Apart from his frequent 10 minute sit-downs, he’s nearly perfect.

I wish both sides could win this.
Blues because they deserve a win, ‘Canes so they win the conference.

Very true.

Foley is a Tah’s player I respect.

Tahs #12 having a great game. Cory Jane…not so much.

‘Tahs do have previous form for getting over-vigorous when badly behind.

Canes better not let the easy tries go to their heads.

Three tries in under 12 minutes.
Going to be a long game for the ‘Tahs.

yep, waiting for the Tah fans to start booing their own side again.

It’s the showcase match for Australian rugby this weekend. Primetime TV, in the biggest city, and look at the stands…

I think you left your tin foil hat behind at the clinic.

Rogue Cheika tarnishes the Wallabies once again

So no rugby player swerves into a gap or around a defender?

Rogue Cheika tarnishes the Wallabies once again

Hear hear!!

The toilet circus has me outraged

The Wallabies biggest problem is they play the All Blacks more often than most international teams.

Unbeaten in September! And other associated hyperbole

Since Saturday night I have expected Wallaby fans to declare the corner has been turned, the problems are behind the team, and bring on the end-of-year tour because the WB played in the World Cup final last November.

Beware any Health NGO that says their policy demands are based on science when they have a name like the Sport Collision Injury Collective. Or uses Alliance, People’ Collective, Action Alliance, or Public Interest.

Regrettably, public health academics’ ‘research’ is driven by the underlying advocacy goals of getting whatever banned. it usually doesn’t stand up to critical scrutiny by people outside the public health movement.

Calls to ban rugby tackling in UK schools

I think the Wallabies have to look out for this Argentinian team. Argentinians look better than the Wallabies did in their last two games.

It’s a bit defeatist, and not nearly justified.

Harking back to glory days is pointless. There are Southerners in the US who still mutter that “The South shall rise again” and the last WW2 Japanese soldier held out fighting the war until 1972. Australian Rugby is not in that dire.

The biggest problem for the Wallabies and the ARU is that you play the All Blacks more than any other team, and this particular AB team is one of the greatest.

Time to remember the great Wallaby sides

Ouch!

yeah, I’m picking David Lord as well.

BLACKS BUGGED! Listening device found in All Blacks hotel

What tactics to expect from the Wallabies this test is my question?

Cheika could have used the extra long training period to introduce the 60m rolling maul, and go one better on the ‘Pooper’ used last year and have three loose forwards into every breakdown.

For the backs I’d expect the doubled-up, behind the back pop-pass using Foley to Giteau to AAC to Folau in a four-way switching play that will bamboozle the ABs. 🙂

The talking points: Bledisloe 1

I hope you are correct re Fekitoa.

David Lord has gained the ability to see deep into men’s souls.

He can tell, at great distance and without a word being spoken, what people truly feel.

Steve Hansen's still dirty he wasn't named World Rugby Coach of the Year
