Are you implying,NTA, that it is rare that you can catch up with friends?<br>
As a fan lows come with the territory and in fact improve it. Just as long as not too low!!<br>
You may enjoy Kearns on scrummaging in second half. He's got his own personal overhead camera screen.</p></blockquote>
<br>
Half a screen ... the other half is wasted as he never looks st thst side ... -

Thought Cane warmed into the game, the motor on him is almost as good as Richie. Made some great carries too. <br><br></p></blockquote>
Fox guys made comparisons with Sir Richard when he was walking off. Kind of looked a bit like Richie then too... -

What are you? A looseforward?<br><br>
Fuck we got a tighthead ... instant orgasm</p></blockquote>
Bit of a dodgy tighthead with Cane hooking in the tunnel - but it was a shambles of a scrum from Australia. -
Fuck. Usually you can point out a a weakness or two in a game and yell for a change of personnel or coaching staff. Not this time. Only watched the first half and I am almost sure my club side today could have given a better run for their money. <br><br>
There is absolutely nothing to lose from now on, so I would suggest maybe bringing those young guns, Hodge, Kerevi and Timani in to the 23 and dropping either of the hobbits from the back row to get some size in the side.<br><br>
Who was the fucker who predicted the Wobs would win? :hi: :embarrassed: -

<p>Great to see Read the psycho back again.<br><br>
Congrats Hames, put in a good shift too.<br><br>
Thought Cane warmed into the game, the motor on him is almost as good as Richie. Made some great carries too.<br><br>
Dagg had a poor game for him, seemed just one of those days when things would just go wrong.<br><br>
Thought Fekitoa was MUCH better. His defence was exceptional, made a few errors with the ball as usual but also handled it a lot more I thought and made a lot more good decisions than usual. Showed quite a few nice touches I thought, in a few scoring movements.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Good summary of Fekitoa and in general.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not necessarily a Fekitoa fan but tonight he did the business and the reason Kuridrani was shite was because the pressure place on him by Fekitoa .... and others. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Aussies were awful. When I saw the pack that they named their was nothing to fear. It had no resemblance to the packs that the Tahs have put up recently that had a bit of bash to them. Why is Simmons still being selected? Surely one of those Brumbies locks could produce more. I would put in Skelton for 40 just for a bit of mongrel and mass. Their back three were dominated and we cleaned then out before they had a sniff at a turnover. The 2 7's experiment is a bust. They need a real 6 in place to add some physicality. Possibly time to start rebuilding for the future because there is little future in the players they have.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Unless the Boks can give us a game I think the rugby championship is going to be a yawn. </p> -

<p>Is he injured or something? He's not the most loved player on here but at he'll get stuck in and smash some bodies around (legally and illegally).</p> -

<p>Hilarity. Me favourite part was the rugby we played straight after halftime. We didn't score, but it looked like we were playing a club side we were that dominant.<br><br>
Aus were shit, hampered by injury, passive, and the imports added nothing. Their vaunted flankers are shit as well. What the fuck do the do next week? Quade and Palu? They've got fuck all.<br><br>
Us not perfect. Dagg and fekitoa carried on their form of the last month. Subs didn't have their usual impact, and we let that rabble score.<br><br>
I love rugby today</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Subs didn't have their usual impact, because the one sub that has the big impact, started. Wondering if Barrett played the whole game at #10 (with Crotty at 12) - and he continued in the way he started would we be thinking of his performance in the same realm as DC circa 2005? admittedly against a shitter opposition last night - but that was a great first 40min...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Got a bit ragged in the 2nd stanza. Surprised Ardie didn't come on earlier... but Cane was awesome so that is what it is.</p> -

Sorry. Hooking in the tunnel? Where else you supposed to hook? -

<p>Flanker's can't play the ball in the tunnel. Should have been a FK to Australia. Still, if the team putting the ball in doesn't hook the ball they deserve to lose it. </p> -
The only negative for me , I'm concerned for the state of international rugby if this starts becoming the norm, we play them more than anyone . <br><br>
its funny , I remember back in the late 90s early 2000s and I was wanting the old days to return when we used to beat them with ease. . <br><br>
Careful what you wish for . -

Aah. Right you are. I read that as Coles ... starts with C.
