Who head do you roll for last nights game

[Tonkar]

QC rants and raves did not loose the game.. The wallabies were out muscled in the 1st half by a strong physical Springboks team.. The second half was different when Sheehan went to halfback... A man in the bin did not help.

And something I have never seen in my 50 yrs of rugby The Management making the blunder with replacements.. Heads should roll now and it starts with JON... The subbing of a prop early on when you have so many forwards in the game is crap...

The replacements went out to play and boy what a game they gave us in the second half..

Some Of QC crap can now be taken as the truth but I doubt he would have made any difference to this game.

Hooper was the best on field for the wallabies
Beale played well tried to be creative
Phipps to slow
Sheehan added pace
Harris and Fainga were hunting for starts

Well thats my rant and no doubt some of you will add more that I have not written

[brokendown gunfighter]

who is Harvey?

[Tonkar]

SorryI meant Harris

[sittingbison]

Robinson has to go. This BS of replacing him at 30mins has been shown up for the Farce it is.

Cooper must be sacked immediately. It does not matter if he is right or wrong, and he is most definately wrong. Sure there are issues, but he didn't name them only what mattered to him which was a steaming pile.

Reserves all showed ticker, especially Sheehan. Now THAT is a pro at work. Well done mate.

What a tragedy that honey badger might get a game in such a decimated outfit. Mind you I'm STILL not holding my breath.

McCabe should go to 15, Taps and Harris centers and HB to 11 if Digby is out. Otherwise Taps (match fit yet?) to bench and HB to 13 Harris to 12.

I can't remember a time when so many front line wallabies were injured

The demands on players have become too much it seems.

Great to see the demon Sheehan in having a go. Phipps is ordinary in my opinion.

The performance was as bad as I can remember from a wallabies team

[Stone Cold]

Thanks modern sports science for ensuring few injuries.

I am sitting there on my couch in front of my TV doing everything that I can to not yell at the TV so as to not wake up the Zoe Monster asleep in the other room.

Wondering to my self why did I bother staying up for this shite?

What Professional Rugby Player can only play 30 minutes? Phipps had no idea, AAC found away to forget about the game without the use of alcohol.

But the mistake by Management.........OMG! What a disgrace Never have the Wallabies looked like a Amateur 4th Division Subbies side then last night.

I hope Linc started to pack his bag for Argentina last night - Deans has got to go!

I'm in the middle of a shift swing atm, couldn't keep awake, then messed up the recording set-up. Sounds like I was lucky.

The past few weeks have been the worst for Austrslian Rugby. Very deja vu to a few months back with the Force. There needs to be a similar re-set and re-structure. But this time starting from the top.

I'm not so sure about the coaching situation. I can't imagine he's been making so many bad calls if he's got total control. Like the Mitchell saga here we may have to wait for the book.

Whatever happens they MUST withdraw QC's contract offer immediately.

We should remember that the team is in the middle of the worst injury crisis I can remember. Also, no other Wallaby team has EVER managed to win in Pretoria. It's not exactly the end of the universe. For both our teams, the only way is up. Baby.

GO THE DOGS!

Pretoria has been a bit of a graveyard

Despite the injury crisis, I thought the run on team would be competitive and I actually thought we could win

The performance was poor. Our pack was beaten all over the park.......scrum, lineout, breakdown, gain line.......the backs cannot play much rugby with backfoot ball.

It is disheartening to witness the same tripe every match

The bench added some spark and some hunger. That was a positive. Hooper is a dynamo of effort, enthusiasm, guts, determination. Hooper is perhaps the highlight of our international season. A 3 nil win over Wales was good but the type of rugby we won the series with was not inspiring.

Deans has had plenty of time now to "build" a culture, a team, depth and results

A coach can only be marked on the style of rugby and the results. He has failed to deliver rugby worth watching and sadly, his results are as bad as any wallaby coach of the modern era.

I believe a change is required

The entire ARU structure needs an investigation

..........go the Doggies

I can't understand why we're so decimated by injury and yet the Boks and ABs - who play the same amount, if not more, rugby than our guys do - are not.

Anyone??

No heart and going soft maybe?

Haven't you heard!?!? The wallabies have shit equipment and training gear!

[jono]

Morahan has been called into the squad. Wonder if he will get a run before the badger

Now in the aftermarth of The Shocker in South Africa, we now have to face the Los Pumas in Argentina.

This makes Pretoria look like a 7 star resort.

Old stories of previous tours are having the players phones ringing all night and fire alarms going off as well as requiring armed escorts where ever they go. Will see the boys tested like never before.

Jesus, Phipps was awful. Some of his passes were diabolical - a couple were end-over-end shit you don't see past the first year of schoolboy rugby. He wasn't willing to go into contact much, and he seemed to take 4-5 second to get to every breakdown, whereas Sheehan was chasing the clean-out trying for quick ball. Shetland has to get the nod for the Pumas, for his distribution, running, tackling, and general mongrel.

The injuries certainly aren't helping the Wallabies, but for all the talk of a team being missing, half of the starters last night would start a Deans ideal XV (Robinson, Alexander, Sharpe(?), Beale, Ioane, McCabe, Barnes, Ashley-Cooper) and TPN, Hooper, Samo, Shipperley and most of the bench would probably be in or around the 22.

The main difference is the ABs and Bokke don't see much of a reduction in perfromance/ability once you go outside the first XV. By concentrating so much on the pinnacle, the Wallabies don't have that depth of talent and so when an injury crisis hits the effect is more marked. (Remember the ABs played the World Cup Final with their 5th choice fly-half!) By cancelling the Wallaby A team and not supporting a professional tier below Super Rugby JO'N has screwed Australian rugby.
