Will Australia ever win back the Bledisloe cup?

[blueandblack]

We can get it back...after Cur Richie, DC and Cruden are dead (and there are no equivalent replacements)

[SNOB]

True BB and a machine gun and then we might stand a chance.
As much as I hate to admit it they were bloody good tonight!

Best solution - never play any more wallabies tests at Homebush. Wallabies have only won 1 of the past 8 games in the past 4 years there.

How about we don't play the AB'S at all and just admit they are the best and play the rest of the world for second place!😢

If Simmons is the best second rower we have (After Horwell) thre I little hope!

Yet the line-out was the one shining light the Wallabies had in the game tonight, Simmons was responsible for two line-out steals and his pressure was attributable to the the AB's overthrow which lead to Genia's try. Not to mention he had 8 runs 42m and 12 rucks and mauls, going on those figures his work-rate was second to only Horwill's. http://www.rugbystats.com.au/matches...atch22218.html

He was by no means awesome, but he was definitely a pass mark compared to some of the other plodders who didn't turn up tonight.

Agree. I thought Simmons was solid.
I still think the AB's get away with murder eg inside their 22, Read competes for ball ends up on his back, hands grabbing for ball while still on his back no call from ref. Diabolical. Ref ends up blowing the whistle on whitlock instead for a later infringement.
Its interesting to note we were in the game when joubert was pinging the kiwi's. Then in the 2nd half it was a free for all. we'll never beat them while they have the green light to infringe.

Where is the "sack McKenzie" thread?

When you take a herd of goats to a greyhound meet it pretty much doesn't matter who the trainer is

If this page is a true record of the stats then we all barking up the wrong tree JOC was the best Back even better than the ABs

Watched the game at a sports bar here in Ho Chi Minh City.

I was the only one in Wallaby colours. The place was packed with feral kiwis. Where the fark do they all come from?

Just once I would like the Wallabies to win when I am in a situation like that.

Just farking once.

Had to console myself with a 2 hour oil massage afterwards to calm the nerves.

As she was working her magic with her fingers Miss Saigon cooed "..more important things in rife than wugby, todd4san" and I was beginning to see her point

[travelling_gerry]

But did she see your point?

But did she see your point?

She was way ahead of me, had everything in hand...

Number 10 wins matches, and seen on last night's performance also loses it too. First Half Mogg seemed to be the #10 when Toomua was still in the stands. Second half wasn't much better. We are sounding and looking like NSWRL State of Origin Team with the halves combinations. how many more are we "going to trial" before we find a good one again, and how many games are we going to lose in doing ANOTHER experiment.

I thought that Richie McCaw had a remarkable game. For a guy that has played like 20 minutes of Super Rugby this year. He didn't miss a beat.

Yes he pushes the boundaries and if I were to put on my Gold coloured goggles on - He is offside and a cheat and he drives me crazy.

And I am beginning to think that he is quite possibly the best Rugby Union player I have ever seen.

[goldie12345]

Simply answer to the original question - No way in hell

[GIGS20]

He's a bloody cheat, constantly offside and getting away with murder at the ruck Ex.

And yes, he's the best rugby union player I've ever seen, so much so that he's redefined the job of a number 7 to be being constantly offside and getting away with murder at the ruck.
