[QUOTE="timmyhoran, post: 146154"] To be honest Wales never looked like winning the game. They were EXTREMELY lucky to get the game at home and still couldn't make in count. Australia shut up shop at half time. Stirlo could have come back on if required but they knew the game was won and there are bigger fish to fry. I don't think Larkam was missed at all. Barnes played superbly. A lot of people in Australia think 18 year old Kurtley Beale, sitting at home is better. Either way Australian rugby's future is looking rosy and if we go forward another 1000 years I can't see Wales ever winning a world cup. Australian rugby has never had depth and we've done alright. Rugby's a 3rd teir sport in Australia so we'll probabaly never have depth. Depth is overrated. You can only have 15 on a field anyway. Saying Australia aren't as good a team without Mortlock, Latham and SMith. Well no ****. Great teams need great players. And Australia's not a great team its an alright team with some world class players. Claiming Martyn Williams a slow, balding, old blood nut is better then George Smith is laughable. Wales and indeed all the NH teams have been very weak at the breakdown (probabaly because the likes of Martyn Williams are playing at 7). They simply don't go at the ball hard enough. The fact that Australia plays NZ so oftern certainly helps our rugby. The NH teams should play NZ as much as they can and learn. They should send the best teams not B teams because they want excuses and are scared to compete. [/QUOTE]
