    Australia vs South Africa - Brisbane 7th Sept 2013

    I live in the UK and only get on here every now and then after I have been on the piss. But my last comments,I must have a break for a while: Watched Noddy on our telly today close to tears after the game at the demise of our rugby and how the boys laughed and joked w the saffas after the game...

    Where did we go wrong? Wallaby Recovery thread.

    Sorry McCalman is a joke. Biggest leaner on rucks I have ever seen.and not real big.and not very good. We lack a number 8 and have done for a long time.Meant to be a gifted athlete or a hard man.and big. (Reid,Picamoles,Zinzan,Gavin,Dallaglio,) Long long time since we've had a good one but I...

    Where did we go wrong? Wallaby Recovery thread.

    and the thing is we had 60% of the ball.stop blaming the pigs. They weren't great but in the past Australian Rugbys thing was we had the backs to win a game with 40% ball and it was true,I grew up watching that. 1 week in but Jim McKay who Bob Dwyer rates needs to pull his finger out.and get the...

    Where did we go wrong? Wallaby Recovery thread.

    JOC (James O'Connor) made one horror defensive lapse early and that was it. Mccaw try not his fault, broken phase play he was where he was in the defensive line,have none of you c..... ever played Rugby before??Most of 2nd half he was fullback. And To'omua produced exactly what he produced for the Brumbies all...

    Aus vs NZ - 1st Test Sydney 17Aug2013

    Spot on Hawko. Christian was the best five eighth in Australia last year,seems inneffective at 12. I love Mogg but fear he made be found out. It's more his standoffishness that worries me than the actual missed attempts.But if he can be unleashed he is a Campo in the making so defense may be...

    Aus vs NZ - 1st Test Sydney 17Aug2013

    I am intrigued as to what all the people pushing for the inclusion of To'omua are expecting to see from him if picked.At best he was ordinary in the last 3 games of the season.Yes set up a great try to win at Loftus but even I could have run through that gap at my advanced age. He does not run or...

    Cheerio Deans

    Spot on because word from the Brumbies is he is a manager in the style of SCW and Bernie and Laurie run the show.But perhaps, contradicting my previous drunken post,that is what is needed. Direction in any form would be an improvement.

    Cheerio Deans

    M.Hawker,who has placed his old school buddy in the CEO role would only have Mckenzie as coach over his dead body.Other board members with a Rugby brain see it differently. Will be a fun week. Really don't want to become a saffa ball team ,would rather stick with Robbie.No, perhaps start...

    Waratahs v. B&I Lions - Saturday 15 June 2013

    Watched in a pub in London w a bunch of (relatively speaking) rugby knowledgable poms , all quite concerned about the ease at which space was found out wide wtih a couple of long passes. I assured them that this would probably not be a problem come the test matches as super coach has not...

    No she's a keeper, just exaggerate for affect, her Dad landed in Italy in '44 as a 19 year tank commander,went on post war rugby tours to Hamburg w lots of great stories,she knows the score!

    Wallabies 31 Man Squad

    Just watched the third test of 2001 series on ESPN here in the UK, Googy Harrison, on debut, was immense.It seems though that these days we cannot risk a debutant against the Lions(4th best team in the world!!) I fly home Wednesday for first 2 tests , risking divorce,with an edginess best...

    Wallabies 31 Man Squad

    I hear what you are saying but there are probably a dozen guys ,playing club or bush Rugby around Australia,90kgish,if told you are going from the wing/fullback from the Orange Emus to inside centre for the Wallabies, to tackle your arse off and run really really hard and get belted until you...

    See your argument.He has some good games but missing in a lot(of super Rugby games)He is no G.Smith,Pocock,Poidevin(Yet)

    Wallabies 31 Man Squad

    Just lurk but don't comment much but my thinking exactly. More 13 really, no obvious heir apparent for AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) (Except the Badger). He passes better than our last decade or so of 13s(AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), Stirling,Herbert) and could be taught the defensive systems of a 13 easily enough.and is quicker. Stranger...

    Wallabies Watch

    Every side needs a Shane Williams, IRB Player Of The Year, awarded by people that actually played.. In my 40 years of playing and coaching I have never seen such a coming together of such talent as we could possibly have in the backs yet we have a Cantabrian conservative in charge.Makes we weep.
