I'm gonna need to find something else to make fun of welshrugbyfan for now...

A note for the ARU - why wasn't this held at SFS? There was no NRL there today

Just as well it wasn't held at West Tigers home ground in Campbelltown otherwise it would have been a Samoan home crowd as well

Tuilagi running at O'Connor, ouch.

BREAKING NEWS: Queensland Reds Rod Davies has been called-up in to the Qantas Wallabies squad to face Manu Samoa, replacing Western Force's James O'Connor

He would have been trampled. What are the chances he has a KPI about wingers he has to run at being over 110kg?

Rod Davis was a disaster. I can't stand him.

Rocky didn't deserve the match 22, let alone 80 minutes. Phipps was nervous and his forwards weren't working hard enough at the breakdown. Giteau was blah as. McCabe goes alright though.

This Tuilagi bloke would look mighty fine in a Western Force jersey now...

I'd be interested to see a Ashley-Cooper/McCabe centre combination with whoever is faster playing at 13. I don't know why Cowan wasn't given at least 10 minutes and why Kepu wasn't moved to tighthead.

Davies doesn't really offer anything but speed. O'Connor, Beale and Ioane are fast enough and have much better skill sets. I wonder if Giteau will be starting next week.

Thought the same, but the Swans were playing next door at the same time-don't know if there are some limits about how many people you pack into Moore Park at once.

By the looks of the crowd and the booing whenever the Wallabies were awarded a penalty, I wonder if Campbelltown didn't head into Homebush for the afternoon TIF!
