All Dan Carter did was shovel it on. Most of the tries he had significant help from the other backs.
Hell if Carter just shovelled it on , man I will be happy with calling him digger, thought he showed how a good 10 varies play, or perhaps you didn't notice his clearing kicks, or try he scored, or players he put in space.

Hope link can look past any Reds allegiance in picking the Wallabies team cause they were shit tonight. Holmes was ok. Horwill and Simmons ineffective. Lucas, lance, Shipperley next to useless.

What about when Shipperly dropped it cold in the 2nd half? Nothing the match officials did comes even close to that error.

The fact is, such a high standard is demanded of the match officials that when they do make a small error, it gets blown out of proportion because it falls outside the small margin of error we expect from them. People will call for their careers to end over smaller errors than those committed by players every single game.


Standards need to lift IMO

He actually does just dish it along a lot. Often, that's all that is needed. When he does something else, it is usually the right time, and done well. That's why he's so good. Very understated player.

How many shots do quade have? I remember his first shot. The one that went over. The booing was very loud. Even cano on the sideline said he couldn't here when he was taking the kick. Quade wasn't bad that's for sure. U r right about the forwards.


Yeah, not as bad as when they had that bloody band on the sidelines and the trombone dude threw out some douchey tones while a player lined up. Bloody hooligans up there in Christchurch. :)

That game summed up the reds seasons. Didn't click all season and just did enough to get into the finals. And got touched up tonight by a far better and inform team.

And now my night gets worse as the fucken soccer in on the box where I am. Going to hide and lose myself in a bottle rum.

I actually think Horwill's spirit was somewhat crushed via the awful Wallabies performance v BIL Test 3. I'm sure it's taken something from him, hopefully temporarily. Very few Wallabies have played well since that fateful night in Sydney; it's not hard to understand why.

I am confident he will. He has done well with a squad that is far from 'star studded' and got them to play well together. He will be chomping at the bit to be able to select from the whole AUS talent pool! :)

Horwills substitution was a huge call. I believe he erred in the first half by going for 48m penalty kicks instead a piling the pressure on. I cant believe all year (except for the brums game) we went for pressure from penalties with the kick to touch, and tonight we go for 48m penalties. This could have only given the Saders confidence. Bad tactics for mine, and really bad call for however was responsible.
