And excellent news: the big fella to play on (Deans' willing) http://www.foxsports.com.au/rugby/rugby-world-cup-2011/wallabies-veteran-nathan-sharpe-focused-on-playing-more-tests-after-rugby-world-cup-2011/story-e6frf4zl-1226173872210

You really are up for a stoush, aren't you? You lost. Deal.

Little off topic, but I'm game... Timani has played patches of blinding footy at Super franchises the width of the nation. He has never really delivered. In the big game opportunities he has had (which are fewer than Simmons') he has not delivered. If he is consistent, he'll get a game. Simmons...

The deal was on current form. Simmons has been inconspicuous.

Two games (at home) doth not a World Cup make.

Yep, absolutely. But it's still a punt, innit it? Simmons was awol for chunks of the pool stage. I do have faith in Mad Professor Deans - he stuck with Vicks (another Mad Professor?) even though he was a penalty magnet in pool play. Vicks came right last week. Perhaps he's spotted another...

I'm grateful to have nothing to do with the baby blues from NSW. There's nothing to say Simmons won't become a legend. He's far further down the road than Timani. But to put him into a sudden death playoff when he has been ordinary all tournament is perplexing. There's been no...

You can factor in the Saffas, you can call in the Kiwi shearers, but the take home is that there are plenty of young blokes with shed-loads of talent. They are hard. Will be world-class. Can't wait...

Dear Link, You're a professional coach. Do you find the relentless, one-eyed, BS, provincial attitudes incredibly boring?

So, when you cut and paste Roosevelt you're suggesting we should place faith in verbosity? I think RD may have a little way to go before we can compare the two.

The Official IRB app is surprisingly good. Five to six minutes of recaps soon after games end. BBerry Android - Apple

Robbie: mad genius or plain mad? You do not take injured players to a World-freaking-Cup. Nor do you fuck with form.

Sully, sorry for doubling up. Great minds, eh?

Kev, captaincy... Poey had a crack leading the team against the Yarpies. There's the frequently floated suggestion on these boards that you could do the job. Do you want to be the captain of the Wallabies? Assuming the answer is 'yes'; looking forward, what do you think your chances are? Have...

I believe your point was NSW selected a team with massive reps, without runs on the board and/or steel in the spine. Soft upper class numpties sounds about right. And as for the class issue, don't kid yourself. The place has always had have's and have not's.

Boo-frikkin-hoo... A bunch of soft upper class numpties from NSW lose and rugby in Australia is cactus? Are you really that insular?
