Well in excess of 10 matches since our last DG - we're due for one eventually ;)

The body language and tone form Cheika and Moore doesnt suggest that they think they have any answers to the dominance of the AB's.

Just to show I'm only half joking:

"In New Zealand, there is no seasonal restriction to hunting wallabies meaning generally they can be hunted throughout the year. There are however, instances where restrictions apply for specific reasons and periods when hunting is favoured."

Nah, not from NZRU, it's from these guys:

Every game without Chris and Dan increases the average games per goal. Halfback as a kicker helps that IMO. Think the last one we kicked was Duncy Weirs winner against Italy back in 2014. Not been something Cotter likes, and we'll definitely not see that change under Toonie. Surprised that the Boks have a games per goal so similar to us though, and that's a massive gap between France and the rest.

So much negativity, I'm looking forward to the naysayers jumping on the bandwagon after the wallabies get the win tonight

Let's get pumped! There'll be a good performance by the Wallabies and the little bit more inexperience will shine through for the ABs.

Exciting to watch Quade Cooper play ten again. I know he can be erratic but he always brings a fearless desire to play his way. Hope this is a second coming for him rather than a false start.

Come on wallabies!
