So many problems really.

It will be interesting to see how QC (Quade Cooper) behaves in the next little period. He certainly appears to have settled down a bit, applied himself to improving his rugby at the reds and otherwise stayed out of the media glare for a while. Hopefully, being back in the Wallabies fold does not go to his...

I would like to see some serious question being asked about the All Blacks' commitment. It appears they can only get motivated against the Wallabies where they can give vent to this vendetta against Cooper. I for one will be happy that we don't see any more meek surrenders like we have seen...

Strong third tier, with keen grass roots supporters willing to pay money to see and television rights deal. Abolish Rugby League, with subsequent influx of new talent. Maybe abolish AFL and soccer as well.

Well, I would take that over 0%.

Win the Bledisloe. And the Four Nations. And undefeated EOYT. Debut young players seamlessly into the team in key positions, unearthing previously unknown, but crazily talented 120kg tight head prop and No.8 and 110kg hard running, ball playing inside centre. All the while playing attacking...

Can we really expect too much from McKenzie for this test. He has 7 weeks in which to make any difference. That presumably includes having to set up a coaching team and administration and with 2 teams of players that wont' be available, hopefully, for a few weeks yet. Difficult to get the team...

Speight.

Must have something to speculate on mustn't we.

Well, seems like they have moved quickly. If you are going to make the move, better to do it now.

All of them. We invade NZ (last I heard, they have almost no armed forces) and pick the new AGs (All Golds). Maybe keep Genia.

I think either White or McKenzie can play different styles. The real key is assessing the players at their disposal and coming up with plans that they can implement. I think that is where Deans has really had trouble over the years - not just coming up with a plan, but one that suits the...

He does seem to have forged a good working relationship with Quade though, where Quade is engaged and involved in the Reds game plan and taking some responsibility for developing and implementing it. And since his "toxic" comment, I have been pretty impressed by how QC (Quade Cooper) has handled himself...

What I don't get about this is his focus on the rankings as if that is something to be proud of. We were ranked 5, then got to 2 (briefly) and now we are 3rd. To me that says we have gone nowhere in the last 6 years. For some time now, the All Blacks have been well clear of the rest of world...

I was thinking to myself this morning that I should not have been surprised by last night. One of the hall marks of Deans time as coach is that every time the team talks themselves up, they put out one of the poorest performances seen. Last night was probably one of the worst performances I...
