1. Proud Waratahs supporter and have backed them to take out the Super15 in 2014. 2. Most memorable moment at a match was when Lote Tiqiri managed to kick a penalty goal from halfway.

Toomua wasn’t outstanding but his combination with Lealiaphano was excellent and he was quite good in defence shutting down what looked like probable tries

You can’t back up your argument with “expert advice” and I use that term very lightly from the Rugby HQ team.
Lack of Plan B for Brumbies shows Ewen was right choice
With reference to your question about the winners of rugby world cups, you couldn’t be more wrong. There have been 7 RWC with 4 winners, now compare that to football which has 8 winners out of 19 world cups. Rugby sees more competitive based off this don’t you think?
What a miserable weekend for Australian sport
Morohan? Deans already tried that and it failed
The three amigos must shape up or ship out under McKenzie
In what way have the Tahs been slow this year. May I remind you that they have scored the most tries in the competition and nearly top all the attacking stats

You aren’t seriously comparing Carter to Cooper

Picking your 'First V' for the Wallabies
How are people complaining over Cooper’s non selection. He hasn’t played well in a Wallaby jersey for the last two seasons. Superrugby isn’t international and even then he hasn’t been in great form. Do Reds fans even know how lacking of tries they have been this season. He has played well only when the forwards are dominating.
SPIRO's Lions Diary: Deans goes for experience, plus Folau
I believe Cooper will always be that player who comes off the bench to win the game and people will think he should be in the side. For me it is the same situation with Scott Higginbotham. A great impact player off the bench but not so affective as a starting player. You just get the feeling Cooper will lose us the series with a crucial error. My main reasoning for picking O’Connor at 10 is his defence which will be our weakness if Cooper is picked to start.
Wallaby backline options
Fiangaa should never have gotten a Wallaby jersey in the first place. He won’t even make the squad IMO
Wallaby backline options
Which backs do you not agree with. Let me guess, Pat McCabe and James O’Connor because they aren’t the best attacking players
Wallaby backline options
I have to disagree with your comme t about JOC being the worst flyhalf in the Aussie conference. Ever since they moved him to 10 they have scored over25 points every game.
Wallaby backline options
My reasoning for playing Folau on the wing is that a kicker is needed in the back 3. It wasn’t so much that I was making room for Mogg but more so making room for a kicker whether it be Mogg, Barnes or Beale (which is highly unlikely now)
Wallaby backline options
Whether we play O’connor or Cooper at flyhalf we are going to need a great defender because otherwise the massive British Irish Lions centers will smash us through the inside channel
Wallaby backline options
Sweet I might try and do one in the next few weeks

I’m not too sure what the solution for this one will end up being. While I think it is important for Argentina to be apart of Superrugby it should not be at the expense of South African teams not playing Aus and NZ teams. I think the old super rugby format should be brought back into play where everyone plays each other once. Without conferences South Africa will be able to have their sixth team and Australia and New Zealand won’t have to put up a new team.
I think Argentina shouldn’t be apart of Superrugby but apart of a competition with the US and Canada. These two countries are growing in rugby and it would be a great competition to grow the international teams swell.
Super Rugby future going back to roots is good news
