<p>Being a white guy, would it have been okay for me to call Moala a "silverback" in the media? Or would it have been misconstrued?</p>
<p>Just thinking aloud.</p>

<p>I was wondering that too, and no I don't think so. I think primate related nicknames are off the agenda for the foreseeable future.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm just glad they removed the colour preface from Julian Savea's nickname and now it's just 'The Bus'. That was a particularly awkward nickname too.</p> -

I'm sure he'd be in NZ if he'd been playing for a few months or even weeks. Only made his comeback last week from long-term injury.<br>
Get your point though, and given Wales' lack of depth he'd be very useful to have around. Class player is Mr Halfpenny. -
<p>Proper excited about this game. Only way it could be better for me personally would be for Lima to be starting. (BB certainly demanded his start though)</p>

<p>Looking for a big games from DIxon and Moala</p>

<p>ABs by lots</p> -

<p>He's a genuinely nice bloke off the field. It's just when he crosses the white line that things change. I've known a few players like that to varying degrees</p>

<p>How to make friends with Wallaby supporters; try explaining that to them.</p>

<p>Although you dont hear so much about it now days , </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Meads Catchpole thing is probably worse for them , older Wallaby fans think Pinetree was Satan himself , dont even bother mentioning him as the greatest of his era </p>
<p> </p>
<p>And I had absolutely no idea about it until I moved to Australia </p> -

That run sums up Savea right there. Stumbles into a tackler and turns it over<br><br><br>

<p>after dropping another high ball (though backwards). Seemed like he wanted to get some confidence with a good run, but that was shocking</p> -
