The Thing?

The Thing?

Have nicknamed Pocock that during the live blog of the match...as he reminded me so much of one of the Fantastic Four...apt don't you think? Same height, build and 'menaceness'

3) Pocock. Sure as hell he is the next Richie and a worthy heir to Smith.
2) JOC (James O'Connor). High balls aside, the kid is a fucking freak of nature and could one day be mentioned in the same breath as any former Wallaby great.
1) Ma'afu. I wanted him shot and buried in June, but credit where it is due; he was a warrior today.

Special mention to Elsom, Gits and Sharpe's dentist....Scrub up dude!

1. Genia - knew when to pass away, knew when to run

For the first time in my life I was screaming at Genia. Hurry the fuck up! Were you actually Burgess in disguise tonight?

Agreed, that hit on Matfield...sensational.

Special mention to Elsom, Gits and Sharpe's dentist....Scrub up dude!

1.Giteau

Fainga'a tried his heart out but there was a big difference when Moore came on. Maafu was once again busy but is suspect at scrum time.

Honourable mentions for Sharpe and Mitchell.

 

[Richo]

3. Pocock - no comment necessary.
2. Genia - commanding presence.
1. Elsom - marked down for some poor skills in open play.

Welcome improvements from Ma'afu, Mitchell and Giteau.

I understand what you were saying but to be fair, Moore had the benifit of facing a worn down opposition.

-1 for Cooper. That spear tackle came at the wrong time, and really sucked the momentum out of he Wallabies. Cost us a try, and any chance for the bonus point.
