It's very important who our second five is because they have to build the relationship and partnership with the man outside them. If Mauger is the 12 then Muliaina should be 13, if McCalister is at 12 then Smith should be 13. Thaty's my opinion because in each of these combinations you have a guy that can take the line on with strength (McCalister and Muliaina) and to be quite honest I can't see Mauger and Smith working that well together because they are too similar in the way they play with regards to being support runners etc. If they do pair up then expect the wingers to be used in midfield to charge it up.

So annoyed with rugby nowadays , watching Australia play. OGara was superb though, as was the Irish right wing, Horgan is it? Anyway, the whole Irish team played fantastic, particularly their backs. Hate BOD though.
Hoping to see Scott Staniforth given a shot at no.12 this weekend against the Scots.

This is what England rugby was all about:
A bit of vintage Wilkinson
Josh Lewsey on Matt Rogers
And something irrelevant but amusing:
Josh Lewsey v Peter Crouch Powerade ad

Apparently huh? Did you just read that in the comments? As far as I remember, he didn't break any ribs, was just winded.Anna said:Yup, he couldn't lie down on a surf board for a while after, apparently. Serves him right - he was on at Lewsey for ages during that match, until he got nailed

TBF Rogers actually said as much himself:KennyD said:

"It ruined my surfing career," Rogers said when asked about the tackle. "I can't lie on a surf board properly now because my rib sticks out.
"It was an old injury but he flared it up. Now when all the boys go surfing I have to go swimming because I can't lie on my board.
"I've copped a few good ones in my time but that was right up there. My wife was really upset about it after the game, she said 'That was dirty'.
"I had to tell her it wasn't dirty it was just a great hit. Good on him, it really rattled me."

I've often wondered why Roger's ribs seems to protrude out of his jersey and now I know. Personal note, when our rugby team came back from Australia we got to fly with the Waratahs, it was great sitting near guys like Justin Harrison, Phil Waugh and Matt Rogers. I'm expecting the AB's to be too good for Wales, especially since Thomas and Henson are out which is a shame.

So we know that a third string South African team should muller England today, but I'd be surprised if we don't capitulate again.. I don't think I can be bothered to turn the radio on, and think I've used all my luck this week on the cricket..
Interesting that they've called Jake White home afterwards to "explain himself" - Whoever left 13+ top class players at home should be doing the explaining as well..

Sorry, I don't know who that guy is in your avatar, but If he's playing league, he should be wearing a douche...steds said:

I think Lange is suggesting League players are douche bags.
Anyway, fugging England. All going ok for half an hour, 14-3 ahead (albeit courtesy of a dodgy try from Cueto), then Sanderson knocks on from the restart, we concede a pen & the wheels fall off big style. Turn round 16-14 down.
I wish I could stop caring, I really do...

Yes, brilliant play by Januarie and de Villiers, could be the end of Robinson..

The Welsh management were trying to re arrange the order in which we do the pre match things, basically they wanted us to do it after out national anthem so they could sing theirs afterwards and take the sting out of it. Saw some of the AB's game, I just get bored watching them I really do because they win all the time and Tony Johnston is a real wanker to listen to, thinks McCaw and the rest of them can do no wrong. France lucky to escape with a win over Argentina 27-26.
