We need to change some things, technique and strategy. Perhaps a bit more wheeling or something because that seems to be accepted...


Seems the Aussie fans can't decide who was most to blame for the loss to England...the forwards or the backs..?


...Three losses in a row and other Aussie fans are saying bring back Ewen McDonald..


...Sucks to be an Aussie of late...

 Brycy dont you mean their convict neighbours?  
Yes the wobblies need to improve their pack. But the English also munched the wee abs and when they play their first team players it could get very hard for the wee abs.
Only the Boks can better their pack but NOT with the likes of wee matfield on the field!

 I wouldn't count Oz out yet, they always seem to be a pain in our ar@se & everyone elses too, lol (except for Claydog).  
They have some really good players (Poc^ock - I believe he is in jail at the moment) & they will get their act together in the RWC itself & shock a few teams.

 I actually think we have been playing OK. Obvious problems in the scrums but our line outs have improved and general play has been fairly good. We are constantly being let down by some basic handling errors at crucial times. I am not overly concerned at this stage and still think we will do well at the WC.

 Claygog like us you Ozzies are not used to a slippery greasy ball. The kiwis live on a dank misty type of little island so are not as badly effected. 
One must just have practice sessions with a wet ball etc.

 Beeno: you agree with me  I had better get more sleep as there must be something wrong.
I was hoping the Boks would win their last game so we could avoid the angst & hand-wringing - I prefer the incessant, hollow sounds of chest-beating. Still we have supper rugby to look forward to & the Mighty Chiefs are willing to assume their teacher role during this coming season.

JW teaching teams to back peddal at the rate of knotts in the scrum is of little use to SA sides.

 SA teams have already learned how to back pedal at the rate of knots in their scrums so no lessons necessary. Hapless stormers can teach some bad tricks I am sure

 Kiwis had no probs passing the same ball through 22 sets of hands to score a try .Poor wee butterfingers Le Roux probably needs to tape his knife and fork to his hands when eating out ,to avoid embarrassment and injury to all .
