ABs have played many ‘bully’ packs, that includes England and more often SA…but it isn’t brawn that wins games, it is brains and nous….something that appears to be lacking in both AUS and ENGLAND oh and SA

England have done the Wallabies a massive favour

no they are not licking their lips….its something they don’t do…

England have done the Wallabies a massive favour

highly possible and more likely probable

England have done the Wallabies a massive favour

I think Aussie fans hope not….

Five observations from the Wallabies' loss to England

AVZ outstanding analysis…tip my hat to ya…!
I thought the SBs didn’t show much – first half was appalling and only got there in the end through slack defence but the SBs won and so be it. And I agree that Ireland will WIN in Port Elizabeth.
ABs – well depends who Hansen brings into the mix – I think the AB mid-field is still not quite the real deal – may get better with SBW is back – I think George Moala may get a look in lieu of Fekitoa – he is as strong as Malakai but is a real 12 – No.13 may still be Crotty.
I agree the ABs will kill SB’s WBs, Los Pumas and will I am very sure show England that they are not yet there….but they are No.2 but way behind the ABs.
And double YES YES – the WBs are very poor, and England need to keep that in mind….ABs will win handsomely under the roof.

The Wrap: All Blacks improve while England “Rumble in the (sandy) Jungle”

what changes should the WBs make – ummm – let me see – how about this, 23 changes – bring in a new Team , they certainly wont do any worse than the current lot…now the WBs are No.3 in the ranking…

Roar Forum: What changes should the Wallabies make for the third Test?

First and ONLY POINT – WBs are hopeless and England will get better and a good challenge to the ABs…Cheika is a rubbish coach – he is now searching for answers from a team who have none

Nine talking points from the Wallabies vs England second Test

why is this IDIOT slamming the surface of AAMI – didn’t he know what it was like, didn’t he do his research, hasn’t he seen any SR games played there and what happens at scrum time – the man is an IDIOT and he is in charge of Aussie Rugby – God forbid

Pulver slams AAMI Park surface, 2017 Test fixture in doubt

Is Pulver for real, didn’t he see what happened to the field the last time a rugby game was played on the pitch, England will farrow it like a farmer in his field….he is a joke, no wonder Aus Rugby is going no where

Pulver says AAMI Park perfect for Test

all of a sudden you are a psychiatrist Council….lighten up mate – Hansen’s strategy is to pull Savea so he regains the hunger just as he did with Dagg…when you work and turn up to the Office day after day you get stale…in the AB environment that is anathema to what they aspire to….let it go mate

Cutting Savea the right call, now it’s time to give Lowe a go

cant win it all the time

New Zealand surrender World Rugby U20s title

Kingplaymaker – I agree with TWAS Skelton wouldn’t add much, just a heavy lump who cant jump. the only way to improve the scrum is to have them practice, practice, practice, – you have to remember NH teams play scrums and lineouts (and occasionally run) and so are very, very good at it. SH tend to use them as a restart from a knock-on or kick out….SH teams do try and be good at scrums and lineouts and many times succeed but if you are playing teams who predicate their game on those two facets – well move to a rainy climate where it is cold and miserable and practice, practice, practice scrums and lineouts and you will attain the same level of competence as NH sides.

Michael Cheika cracks the second Test Wallaby whip against England

whaaaaat the BEST COACH (now thats a joke) in the world got towelled, but I still expect the WBs to win

Cheika admits Wallabies were "towelled up"

I pick the Aussies to win but then lose the 3rd test – I want Aussie to win because that will stop the English run of games and they will have to restart again…the ABs – well look what a 3rd team of Chiefs did…Savea out, Israel in, Smith on the wing and Waisake on his usual R/wing – I can bet that the ABs rustiness will have gone and you will see a SMOOOOOOTH team execution of every facet of play..

June Internationals tipping Week 2: That shook things up!

Harry – if one was to employ your logic of ‘lose a series on SA soil and get sacked’ – then why doesn’t he sack the team that lost a game on SA soil for the first time to Ireland…cant have it both ways mate!

One Test in, Coetzee is already on the cliff

you have a bet – I WILL MARK YOUR WORDS…

Springbok legacy nearing an end

Mr Kruger take a bow – that was an HONEST assessment and summary of all that is going wrong or is wrong with SB rugby – nothing changes even when they have everything to play for and for some reason can’t deliver. There is so much wrong with the game in SA and politics doesn’t help but then no-one in SA should think it was not ever going to come to that – QUOTAS – but what is even more painfully obvious is how the game there is played (take out the Lions) but every other game I have seen and that includes your Inter-Schools competition akin to NZ’s First XV competition – there is no comparison. Neanderthal at best, pathetic at worst.
Yes the AURA has gone from SA rugby, and so another rugby giant will take it’s place…I wonder who??

Springbok legacy nearing an end

WBs have problems and they are BIG PROBLEMS, there is no issue about attack and scoring tries…it is the other part of the game – D-FENCE…just wasn’t there and no clarity about who should do what and when, I mean the last ENG try was basis 101 stuff….didn’t that guy Fellow, Follow, Fullah with No.15 on his back know where to track to? NOPE he left it to his centre who was way too tired and couldn’t match the new bench legs that just out ran him…101 stuff people…and it wont get any prettier…ENG has the WBs number.

Australia to use World Cup wisdom to rebound

Hansen’s remarks were for the NZ audience – his reference to the five franchise was to the NZ one’s – what is it with people who can’t delineate those nuances…

Rust never sleeps: Can the out-of-form Wallabies win at Melbourne?

right on Spiro….

Rust never sleeps: Can the out-of-form Wallabies win at Melbourne?

England and Wales had a game up there before they came down under….is that too hard for you to understand…. and NO it wasn’t a friendly, friendlies are only played in soccer – of course WBs and ABs would be a touch rusty, but here’s the rub – WBs got out-played and out-kicked – 6 penalties is not going to help you win – ABs didn’t play well in first half but man oh man did they open the throttle in the second half…and deserved their win…

Rust never sleeps: Can the out-of-form Wallabies win at Melbourne?

WOW you got it right there Mania – I will put Tuipolotu in before Romano any day…look what he brought to the game that Romano didn’t do…

All Blacks expect to go with settled side

I see NZ helped out again…

'Rugby is a game, not a trade': Australia's first rugby Test against England

The Reds can always have a LWF beside the field for him….is he being real…??? just retire George, you have done your duty and it is time to stand down…

Smith to play until 40? Reds sign ex-Wallabies captain to two-year deal

still HOPING Harry…what about all the times DC didn’t play and the ABs still dicked the SBs

The All Blacks are half the team they were
