Also said you were deserved winners. And scored a cracking winning try.

Neither of these statements are false as far as i can tell.

Do i need to cyber fellate you as well?

Re Oz...Our ranking should be 7 or 8 at the moment. My pre match prediction was clearly way off

Thanks for the offer but my load has already bolted watching the YouTube highlights once again.

You always that quick.....poor girlfriend

7th or 8th?
I am happy with NZ, England and Ireland ahead of us. We are about even with Scotland. We are better than Wales, SA, France, Argies and Italy.
I reckon 4th is about right. Worst case 5th.

Farva,


I admire your optimism. We are standing still, or going backwards, as a team. Others are improving.

The outlook is bearish, I have to admit.

I'm really not too keen on this new breakdown policy. The majority of breakdowns in that test were contested by one other player besides the ball carrier or tackler from the Wallabies?? Stats courtesy of FF over at G&G.

Part of defensive strategy?

Under 20s just beat the Aussies too...

Was just explaining the * m8.

Best of luck to Aussie rugby, enjoy winning games vs you guys now but the decline is tough to watch - always liked the Wallabies.

The pro game is not doing well.
Having said that we are 4th or maybe 5th best team in the world. Which teams push ahead of us to make that not true?
I want us to be 1st or 2nd.

You had a good win yesterday.

Don't get ahead of yourself though champ. We might be having a rough trot at the moment. On the plus side i have seen my rugby team win a couplw of world cups and beat the All Blacks.


I've got that at least i guess.

Since we are bringing up the 2015 world cup. Poor decision really. Should have been a scrum feed to Aus.
Im still confident we would have got forward and either slotted a drop goal orwon another penalty.
I dont think Scotland would have won regardless.
So not really an asterisk.
Won fairly and squarely yesterday mind. Although I am confident we would win of we have a second test.

A long time ago now though unfortunately, it's not really getting ahead of myself. The Aus under20s don't seem to do all that much and the stories you see about money problems and participation is tough to read. Rugby is stronger with a good Wallaby side and I just hope you guys can turn this around.

This thread turned quickly after the warm cyber hugs between Kiap and Lorthen Nights yesterday.

At the amateur level the game is going from strength to strength. Shute shueld games are getting close to Super rugby crowd levels.
Its the pro game that is in trouble.

Er we beat the ABs in 2015. Made a RWC final in 2015.

Long time ago

A long time ago is "never". You would be more familiar with that i imagine

Form is temporary class is permanent. We will be fine mate. Appreciate your concern but not necessary

Wamberal is an eternal pessimist. Save your breath

We are definitely in a rebuilding phase. There was 1 forward in our starting pack yesterday who also started in the 2015 RWC final.
It all comes back to the forwards and this current pack has a long way to go.
The RC may get really ugly for us but hopefully we come out the other side on an upward trajectory leading towards 2019.

The coaching is also a big part of it and what worked for Cheika in 2014 at the Tahs and in 2015 with the Wobs is not working now. Is he a good enough coach to come to terms with that and take the current bunch down a different path?

Time will tell.

Reckon we cpuld build a pack around Coleman, Arnold and Hooper. Dempsey will get there at 6 and Hardwick will be another long term option. Up forward TPN is back with his yips to the lineout but is yuge in the scrum. He is a better option than Moore. And Latu is fine. Other than Kepu who is world class our props are young and by 2019 will be right. We just need to find an 8.
In the backs Foley is vital. Genia shouldnt be starting. We should have seen what Powell and Gordon could do, and maybe given Conroy a ahot.
Our back three are fine, but Id love to see what Koribiete can do. And we need to tell the guys to hold on to the ball, nostipid chip kicks.

I reckon it will be Pocock at 8 next year and in 2019. So we need a decent back-up and a couple of good lineout jumping 6s

Pocock definitely starting somewhere... because... rugby?

Arnold isn't ready for international rugby I think thats why Chrika has been persisting with Carter. It's better to let Arnold develop before guaranteeing a regular spot otherwise he'll never learn.

Yes seems exactly the same sort of errors made as per the seniors game yesterday so the dumbness permeates right down the chain.

Took a little poetic license but qerent there over 10k at the shute shield final last yeat.
And the ArU report has player numbers up year on year. Sure who they measure isnt necessarily who we would sy is a rugby player but that is the same measure year on year.

Not sure about the crowds but the tv figures for the shute shuwld match of the day as up there with soup tv numbers

Agreed, looked like they couldn't be bothered contesting any breakdowns. Consequently, never looked like winning any.

Care to elaborate on that?

What didn't work?

Pocock was our best performing backrower... and the stats without him speak for themselves.

And who else would you suggest?

Not even close.

Try awarded after TMO review. Aussie flanker grabbed a hold of Scottish flanker at scrum who then grabbed him back which prevented Aussie flanker from tackling Scottish scrum half running through the gap.

Ref in explaining his decision saw that Aussie flanker had held on first and that it didn't impact the player making the tackle and awarded the try.

OK, which one of you guys is this?

Hope they do actually give him his 15 minutes in front of the team, sounds like he could make good use of his time.

Yeah, nah.

I do like his points around inability to perform basic skills. the rest is a load of tosh.

He is a wannabee pundit. (Has a degree in journalism). This is basically his futile attempt to get a"name" for himself.
