codex, mate, i like your style. this is my first post too. i'm a diehard wallabies/tahs fan and i've always been optimistic about my teams - always respected the decisions of coaches cos i figure hey, that's their job, they know more about this than me. but i draw a line at tonight. i have never been so disappointed after a game. i don't care about the conditions, about the unblooded players, about the scheduling issues - the all blacks, the south africans, the french; all those teams would have found a way to win the game.
the wallabies don't believe they can win games anymore. it's something you can see every time the bledisloe rolls around. more often than not we score early, go into the sheds at half time in the lead and the kiwis aren't the slightest bit worried because they know they can bring it back.
it wasn't any one player's fault tonight, although genia was too slow and barnes' confidence is rattled after having endured the wrath of nsw fans all season. i agree with o'connor being our best bet for long term no. 10. he looked every bit the goods in the world cup. he's a calm, skilled player that works off the team rather than relying on individual brilliance (QC (Quade Cooper)).
i know we'll get back there one day. in the meantime, i don't think it's unjust to expect to beat scotland any day of the week, in any conditions, with whoever has the honour of playing in a gold jersey.
