Ok well done Eddie on your Cook Cup win but I still find all this super coach man love for Eddie hard to swallow considering the state he left Australian Rugby in 2005. They say we learn from our mistakes and it certainly looks like Eddie has learnt a lot from his mistakes as Australian head...

I think they have mixed up the missed tackles as I'm sure Australia didn't miss 31 as they have England only making 48 runs.
Both teams have changed a little bit on paper, Pocock is the big in for us along with Stephen...
I have no problem with what Cheika came up with at Eden park last Saturday, to beat the All Blacks at Eden park you need to try something a bit different. Unfortunately it didn't come off but I think we learnt that our bigger forward pack was certainly not better.
Some people may disagree but I...

I think Cheika got it wrong but we got the win.
Pocock/Hooper works & Skelton may be good at super rugby & 3rd string French touring sides but he was a passenger tonight.
SM: Scott Sio, Greg Holmes & James Horwill.
A good way to finish the season & I think we are definitely on the up. Really only two bad decisions away from a grand slam & this bunch would be sitting with the great team of 1984.
The front row of Slipper, Moore & Kepu was a massive improvement & I can't see Ben Alexander staying in the 23...
Can't wait for this match should be a beauty. Talk that McCaw may get a bench spot just to make it that little bit spicy.
Big test for Quade & the Reds who have struggled to cross the tryline on a regular basis of late but on the other hand the Crusdaers have been racking up some big scores...

Don't know if this link from Foxsports has worked but this doesn't look good for Horwill I think he'll be in...
Our head coaching stocks look pretty good really I think McKenzie should & will be the national coach at the end of the season & if things go well he will probably be in charge until 2019.
But if Cheika can continue to keeps the TAHS running well I'd like to see him one day coach the...
I hope these girls have cooked some eggs because when Ruchie & the boys get back from Europe they are gone give em some beans a huge serving of beans.
What complete disrespect they've shown for the nation of New Zealand sure we've seen Bronze medal hakas even out of time shopping mall hakas...
He's playing the Proteas this week & I'm hoping he makes a big score. Lots of talk about Wade replacing Haddin but I think Paine it better than both.
If his finger is healed & he is fully fit then I'd like to see him back in the test side sooner rather than later even if hasn't been scoring...
Did Rod kafer say there was an ARU board meeting tomorrow (9/10/12) on the Rugby club last week?
If Deans doesn't get sacked will they have to announce that he is staying on? It would be just like the ARU to say nothing if he doesn't get shoved.
If he does get marched will he be moved on...
Actually harder this week than last week as nobody was completely shit they just play poorly as team so that actually counts against Deans.
15.AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) (5) He usually plays heaps better at International level but he brought his super rugby form this week.
14.Mitchell (NR) Got injured early & the...
15. Beale (0) Yes actually zero he did nothing good in this game at all.
14. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) (4) dropped a high ball but otherwise did nothing wrong.
13. Horne (5) Actually finished the game pretty strong.
12. Fainga'a (2) He's actually a pretty good super rugby player.
11. Ioane (7) Was good did nothing...
Just getting in early, for some reason I just have feeling this is going to be 2009 all over again.
What area are they going to stuff up tonight in 2009 it was basically everything in 2010 it was re-starts/kick offs in 2011 it was defence & then at the world cup it was attack that went to shit...
Just got back from my brothers wedding in London & with my father being from Liverpool the family has a few Everton & liverpool football (soccer) supporters so there was a few interesting conversations & most were about Kenny Dalgleish the former Liverpool head coach & the similarities between...
I'm going to start a poll so please list any Aussie players outstanding world cup performances I may have missed.
I'll narrow down the list to 5 when I do the poll
Tim Horan 1999 RWC semi v Springboks
Stirling Mortlock 2003 RWC semi v New Zealand
David Pocock 2011 RWC Quarter final v South...
I have to say that I've been impressed with Quade's defence/tackling so far this year. Against the Highlanders on Friday night he was superb with his ball & all tackling.
That hit on Hosea Gear @ the end was almost a match winner. If he can maintain this form in defence I think he can give us...
