Or cooper/kerevi/kuridrani Or cooper/Beale/kerevi Or cooper/kerevi/folau with hodge at FB. All would be preferable to the current combination. I'd make minimal changes for the Pumas/ Boks but I'd love to see Cheika think outside the box for the next ABs game. We know his selections failed in the...

How'd that work for us against England this year?

Which country do you live in? None of that would qualify him for PM. He needs a head like a robbers dog for a start.

Yeah that call was absolute bollocks :)

Wow the speed the man love for Hodge has ramped up is impressive. He had a good game against an out of sorts Boks lineup but some of the plaudits here are a bit premature. With To'omua gone surely 12 is Beales position to lose, and Foley is great bench cover when he's back. Kerevi has loads of...

Swap hodge with Beale and I'd be happy with that.

Not sure what's worse at fullback. A non kicker or a pop gun boot. Be prepared for plenty of 15m kick returns with that strategy. If you're going to shift Izzy from full back at least do it for someone who can kick. My call would be Hodge. Others might back DHP.

Stats came out a bit quicker than usual Forcefan. Replay a bit easier to watch this time around?? :)

Was at the game and yet to watch the replay but a few observations 1. It was so refreshing to have an exit strategy that wasnt 3 points and a kickoff. Discipline was much better as were hodge and coopers boot. 2. Hodge is the real deal but not on the wing. Would really like to see him get a run...

You're not concerned that I was being deliberately absurd but was in fact close to the mark?

Dude stop being so precious and read all the rest of my posts on the issue. I was being facetious in pointing out how much of a lottery the citing system is and how difficult it is for the average punter to follow. As was Pichot And as were you. So we're all on the same page.

Ok got it. So if the ref sees it and it's captured on tv then it's ok But if the video evidence is inconclusive, and the ref didn't see it, but the player has a whinge then it deserves a citing. All clear now.

Here's the narrative if you're interested. http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/new-zealand-rugby/agustin-pichot-sees-inconsistency-in-owen-franks-nonciting-for-alleged-eye-gouge-20160902-gr7a4w.html

I think this article says it all. Can't really pass the Argentinian vice chairman of world rugby off as just another whingeing Aussie who needs to get over it...

Yeah I was being deliberately facetious. But with form slumps in some of the names you mention the wing positions are wide open just waiting for someone to claim them. It could just as easily be a smokey who has a stellar year.

He's a winger right? In a country that has AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) and DHP as their wingers. And Horne, when AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) is not here on the giteau law. Shit he could be playing for the wallabies within a year.

It fits the narrative fine. A number of posters, myself included said they felt it was unlikely there was actually a gouge. But the rugby laws don't mention gouging. It's contact with the face in the vicinity of the eyes. Which clearly occurred. So franks can still consider himself very lucky.

That's a pretty solid lineup. My membership might actually be worth it for the first time since 2011.

Perhaps - it's a fine line

Mr Poite, Mr Poite he's looking at me funny. Is that almost a yellow card?
