England to whitewash Australia
-
Ockers for me.<br><br>
Don't like Eddie even more than I don't like Cheika.<br><br>
Also hate the uppityness of the English rugby media more than the uppityness of the Aussie rugby media.<br><br>
Also Aussie rugby could do with the positivity in it's battle with the evil of the other codes. -
<p>I think the positive about Australia winning , we get the opportunity to beat them straight after which puts everything in order ( for us) </p>
<p> </p>
<p>England win , they go off thinking they are the new super power </p> -

<p>What is the story there? It seems to get messier every week.</p> -
One perspective:<br><br><b>CEO:</b> "Hey, I was looking at the books, and there is something fucking wrong here."<br><br><b>Board:</b> "Oh that. Don't worry about it. Taken care of. In the past. Moving right along."<br><br><b>CEO:</b> "Yeah nah. I'm in charge here, arses are on the line. What the fuck happened?"<br><br><b>Board:</b> "Look, its nothing. Just a bit of creative accounting to sort some shit out. We're good. <i>Move on</i>."<br><br><b>CEO:</b> "OK then, you leave me no choice"<br><br><i>[Bunfight ensues. Toys are thrown. Matter dragged into public. EGM. Another EGM. ACT Clubs wonder what the fuck is going on. Everyone outside ACT remembers Canberra exists. Phone calls to St Leonards are made.]</i><br><br><br><b>Board:</b> "Here's some money. Shut up and fuck off."<br><br><b>CEO:</b> "OK then but I'm still not hap-"<br><br><b>Board:</b> "JOE! MAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYTE!"<br><br><b>Australian Rugby Fans:</b> "Yep, another old boys circle-jerk"

<p>It seems that Chris Ashton has spat the dummy after missing out on the Oz trip. I know he polarises opinion and is not the best tackler but he remains a bloody good finisher. I'm not sure I would have left him out.</p>

<p>Ashton has a massive ego, Eddie Jones has a massive ego too. Not hard to see how they might not see eye to eye or like each other much.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The big difference is that Eddie Jones is the coach so if Ashton wants to play international Rugby again he needs to listen and act on what Eddie has to say.</p> -

Declining the Saxons place probably not his smartest move. Of course, not noted for smart moves. -

Bugger - we'll no doubt have to get another Samoan to replace him. -

<p>Have to say my opinion of him hasn't changed since he threw his toys.</p> -

<p>9. Phibbs</p>
<p>10. Foley</p>
<p>11. Kerevi</p>
<p>12. Toomua</p>
<p>13. Folau</p>
<p>14. Kuridrani</p>
<p>15. Beale</p>
<p> </p>
<p>would have been a great backline. Shame Beale got injured. Any other decent options at 15 to allow Folau to play centre?</p> -
Is Ashley cooper available?<br><br><br>

<p>Seems a bit odd to put these guys in those positions.....are they trying to emulate the glory days when they shoehorned three Super Rugby fullbacks into the one starting line up in Roff, Burke and Latham just so they could get all their best players on the park at once ?</p> -

<p>Dane Haylett-Petty has had a breakout season in a very poor Force side. Worth consideration.</p> -

Bit odd for you to post something harking back to the nineties or early noughties bro. What next, something about big muscly guys? Scotland? -

<p><span style="font-size:8px;">even though they have to compete as Great Britain</span></p> -
<p>As one commentator said on FoxSports the other day: Yes, you could confidently put Folau at 13. But who else has been ripping it up at 15 this year that would be better than him?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>9 Phipps</p>
<p>10 Foley</p>
<p>11 Horne</p>
<p>12 Lealiifano</p>
<p>13 Kuridrani</p>
<p>14 DHP</p>
<p>15 Folau</p>
<p> </p>
<p>That would be alright.</p> -
