For the life of me, I can't understand why the ARU hasn't found the best kicking coach int he AFL, or even just the best kicker, and offered them a paper bag full of charlie and a dozen hookers to teach our players how to kick a fucking ball. We lose so many games because of an ability to kick...

He cant be any worse than Graham.

Any word yet on Hooper's knee?

RE scrums: I don't get JP Smith. Ruan is a beast, but JP isn't up to this level, he gets owned week in week out. Poor kick from Christian, but it happens. Easy to blame the loss on him, but he did get 4/5. Giving up a 16-3 lead in the last 10mins of the first half is what did us, we gave...

Nah, our season died losing to the Blues and the Rebels. We'd have taken a 1 point loss at Newlands if offered earlier in the season.

Or we lock To'omua and TK in the centres, and then look at our options at 10. Ideally, we could get Phipps Cooper To'omua TK With either of Lealiifano or Foley on the bench, but if Lealiifano keeps playing at 10 and keeps outplaying his rivals there, then surely he becomes an option at...

Well, interesting developments! Please, please, please.....

He's also certainly on steroids :O

Yep, Mitchell played his way into the squad. We're lacking some proper wingers with experience, and an ability to finish. Lots of talent, but no one with 50 odd test appearances, recent high pressure knockout comp finals experience, size, strength and a kicking game. His defence was never...

Why on earth are we taking only 31?

Alright, he's my pick. Slipper, Sio Moore, TPN, Fainga'a Kepu, PAE/Alexander Skelton, Timani Simmons, Carter Fardy, McMahon Hooper, Pocock Palu, Vaea, McCalman Phipps, White, Genia Foley, Cooper Tomane, JOC (James O'Connor) To'omua, Lealiifano Kuridrani, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) Speight Folau, Beale...

OH......

Our scrum would get blitzkrieged

His understanding of how to put the ball out in fron of his target, and draw them onto it, is excellent. That whole sequence would have been butchered when Betham scored, if that pass to Beale wasn't so far out in front of him. Kurtley had to put the hammer down just to reach it, but it's the...

Interestingly, people unleash on Cooper when talking about the semi final, and laud Beiber. Watch it again, Cooper starts poorly and then plays quite well for the rest of the game, behind a pulverised forward pack. Beiber actually had a really shitty semi-final, he's the one who got carried...

You pass it anyway. 4m in front of them, where they should be, and MAKE them run onto it.

Phipps, Stirzaker, and White, wipe the floor with Genia in terms of passing speed and accuracy.

Still better than Genia's pass, and he actually seems to understand the need to put the ball out in front of his man, and draw them onto it. Genia gets it right about 30% of the time, the rest he just kills momentum in the attack. I don't care how good his running game is, his passing is...

OK, i'll say it again in case some people are as daft as they're coming across: YOU MUST HAVE 60 FUCKING CAPS TO BE ELIGIBLE !!!!!!!!!! OR Have signed a contract to come back to Australian rugby. Stop talking about PYle, Ma'afood, Douglas, Dan Palmer etc et-fucking-cetera. 60...

Fuck that. Alalalaaaalalaltoa, Moore and Ruan Smith. Ruan is the good one, I don't see anything at all in JP. Vaea has to start too, he's hands down the most devastating ball runner in Aussie rugby, let alone the Brumbies.
