MEMO TO WALLABIES
Get Pocock fixed up, fast!!
Tatafu was rusty, Saia wasn't..
Will Genia - lose the box kick! - all you do is kick it ten metres upfield and give it away - you could have run to that spot in one or two phases.
Why did we need to bring 3 half backs and only one openside flanker?
Please ask for no more Kiwi referees. No criticism of Bryce, but the ability to slot the Wallabies must be at least a little bit tempting.
Aussies are too one dimensional and don't ever seem to think that someone will come up with a creative game plan to nullify the attack. We effectively had 3 no 8's on paddock, last night, couldn't anyone protect Genia - did anyone tell McCalman that he was supposed to do what Pocock does?

CHECK OUT THE JEDI...!
I'm not usually one to plug anything Kiwi, but if you are bored with the usual suspects on Fox or Channel 9, I can suggest that you turn down the sound and tune into the Jedi (otherwise known as Jed Thian - bit fat Maori bastard, who never has a kind word for anything Aussie) and refers to us as the "West Island" or "the Criminal
Element"
...you should hear what he used to call Stirling Mortlock!! ...mind you he's not too complimentary about the Boks or the Poms, either!
But, his commentary is different, fresh and challenging (if you can ignore his love affair with Richie McCaw!!)
Now, if he just teamed up with Roy and H.G. you would never listen to anything else.
so check it out ...."Rugby, Racin' and Beer!!" at www.arcrugby.co.nz ... (I can't believe I'm doing this!...) ...and we always drink on a tight head, right??!!
....AND NOW FOR SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT!
.... they teach referees to be in the middle of the game, but this is too close to home ....
A game played in Mackay last year, and its fair to say that the ref remembers some of it, but not all of it.

...and look how far the ball flew after the Falcon!!

QUOTE OF THE DAY - 13TH SEPTEMBER
From "The Australian"..
The Irish manager talking about their chances against the Wallabies ..
Asked about Cooper, but really wanted to focus on Genia, who many think is the real brains behind the outfit ..after all Coops just goes out there and does what he does, and even he doesn't what that is until he does it! ..
'quote: .."We've got trouble right across the park!.." Couldn't have said it any better.. and nuff said
Memo to Wallabies - don't be complacent fellas, remember '91!!

ONE OF THE BEST AUSSIE ANTHEMS I'VE HEARD IN A LONG TIME
That was one of the best renditions of Advance Australia Fair that have been done in recent memory..
THE WORLD CUP WALLABIES PROMO
CHECK OUT THIS BRILLIANT COMPILATION .. ONE THAT YOU WILL WANT TO KEEP IN YOUR MEMORIES LIBRARY!
...RANDOM THOUGHTS FROM THE FIRST WEEKEND OF RWC
Some random observations which are neither here nor there!
Australia gave everyone something to think about
Ireland manager can't be serious when he says that Ireland can beat the Wallabies!
Hook's penalty kick looked pretty good to me!!
The English were rubbish and so are their insulting black jerseys .. can't even keep the numbers on .. maybe a ploy by the players to get rid of them .. how embarrassing!
Ioane's absence will not be that bad .. Mitchell should replace him and we won't miss a beat ...and I'll bet USA and Russia breathed a huge sigh of relief! (Did they see how Mitchell played against Canada for the Baa-Baa's though?
Still wish Gits was there!
Springboks showed glimpses!!
Good on the minnows!!

....AS HENRY FORD SAID, YOU CAN HAVE ANY COLOUR, AS LONG AS IT'S BLACK
Remember that bloke Roy G. Biv?
The acronym for kids to learn the colours of the spectrum ...Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet and every colour in between .....black isn't there, because it is not even a colour ...just an absence of light and shade ...and in the case of the RFU an absence of good sense, good taste, good judgment and good humour!!
I mean the English colours are red, white and blue, so why can't their alternative playing strip be red or blue??
What an insult!! What a humourless pack of bastards!!
What a useless wind up? No doubt some smarmy poms had a good snigger - are you over it yet, lads??
I hope you are boo'ed off the park in NZ, lads!! You want to hope that the marketing guys haven't saddled you with a ploy that's going to backfire on you.
Best of British, non-whites!!
