I think most of us will agree that the starting forward pack pretty much picks itself. Id be minded to go with daungunu over toole given the task at hand ..bit more experienced and a better defender imo

My assumption with Faessler is that Schmidt decided he hasnt shown enough this year and needs to work his way back. I wouldnt say schmidt doesnt rate him. He was schmidts go-to last year (even for game 1 against the lions) for good reason. But he's not played much rugby this year and needs to...

can we just start a seperate thread to debate Tom Lynagh's abilities. Maybe call it "if you think Tom Lynagh isnt shit you must be from Qld".

Depends which boks team turns up...all 4 teams a bit inconsistent Depends which boks team turns up...all 4 teams have been inconsistent. They certainly wouldnt beat the boks i watched this evening

Did anyone else get the distinct feeling that they cleared the pass on that last wallabies try because they knew theyd wrongly called mcreights pass forward 2 minutes earlier?

My honest opinion of edmed was that he had a poor game but he had a few good touches (most notably an excellent 50/20) and toiled away despite a poor start. He's clearly not a first or second choice 10 but i also dont think we need to write the bloke off completely. Its a tough environment to...

At the end of the day somehow wallabies are top of the ladder

Honestly it kinda felt we were due for a shit performance and it was certainly that. Probably the reality check we needed. Very frustrating game, from the referee to the errors. The only silver lining is that we managed to save face and somehow put ourselves within striking distance at the end...

Eager to see how Tom Lynagh gets blamed for this one

On paper Len's a huge loss. But paisami is pretty safe hands. Experienced, physical, capable of match turning moments at test level. I think the big knock on him has been that he's a bit too one dimensional for the wallabies but he should theoretically fit in well with schidts very direct game...

3. Ikitau 2. JAS 1. Wilson Honorable mention Bell McReight Hooper

Just rewatched the game. Id say the biggest stand out was the performance of our 12/13. JAS and Ikitau were so dominant. Should put to bed suggestions that JAS shouldnt be playing centre IMO. He just needs seasoning

Thats really the next step for this team at this point...executing for 80 mins..we've been a rocks and diamond side for so long so thats easier said than done

Yep. Pretty much an anomaly

Just got home. Havent yet read others comments on the thread and iv had more than a few drinks (disclaimer) but a few thoughts from the game... 1. Not the most attractive game to watch due to what i thought was pretty pedantic reffing. That said, the end of the game was brilliant. Had a league...
