JB O'Reilly's is where I'll be pre-game. Looking forward to it. Beautiful day outside.

Mmmmm pre-game drinks at JBs. Very envious. I miss Perth.

I think JBs sells more Guinness than anywhere else in Australia. Don't quote me on that. It wouldn't surprise me though.

WBs by 5.
Come on the Wallabies!!

Normally head to the Subi Hotel Beer Tent. Love the overpriced beers and promo girls flogging merchandise. Everyone needs a Wallabies cape to wear to the game!

 

[Moono75]

Wallabies too much to play for. Positions in the team and reputations on the line.

Cooper and Beale to emerge with big games. Wallabies by 12. No I haven't started on the beers yet....

Moore is one of the reasons the wallaby pack gets raped when he plays. His defence wouldn't scare my old mum. His ball carries turn into flops on the ad line. His scrummaging is over rated....see Auckland and any test he has played V England

TPN is a demon. He genuinely hurts people and has the opposition ball carriers looking for him. He creates fear and panic with his kamakaze hits designed to maim and injure. He is fearless. TPN is prepared to bleed for his country or exit on a stretcher. This passion and pride in the jersey is what sets the allblacks apart and why the allblacks are so dominant. Squeaky has the element of self preservation that will ensure his retirement is pain free.

TPN can scrummage. The Tah front row is the best in Australia

TPN lineout throwing used to be a massive weakness but he has improved considerably.

TPN brings the mongrel and the fear that wallaby packs consistently lack. Wallaby forwards are the joke of international rugby and have been for decades. Even in the halcyon years, our frontrow was considered a weakness.

TPN gets the Waylon big tick for mean and nasty bastards that gain respect from the fear factor they bring. He's 'ard

The new rule for Australian forward selection should be "does this guy hurt people? "

Until Australia turns out forward packs that bully people, hurt people and dominate the tackle contest and collision zone instead of trying to play the ruck and run game and go for the losers objective of "parity", we will always be second best in the big matches that really matter

It's hard to remember an allblack pack that wasn't feared for aggression, power, physicality, toughness and tenacity....perhaps that is why they have been the bench mark in world rugby for 100 years??????????????????????????

It isn't rocket science

Rugby is a contact sport won by the toughest, meanest, strongest people

Whilst Australia continues to pick pussies in our forward pack, we will continue to be the laughing stock of world rugby in the forwards

Amongst all the contradictions and non-truths I don't know where to start?

So I'll let you believe in this fantasy and move on...

Meat eating Dutchmen by 3 points, lads.

heading down to that establishment this arvo for a couple to steady the nerves

 

[JJJ]

I hope we win and I'll be up very late (thanks channel 9) cheering for a win, but our momentum has been heading inexorably in the wrong direction over 5 matches against Wales and the ABs. So I'm not optimistic.

Seriously, the wales wins were good, people want to discount them now but tight wins in a series that before hand people expected you to lose are building blocks in the right direction.

 

[whatty]

Boks too much to play for. Positions in the team and reputations on the line.

Fixed

You're right. Australia have been magnificent in the 2011 RWC and their last 2 starts against the Allblacks..........and we have won the Bledisloe for the last 10 years............

 

[ChargerWA]

Heading off now (200km drive). See you sandgropers there.

 

[Blue]

The team that manages to execute their limited game plan the best will win.

Now there's a rugby fan. I bitch about 15 km's.

Actually they haven't, but that has nothing to do with one of our most consistent performers in Moore so do try again. TPN is a good player, but Moore is better. Your efforts to denigrate Moore doesn't change that.

 

[Waylon]

Heading to bok town to drink their beer and hit on their women

In some respects I'm sick & tired of this attitude. There is the rest of the world and other tournaments to compare to you know?
I also object to internet hardmen saying that our blokes are soft & girly... it's all good and well to throw barbs like that from a keyboard, your not the one out there busting your guts & getting bashed & bashing back. I salute them win lose or draw, as long as they've tried their best.

 

[No4918]

Melbourne Storm backline showing better creativity, use of set moves and decoy runners than the Wallabies. Where did it all go so wrong?

 

[qwerty51]

Where did it all go so wrong?

I think we all know the answer to that.

I'm sick of the attitude that accepts mediocrity

I want to take this opportunity to congratulate SAANZAR, ASANZAR or SANZAAR, (or whatever the clowns that are running The Rugby Championship now call themselves)! As a group they are meant to be promoting Rugby in this country, however, scheduling an Aust v SA test so that there will be no live radio broadcast or no live FTA television broadcast on the east coast of Australia (due to the saturation of an opposing code), is a disgrace!
