i think the biggest issue is that there is no apparent successor to the vacant 7 spot........ this is a good and a bad thing..........maybe the conservative play was a result of the 7 and 12.............who despite other comments on personnel, were there pretty much for nearly evvery game...

I agree with a lot of this Gnostic. To comment on what I have highlighted I have put a lot of thought into the Cooper bashing. Hence why I spoke to my Wallaby friends. I have also been around the game long enough to know the difference between a good provincial player and a good test player...

Great question Gnostic. The first question I asked my Wallaby friends when they told me of the change of tactics was very much along those lines.................their response.......was to point out the chasing Wallaby players in the footage, Digby was sprinting in anticipation it was going long...

Firstly, I think the best lock in the country is the captain.......remember him? James Horwill. I'll get some footage from my friends in high places and show you Sharpe's turn overs....will need a few weeks to get the footage though. Secondly, I wouldn't have had an issue if Mortlock or Waugh...

surprising isn't it..........what I can't get my head around is that those Wests blokes, they are ok at best (not including Su'a in that gross generalisation as I rate him) appear to have left for higher grades at Eastwood. Looking at Eastwood's 2nd grade team this year...........the side that...

I can assure you, the instruction was for the long kick.

gotta admire your loyalty there WJ. However, until they address the issue of Hangers not being up to it at that level and Carter's inability to catch and pass, it wouldn't matter who's outside them. Barnes should play 12, but it still doesnt fix the isssue of 10.............IMO

no i dont. But he deliberately kicked short when told to kick long. Maybe crayons will make it easier for you to comprehend.

you are entirely missing the point here. They cant understand why he completely ignored the instruction and the game plan. Next time I'll draw a picture for you.

Umm.............pretty much. Cooper is a liability at Test level. There are no hiding spots out there. However, in saying that, he would certainly offer some match winning threats off the bench with 10 to go...... Even JOC (James O'Connor) now offers a more reliable alternative at 10. I think Barnes is better...

Care to name them?

All of those blokes have had more clubs than Tiger Woods. They are all good mates of Su'a and go where he goes.

Agree, box kicks off set piece...............dont think that was in the game plan..........or atlest I hope not. What the Wallabies did well in 3N was to attack the fringes a few times, the AB's then come up and defend in the line and Genia would then box kick into open space................that...

Think you're being a little harsh on McCalman there. It wasn't his fault he was picked as the cover for 7. He is good 8 who should be given time to play at 8 at test level. Samo - goes missing in the tough stuff and big games. Palu - I think they had to take him purely because Richard Brown and...

He hasn't.

Sorry Newter, I completely disagree with your first paragraph there. I know some Wallabies personally. The first mistake Cooper made was the kick off. Agree, it wasn't fatal, however it set the tone. According to the guys I have spoken too, the kick off was supposed to be deep, landing just in...

Deans found out the hard way that you cannot hide someone at that level..............and look at how well Digby played on the UK tour. Stop and ask yourself why he was so good......................because he was so fresh because he wasn't having to do the defence of someone else! This reason...

no i dont.................but thanks

Some might even say the highest paid NZRU Coach was Robbie Deans...........I will NEVER understand or accept why Barnes was left out of the big games. Particularly after QC (Quade Cooper) was just so terrible and clearly a target for the AB's. case in point below.................but we've all argued this...

Wonder if he's heading back to our shores? http://www.rabodirectpro12.com/teams/ospreys/11911.php
