I remember watching the 01 series with a mate in a pub in town and when the Wobs made yet another comeback with that Kefu try and his comment was "How the f*ck do they keep doing it?". It seemed like the Bled was so close yet so far... Kinda funny now you consider it was just a 5 year reign given t...

Tate has been the biggest loss this year. His ability to turn games in the last 25 mins is unmatched. The step down from White/Tate to Gordon/Lonergan is massive. The Wallabies have not recovered from it and don't look like they will. 10 is far less of an issue IMO. JAS is fine in the centres for n...

Thanks for that DD. On seeing the word flid I just accidentally spat flob all down my chin. It's losing its traction these days. Aus look like they're coming to play. Had to google the meaning of flid and flob. We certainly have some flids in the Wobs squad, but hopefully less playing this weekend,...

If the Wobs lose by less than 20 it's a moral victory.

Assuming this is now the match thread? JOC and Lenny in for the Wobs. 1. Angus Bell (48 Tests) - #940; Hunters Hill Rugby Club 2. Matt Faessler (16 Tests) - #969; USQ Saints 3. Allan Alaalatoa (86 Tests) - #896; West Harbour Juniors 4. Jeremy Williams (23 Tests) – #973; Wahroonga Tigers 5. Tom Hoope...

Tucked arm? Tick.
No grasp? Tick.
No wrap? Tick.

Few years ago now, but as I recall the most illegal thing about that tackle was Mapimpi jumping into it. Very dangerous, lucky Marika wasn't knocked out.

80s or 90s. Both decades were pretty good times for Reds and Wallabies. All been pretty meh since then, aside from the occasional false dawn to get the long suffering supporters hopes up.

Forgot about JOC.
So,
1. Lynagh
2. JOC
3. Lolesio
4. Donaldson
5. Edmed.

Edmed is 5th best of an ordinary bunch tbh.

You also forgot Gordon SMH saying he will start at 10 against the Italians

Rubbish, rubbish, rubbish… Harry Potter had a decent game but the rest was crap. Our worst performance for a while. Edmed is not test standard. We were static across the park in attack and clueless defensively. It’s going to be up to Kiss to reshape us for the RWC. Schmitty has one foot out the doo...

I've seen some much more recent interviews with Ace, still had that same crazy laugh.

Reds now have 4 good/decent flyhalves, 3 good inside centres, one good winger and bugger all at fullback. Campbell is serviceable super rugby fullback. HMP and Volavola can play there too. I’m a reds’ fan and would immediately swap him for the back/up fullback at any of the other Oz SR teams. At hi...

I think they all looked a bit off. Long set of games. One too many for our boys. The Kiwis just had France H to contend with. Nobody has stood up at 10. For all the shit Noah got hung on him, he was comfortably better than the performances we've seen out of Lynagh, Tane and JOC. Bring back Carter a...

You seem emotional, are you still on a grand final celebratory bender like you're a Johns brother in 1997? I wish!

Don't mind the idea of RC every 4 years.

In between, we still need to play the AB's every year for the Bled, one off tests, winner take all. Might have a chance of finally getting it back!

Great game, not sure how the Broncs managed to pull it off, but very happy the Panthers and Cleary are gone for the year.

Not a great first half from the Broncs. Too many errors and stupid penalties. No way you can compete with the Panthers with that many fvck ups.

Nic White officially retires... again. It looks like Gordon will be back starting. I think they missed an opportunity not bringing in a new 9 against the Pumas.

Wallabies have been dreadful competing for the high ball all year. The only upside is that from what I've seen the ABs have been fairly dire as well so maybe we can do better against them. Massive worry though. Is it too late to recall Izzy? Just abandon the tactic all together unless it's Suaalii ...

If the concussion concern was a false alarm, stick with Lynagh. He hasn't been great, but not terrible either. Saturday was his first game back after what, 5 weeks or so? Should be better this week.

Super Rugby AU is a 3 round competition - do you believe that this should be the third tier? 3 rounds isn't enough for any tier. Yep. This is a stop gap to get more miles on the tires, but its a start. Not sure why they wouldn't have made it a 6 round home and away comp. $$$ I suppose.

Good to get AAA back but Nonggorr has been going well. Same with Slipper and Robertson. Maybe start with the old blokes and bring Bell and TT on early in the second?

Should be a tough couple of games for the Wobs. Sometimes the Argies don't travel too well, but they should be able to put together at least 1 good performance.
