Just in case you have forgotten what it looks like, here is a reminder - you have not touched it since the dawn series of 2002. I think you have won only 6 of the last 26 Bledisloe games

New coach, new scrum laws, no Carter. We could be half a chance... but I thought that about the ashes as well!

go away ted

Great, another competition to get flogged in.

It was on the agenda earlier in the month but we have friends coming to stay for the w/e so its been canned - apparently I have seen the 2013 champions (Manly) live enough this year Should be a good battle though. Tonight will tell us exactly where Souths are and what they have learnt from the last 4 weeks.

Wallabies team is interesting - I see that McKenzie is terrified that Quad will get run over by our boys so he has him on the bench...when Robbie was in his last days he said he would be his number 10......ummmm I wonder if Quad will think the environment is still toxic A friend of mine whose nephew plays for the Rebels was telling me a few stories about a certain ex # 10 and now back on the wing...sounds like the playing group was more than happy to see him depart.

Lets hope not......he is responsible for all this slowing the play down nonsense and all those crap tackles that go on. We do not want people like him ruining rugby.

He is a great coach - he knows how to get his team to play on the edge of the rules....but he is not my cup of tea. Maybe Craig and Richie McCall could set up a consulting business on how to live on the edge of the rules - they are both masters of it - they just go about it differently

lets be honest O'conner was never a #10 he doesn't see the game well enough to bring others in hes a ball carrier not a creator...glad jess Mogg is getting a crack...jury is out on Quade I persanally think that he is too flaky for international rugby...good super rugby player that will never get it together on teh big stage....forward pack looks good so game on Rainbow Richie Mcaw and your Fat head all black mates!!

I agree 100% with this comment.

We have decided to take it easy on you and have left Dan behind for the game - hope thats ok with you I like AC but his kicking is way short of the mark when compared to the great DC although he did win us a world cup at long last

Yes thanks for that...hopefully it won't be a kick fest and we some some good smash 'em up running rugby which would suit us....does anyone else think that Link has picked a very All Blacks style back line rock solid with little flair on the inside line breakers in the back three??

That was a most enjoyable game to watch from my perspective A nice solo try to WG and a last ditch attempt by JC in the final hooray but otherwise the wobblying Wallabies did not look like they were going to get over the line at all. Looks like MacKenzie has a lot of work to do.

I dunno how anything Link does is going to put a couple of 100 tests worth of experience into our back line...that was like watching the middle school play the fist 15...Jessie Mogg had a a shocker and should be on a wing with o'conner at full back

4th choice Number 10 but I think we will be ok.....bet of the night is total points more than 46 at $1.91.

What a promising start.....fmd

^^^^
and ended up a whole pile of pppppffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffttttttttttttttttttttt champion

Maybe they need a rugby league coach to teach them how to work backline plays and MacKenzie to try to coach some talent into the forwards. They are a rabble at the moment.

My wife knows next to nothing about league or rugby, but when she saw Folau get the ball and run she made the comment that he looked more professional than the rest of the wallabies. Yep!

Yep that was a good run from him...he was better last night but still needs to go looking more for the ball. I think you blokes just do not know what to do with the ball when you have it. It also most like you just go through the motions...pick and drive, one out and up...then across the park, ruck, release and do it all again....without actually ever really putting pressure on our defence. You are much improved at hanging on to the ball but once you have it it does not worry me too much at the moment It was a good first 20 mins from your lot.

i believe it will come ted. but what needs to happen is every state/super rugby side need to buy into a vision and unified approach. really the aussie coach should only have to bring the guys together and hone- not teach them how to play.


i admire nz rugby the way it all leads to what's good for the national team.
