Wallabies vs Barbarians 01/11/2014 Twickenham stadium

Not really sure what's happened to Saili this year. I still think he had the potential to be a long term All Black but he will have to step up next season (and be starting for the Blues) if he wants to progress.

He did one of two things every time he got the ball this season when I saw him play; tuck the ball and go himself, or put in a stupid chip kick. He showed flashes of skills the year he made the AB's but has fallen off a cliff this season. I'd love to see the stats on how many times he kicks in the opposition half.

Guys like Saili frustrate me no end - all the skills and physical attributes to be very good but they can't put it together.

De Jongh and Saili is a pretty average midfield I reckon. Saili has been pretty awful in the ITM cup.

Ah! A pity. Thanks for clearing that up.

Something waswrong with is visa or passport. Didn't make it to the country

De Jongh has been in some good form captaining WP to Currie Cup success. For the most part he had someone inside him making sure he had that extra half second of time though. If Sai'ili can put in a good delayed pass or give Juan the ball quickly then De Jongh is the perfect type of hot-stepping player to put it to bed under the posts and entertain the crowd with his pop-lock dancing after the try.

Tevita Kuridrani, Henry Speight and Israel Folau together! That's pure dynamite! :boese0556kf::bomb:

Few teams in the world can submit three ball carriers too explosives in their backline, and few teams could stop them.

Should be a fun match to watch. With Ta'avao at TH for the Barbarians the Wallabies should at least get parity at scrum time for a change

Overall you would expect the Wallabies to win resonably comfortably - I'm picking them by 15 points.

Wallabies not cohesive at all. Got a real feeling the ref guided them to that first try as well

 

[Jaguares]

McMahon is THE man
