Jeez. Darkness descends.
Expected the Wobs to come up short but not to get slapped around like the red headed stepchild.
Dunno what now. Maybe get an insurance company to sponsor? What's AAMII up to?
The pack really looked second rate out there. It's all fair and well to say that players should put there body on the line but they seemed to be a second too late all night.
The speed of the AB pack as unit is quite frightening.

I agree, as much as I love the bloke Sharpe was the definition of a soft tight 5 player. We need more locks with the aggression of the man in my avatar. Guys who didn't give a fuck about themselves or anyone else and just flung their body into anything black.

Blue...you guys have the cattle to bury the darkness. Any chance we can borrow Bakkies from you through to the RWC. We need some hard men and you guys don't seem to have any trouble breeding those fellas over there.

accepting that Link isn't going to make too many changes from the 23, I'd go:
1. Slipper
2. TPN if fit/Charles
3. Kepu
4. Horwill
5. Simmons
6. Higginbotham
7. Hooper
8. Palu
9. Phipps
10. Foley
11. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)
12. Beale
13. Kuridrani
14. Horne
15. Folau
16. Hansen/Charles
17. Cowan
18. Alexander
19. Skelton
20. Fardy
21. White
22. To'omua
23. McCabe
and before you shoot me down about Beale over To'omua, please deliver a valid argument as to what the latter has delivered this series so far..

If Ricciardo doesn't get himself on the podium on Sunday then this will go down as one of the most anti-climatic, miserable weekends of sport in a very long time for me. What could have been!
4am here in the US and I half a hangover and I'm fucking cranky.

Wallabies were put enthused out thought out of touch
If we go to Melbourne, and they don't, we'll still probably lose.

Absolutely, guys like Vickerman would make all the difference (record against the All Blacks 7 wins from 29 games)

Hahahaha. Thanks for making me laugh. I needed that.

TBH I don't care if its Beale or To'omua on the Bench but Foley definitely gives us structure that seemingly neither of them could.
Beale also looked 20 times better when he was dictating outside Bernard.
But I am still a fan of To'omua's straight running and kicking ability/ great defence.
Who knows, I just don't know what the answer is anymore.

Nope, you said Melbourne. It easy....just scroll up an inch and nope, we still lose the series.
