I quite like the way Simmons goes about his business both on and off the field , congratulations on your 50th test - do us proud , go well ! Now back to the sledging .....

I'm no expert but I think Beale needs to run more direct angles off shorter passes , his sideways movement is like a blowfly looking for holes in a screen door ...(I hope the Honey badger would be proud of that one! ) seems to cramp his outside backs .

Who hands out the rights / ownership of Wallaby Tests in the first place ? Surely there should be a home market clause for the visiting side if an original on sell or on broadcast cannot be consummated for the visiting sides market of origin ? That is use it or lose it , not unlike mining...

Mr Pulver asked me to give you your ARU Top Up !!!

We may all need to take up the Government's marriage counselling offer now that the oasis that was the Shute Shield coverage is no more ...suddenly 3pm -5pm could now become a domestic black spot , or, the attendances skyrocket as we go for broke !

The captains of industry stopped fawning over rugby when the ARU remained somewhat aloof and disengaged with the rugby community who I consider are more diverse than you think ... The "Members Only" attitude is a turn off to many in this country (that includes many well heeled and connected...

I can remember John O'Neill addressing schoolboys team & parents at a post match function ... the biggest issue he talked about was Rugby's financial state , the sickening aspect was the unbeknown to us he was pocketing north of $2mill that year . The sins of the past have come back to haunt us...

Jones played U16 Rep for Gordon , then Sydney Uni Colts & Grade (and Force), then Manly (and Rebels).

The Benchmark was set by former dual international Rex "The Moose" Mossop in the mid seventies ... "If there's one thing I can't stand , it's having male genitalia shoved down my throat!" (In response to a nudists beach near his home) ...The channel seven switchboard went into overload .

This is truly depressing .....I love watching Shute Shield on the ABC , it adds to the Super 15 & Test & NRC experience when you have seen or spotted a player at grass roots level and then can buy into the experience . I get to around 3 Shute games a year , 2 NRC and around 3 Super 15 games ...

thank you

Maybe the revolving door mentality by some in Australia at the moment from the fan base on coaches and players is set to destroy a meaningful build up to the 2015WC . This EOYT is the vehicle to take a step back and give some latitude to the Coach & Players to get the mental part right "belief"...

Am I imagining things , watched the game twice and came away with the feeling that the Irish constantly did not release the tackled player ... If I'm right I am actually starting to feel like we have a fair bit of upside in the lead up to the World Cup .... If Cheika can address the slow down of...

I am hoping to see some backrow synergy develop between McCalman , Jones & Hooper ... all have a terrific work ethic and I feel the trio can offer more than many can see at first glance . Why ? A: McCalman & Jones played together at the Force (and were both mentored by Nathan Sharpe), whilst...

I think they tried that model in France in 1789-1799 and we all know how that turned out for the rarefied few, Messrs Pulver & Hawker? Maybe a couple of these clowns at the upper echelons of the ARU when they are swanning around the globe should meet up with some contemporaries in other sports...

Like the back 5 .... now stay in the scrum and push lads . McCalman has stood up ... Carter has to repay the faith .... Simmons I think has been improving ....Jones deserves this chance , is stronger than you think ...Hooper - time to get a little tighter ... all solid guys , I hope they make it...

The players probably don't mind having a beer with Beale after the game , they just don't want to have 20 beers , those how know him seem to like him a lot , I sat next to some members of his family at a game and he came over after the match , I must say from the interaction I saw it seemed hard...

When you've been tackled by Jones you know it , in attack he is generally heavily marked and continues to get across the advantage line ..high work rate....no surprise the rising fell away in the NRC when the trio left on the EOYT that scrum was enormous . Maybe we need "solid" rather than...

I was having a couple of Rolling Rocks on the Grassy Knoll ... couldn't see Cheiks and Beale there but when I glanced up at the Book Depository ..........

MHCS , Just a couple of smorgasbords and a few Guinness's should do it ... off to the pub now - but at 6ft 3 and with Skelton in the pack the scrum would look more like the Guggenheim museum in Bilbao .. Oh,by the way who is my chaperone for the flight ?
