Random insults to other teams players is what I do. Beau Robinson is my favourite, but I'll do it for just about anyone.

If by "saint" you mean literally the worst Wallaby in the professional era, then yes, he is a saint...

Beau came off the bench in that test and actually was one of the few wallabies that day to show some heart.

He's just geeing us Reg. Highlander actually reckons Beau is better than Fugistaller, Fainga'a, Reid and McMahon.

I'm constantly surprised at how many people believe the stuff I type. The Beau comments were 99.9% in jest. Carraro are a little more serious, but more along the lines of being a significant downgrade on AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper).

Isn't it amazing that the written word doesn't easily convey jest...

Jaysus that try we gave away in the 41st minute was a shocker. And not to mention Pat's attempted quick throw straight to Schalk on the 5m line.
Too loose and zany last night. We broke/bent their line at will when we built phases but seemed intent on trying for the hail mary plays too often. Ball security was also rubbish, particularly on attack.

Didn't think any individual could be singled out for a poor performance overnight. There were just a few things team wise that were an issue.
1. Defensively we miss Ellison, I know I say it a lot, but there's so much in positioning and alignment he brings.
2. We were beaten by a better scrum, although we weren't demolished, they were very much on top through most of the match, gave them a good platform and us a poor one.
3. The 8 points conceded either side of half time turned a one score deficit into a 3 scrore deficit in about a 5 minute period.
4. Tried to throw the ball around a little too much, when straightforward running and passing was working well enough to get us over the advantage line.
All in all, the game was a good one. Most players performed well enough individually, the ref was excellent, other than perhaps letting Burger get away with too much, and we physically exhausted a very good side coming off a bye. We were just the 2nd best team on the day, and there isn't any shame in thay.

Yep I'd agree with that. It was entertaining to watch, despite the hellish kick-off time.
And for what it's worth, while Little Ranga probably deserved a penalty for his boot work on Burger, the prick was blatantly flopping about offside and in years past would have been scarred for life by a troop of size 15 boots.

i still think astute leadership is lacking at times. at the end the helter-skelter tap and goes got us nowhere, its been the same a few times now, no cool head. who was Captain at that stage, all the leadership group were off the field.
the less said about the half time debacle the better, arguably the worst piece of football i have seen from a professional, semi professional or amateur team. they should sit the leadership group and jackD and leafa infant of the video screen with that on continuous loop for about and hour.

I think the forwards need to sit in a room with Zane Hilton and the replay of THAT scrum on repeat for an entire day. They would feel gutted after that and they never wan a repeat of that.
Those two indiscretions aside there was some brainfart moments in the backs too, especially a number of passes that were never on. Tom's pass directly the opposition set up the first try.
Like I said in the review, the turned up for a physical one and they did give it a go. But, they really missed Tamati in setting the backline D and they jsut needed to ahve cooler heads out there. The Shorks are our best chance of a win over there and I think they can step up for next week.
