Wallabies v All Blacks @ Suncorp - 18/10/14

[hammertimethere]

That journalist is a fucking parasite. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) will get the recognition from the fans and his teammates he deserves for a titanic achievement. Same as every other centurion.

I hope if Quade gets onto he bench, Genia gets on there too. They will be good for each other, and bringing Quade in mitigates the need to have Nic White in the 23 for kicking and game management reasons late in the match.

Up the wallabies

I wouldn't mind betting the AB's do something small to recognise AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)'s feat. They are pretty good with stuff like that.

Sir Ritchie GOAT gave the last couple a bottle of plonk (Habana game 101, and JdV game 100) after the match in Wellington.

Dollars to a knob of goatsh!t that they will do this again.

The big question is do the AIG's have to also donate a crate of champers to the extended AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) family to show proper respect?

I think I remember when Mealamu played his 100th our boys gave him something too. A large box. Possibly donuts. Probably the la di da ones.

It contained a couple of bottles of wine.

Most front rowers I know would've preferred donuts.

I'm just looking forward to the game because I am sick to death of the white noise surrounding this off field nonsense and just get back to the rugby.

Yeah I think the traditional ethos of rugby outlives all the hyperbole that gets thrown around the media and other social mediums.

So here's a conundrum: How do you get the family of players to just keep their gobs shut?
----
You'd think simply for the sake of the public image of their own kid they'd be a lot more self-conscious of the light they've put themselves in. Most of the posters here are level-headed enough to separate comments by AACs family from how AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) thinks or feels - but I think we can also degree that large groups of the general public do not.

After the Dublin 6 interjection by his family, this is not a good look at all.

It makes me think of the helicopter mother's who would attend meetings between their 20-something child and the kids college professor.

the Ashley-Cooper/Bond family story is quite fascinating. there are some interesting characters including two Wallabies and some very successful businesspeople. there's also more than a hint of intrigue here and there.

that gave me a great laugh, especially after reading this morning of the latest category of mothers - the lawnmower variety.

the Wallabies seem, so me, to want one of each for all members of the "playing group".

Wrong fred. It's late.

Good luck Saturday.

May the best team lose.

I have an empty feeling in the gut that there will only be one-sided rugby on display this coming weekend.

 

[Scoey]

I'm pumped for Saturday! Looking forward to Bled 3!!!

I generally don't read much news and I haven't spent more than a couple of minutes in the KB (Kurtley Beale) thread. So all that's on my mind is a Bledisloe Cup match! YEW!!!

By all means guys keep reading the crap but you're just stoking the fire. They will print what the majority evidently can't help but be drawn to.

I'm in the 'ignorance is bliss' pool. Come on in, the water's freakin lovely!

I hope that AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) gets his due recognition for what has been a largely outstanding career in gold. I'd be very surprised if the AB's didn't recognise it in some way, given the class with which they've given and received on such occasions.

Carn wallabies whens team announcement?

Carn wallabies whens team announcement?

Probably after they work out who is still standing following the independent tribunal. Beale will be gone, Ewen seems punch drunk with terrible selections and farcical half time concepts, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)'s family are busy picking stinks about poor 100 test celebrations & Hooper is out of his depth as Wallaby captain with dumb $hit comments.

Otherwise the test preparation is coming along swimmingly

I just hope the recognition he receives from the ABs does not outclass what the ARU does for him.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

I just hope AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) gets selected. It's not unheard of for the Wobs selectors to deny a bloke this significant milestone (or delay it).

 

[KOB1987]

barring a significant unforeseen incident he'll be picked
