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

[Slim 293]

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

I have no idea what this means..........?

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

Ireland 2011 in the pool, England 2007 in the quarters, right??

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.

The one in Scotland maybe? I could talk about this topic forever btw

Some would argue he didn't "play" until about 10 minutes ago.

Besides his nice pass before that, of course.

Penalty try coming up.

 

[maxdacat]

How does that work? Uruguay knock on then turn it over?

Sorry, 2011.............. both horrible memories.

We're getting a good look at why Smith didn't start at loose head here...

Talking about Palu.

I reckon the only selection decision that will be up in the air for next weekend is McCalman or McMahon for Skelton on the bench.

Ireland played well in that game though.

I would go for McCalman, which is harsh on McMahon but with the Pooper we need another player with height.

The second row just isn't going hard enough here as well.

The Uru THP was told he could be a pro except for his weight - said "well I don't want to lose weight" and stayed in his day job.

I agree. I'd go with McCalman too.

But didn't we have several dominant scrums after he switched sides?

What's happened more recently?

 

[TOCC]

Quade Cooper

3 try assists
1 line break
2 line break assist
5 tackle busts
7 runs for 70m

Shit kicking performance though..

I want to say McMahon but don't think we can go down a serious lineout option.

Interesting the Kepu went on the field ahead of Holmes? Holmes has a knock maybe?

Mitchell with a great break, but Cooper can't handle the ball from Kuridrani under pressure from the defence.

 

[Pfitzy]

Yeah Holmes needs minutes.
TK looks lazy there.

 

[swingpass]

smith has played pretty well and scrummed well on both sides
