Australia and England 3rd test

[beige]

I also can't for the life of me see what Skelton brings to international rugby. Brut force and ignorance is all I can see whenever I watch him play.

I'd be a fan of his if he actually did bring brute force.

before the game Check said there was no reason to change the game plan but after a 3 0 whitewash he may want to think again i can still hear that bloody chariot song where was the gold brigade

What is wrong with Aussie crowd.?????.they could have easily drowned out that bloody chariot.. Someone did try and get Waltzing Matilda going with a trumpet or something but gave up.. ;verysad:

All the more to sing as loudly as you can to drown out the other bloody song

Apart from some absolutely disgusting commentary I think it's been proven that
1) we need a new captain
2) we need a new selectors panel
3) we are now officially England's bitch
4) we will carry on being NZ's bitch
5) we SHOULD beat Argentina and possibly SA

Many people laughed when uk hired Eddie now they even make him prime minister!
Chieka on the other hand may end up helping out Ewan in CC!
Chieka was out coached!

I listened to the game on 10 - Jerry... Gordon Bray, Sir Nathan, and Matt Burke far more professional and easier to listen to!!

And yet everyone east of here thinks he's the best on field pretty much every game. Why??

Try watching the first test again. He can finish a try better than any of our wingers and is a solid tackler. I agree that he does not play like a traditional open side and might be better suited to another position (centre?) but to say he is not up to the standard of international rugby is a bit of a stretch.

Skelton on the other hand.....

Not saying that Hooper doesn't deserve to be in the Wallabies first XV, but I can't understand why he's put on such a pedestal.

I thought Hooper had a good series. The question with Hooper isn't is he a good player, he is a good player, but whether he has the right number on his back. Also that we usually play another fetcher at 8 to compensate him playing a bit looser.

Billy V showed the value of having a good 8 in your side.

Brut 33 is stronger & more effective at repelling ...

I agree but...with all due respect to Benny Mac, I don't think we have Billy V or Kiernan Reid in Australia right now.

Been sent heaps from Pommy fans. This one made me giggle

Was at the game last night and noticed once again how the England guys did a lap of the ground at the end of the game applauding and acknowledging all their fans while the Wallabies (bar maybe one or two) all turned their backs on the crowd and just stayed huddled in their 'family corner'. Was exactly the same in Brisbane. #justsaying

Well they can sure teach us a thing or two about player/fan engagement!! (click on "watch on YouTube")
