ONE TEAM - positivity thread

[waratahjesus]

Bumped.

Where the best team in the southern hemisphere.

Rocky is back.

 

[drewprint]

Samo has emerged as a genuine WC force, and Vickerman is really starting to wind up too. We have a forward pack!

 

[waratahjesus]

The wallabies could legitimately grind out a forward orientated win in the rain against England if this improvement curve continues.

 

[vidiot]

Broken wallabies appear to have mended against Canada.

Drew Mitchell looked 90% + which is very good
Berrick Barnes didn't go off
James Slipper if anything looks more like a front rower - bigger and wheezier! Proper NH fattie!

We've won the Tri-Nations, the Mandela Plate and we've won 2 of the last 3 matches against NZ.
Surely that's something to be smiling about?

And if only we'd closed out a few last year, we'd have retained the Bled this year as well.

It looks like we will now be playing South Africa in the quarters. Not a problem. We've beaten them in the quarters before.
It looks like we will now be playing New Zealand in the Semis. Not a problem. We've beaten them twice in semi finals before.

 

[Victorian Reds Fan]

We have yet to let in a try. Thanks JOC (James O'Connor) for that chase down.

 

[Bowside]

At least it wasn't england...

 

[pete88]

BTW we haven't beaten RSA in the quarters before. Not that it matters, we will this time.

We've won our last three starts against South Africa (including 2 away wins), and two of our last three against the ABs. We've never been eliminated in a RWC by Southern Hemisphere opposition. We are CERTAIN to make the final it seems to me.

At least we're not England...

The Waratahs Rugby and ARU media departments have become very good at inspiring optimism in fans, even when it is completely undeserved.

Its always darkest before dawn.

 

[Shiggins]

The scrum has improved so fucking much!! If our scrum was like it was 2 years ago Ireland would have won by 15 with a


Go the force!!!!

 

[Bowside]

We're only 1 loss away from a clean out of the coaching team. Surely.

Same confidence as pre-Ireland. I like it.

 

[BPC]

At least Daz has his health.

you're right. I'm confusing 1999 semis with 2003 quarters.
So I'm amending my post to say

We have beaten South Africa in the knock-out stages before.

 

[Ruggo]

We are still in it.

 

[tigerland12]

Hahahaha some of these have definatly lightened my mood.

 

[Nusadan]

We can still get two bonus points from next two matches, Ireland might get beaten by Italy and score only two or three tries against the Russians playing out of their skin, and then bob's yer uncle!
