Oh for sure, we're low on options. If Simmons and Douglas are as AWOL as they were last game, i'd be calling Sam Carter up and getting the Brumbies 2nd row pairing back together, and playing McCalman at, Gill at 7. I reckon our pack would be much more accurate at the breakdown then, and...

Especially with Douglas, Simmons and Kepu also out there.

It's not the key problem but it certainly helps. Anyone's who's seen a team with Ant Fainga'a in the backline know's exactly who is marking whom, even from 40 rows back at Suncorp. It requires the whole team to be focussed on realignment and and transition, but having one player out there...

And on defense? This is my point. We rave about attack, but as defense is 50% of the battle, why are we not stacking our backline with at least one from 7 who is a defensive specialist? Someone to be the defensive flyhalf and run the show. When Robinson skinned Latham in 2001, listen to the...

Yes, we a bloody good side. Did we win five consecutive Bledisloes, a World Cup, Lions series and 3 tri-nations titles? We were bloody good in the early nineties. We were even better 98-02.

Sigh, what did we win between 1991 and 1998?

1991-1998 not much happened for us mate. He was the best 12 the game's seen, but as a team, 98-02 were our best years.

Obviously, but 1998-2002 is when we won everything there was to win. 5 consecutive Bledisloes, a World cup, Lions and a few tri-nations titles. Correct me if i'm wrong but we had Nathan Grey at 12 for most of that period? As good as Horan was, he actually was part of the team on their way up...

No idea RE the Butcher. However, i'd much prefer the defensive back at 12. Two reasons. 1. Attack. There must be someone straightening the attack, and I think it's best for that at 12. Just look at NZ. They've been dominant with Nonu as a battering ram in the 12 channel. No one drifts off...

Good article, and it's precisely why i've been pushing the McCabe/Fainga'a in ONE of the centre positions for years. We have an entire backline full of attacking players, why should we not have at least ONE player who is an expert at the flip side of the game? One we spend at least 50% of the...

Yep, Slipper, Moore and Palmer in the front row. Coached by Laurie Fisher and Noriega, with Larkham running the backs and Link the head coach. Dean Benton to take over fitness and conditioning. Fuck, i'd pay to see Benton run a session just to watch Kepu get tortured.

The scrum is what worries me the least. If we dominate the breakdown, the scrum is not a huge problem. However, after the weekends game, Alexander must start. He's no worse in the scrum, but at least he fucking DOES something around the field. Seriously, watch the clip and just follow Kepu...

Squats. I've just found my new workout motivation.

You just said a positive thing about Kepu, after the weekends game. Anything you say now is redundant.

It's all irrelevent anyway, Christian lealiifano is the best flyhalf in Australia. It's not until he plays there that he really steps it up, because he has to. The best backline Aus could put out were everyone healthy and fit would be Genia Lealiifano Folau One of McCabe/Fainga'a for their...

Remove head from sphincter THEN type!

Couldn't be much worse!!!

So, having nearly had a stroke watching him bumble around the field on Saturday, I figured I would watch the video again sober and calm and follow his every movement to work out if he was as spectacularly useless as I remember. This is the video i've used, and all these timings are from...

Brumboyism? Really? So, it's a wild provincial bias, and ludicrous over the top favouritism to suggest Brumbies players (who shat all over their Aussie opponents during the Super rugby season and made the grand final) but it's NOT provincial bias to suggest.....I don't know, Waratahs players...

So, you'd drop the player who's scored 98% of our points in international rugby this season? Good one. Crawford over Beiber? He was about the only back to actually make metres. And, you'd pick Kepu again? He should be dragged out the back of the stadium and shot. I'd pick Tony fucking...
