ones a card? ;)

Yep TBH and when the 2 play each other the SH usually run them off their legs with athleticism and ball movement.

Oh agreed, but let's not also forget that the AB's, Boks and even us sometimes often beat them in the tough stuff too. A couple of our best victories in the Deans reign were at Twickenham where we first beat the Poms in the pigs and then ran away at the end by running them off their feet.

It seems that whatever anyone says, you'll consider that your story is correct.

I remain unapologetic that I do listen to other people like yourself, dismiss your comments and not dismiss the other comments suggesting I am right; and that offends you so.

Ok, again rule 6! Ball not man.

After you have a cheap shot? You sound like a real grub.

Unlike the good upstanding law abiding pillars of the community like .*Cough - Quade.cough..Kurtly...or role models like JOC (James O'Connor) and AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) for sportsmanship. Glass houses etc.


I think that's a bit harsh on AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper). He is a great player, and pretty much always toes the line. In fact I think that the Dublin incident is his only misdemeanor.

In fact I think AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) would be a decent role model...

Yeah - bring back Gits. I have fond memories of 2011 at both the Brumbies and the Wallabies.o_O
