Hi Connor – your explanation is ACCEPTED – and thank you, and yes I agree, the ilk and likes of Clarkey and Kearnsey (jeez do Aussies do that to everyone’s names) cast a bad light on Aussie rugby.
Waratahs vs Hurricanes highlights: Canes win 28-17
oh yes they did win – won 1 game due to shortened RC – crossed the ditch to play the ABs at the Garden of Eden and got whacked BIG TIME…then got whacked again in RWC final and what did they give their marvellous coach – THE COACH OF THE YEAR – WOW how did he do that??

Can anyone tell me why PALU was so rated as a player??? he is rubbish, has been rubbish and the Japanese will pay for rubbish…
Waratahs set to farewell Palu, Dennis

He left because he knew he wouldn’t get very far in the SR teams and/or ABs…and as we all know Aussie take anyone remotely better than the quality of locals players it doesn’t have…
WATCH: Tongan Thor leaves Bird with a bleeding beak
Fellow, Follow, Fullah, Fellau, Follau,,,oh FOLAU….he should go to the NH and learn how to play…the biggest charade playing the game

Well Connor – your prediction was CRAP….but that is Aussie pundits for you…I couldn’t believe the moaning and groaning and whingeing by Kearns on the commentary last night….someone ought to tell him with the phrase UNBIASED OBJECTIVITY means…obviously doesn’t exist in his vocabulary …good win the Canes and what was all the fuss about the oversized Fijian…he was rubbish

Is that all you have to offer muppet….you can be your Tuohys or Fosters that that wont happen again…what last nights game or the weekend games against NZ teams showed is how poor the AUS teams are – a paucity of player depth, one dimensional strategies (eg: Brumbies – lineouts and driving mauls…wow how dynamic), Tahs no better, Reds, shouldn’t even be playing, Rebels, even though they never gave up the sheer skills of the Saders was on display and the Force…well may it be with them…pretty bad and scathing really…

Why has the Australian rugby public not be aware of the paucity of rugby playing stock…? it has been evident for years….and it wont get better
Now and next for the Wallabies
The presence of four superb New Zealand teams has muddied things much more than they usually would have. The Chiefs, Crusaders, Hurricanes and Highlanders all have more competition points than any other teams in the competition besides the Lions, and they have the disadvantage of playing against one another.
this underlines how stupid this current system is…yep the Lions are up there but when the NZ teams cannibalise each other – of course another NON-NZ team will benefit….go figure!!
New Super Rugby format makes for jumbled finals rankings
Its a pity the Sunwolves didn’t beat the Tahs….I was kind of hoping they would…
Brumbies and Waratahs are still in the Super Rugby finals race. Great!
Because of this overall strength, the New Zealand teams are getting to that stage in the tournament where they cannibalise each. – and that Spiro is why this conference system SUCKS BIG TIME….on an open merit basis…it is just a JOKE
Brumbies and Waratahs are still in the Super Rugby finals race. Great!
I think NZers will be wanting Cheika to continue on his merry way – whatever that is – and the BBs will be smite the WBs in the RC because nothing will have changed and there would be no perceivable threat….Cheika-mate
The Wallabies learnt no lessons during their English whitewash
I think over-all SA rugby is stagnant, without vision (particularly from the coach) and most of all caught between old style vs new style with old style winning out thus inculcating old fashioned bash n barge rugby. More SA players will head overseas (the money is way way better and no one should castigate them for doing so), that leaves a vacuum that will get filled with less skilled or even less numbers of players. It is a dire situation that seems to be getting worse, Ireland were 1 try away from winning a series, SA won but there was only a sense of survival at all costs and no positivity – look at what the ABs did to Wales in over-time at Dunedin, they ran for another try by Dagg, would SA have done that, NO.
Lessons learnt from Ireland pushing South Africa to the brink
you forgot the PENALTIES conceded, and with their kicker on song…it was a no brainer, but the other thing – you say the WBs didn’t play bad or ugly or whatever, but you can’t keep banging your head against a brick wall and think you will get somewhere, where was the deft inter-play, the off loads (well I saw a couple) they didn’t bring the full arsenal to the game and England being BIG BAD BLAND blokes just soaked it up, slowed it down and the WBs were lost….ABs wouldn’t fall for that trick, Wales tried it and got flogged. but something is missing, not sure yet what it is, but Cheika is fooling himself if he thinks he can get the WBs back on track and up to speed by BC game time….wont happen – oh and yes I do agree with you about Skelton, a large lump no use except for pushing a scrum, Patrick Tuipulotu is way way more skilful, stronger and would run rings around him…
The good, the bad and the ugly of the third Test: Australia vs England
re ROMANO – he should now be replaced with Patrick Tuipulotu permanently…bigger, younger and much faster and more brutal
All Blacks player ratings against Wales
it seems anyone who thinks of themselves as a knowledgeable rugby commentator/pundit etc….believes England could knock off the ABs or at least challenge them – I agree with the last but not the first – and it is all based on a 3-0 whitewash against an Australian Team that was the complete opposite to the English….I am not sure that England are as good as everyone says they are given Australia were about as bad as a team could get, and a Coach (the best in the world in 2015 as EJ says) who doesn’t know what is FIRST TEAM is…really, the ABs for sure are not the finished product yet but have shown the will definitely get better as time goes on…NZ don’t play the English until 2018 and I am betting that one of the EYOT games will be their demise….so it would be great to keep things in perspective, Aussie on the other hand have problems aplenty…
England whitewash a triumph of unity and consistency
…ex-Wallaby Dan Vickerman who, commenting later on Fox’s ‘Sportsnight’, said that New Zealand were still missing something at 10 post Dan Carter. He also indicated that New Zealand were vulnerable in the Rugby Championships to a Wallabies side prepared to come out and “smash them.” oh dear so now Dan is an expert commentator on FOX – the channel that has muppets who wax lyrical about the WBs and how they will WIN but then look for excuses when they LOSE – he really thinks the WBs are going to smash the ABs…let me remind him of the Garden of Eden whipping last year…thrashed, trampled, dumped, out-played, out-skilled and beaten to a pulp…and guess what, Cheika changed his team from the one that beat the ABs in Sydney…Cheika is looking fragile now and I really don’t think England are as good as they have been made out to look with this series win, AUSTRALIA will just out and out diabolical…take the penalties away and the score would have been different…
The Wrap: Cheika under pressure, cool heads required
I believe that England are becoming a good side…they are not a very very very good side as you say….they looked very very good because the WBs were bloody bad…
Five talking points from the Wallabies vs England third Test
he has proven nothing….x2 RWC Cups, the BC, the RC bar 1 and a win ration that is about as stratospheric as it can get…what has the WORLDS BEST COACH done…got beat twice by Hansen – and you are dumb when you say ‘how would he go if he didn’t have all that fire-power’….NZ is full of fire-power which is diametrically opposite to the paucity of Aussie fire-power….if you want to say something intelligent, then give it some thought!
Don't get too excited about questioning Cheika's appointment
that is why the CONFERENCE structure sucks…it was only done so NZ wouldn’t hog the top of the table and have all the finals played here…what a succour to SA and AUS…SANZAAR need to get their act together and have the SR decided on merit…
