Have you heard the story of ... a player, a coach, unrequited love

[theforceguy]

Matt Giteau may have started a new life tens of thousands of kilometres away in France but it appears he can't let go of being left out of Australia's Rugby World Cup squad.
The former Wallaby and Brumby, who now plays for French Top 14 side Toulon, made another reference to his strained - or non-existent - relationship with Australian coach Robbie Deans overnight.
The 29-year-old posted on Twitter: "I'm starting to lose the faith but after waiting all day I don't think I'm going to get a valentines card from Robbie Deans ha".

Pretty simple, no Super Rugby, no Wallaby...

I still feel for ther guy thought not sure what happened between him and RD but he should have been there during the WC but he need to move on and let his playing make a point not his twitter...I might be alone on this one but i was just thinking how we could really do with his skills right now giving our 10 sit.

Why would you tweet that? More to the point, why would you use twitter in general?

But anyway, why does Giteau think that anyone cares? There is such a stark contrast between how Giteau and Nathan Sharpe each dealt with being dropped by Robbie.

Our as in the force? I disagree because we have a standard who actually attacks the line and looks for holes to out his runners into. And has the cacaciry to chip one over the line too. As opposed to gits who crabbed across the line at every opportunity, drawing 2 defenders and then offloaded 10 steps too late to a runner who is basically in line with him so he has no chance to get speed up to hit the line which is centimetres away from him. So the 2nd receiver has to take the hit, thus killing every backline play.

I don't feel sorry for him. Anothet player came in and was better than him. And the other players in the squad didnt allow for him to stay in the team.
I would have still had him in the WC squad though.

Agreed. Concidering that there was no justification to drop sharpie again last year!

Agreed. There's no denying that the Force's most successful seasons were when Giteau was here.


Regarding the twittering - I think he was just having a joke and if you look at it like that, in light of the history btw himself and Deans, I think it was quite funny.

I think he is a flogger.
