Thanks Nick. Great analysis as usual.
There are never enough Nicks/Nics/Niks in the world eh?
– NW’s performance was palpable from the v start
– Hes not a half-back
– Hes a HALF-FORWARD!
All Blacks only see the red in a Wallabies bolt from the blue
No worries
Disney will probably buy that production company eventually
Michael Cheika is still Mickey Mouse, but Mickey wins a lot
Thanks Brett! Was a good win
I’m not confident about Eden Park, at all. The best I am hoping for is a similar performance. Playing against 15 players in JAFA land is hamburger hill.
Lukhan was all over the shop when the ABs scored their 1st try in 2H. But he delivered v well otherwise I think:
– Especially the Nick White try
– It was his run through the middle over the gainline that sparked it
– His others forwards then overran the AB defenders for Samu, Isi, Marika, White to finish off
If you see the replay closely, you can see why Cane is somewhat upset with his form. He will be determined not to repeat that this weekend
What we know after the Wallabies' stunning Bledisloe 1 win
tbh I need a good deal of reminding myself, MrChook
Im a bit of a Dory (from finding nemo)
Michael Cheika is still Mickey Mouse, but Mickey wins a lot
Haazzaaaaaaa! Yes, they are a bunch of characters:
– Two dimensional in many cases
– sometimes unpredictable!
Who is Brad Thorn, Danny Mac, Wessels? And Gibbo? And which character should replace him
Michael Cheika is still Mickey Mouse, but Mickey wins a lot
But MrChook
Didnt you say the other day were a bunch of jokers? 😉
Michael Cheika is still Mickey Mouse, but Mickey wins a lot
Looking forward, especially with optimism, is always the best medicine GP 🙂
The Wrap: Resurgent Wallabies place one hand on the Bledisloe Cup
Thanks GP!
Unfortunately, history shows:
– tracking Rugby in Australia with WB win is fools gold
– eg A test loss will bring back calls for Izzy and co
– grassroots is still a mess. Along with impending SR income issues
– And ongoing legal issues. Departing players many of which played last weekend
– McArthur was sacked, ironically for the 1950s version of a political tweet
But none of that matters right now, as I along with millions of Aussies will BIRG! Until this weekend haha

…and Bokke #1 in SH!
You’re welcome! haha
Wallabies beat All Blacks after dominant second half in Bledisloe 1
Im ok if they dont make finals, GP
As long as they play well 🙂
The Wrap: The Rebels prove there is no short-cut to Super Rugby success
Thanks GP. A v good read
I think it’s mostly about the coach:
– This year his tactics were predictable
– too aggressive (thus unrealistic) for the personnel he has on hand
– leading to poor execution
To your point, the lack of knowledge and guidance:
– of this management and board may have created this situation and
– continued to exacerbate this as the year continued
Having said that:
– Baden Stephenson seems to be a solid operator
– Rebs played better than last year
– Let’s see next year. It may be make or break for Wessels and Baden S

Yes! It was better poo.
A win, signs of improvement, but still plenty of questions for the Wallabies
Izzy would agree.
Thank goodness for referees and ball boys, ball girls
A win, signs of improvement, but still plenty of questions for the Wallabies
Thanks BeeMc. But it was a win!
We were poo. Pumas were poo-ier. Hope both improve, much more
A win, signs of improvement, but still plenty of questions for the Wallabies
Thanks GP:
– I think G1 was an awesome contest. Both teams ready for World War Rugby
– G2 was a poor comparison. Neither team a major cause of concern in Japan, so far
The Wrap: So who’s a happy coach then?
Thanks gents!
I think SB will do much better than expected.
Pumas v good, their back row much better. Backs too, now I think about it too except Samu.
The Rugby Championship Week 2: Up on blocks
Some Josephs are visionaries, there is even one who is a prophet. Some are just crap
Springbok 'learnings' from Ellis Park
Hes fast. But he also has to be strong (comparatively):
– Will be useful against some teams.
– But may be crap against others.
History has shown that. But who cares about history right? Not the average Joe ostensibly

Thanks Hhhazaaaa@@aaaAAAAaaa@@@aAA!!!!
I think if Rassie can play more like the Argies in the BD. They will win World War Rugby
Springbok 'learnings' from Ellis Park
We was wobbed, Bwet!! Wallabies will win when the Wef whets his whistle well.
Address the structures rather than attack the scapegoats
Cheers mate. That’s what I called him 15+ minutes into the game. Ask Hazzaaaaaa! and GP.
