@jmangod, "poey? ......" Were you somehow traumatized during potty training?

@jmanngod, well if Genia cocks up the "gracious in defeat" bit this weekend, he'll have plenty of time to practice as Oz slides down the irb ranking in the next year or so....he'll be tipping his "gracious in defeat hat" to about 5 teams during the inevitable slide.

Jeez, so much rumbling, chest beating and steam letting by our Oz cousins, hey guys is this the same David Pocock who was the toast of Australia after the quarters against SA last year? Talking about hero to zero. Unfortunately you don't know a good think when you see one, the guy had a bad game. He'd be one of only 2 or 3 OZ players with a chance of making a combined OZ/NZ team at the moment, so get real. You throw the kids in against McCaw and co and they'll put their development back by a couple of years.

Wallabies backline needs a little tweaking. N. Cummins should be recalled and put at 13 straightway alongside B.Tapuai. R. Horne put out of the 22 and A. Fainga on the bench. AA. Cooper on the bench and D.Mitchell to start. B. Barnes put out and Q. Cooper at 10. In the forwards - N.Sharpe shipped out to Japan where he continue to fame himself. Also S. Kepu back to the island to improve his workrate and techniques.

I have no doubt W. Genia will make a quality captain unlike D. Pocock. He will be even better than my favourite G.Gregan. But D.Pocock should have never been made captain. He is just no captain material. What did he achieve with the Force in Super Rugby. Ans: Nothing. W. Genia can lead Wallabies to victory on Saturday at Eden Park but he should have a say in sxelection and advise R. Deans to drop S. Kepu and N.Sharpe as well. Bring R.Simmons at lock. Only right selection will help W. Genia and the Wallabies.

Such a selfish player D. Pocock. For personal glory and for fame, he put the entire team in jeopardy and Wallabies lost. Being injured he couldn't even offer 25 per cent to the team. Shame, shame and more shame on you Mr. D. Pocock. This guy doesn't deserve to be captain. Throw him out. Now i get it why Wallabies can't win. It has players like D. Pocock and N. Sharpe who just make things about themselves so obviously the team and teamates will come second. W. Genia is more captain material. Such a shame D. Pocock to cost the Wallabies with his below performance. Why couldn't he be man enouhg to go out and give M. Hooper a chance. M.Hooper is way better player then D. Pocock, who is afraid he will soon lose his place in the team to M.Hooperr and L.Gill.

I expect the wallabies to improve next weekend ,after all their handling and passing couldnt get any worse,schoolboy leval would be an insult to shoolboys everywhere.Even so i dont expect a different result,as the ABs didnt even get out of 2nd or 3rd gear imo,and also will be looking to improve,for their 1st home game of the RC.In fact i feel trhe scoreline will be even worse for Auistralia this comming weekend ,as they left 2-3 tries hanging last match,and they wont want that this weekend.As to Genia being captain ,just who else could it be in DPs absence,no one else imo is a gaurenteed starter

hopefully, "poey" will have given Genia a few tips on how to be gracious in defeat!
