RA- I was a little dire but ur comment somewhat puts it in prospective. Like Gatland pointed out, us Aussies expect the best from our athletes and we have been spoiled with great athletes across the sporting board.

We finally see how the likes of Mccaw, Carter, and the backline perform when there forwards are dominated just like the Wlbys backline often face.
England end All Blacks' unbeaten run
Im pretty sure Aus go to no2 after beating Wales. Could wrong though.
England end All Blacks' unbeaten run
They can beat the AB, but it seriously doubt they will. One Pom or the other usually talk up there chances against the big three which is fine. Sam Tomkins from the Eng League team (played 4 batbarians last year) after flogging NZ said they were gonna beat the Kangaroos in the final. Locky ended up making a mockery out of him exposing his weaknesses n schooling him on how to take a spiral bomb lol. He ended up the worst on the field.

Well as you have noticed im pretty new to rugby as a Leaguie all my life. Watching Harris at full back didnt fit.the description of a second no10 but watching Barnes there does. I always thought the No13 was traditionally a second play maker which is why i thought JOC would.have suited it.
Wallabies hold off Italy for 22-19 win
Auskiwi- Im also a huge fan of Beale n i was hoping for a really good EOYT which just hasnt happened apart from a few glimpses in Twickers. I really think he will really open up defenses when he has a real halfback (Genia) to pair with. Genia will know when to unleash him and the backs. Hwwe really struggles with that dope Phipps, he is too busy jumping to catch those above head passes Phipps throws i which really stalls our attack and gives time for the defense to get in Beales or his runners faces, i wont even go into Phipps passes to Beales feet lol. So i recon with Genia to linp with and JOC outside of Beale will make a mountain of difference.

Without injuries to others, where do u think he is best suited? id go Genia, Beale, Ione, Taps, JOC, Cummins, AAC. Barnes on bench.

Im really starting to believe these poor performances are a result of a spite attack on Deans by the players to speed up the sacking of Deans.
Wallabies hold off Italy for 22-19 win
Barnes has been solid at FB and is really safe.under the high ball and love how he chimes in as a second no10. I have always thought AAC is best suited to FB, he is the most consistant Wlby and his footwork, pace and willingness to take on the line can maka real potent counter attacker and his defense is the beat in our backline. He is doing well at 13 aswell and.he has really tighte ned up our defense out wide. Srry about Grammar as im using crap galaxy mobile
Wallabies hold off Italy for 22-19 win
Barnes has been doing well at fullback and is safe.as houses under the high ball, and it puts the defense in two minds with play makers but i have always thought AAC is perfect at fullback. He is the most consistant player in the Wallabies and has the footwork and speed for a dangerous counter attacks and his defense is the best.in our backline which is obviously very.important as Fb.

Pumped about Sheehan getying his starting XV spot. Now Beale doesnt need to worry about catching passes to his feet.

There would be no Origin if not for NSW, dont make out QLD had the bigger hand in creating it. If not for NSW League in Qld would of probably died in the 80’s and no Origin. Dont forget we help create Origin to help Qld and prevent them going broke, and the thanks we get is “rats n scum” grow up.
Queensland not blue-ing over Origin games
Clinno- get over yourself, integrity over money is absolute utter rubbish. In case u didnt know, rugby has gone pro. Its a business not a Church and forget bums on seats, it needs eyes on tv to generate cash from tv deals to help grow the game. If the ARU shared ur opinion, Rugby will suffer a swift death in Aus.
Quade Cooper no loss to Australian rugby
Red k – “best of both worlds” lmao Nek Minnit, boxing in Aus n NZ fetch a 1billion dollar tv deal lol.
Quade Cooper no loss to Australian rugby
I predict Wales is gonna be extremely hard to beat more so than Eng despite there recent losses. Its almost like the Wallabies situation where they found themselves backed against a wall then put up performances like Bledisloe 3 n last nights game.
Wallabies can savour win after sneaking past England
KPM – Your totally right when u say a player cant be judged on the bench which is why i am so keen to see how he gets on with more minutes on the field.
Wallabies can savour win after sneaking past England
For me the main stand out is his energy and his abilitity to contest at the break down. Plus i like to see more young forwards blooded for 2015 wc which Hooper and Gill are the 2 i think we should start with.
Wallabies can savour win after sneaking past England
I really dislike Eng, but you gotta applaude them for having a crack and backing themselves to score tries despite the decision not giving returns. It really goes against the traditional English style and i think they might be following Wales lead in adopting a SH attacking brand of Rugby which has been so successful for Wales in the 6 nations.
Wallabies can savour win after sneaking past England
I agree with you, but i cant see how Pocock can do any worst than Dennis at 6 apart from a lineout option. I dont know why Gill wont be given a chance, cause i can see him as a revelation like Hooper.

Robinson was very.important at scrum time, so deserved his spot.
My 3 worst – 1. TPN 2. Phipps 3. Timani
Sharp gave away silly penalties in the last 20min, Digby was poor(expected after injury). Phipps killed us when attacking there line with silly passes to plyers feets andextreme slow to the breakdown close to fEng line when we had Eng on the back foot. Though scored assisted a try, he also squandered potenial tries.
My 3 fav – 1. Hooper 2. Cummins 3. Taps
I thought Alexander was the difference in our scrum this week and when Kepu came on Poite kept a really close eye on him lol. I thought Beale had a cracker apart from his territory kicks in last 20min. Finally a centre who can make breaks by ball skills and footwork in Taps.

How bad were those territory kicks in the last 20? absolute brain dead stuff but he win and those genius chip kicks more than make up for it. Long time since i have seen a Wallaby centre play like Taps. Phipps not as bad as last week but still hopeless.

There is a huge missing link between the forwards and backs.thanks to the dopey inclusion of.Phipps. Even if our forwards dominate and create quick ball as a platform for the backs, we have Phippa there to throw mindless passes and incorrect decisions on whento use the backline. arrgggghhhh so fustrating.
Wallabies face crunch time against English
Johnno agreed, however we all wrote our boys off leading upto Langpark, yet the found a way to halt the AB streak. I have a feeling we are gonna see alot of attacking, running Rugby tonight which could be indicated by Deans backline selection and the dropping of Aussie.Mike to the bench.
Wallabies face crunch time against English
The Warriors situation proves that coaches play a huge if not the most important role of how a.team psrforms. They made it to.the grandfinal under Cleary.then the very next year under Mc Clennan not far from taking the wooden spoon.
Are coaches to blame for shortcomings?
I think all this criticism of Beale is unfair. He is really lacking a no9 that can help straighten the attack with front foot ball which Genia is awesome at. Beale lateral attack would come off if he had runners hitting lines ready to take Beakes flat passes. I think this style of attack is beyter suited to a No9 which Genia always provrs and used it to score a try n set up the winning try in last years trination final. I noticed his game against SA n the Argies was a more straight style attack n changed it to lateral in the eoyt. I wonder if the change was instructed by Deans.
