who is the "you" of your first word? MOD EDIT: Biffo, let it go right now. One more warning and you are on a long holiday. Move on.

the philosophy behind TGC's approach is interminable. it has been well trialled and proved at all levels of the game for closing on 100 years. Bob Dwyer won a World Cup applying that philosophy. the problem is, as you point out, that it takes time to get players to learn all they need to know...

errr, hasn't he slowed right down, to a crawl? or, better, stopped?

my impression last night was that the game had fewer dropouts than i have ever seen in a test. anyone else see that? what is the record for fewest dropouts in a test? how many were there last night?

thanks. i think mine is a serious point and you seem to agree. watching, i got the impression at 22-12 that there was no attempt at control - in either limiting/shutting down the AIGs' options or piling on the pressure by upping the tempo of the game plan that had been working OK. i thought also...

Robbie D has "walked out on another club"? pray tell while you are at it, your use of "another" suggests that Robbie D had previously walked out on a club. pray tell which club and when.

have another look - you will find some irony in my last sentence or, were you being also ironic?

yes, good points there. as a matter of interest, who are the "senior players" that are commonly referenced? i can never quite work out who they are and whether they vary from game to game.

a rather comical assertion crops up a lot in this thread -- -- that Australian rugby would be better off if the game shut down in NSW in that event, from where would the rest of Australia get its players?

it is about 15 years since i first proposed Nick Mallett for Wallabies or Waratahs coach - almost from the days the Boks fired him. i can only hope. my only objection to Mallett is that, as a pom, he wouldn't be able to motivate the Wallabies for the pool game against England in RWC 2015.

thanks, but .... i saw the incident and Messam and Phipps and Hooper having a chat but i can't read lips i would like to find a transcript

aren't they, like, high priests of player power?

thanks for posting that. may i point out how much Japan has improved since that press conference? a huge amount.

can someone please direct me to where i can see an account of that incident? i was wondering what it was about. thanks in advance

you jest --- and not well. Dwyer and Macqueen are past it - the latter was out of his depth at the Rebels. Fisher has an almost zero record as a head coach. Larkham and Foley are barely experienced enough to run a province team, let alone a test team. you want the Wallabies coached as the Tahs...

:) very good, teacher. however, it's your turn. find a better candidate than TGC and JtS NM?

tried and true Australian coaches? show us where such animals might be found

yep, only JtS left.

the lesson that should surely be apparent to all is that "local" doesn't necessarily mean better than "foreign" isn't it obvious?

yep, Jake gets the gig. you'd be arguing furiously for the bloke face down with a sword through his middle, wouldn't you?
