What nonsense, we'll see on Saturday. The wallabies were unfairly punished in NZ, that doesn't make them cheats.

Peter de Villiers inhereted a fantastic team, and good for him for not changing it. The fact that he has a good skipper and two great assistant coaches make them a great management team. It doesn't follow that he is a bad coach.

biglenny81. "Idiot" is such an easy word to throw around. This guy has a beter win record than any other coach in world rugby: He's won a British and Irish Lions Tour, he's won the All BLacks three times out of five games, he's won a World Cup with a u/21 team. He's won England twice at Twickenham. Why is he an idiot? Because you don't like the way he speaks? He's probably on his way to win a Tri-Nations as well. Show some respect.

If nobody ever claimed that Richie McCaw was a cheat, he'd still be getting away with it. The Ausie scrum has always been a cheat, anybody remember Matt Dunning and Guy Sheperdson?

PdV is a buffoon, but anecdotally, I would have to say that games involving the Wallabies have more scrum resets than any others.

Storm in a teacup, of PlanetRugby's making. De Villiers pressures the ref by pointing out that the Wallabies are likely to disrupt at the set-piece. Well, he would, wouldn't he. Aussies reply by denying that their primary aim is disruption. Well, they would, wouldn't they. No issue. Just a big 'Scrum Cheat' headline, and further reinforcement of PDV's negative image for the neutral or the reader who's not too careful what he believes.

de Villiers is an idiot. It's such ashame that such a good team has to be headed up by such a fool.

England have been accusing the Wallabies of the same thing for the last 8 or 9 years. Have any other countries complained about this?
