RWC Wallabies v USA - 23 September

[Swarley]

Good to see Sharpe having a real crack, he's been really enthusiastic in hitting breakdowns and making tackles. Hopefully Robbie brings him into our 1st-choice match day 22 from here on in. McCalman, however, is showing how out of depth he really is. Whilst I know he isn't a #7, he's started missing tackles and getting lazy, which is a decline from last week.
Rocky's showing why Brian O'Driscoll called him the best player he's played with, some brilliant stuff from the big man. Maybe this will be the confidence boost he needs to get back to his top form.

Can't wait to see how Quade goes at #15, and of course how Barnes is going since his long lay-off.

Horne has more linebreaks and tackle busts in one game than McCabe has made in 6 games.

Yep, cos those Merkins are reknowned for their defence like the All Blacks and the Springboks. :

I haven't seen the go-go dancers yet.

Horne got absolutely smashed the first run he made and lost the ball.

Edit: in response to remark about McCabe

And didn't get injured! I had bad thoughts immediately after seeing that..

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Berrick did well in that run he made.

EDIT: Yay Drew!

Hard to find out much regarding Horne. Sadly his injury came at the wrong time as if we play him he will go into the Quarter finals of the WC with no match time against a decent opposition.

Matador defence from USA B

Samo on for Rocky.

 

[Happy]

Radike on. Feel sorry for the yanks a bit.

 

[aussie1st]

Very nice by Mitchell, still had a bit of work to do and his leg drive carried him over.

 

[minorbird]

Horne off? What? Maybe Robby has seen enough to make a decision on where he sees him in the pecking order?

 

[Happy]

McCabe on for Horne

 

[Happy]

You have the BB and AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) back line you wanted.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Nice to see the bench getting used even if it is USA B!

EDIT: Only saved then by the USA knocking on, what was the odds for USA getting x2 tries anyhow?

EDIT: Need a bit of high ball take practice. Cliffy Palu hurt, f##k.

 

[Happy]

Palu injured

 

[Stands]

Why doesn't Quade sing the Naional anthem?

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Is that Vickerman, Sharpe, & Simmons all on? Its a lock-a-thon!

We have quite a strong line out now.
