CUT OUT THE NEGATIVITY! :mad:

They're wearing gold and representing us in the finals, let's get behind them unconditionally.

So, stop being negative Lindy;)

I'll just put this here.

Assuming they both get selected this weekend and then the next (which is to be expected), the Wallabies Quarter Final against whomever will be both Steven Moore's and Matt Giteau's 100th test.

Significant.

I'm guessing that we won't see them in cricket gear raising their bat like we saw with AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) in the team photo.

I suspect Gregan will be involved. Good old Canberra boy and our most capped Wallaby etc. But let's not get ahead of ourselves just yet.

Holy shit, people can no longer whinge about Foley, so have moved to Phipps. Yes he threw one poor pass and one that Fardy ducked and three others basically said "yours". Lets dump Genia because his box kicking is as crap as it has been for a long time. Two (or was it three) charged down, surely that equals Phipps one and a half bad passes.

People will argue that Phipps has these passes every game, and yes that is true, but on the same token I cringe when I see a ruck being set up for Genia's box kick because you know it is coming and you know it is going to suck.

But yes lets bring in White, who hasn't been able to keep the pace requirements of the Chieka plan, whose mouth gets him offside with the Refs regularly...

I think the boys telegraphed at least one of the box kick charge-downs. I heard someone yelling 'open side chaser!!!' about 4 times during a post lineout setup of the ball. Pretty much invited the attempt to charge it.

Quade could very well miss out on 60. He's on 58 currently and looks like he won't make another 23 unless someone get injured. He's confirmed to Toulon too.

yep, shame.

Will play some 7s though. Not convinced that will all end well though given he will be out of sight of the Oz program

It's only select series too, not all of them. Not sure the coach (whoever it will be) will be into that.

The cap limit is stupid. It should only be time served as coaches and politics can greatly influence the number of caps a player can get. 5 years from Wallaby debut spent in Australian Rugby is a good number I think.
