Adam Frier will not be able to speak to the media but will be allowed to ring the Wallaby coach and abuse him.
Dan Vickerman to accentuate the positive of him leaving the side at their peak.
All NSWRU committee members to blame coach Ewan McKenzie for the loss.
Ewan McKenzie to blame the NSWRU committee members for the loss.
Lote Tiquiri to blame Sam Norton Knight for poor decision making.

Kurtley Beale to blame Mazda for not giving away a car for his kicking.
Matt Dunning to blame Burgess for not giving him the ball when he was set in the pocket for the perfect drop kick.
