South Africa v Wales will he brutal trench warfare, no chance the winner is less softened up than the winner of NZ v England.

South Africa had to do a heap of work last night as well, probably as much as us.

Can't see any real advantage to anyone.

yeah my sunday was better than saturday thanks to Shatin and seymour

Same! Exactly with those two meetings. Landed on Mr Lumieres and he ended up paying $40.50 for the win.

Then put half on Collectable and she was scratched at the gate.

Allageri, Ripplebrook, and Caribbean Pearl. I don't know where Seymour is but it's my new favourite track

Did i hear that the "independent" review in to the Aussie performance is being conducted by Scott Johnson? Director of Rugby, part of the problem Scott Johnson?

Not fishing, just interested to know, what is his part in all this?

He was brought on board to oversee selections and make sure Cheika wasn't going off on a tangent (mission: failed). At the same time, he became a selector. Apparently.

Just another example of rugby's failures here: lack of desire to look the problem in the face.

yea, pretty much this. Not sure how you can conduct a review of a system you were in the middle of.

It gets better:

One of Australian rugby’s most respected voices, Rod Kafer, believes Michael Cheika shouldn’t be the only person held accountable for the Wallabies’ Rugby World Cup quarter-final exit and that sweeping changes to the Rugby Australia board must be made.

The same Rod Kafer who was appointed to a senior position developing elite coaches but has delivered precisely jack shit.

He's simply angling for a better job. His mate Kearns is doing the same:

Kearns added that he would accept an invitation to be involved in the review.
“I’d be involved in the review absolutely.

The author is having a lend calling Kafer a "respected rugby voice". Any credibility he had disappeared years ago.

Its Christy Doran. Pretty sure he knows fuck all about rugby. FoxSports Rugby is his first real job after 4 internships and a Master's Degree.

wait, Christy is a dude?

And even if it WAS real, I don't know I can condemn him.... some of our players ARE pretty dumb cnuts.

who told them that the best follow up to points is to run it from your own 22. Through the forwards. Off the 9. Over and over.

Uh... that's our game plan ANYWHERE on the field.

'strayan way

anyone who has a problem with that needs their head read

@NTA Yup sounds like just the man the ARU will turn to

@gt12 said in Plans for Saturday:

Work is going to be so hard this morning, I’m super dusty.

No voice, hangover hungover another hangover, didn’t shave, can barely eat.

No doubt I’ll be adding plenty of value today.

Plus, have the same again next week - will be at both semis!

i have so many "body in a chair" mondays. fuck i love a Sunday session

@gt12 you don't see many rucks called unplayable any more. It either comes out veeerrry slowly, or the defending team gets penalised.

ah, giving up 3 goals in a quarter from them coming back through the corridor? you can tell it's fake inside 20 seconds.

come on guys
