I really love how the GAGR forum goes a little bit slower then normal on the day of test. Everyone's out enjoying some normal life before the crazy passion kicks in.

The quiet before the storm :)

Yes pulver goes on about it.
From February this year:
“I give Michael Cheika (Wallabies coach) and others great credit for the fact that Australia has a real focus on smart, creative, running rugby. That’s what fans want to see and that’s what they will come back time and time to watch."

People want to see us win, Bill. Let's put a run of wins together, say 7 or 8 out of 10, and then let's worry about how 'smart' and 'creative' our rugby is.

Want a full ANZ stadium for the bledisloe? Allow people to think we might actually win it.

He doesn't seem to be going too well with this part of the equation either.

Unfortunately we now have a generation of supporters who equate "running rugby" with never kicking the ball, but maintaining possession until you can eventually break the line. Such one dimensional play has almost no hope in the professional era with structured defences and high levels of fitness. (And I'm not sure that it worked particularly well in the amateur era either)

In XVs, yes.

you don't think that has anything at all do with the folks here spending less time on their computers on a Saturday than they do Monday-Friday? ;)

well, knowing Cheika at some point he'll say to himself 'fuck the business plan'. Hopefully sooner than later..

Just a question from the book of inconsequential questions. Why does every rugby nation in the world have their open side as no. 7 except for South Africa who have him at 6?

The South West of France (i.e. Traditional Rugby area) has wrong way flankers too IIRC.

Israel just knocked a ball on during warm up. It's a good omen!
