We are just not physical enough and that is a waste of the talent outwide

[Part of the union]

An Australian team does not score a try. Why is that? Did anyone see one decent scrum where we gave our backs a stable platform from which to attack? Our counter rucking was good but we still lack the physical presence to put teams away. The effort is there but we just come up short because we get the stuffing knocked out of us at the contact area.

Until that changes then that wonderful attacking backline we have is going to be operating off the backfoot more often then not.

True - but a bit confused as to "that wonderful attacking backline we have". Where is this thing of which you speak?

 

[Part of the union]

Is that praying for a steady setpice and good clean ball at the lineout?

 

[Scotty]

We do not have a wonderful attacking backline.

Tell us - which of our backs would make a combined 3N team?

I'm not saying that there are any forwards that would, but at least guys like Elsom, Robinson and Moore would be considered.

Actually, G. Smith would probably start ahead of Brousseau.

Gits, Barnes and AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) would all be closely considered.

Our biggest problem is that the locks would go:
4. Botha
5. Matfield
18. Thorn

I can't believe it - I agree with Scotty and rugbywhisperahrah

RW, I'm not sure they've been tested on humans, and I think naza needs them all.

Did Luke Burgess get them to you yet ?

You need to pull that Scarf down from over your eyes when you are watching the games.

wow. He must be in the top three reasons we have been losing these games.

i'd think morne and an underdone carter would make it ahead of gits at this point. maybe even donald?? nah, that's crazy talk...

AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) belongs there though. barnes if he could stay on the field. sook.

Christ - with his pass they could end up in Bokke's hands - but then again, he could use em too

Well, before tonight I'd say that he plays only as good as his forwards.

Now ... well, I guess I was wrong. You can print that.

 

[Scotty]

The backs have been losing these games for us as much as the forwards have.
