and yet no side has ever gone backwards under his stewardship…

Word in Canberra rugby is that he is the ultimate straight shooter. If the Sharks don’t like being held to high standards then they are welcome to their results next year.

They could take it out of Pulver’s salary…

Actually losing to Australia, New Zealand or South Africa has no negative effect on Argentina’s ranking.

Losing to Ireland and Scotland at home does.

If Pulver has any sense he would fly to Jake White immediately, kiss his feet, hand him a contract and ask him to write any amount he sees fit.

A lot of teams have nearly beaten a lot of teams.

The reality is we are talking about a team who are ranked below Fiji, Japan, Samoa and Scotland.

We aren’t talking about a the Wallabies being world class, we are talking about their ability to beat Argentina.

Exhibit A: Ewen McKenzie.

Yup, England go up one to 3. Australia down one to 4.

Argentina go up two to 10. Japan go down one to 11 and Fiji down one to 12.

It doesn’t, but Super Rugby failure is even worse.

There is absolutely no basis for the claim that the depth of talent was not there.

Come off it.

Australia had three teams in the Top 8 of Super rugby and have just lost to Argentina.

South Africa had one and have just beaten New Zealand.

I think McKenzie needs to take a huge amount of responsibility for this.

I hear there is a bloke in South Africa who needs a coaching job…

George Clancy was the difference.

Kurtley Beale the difference as McKenzie finally gets his selections right

“George Clancy” trending on Twitter.

Some appalling calls in both 4N games tonight.

NH referees have no place in a SH competition.

I believe he has been named at wing for the Vikings this weekend.

Well you can tell that the the hardcore fans such as you, me and other Roarers, but the ARU needs to realise that sort of view does nothing for expanding the game.

If a Rugby game is played and no-one can see it, was it played at all?

Been to both Vikings games so far, but unless a Commonwealth Gold Travel Pass arrives in the mail I’m going to struggle to travel more than 300km to watch a club rugby game!

It never has been.

Look at the winning teams from 1991 and 1999. Sydney products are few and far between.

Queensland, Country NSW and ACT have always been the engine behind Australian rugby.

It hasn’t… except for yesterday (ie: when the game was on) which was a belter.

They would be the teams to watch… if we could.

Says a lot about Sydney rugby. That’s one in every 4,500 Sydneysiders.

Equivalent to 77 people turning up to a Vikings game in Canberra (or 231 allowing for Sydney having 3 teams).

and they will continue to be asked until we get the desired response!

The ARU has dropped the ball badly on this one.

Obviously.

The ARU needs to realise that if people can’t watch the game they can’t follow it. I’m not just talking about NRC.

He did play pretty well as I remember.

To the best of my knowledge a lack of game time is not a contributing factor with knee injuries. Physical fitness has nothing to do with joints.

I still don’t understand how they are planning on getting un-delayed pictures to his house.

Unless they broadcast it to him in analogue or increase the delay to the rest of us.

Stay with cricket forever Richie, from the comfort of your home

Considering how injury prone he is – I’d doubt it.

Nothing worse for the Brumbies than having Pocock out for 2015 because of an NRC match!
