Deans and Harris.. two Kiwis cost us the game. It will be happy days when Deans contract finally expires.

Harris couldn't get a New Zealand Super Rugby contract, so he went over to Australia and become their second best second five in two seasons. On top of that over the last two season when they have played their second string side they've lost to both Samoa and Scotland, which just shows that the depth in Australian rugby union is non-existent.

Now the question yet again needs to be asked, why do they have the same amount of Super Rugby teams as New Zealand!? They need to get a proper provincial competition set-up if they want to grow the game, instead of having three Australian teams out of their depth every season, compared with only one NZ team and two SA teams.

Tbh what were they doing playing that test then though, three days after the end of Super Rugby and four days before the Wales tests.

Both of those points along with the hiring of Deans make you wonder what the hell is up with the ARU...

Never trust in a Kiwi A South African on the other hand always gets the job done. Wallabies still have no idea how to play in wet conditions, on paper that side should have been good enough.

In the Brumbies case definitely. They've gone from being worse than the Force to the best Aussie team under White.

And our cricket team has been going alright.

Also your football team's coached by a German, and your basketball team's coached by an American. So essential your only main international team that's coached by one of your own is your League team.

Battle between the ABs and the Kangaroos to see which one will crack and hire a foreign coach then!

First test of the year tonight, I'm pretty exciting to see how the new guys go.

 

[aussie1st]

Boy the ABs look good, can see them causing some big problems come Tri Nations time. Savea was awesome, looks like you guys have one wing spot sorted.

 

[CG123]

Pretty good performance to start the season off with. Savea and Smith were outstanding on debut.

 

[barmyarmy]

Pretty big win. Could Scotland be the only NH series winners?

 

[Jclarke75]

Good win by the Aussies

 

[aussie1st]

Genia was our attack didn't have much else but guess that is only to be expected without Quade, Beale and JOC. Vuna looked alright with ball in hand.

Wales lol. Borrowing a page from their new, southern cousins with a brainmelt on the cusp of halftime.

fearsome tweak yeah, Harris redeems himself. No thanks to Adam-Ashley Cooper for making it harder than it should have been.
