Also just to throw my 2c in....I believe Robbie Deans did a great job to build depth in aust rugby, due to poor succession planning by coaches before him who had the likes of gregan, larkham, Latham, mortlock in their sides....they are the ones who let aust rugby down...They failed to blood new...
Not sure why everyone talks about To'omua as next wallabies 10....he's a great defender, excellent general play kicker however very tunnel vision in attack. Jake White obviously loves him because he is closest thing to a boring South African fly half, he basically fits the berrick Barnes mould...
Brumbies forwards were disappointing last night. Ran too high, didn't know who was jumping in the lineout, got owned at the ruck/maul/everywhere, no one running any half decent lines(all running sideways half arsed). Backs couldn't get into game as every forward sent up to get some go forward...
I hope Colby Fainga'a gets a start soon, he was ahead of hooper in 2011 and is now not even mentioned in the same category. Very physical player with good skills too...Liam messam type flanker.
I've got to agree with that, To'omua-Lealiifano combo is not working in attack, defensively they're great but I don't believe the outside backs are being set free as they were last year with Lealiifano-McCabe combo. I feel To'omua kicking too much and running the ball more than he needs to...
I enjoyed that game even though we lost. Really missed nick whites clearing kicks and his penalty kicks that put us on attack closer to the try line. Disappointed with matt To'omua kicking ball away too much but other than that he played well. I think jake brought on the bench too late. S.Siliva...
See link below why those boys will party hard tonight and why they won........proud of their culture and proud of the jersey.

Brums by 12+
I said the same(Brums v Reds), I didnt get the margin bet right but had Chapman dived properly I would've been laughing all the way to the bank as it was paying $26. Still got the head to head bet though.
Brums will have extra motivation.........win and tahs miss finals.....no...
