Roses are red, and I'm pretty curious, but I won't sneak up, on Oscar Pistorius

Best of luck to the young fella – I hope for Australian rugby that his talent is well managed and he can be part of a new Wallabies forward pack along side Sio, Arnold, Hooper etc.

I’m never confident of blooding players this young on the biggest stage, but that doesn’t mean it won’t pay dividends.

Get’m and give the Perth crowd something to cheer for!

Thanks mate, something I have wanted to organise for a while and I couldnt think of a better group of guys to do it with… except for digger, I won’t forget that you stole all of my picks

The Roar all-time World XV draft: Part 4 - The great debate

gutted

The Roar all time World XV Draft - The backlines

My strategy is paying off

The Roar all time World XV Draft - The backlines

YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!! Clearly the superior team. Any forward pack that is anchored by a guy nicknamed ‘the fun bus’ is clearly superior.

biltong got all of my picks – sitting behind him in the draft order was like having a child ripped away from you. I mean that literally as a 24yr old with no children.

probably off trying to do a draft of their own.

No worries chuck, ive been a bit absent from this thread. I used to intern at The Roar… so you might not know me but I certainly know you.

Haha, just kidding.

Yes, but the process is in reverse. Toulon apparently doesn’t have to operate with the same integrity as the NRL as an administrative body.

Toulon showing bad attitude in battle for Quade Cooper

I hope Quade has an understanding of contract law and specific performance. While what Toulon’s owner isnt acting ethically he is more than entitled to demand Quade play rather than seek compensation for his absence.

No idea why the ARU would want to get involved – Quade has been detrimental and costly for a long time and a French millionaire with more money than sense won’t mind having a crack at the ARU if it means getting to keep an other star player.

Let’s hope Quade hasn’t signed anything or else he is in trouble and I can’t imagine that Nasser will get him out of this one.

Anyone else get the feeling that if the Wallabies turn up this test is going to be epic?

All Blacks name team to play Wallabies: Milner-Skudder to debut

I agree Biltong, looks like your Boks have strong, young players in key positions coming through – can only bode well for the future.

its easy to be overly tough on him having to fill the shoes of DC in an incredibly atmospheric test. Hansen wanted to test him under pressure and he did well – most would have buckled

looks like Sopoaga is the real deal

Thanks Harry, just saw that Genia might be out for a few weeks as well.

Any news on the injury front for both sides?

[VIDEO] Wallabies vs Springboks highlights: Rugby Championship results, scores, blog

There were a lot of questions coming into this game re:Wallabies selections and I am not sure that that game answered a lot of them – most of all, what is the best back row combination? Is Skelton up to it? What to do with Quade (did anyone else notice that behind the back flickpass at 41 mins?? suicide)

Irrespective good and gutsy win for the Wallabies that the team (and the fans really needed). Despite what everyone else is saying about Hooper he was my MotM.

Cleveland for the Finals win. Lebron as been unreal in the last two series and is going to be very hard to stop. If somebody (Delly?!?!?) can slow Curry I think it is theirs.

nb. Slow Curry… if that is possible

That was ridiculous by Joubert, I hope SANZAR does something about that performance.
