Pretty fair overall...

I thought it looked like a knock on.

Have seen tries like that get awarded before though.

Funny how the media is going on about all blacks giving away penalties in their 22 to often. Even though the wallabies did it more that game.
 
I got the eels to win by 11-14@ $14. Just put $5.00. They are up by 6 with 22 mins to go.

Back from the overseas trip and ready to see this guy smash it this weekend - keen to see what Francis Saili can do in the Black Jersey.

Good to see Cummins back in the Wallaby gold for the test this week! Should be a good game vs the Springboks this weekend.
Quade Cooper to 10 as well. I think its a good move. He's the best 10 we have. Toomua will get his chance...

I think considering he has now signed a long/ish term contract they can now start to develop him into a long term prospect for the full back position - good move putting him there and good move not putting him there straight away without signing a contract.

Agree with you there...

There was a talk of JOC being moved to Full back.. but I think Izzy is the better option, I hope JOC gets back to the form that got him where he is now.. not the form of the last 12 months.

JOC needs to be kept on the wing - he needs to be developed as a player - he did/does have natural talent but because of the chopping and changing/lac of development in one position he is really a wasted talent...to be honest the Wallabies wouldnt really miss anything if he was there or not.

As long as he can stay on his wing in defense & trust his inside man!!!

He was defending like a league winger, coming in everytime! lol

Wallabies 1-12
 
Bunnies were off - but honestly its prob not a bad game for them to drop - this will give them some fire coming into the finals - I do think it was due to a poorer efftort than normal from their forwards.

Roosters forwards though and halfs were fantastic - would be great to see these 2 sides again in the grand final.

Good win by the Chooks, but a red hot Manly or Melb would've won me thinks.

Agreed. I was at the game and the line speed from Souths was shit. To top it off they were moving sideways in defense at one stage, no pressure placed on the Chooks halves at all.

Manly or Melbourne would have put 30 - 40 points booth sides last night.

I don't think it looks good for the Chooks. If that the best they can do, I would expect them to lose next weekend, especially if Waerea-Hargreaves is suspended, which I think he will be.

I think we are looking at the worst Australian Rugby squad in modern history - they are getting worse - I have no idea what the answer would be - besides totally going back to u'11 basics (haha) - but the thing is are the players really as good as people thought they were - I think its starting to become clear that they simply are not as good as the rest of the world - its not the coach, its not the game plan - its the players just not being good enough.

Unsure why they keep wanting to go back to Cooper - this is a player that I see that would struggle to get a Super Rugby contract in other countries.

Without a stronger development program and a investment into a 3rd tier professional comp I cant see Australia ever being a true force within rugby again - considering that our junior sides are even worse then the international side - i.e our u20 side coming 6th in the world at the junior world cup. The ARU are boring and need a good kick up the ass because thier drive to improve the game is disgusting.
 
Yep there is no ITM OR Currie cup here the standard of rugby in the ITM cup is fantastic.. I don't think its so much the backs being the issue than the forwards. Props are no good, they were crap 5 years ago yet they still persist with the same guys...

If the forwards were actually going forward I think the backs would look pretty slick
