<p>That's what I like about him, plain language and clarity about what he is up to. As I have noted here before - all he needs now is to have the faction which sponsored him to run interference on the ARU, and on the internecine warfare from the various unions and factions, so that he is free to get on with the excellent job he has started.</p>

<p>Yep. The Wallabies will be a huge threat in the years to come.</p> -

<p>Big error from the ABs not to ensure play stopped and Bender came back on. A Smith said after that they knew the vulnerabilities were from Oz kicks in that period and they ended up handing Oz an opportunity that they took.</p>

<p>Yeah, I'd be curious if Hansen was asked how he rated that performance because in crucial moments I thought we were poor. Now a 17 point win after leading the entire game, where the only real challenge game during a yellow card period means we certainly performed well during large periods. But I thought there were several points where we didn't bring the same intensity or attention to detail that we had in the past - specifically at the beginning and ending of that yellow, and taking sensible options after breaks so ball can be recycled.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A lot more little mental lapses than we are used to - Bender's card was another, Carter missing touch on the penalty etc.</p> -

Yep , South Africa must due to announce they are keen on playing rugby in the nh again if they don't get what they want. I'd imagine thd ARU and NZRU will say "meh, (cough japan) really?" -

What you mean the Bono of Rugby isn't the Saint he tells everyone he is? -
<p>I just floated home. That was beautiful. A false sense of security followed by my tightest sphincter muscle in 4 years, and then bliss. What a relief. We may never see the likes of this again, so enjoy the moment. Massive respect for Shag, Richie and this team. I can't wait to watch a replay of the match again so I can do it with a smile on my face for the full 80. There was some blue invective for stretches from my cave, what me worry?!</p>

Grubby, but he will no doubt use the Horwill defence. -

He was just showing Richie the label that proves his boots are made from 100% recycled hemp and the tears of unemployed miners. -

<p>At least he kept his promise not to win the world cup until gay marriage is legalised in Australia... or something.</p> -

<p>Fucks sake man, I thought your whinge last week was over the top but this is ridiculous. They just won the fucking cup, who cares if they made some mistakes, so long as they got the win in the end.</p> -
