RWC: AUS v URU (Villa Park, Birmingham): POOL A; 9pm (AEST) Sunday 27 September

[Ash]

McMahon with his double, good maul formation although nearly stopped by the Uruguayan 9.

 

[ACR]

Samoa?

This one (Samoa). Scotland?

 

[Slim 293]

Samoa?

That one would top the list, followed by Scotland x2..............

I'm not sure how flogging a minnow with our second team could even be considered.

 

[Ash]

Cooper fades that kick to miss, had been off his better side too.

 

[ACR]

Cooper fades that kick to miss, had been off his better side too.

When Dan Biggar kicks 8 from 8 to win a match, this sort of kicking is not good enough.

(4 from 10), all conversions too.

 

[Ash]

That one would top the list, followed by Scotland x2......

Vs England in the RWC is right up there too.

Cooper creates another beauty. Pfitzy creaming himself, no doubt!

 

[Scooter]

Get Sean McMahon to kick goals he is doing everything else and can't be worse than Cooper.

 

[Slim 293]

Now that was a good try...........

 

[Ash]

Nice finish from Beale to To'omua as well, Cheika liked that one.

 

[No4918]

Cheika finally looks happy.

 

[maxdacat]

Unselfish from QC (Quade Cooper)....lovely distribution too.

 

[Slim 293]

Vs England in the RWC is right up there too.

And let's not forget Ireland in 2007 2011..............

 

[ChargerWA]

This one (Samoa). Scotland?

Scotland was atrocious conditions and a really short turn around due to money grubbing by the ARU.

Samoa was pure arrogance. Beautiful afternoon and we spurned a penalty goal first up. Mo Schwalger's eyes turned red and they rightly taught us a lesson. I consider Samoa our worst by far.

 

[Pfitzy]

Cooper fades that kick to miss, had been off his better side too.

The graphic shows he's about even both sides? Anyway he's had a lot from out wide.

Nice hands from Cooper - if he'd been doing simple things like that, this could have been the whole game.

 

[Pfitzy]

OK lads, that one was unforgiveable.

 

[Ash]

Cooper with another shocker, no confidence in his kicking right now.

I'd say that England and Wales would not be fearing Foley steering the Wallabies around like they would with Cooper on the park, but his kicking for goal wouldn't be worrying them right now.

 

[Slim 293]

Cooper has had some nice touches, but the negative aspects of his game would be costly against a better opposition...........

3 YC's in 3 games is not good either..........

 

[Marcelo]

Poor effectiveness by Cooper but at least he can play 80 minutes not like others who are in holiday

 

[Pfitzy]

Not much fade on that kick - looked pretty straight, he just didn't get into his groove.
