How are the Brumbies going? I still think amalgamation was the key with the Brumbies since they no longer get crowds. Half the home games in Melbourne and half the home games in Canberra would I believe see better crowds. Four pro teams is working well for Ireland. People still peddling this? Kiwis

Richmond station is a 3 minute walk away from AAMI. No shit, I used to get there by tram Sorry, you said there was no direct train station to AAMI unless I’m mistaken? Look, I’ll be happy if the Rebs are saved but there is no way I’ll be going to games on the other side of Melbourne until a train s...

The move to the suburbs is a good idea, let's face it no one actually lives near AAMI stadium plus there's no direct train station. I'd imagine a suburban ground with a train station would attract a bigger following. Plus the added bonus of the much needed cash injection. It's a no brainer. Richmon...

I loved Westerns. Clint Eastwood always put out a decent western.

Toole will be fine. He has crazy speed and is actually pretty solid in contact. He doesn’t shirk the hard work and always goes looking for the ball. Petaia is looking good again but he still spills the ball every now and then for no apparent reason. Needs to carry the pill differently. McReight a v...

CrazyIslander

Toole was on the other wing not being bullied by Grealy, and made a few great defensive plays and prevented what should’ve been a Reds try in the first half… His game has gone up a level this year. On the other hand Petaia was brilliant, Petaia gets the spot. Well, yes… these things are not mutuall...

That game last night was the type of game where he cannot be trusted, historically. He came through that with flying colours. The Brumbies back 3 was excellent last night. What exactly did Toole do that was excellent, other than be bullied by his opposite, who made buku metres all night? Wright is ...

You're right, I don't give a shit but I did think it was a nice effort of a April fools joke.

Wine Wednesday. Even if I don't drink any other day, wine Wednesday breaks the week up a treat. I have met with my friends every Wednesday evening for a few pints down my local for 20 years. It breaks the week up, and also ensures that I keep in touch with my small circle of closest friends. We als...

Tbh I've fallen out of love with alcohol altogether probably because of the hangover which takes a couple days to get over these days. I've drunk a total of three bears since new year. I bought a box of beer for the start of super rugby, haven't touched it. I'm getting old

I normally don't watch it, the aussie KoKo show is better, but here's Guscott and Carling..

Fantastic episode. Loved the first episode Will came in, totally changed my view on him.

CrazyIslander

Both frustrating players. You'd always felt that they're playing within themselves. Guscott perhaps a victim of the game plan and Tuilagi if injuries. Tuilagi did destroy the ABs, but it was last game of the year and ABs are usually sloppy at that time of year. I'd have to pick Guscott coz I reckon ...

IMO Wright and Petaia last night brought hope back for the Wallabies, guys imposing themselves on the game showing they're better than the rest. You need those kinda players at test level.

Oh, stop it.

How’s Gleeson been this year?
Mediocre; although he went alright on Friday imo.

He's not good enough for the Wallabies. Can't get into the game when the team is on the back foot.

CrazyIslander

Lynagh was good but Lolesio steadied the ship, controlled the game then won it. Nailed on starter for Wallabies.

CrazyIslander

In a shit team, Joost is the best option as he could be the focus of the attack itself. If it's an above average team, then Smith is best as his passing gives everyone that extra second or two to beat defenders. FDP is somewhere between the two. Gregan and Faf combative, Gregan best tackler. Dawson,...

CrazyIslander

LRZ's strength is he's quick of the mark and a strong step. He'll be able to get separation. It's just a matter of catching the ball. His height is also an advantage.

CrazyIslander

15 Wright
14 Petaia
13 Flook
12. Perese
11 Marky
10 Lolesio
9. White

CrazyIslander', a calls I've watched the games he isn't exceptional. He's probably the most reliable, consistent player in Wallabies backline and you think Wright is better? Wright that has a history of making dumb mistakes? I'm a fan of his but he's not a very reliable player. Kelleway is not abov...

Vunivalu revelation for Wallabies last year, now bench for Reds.

CrazyIslander

Lynagh has played out of his skin today but I think Lolesio has consolidated his position as the best 10.

Nah, I'd pick Kellaway before anyone else there. Wright maybe on one of the wings.

Kelleway hasn't shown he's better than the rest.

If you watch Flook closely his involvements are usually positive, rarely makes a mistake
