Yet another game thrown away by a brain dead error late in a game.

Truth has finally come out, bit of an anti climax really... http://www.news.com.au/story/0,27574,26030801-1242,00.html Seems everyone maintained silence out of respect for the girl and her family... must be a very powerful family. ARU got there man, but I reckon the out of court settlement...

Cannot believe that the real reason Lote was sacked hasn't leaked yet. The ARU community isn't that small that this can be suppressed that long... can it? Minor offense or not surely someone is prepared to give in anonymously to journos before the court case rolls around. FWIW I reckon it...

His poor family and partner must be devastated. So very, very sad. Just goes to show how extremely lucky Polak was last year.

James O'Connor was brilliant in the Barbarians game. Only an 18 year old kid but played with poise and composure way beyond his years... superstar in the making.

Good match this morning, very young and raw Wallabies won 18-11 in a very physical match. George Smith was a hero, cannot speak highly enough of this bloke... absolute superstar. James O'Connor proved he is a star in the making. Only 18 years old but was a shining light at full back...

Why is the draw for a World Cup in 2011 taking place at the end of 2008?

Another pretty disappointing performance, certainly didn't deserve to win. Wales was there for the taking and we simply were not good enough. Really missed Mortlock after he went off injured, Burgess was again poor and Tuqiri has to be the most over paid athlete on the planet. Waugh tried...

We defended well, but the French lost this match more than us winning it.

Very gutsy win this morning, some may even consider it lucky given the French penalty misses and dodgy refereeing. We were smashed at the break down and only atrocious kicking from the French got us over the line. Mortlock and Giteau were massive... Burgess shouldn't be in a Wallaby jumper.

Robbie Deans is an absolute magician. The way he has jelled this team into a formidable cohesive unit in such a short amount of time is incredible. Been a long time since I've seen us so dominant at the break down and so solid in the line out. The injuries last night are not good news...

Why? Both the French and us choked when it counted.

Not sure why you would risk Latham in this game. It is a big game but still very risky playing him six months after a reco. Surely the WC is more important to get him right for. Hope the boys do well but have a feeling we'll get belted.

Very good game... All Blacks should have been 20 in front by half time... once again showing potential mental frailty close to the WC. Aussies were much better in the second half despite their line outs and scrumming being absolutely woeful. Huxley is a very good Super14 player but looks...

Should be a great game at the G, really looking forward to it. Absolute disgrace that the game is not televised live into Melbourne by Se7en. As the great John So so succinctly put it... "Go da Worrabeez!"

Dunning had a cracker of a test... believe it or not but the Aussie scrum dominated. :eek:

NFI. Watch the passage again and get some perspective.

Watch this passage of play again. Larkham had no time... the Saffa's were on top of him very quickly. If the pass had been spot on he would have had a fraction more time, the pass was behind him which put him totally off balance. He did well to get rid of the ball in the manner he did.

Rubbish, Larkham had a pretty good game. The poor kick was actually caused by a poor pass by Gregan behind Larkham. He had to kick it left foot and under intense pressure just to get it away. Did well under the circumstances.

You have NFI mate, this match was so much better than league has to offer it is not funny. Any league boys out there that want to learn how to tackle properly, get a tape of this match. Cowboys could well do with a copy, they were soft as a wet paper bag last night. Brilliant end to end...

Has there been another side that has endured so many one point losses at home?

Not based on performances over the last 18 months... quarters at best. Most teams smash our forwards at rucks, scrums and lineouts. Add to this that our star fullback will most likely be missing, but if Latham does manage to make it back he would have to be underdone.

Not even an outside chance... England have more chance of winning the cricket world cup.

Not his fault, we just don't have the players coming through at the moment. When you have non existent forwards the game of Union becomes difficult. Our tight five are the worst in decades... no quality service to the backs. Can't pilfer tight five from league either so may be in a bit of...

Agreed. Also lots of South Africans living there too. The Melbourne market is too cluttered, pity cos I'd love to watch it live (dad played for Aussies in 60's).

There would have been more Aussie tries without the continual deliberate off side. Ref eventually started giving out yellows, but it was too little too late. Couldn't believe it when the ref reversed the Aussie penalty beneath the posts, all Gregan did was make a calm & logical comment about...

Shouldn't be in the team, absolutely thick as two short sh1ts... must have been a special clause in his ARU contract.

VIC team would be the end for the Melbourne Storm. Hope a Pacific Islanders team is included as well.

Have you ever been to Australia, or are you just playing with yourself in your parent's mouldy one room bedsit in SW London?
