The only position I would want to change following last night's match would be Kuridrani at 13, if only we had Godwin to bring in - there are not to many other options to bring into 13, apart from AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) and then bring someone like McCabe onto the wing. It's hard to nominate any changes needed...

Just going to re-post from another thread: Here's to hoping JOC (James O'Connor) doesn't play for the rest of the Rugby Championship. I'm sick of these pretty boys, most notably Beale and JOC (James O'Connor), who think they are the best thing since sliced bread. Get some respect. The point that annoys me the most is the fact...

Here's to hoping JOC (James O'Connor) doesn't play for the rest of the Rugby Championship. I'm sick of these pretty boys, most notably Beale and JOC (James O'Connor), who think they are the best thing since sliced bread. Get some respect. The point that annoys me the most is the fact that he keeps re-offending. Does he ever...

IMO, he has nailed on a spot - at 6. When injured players return: 4. Horwill (c) 5. Fardy 6. Mowen 7. Pocock 8. Higgenbotham Would love to see this in action. Also, will be interesting to see how White and Cooper's combination goes. Don't see why McKenzie wouldn't opt for To'omua...

Starting XV: 1. Robinson 2. Moore 3. Slipper 4. Timani (as much as I don't like him) 5. Fardy 6. Mowen (c) 7. Hooper 8. McCalman 9. White 10. To'omua 11. O'Connor 12. Lilo 13. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 14. Mogg 15. Folau Alexander Fainga'a Sio Gill Simmons Genia Foley Cummins - Strength and size in the forwards...

Quade was far from the best. Yes, he may have improved but he still runs across field, not what we need from a 10. I noticed a few saying Cooper should start until To'omua gets more experience. How is he supposed to get more experience when he's sitting on the bench after 2 of the hardest games...

Quade needs to be removed from the side. Enough said. Why To'omua wasn't picked is beyond me. To'omua's first two tests were against the best side in the world, what did we all expect? He was also playing with a new halves partner. To'omua needs to be our next number 10. Lilo and AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) have made a...

Apologies that it has to come to this, but it's becoming ridiculous. These laws are straight from the IRB: Law 15.5 g) If a player is tackled near the goal line, that player can immediately reach out and ground the ball on or over the goal line to score a try or make a touch down. Therefore...

I understand Hansen has a program in place for you, but to say you'll be fine is not terribly realistic. The All-Blacks are strong because they have kept the same core for years. Read, McCaw, Carter, Nonu, C. Smith, Dagg. This is what the Wallabies lack. Carter will be a huge loss, to say...

Fair enough opinion. I feel he has been one of our best players for a while now, and to say he's never performed consistently i think is a bit much. Felt he played well in the first test, agree with a poor performance in the second test but everyone has an off game. Doesn't help when the team...

You've got to be joking right?

Well who do you reckon the best number 9 in the world is? A.Smith - Has gained around 18 caps, is good, but don't believe he is the best yet. Hougaard- Not consistent Phillips - The only player who was contesting Genia's status, had a great world cup, got destroyed on the Lions tour. Murray -...

Yeh I understand, we have been guilty of it in the past, but we could have slowed your ball down and committed professional fouls last night, but didn't. I'm sick of watching rugby matches that get decided by refereeing decisions. In an article on Sport24.co.za this is what was said that I'd...

I'm sorry but I am blaming the ref because he lost us the game. For the first 20-30 mins, we had ALL the momentum. How would the All-Blacks have gone if we were 14-0 up at least and possibly something like that going into half-time? Even 14-7 is a big difference. We had opportunities, but...

So much criticism being thrown around. Get behind your national side or don't watch at all. People are now calling Genia to sit on the bench, I'm sorry but he is easily the best 9 in the world. He had an off game, get over it, everyone does. Yes he may have had his box kicks charged down, half...
