This little interchange left one feeling vaguely nauseous:
-
"McKenzie said Robinson was disappointed when he informed him of his omission on Friday.
'I was actually pleased he was disappointed,' the Wallabies boss said.
'If he wasn't disappointed I would be disappointed.'"
-
Silly stuff from a silly man. He might have considered that Robinson was disappointed because he was dropped, and Ben Alexander, who was pretty much demolished by the Lions, was retained. That said Scott Sio certainly taught Coenie his scrumming lessons and has generally looked very good in loose play. Perhaps this is a permanent changing of the guard.
-
This Wallaby squad is largely a new bunch......young at about 25 years.....with seemingly now about a third of the players from the Pacific Islands. Gone are the days when Willie Ofahengaue was the sole representative.
-
How will this group do against the ABs with their painful coach and mercurial ( a very kind adjective) flyhalf....why they are likely to whacked.

And they will whack us in return - what with the bunch of foreign-based players and over-weight, slow and useless players Meyer selected for his squad. I would rather have younger players than players who may some years ago - contained some sort of reputation (often enough based on hype without substance) and has delivered nothing during the past year to justify their inclusion.
I am not even thinking what the All Blacks will do to us - it is too ghastly to contemplate.
This idea to select foreign-based players - provided they were Bulls previously - is really sick - and then we also have the do-nothings that Meyer is hanging around with - what a dunce.
The silly coach issue - Meyer wins by a mile. Why - o why - are we punished like this by forcing a dolt onto us to coach the Springboks? We have sinned - but not so much that we deserve punishment like this.

Moz I missed Sio teaching Coenie a lesson for it never happened. But saying that Sio is a good prospect at 21 and at 116kg gives the Oz at least one good option at prop

The Wallaby tighthead will be James Slipper - of that I am pretty sure.
You will never get Mozart to admit that he is wrong about Coenie - because Mozasrt want the useless Steenmkamp in the team come hell or high water.

I do not really believe that Coenie should be the tughthead and never said that. What I believe I stated clearly above - and the egg will come when we get whacked because of poor squad selection. Steenkamp, Se Jongh and Alberts - what a joke - plus another virtually certain Morne Steyn collapse like last year
Egg aplenty is coming up.
