Macca@Work · 19th July 2010, 20:51

"dingo" deans must be reaching for the prozac now.his team seems to have the weakest forwards pack atm and I reckon the big sprinkboks pack will give them a hard time.Then his team have to front up to the ABs who are playing very well atm.As for the boks coach calling McCaw a cheat well He's not a cheeky darkie he's a stupid one.

mr selfdestruct · 20th July 2010, 09:15

The Aussies always play particularly well at Suncorp Stadium. They have some reinforcements in their pack now, better players than they had in the June tests but they don't have any recent game time behind them so they may get bullied. I've got a feeling the Aussies are in with a good chance of winning though, it's a lottery which squad Deans picks :P If Genia is fit to play and they can field, Cooper, Giteau, Genia, Hynes, Ashley-Cooper, Horne and Mitchell I think they can win.

I bet Weepu was giving Carter a hard time on the field and wanted to take the kick to rub it in.

I don't know if I would write the boks off, but I also haven't seen how Au have been playing so far.

mr selfdestruct · 20th July 2010, 10:26

Aussies had to stomach a loss to England so I think they'll be ready. A loss teaches you more than a win.

Except for the fact their "win " over the english was more good luck than good management.They certainly didnt deserve to win that game.They were outplayed by the english and a few bullshit penalties gave them the win.

mr selfdestruct · 20th July 2010, 13:05

You make it sound like most matches don't come down to good luck! :P

Well if you score enough trys,then luck ,or dubious calls by the ref or whatever you want to call it,doesn't have a bearing on the final result.

pig · 23rd July 2010, 00:25

That SA coach is an even bigger nutbag than i realised, his comments to the Aussie media have me leaning towards the Aussies getting up over them for the simple fact he would appear to be a bigger hindrance than help for the SA team. Hopefully both teams beat the snot out of one another.
Dunno about O'Connor on the wing, seems like a good player they just don't know where they want him.

mr selfdestruct · 23rd July 2010, 15:49

They know O'Connor is a natural fullback but he's one of their better players under the high ball and has a good boot so much like the Cory Jane experiment, Deans obviously thinks he'll play well there. I'm backing the Wallabies to win this one by 12 and under.

If I had a spare tenner I'd put it on the boks as I think they will grind the wallabies down,I don't know if Styn (sp?) is playing if he is he will be enough
to kick the boks to victory.I actually feel sorry for the yarpies having their coach gob off about the ref to detract from how badly they sucked and how well the ABs played.
The only way the ockers can win is to give their backs plenty of ball and run the boks off their feet.Normally I cheer for the boks but their coach is an oink so meh.

BoyWonder · 25th July 2010, 00:07

Shit I can't keep up - is Australia hosting the world cup next year now?

CCS · 25th July 2010, 00:52

Four yellow cards in 3 games. lol.

Macca@Work · 25th July 2010, 00:56

Well done ockers.10/10 for showing up to the game with guts.the forwards still look suspect though.

BoyWonder · 25th July 2010, 00:59

I really wish I had the rugby channel. The after match press conference would be pure gold.

Macca@Work · 25th July 2010, 01:02

"Those kiwi bawstards were LINEMEN!Thats why the mighty springboks lost!
And der ref was from IRELAND AGAIN!!"

pig · 25th July 2010, 01:03

Ha ha hell yeah, the boks actually had their chances but just kept stuffing it up.

mr selfdestruct · 26th July 2010, 09:15

Jesus I knew the Wallabies would win but I didn't think they'd demolish them like that. They unleashed their back line big time, they competed in the line outs, Sharpe and Mumm were easily as good if not better than Rousouw and Victor. The Wallabies struggled at scrum time but the Boks never tried to push them which was odd, content to let the ball out asap.

The Wallabies struggled under the mid field bombs all night but it didn't make a difference to the score line because the Boks couldn't reach the target player at the same time the ball was landing.

Isn't that 3 yellow cards in the first 10 minutes of every game now? And a suspension in every game too! Can't wait for the P.DeVilliers backlash

mr selfdestruct · 27th July 2010, 15:47

Yep as everyone suspected, Giteau at 10, Barnes at 12 Moore replacing Fainga at Hooker. Back to the strategy that didn't work so well last year!

mr selfdestruct · 27th July 2010, 16:14

And straight swaps for Cowan/Weepu and Ranger/Joe

Deadmeat · 27th July 2010, 19:27

I'm really disappointed to see Weepu not get a starting spot

QWERTY? · 28th July 2010, 07:59

yeh, but its only because he missed part of the week due to his baby's birth.

mr selfdestruct · 28th July 2010, 08:50

That's a crock of an excuse Qwerty. Henry prefers Cowan to start, simple as that.

Exactly, he's stated this many times. He like Weepu to finish as well. Why mess with a strat that works?

mr selfdestruct · 28th July 2010, 09:29

Yep dead right. Piri played awesome no one will take that away from him but really Henry has just ticked the 'depth at half back' box. He knows now that the All Blacks will be fine there if Cowan can't start. Now for that tricky fly half position.... Cruden needs to bulk up, he weighs the same as me, that's not rugby player weight!

Yeh, I can't see Cruden being an impact player in world class rugby until he gains 10-15kg

xor · 28th July 2010, 11:03

Yeah the guy is tiny. He must be as hard as the hammers of hell though to be that small and play at international level.

fixed_truth · 28th July 2010, 11:32

Im(bias)o Cowan has come a long way with the consistency of his play for the Abs. Weepu did play above Cowans level last game but there's no guarantee yet that he'll keep it up.

mr selfdestruct · 28th July 2010, 12:11

OMG some dodgey journalist photographed Henry's Game Plan and it's been analysed and published in two of their newspapers! How low is that?!

Deadmeat · 31st July 2010, 15:35

If i had money on i'd go with ABs <7, but i reckon the scoreline has a chance to go the way it did against the boks if our defence holds well.
