I can see why Tuilagi was picked over BOD, as an impact player BOD isn't. To be honest, I am really surprised he isn't ramming it down the presses throat, for he knew his team, knew the form players and had a plan, which we knew would work.
I also always said if we're 1-1 going into the 3rd test as a decider, that we'd win, only for we had a proper referee on the pitch and we were so overwhelmingly better in that department, if it was refereed to a Northern Hemisphere interpretation. I am a touch surprised at the score though.

Seriously though, I cannot see who BOD could have replaced in that line-up. Certainly not Davies or Roberts. But as a (crap) forward myself, what would I know about the girls' side of the pitch.

And there's something I just don't like about Gatland; dunno what it is.
Where I was wrong was in assuming that Australia would actually be good.

Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostAnyway, I shall now state publicly that although I still think BOD should have played, it has been confirmed to me that I don't have a bloody clue what anyone with a shirt number greater than 9 actually does, so in future I shall refrain from saying anything about the selection of backs.
The forwards were bloody brilliant; well done to the backs for not screwing it up. Highlights; Jones, Hibbard and Corbisiero pissing all over Australia's attempt at a front row, a ref who cares about the fine art of scrummaging and Geoff Parling's diving tap tackle.
Nobody else even in the media seems to have mentioned that tackle by Parling but it was brilliant, and probably a try-saver.
Incidentally, wasn't it Alexander that kept winning penalties off Vinupola? What goes round comes around!

To be accepted into the upper middle class social circles that your standing as a "nouveau (nearly nouveau to be accurate) riche" entrepreneur requires in modern society will need some basic understanding of:
the rules of rugger
the rules of cricket
One end of a horse from another
when when/when not to tuck your shirt in
how to use something called cutlery
how to sneer at football whilst having your own team to support
laws
