it wasn't sarcasm, just ambiguous.

Ahhh, now I see. Couldn't believe that you would have said that about any Brumby. Will look out for the sarcasm in the future.

Good point about the Tahu/Deans thing. Mooney must be thinking "thanks a f*cking bunch". Those two stories mixing together are just too much temptation for the hacks at the moment though - a perfect storm for rugby journos.

Will be interesting to see how and when the honeymoon period ends....

I didn't mean it that way, I meant if he was left out we must have the worlds best players in the team (and they definitely would be the worlds best players if they're better than morti). Cos morti is perfect except for his kicking, he must be a gun kicker at training to always get the nod or something.

I was trying to be ironic saying what pretty much what Dwyer said about Tahu,

Tahu for some reason is blossoming under deans (I dunno how the media came to that conclusion after a few training runs and no tests.)

Its weird New Zealand cant tackle him, must be cos they're afraid of him losing his skin like in that powerade commercial.

Bobas – that’s a bit harsh on Morti! [also he's a Brumby - aren't they all perfect ]

Plus I thought he’d played fairly well the last couple of tests. Thank f*ck he’s not place kicking any more though. And as we all know, no-one in New Zealand seem to know how to tackle him.

Bob Dwyer said if Tahu didn't play for the wallabies we must have a world XV backline.

He also said that Tahu should come into the team for Morti.

Although I would have thought if Morti wasn't in the team we'd have a world XV.

The answer seems to be anyone but Gerrard. Must be the lack of pace

the best coaches in the world arn't the best selectors, Brian Gorgian just sent the Boomers to a loss to Greece with the wrong team (no great bench players)... he's an awesome coach, just needs to select the best team players and their not necessarily the most coach-able but in rugby the most game braking (as a-j-norman has said.

Hoiles and Gerrard and Ioanne aren't at the moment world class, but give them a couple of games and roles and i assure you they will be the future of Australian rugby (hoiles especially now the ELVS come into play).

Cant believe he and Ioanne were axed and Gerrard wasn't put in despite sheperds injury...

Hoiles must be pretty bewildered to get a leg up one week and cut out the next.

terrible reasoning for Hoiles by Deans. We are going to need game breakers as well as braun to win the Tri-Nations

I am happy to see Tahu (game breaker) picked.
