I disagree that the problem is at no.12. That backline is one of the worlds best, potentially. We need a fly half with vision and skill to take advantage of it. For too long Foley has been going awol at vital times ( he gets sucked into rucks, etc), like when the opposition is in disarray. His...

Many keep waxing on about how we miss Beale. We miss a no.10 who can steer our ship, and Foley is not it, hasn't been for a long time. We have a backline with frightening potential, and 70% possession in the two games. Join the dots. And surely beating the soapdodgers at home was one of Cheika's...

I'm reading articles where Hanson states that Jaco Peyper has supposedly apologised for getting decisions wrong that went against NZ. Plenty of press about Hansen's statements, but none actually confirming those words came out of Peypers mouth. Can anyone confirm those words spoken, or been...

his departure is 3 years overdue, imo. Print up the t-shirts now and I'll put my hard earned down. Suggestions Dingo,....Ding-gooooone. or A Dingo stole my rugby.

Perhaps he can?!? (cue the sound of a villain sniggering)

Surely they are devaluing the award by putting an English back, a flyhalf no less, in the shortlist. The only English skill set for a fly half is that they must be able to kick goals and field goals. They really don't comprehend the flyhalf role. Top four players in the world? Laughable.

Did anyone else experience the English commentator for the WB v France game? I've come across his dreary ramblings before, and he's below compare. He could make women's mud wrestling sound dreary. Back to the soccer commentary booth with you, you wee man.

Maybe the ARU and Chanel ten, and Waterhouse have come to an agreement. For the enjoyment of the viewing WB supporters, they have decided not to show our piss poor restart receives. BTW Mr Waterhouse, what are the odds on a team kicking off to the WB's of getting the ball back immediately...

Because of his performance, niceties should be put aside. The interviews should begin immediately, and the final round should take place as soon as Dingo is back in the country. Deans should have to watch it via cctv, so as he has no input on the outcome, but still made aware of the decision...

The Question needs to be asked Why is a player of his size being used as a battering ram, and our primary go to option off set piece? Unless, of course, our coach is trying to injure our WB champions.

If any Aussie youngsters were watching that, why would they want to play union, let alone watch the WB's? ARU board, you have a lot to be responsible for in this farce. Do something instead of quaffing cappacinos.

I'm assuming you watched the game? Not the highlights on the news? 'unpolished'? For much of the match I was doubled over in fits of laughter at the poor standards from both sides. It was a race to see which side could be first to lose the match. If it was the first test of the year, you...

Except pushing Deans down the stairs won't remove him from his post.

Yes, I'm in a dark place. Out of self preservation, I won't be investing any financial or emotional support to our side until he's gone. My opinion is unchanged.

My 2 cents. I'd say most non-NZ supporters objected to the leniency afforded to him during the Paddy O'Brien era. That was painful to watch. And the NZ public has done him no favours by their churlish displays during the media led Cooper-McCaw handbags. They may think him unchallengeable, I...

As much as I'd like to see our boys beat NZ on any occasion, I can't bring myself to barrack for them this weekend. A win over the AB's this weekend is what Dean's supporters need to bleat about our supposed improving chances. We are so overdue on lancing this festered boil. Let's not put a...

Sign him up we need some mongrel in our pack.

Something to consider. With the result of the Wiggins v Cadel TDF, and in light of the Brits complaints in this Olympics, it reminded me of home much the road races are as much a team event, despite the medal given to only one person. So how much consequence is levied on Lance, when all of his...

And what's a fair game day ticket price for working class punters like me?

Bruce, One of the factors that killed the ARC was the expense of putting players up at (reasonable) accommodation after the game. Originally players were expected to fly home after the game, but could you imagine that? Play a game of rugby and then get back on a flight for a long haul? How...
