[QUOTE="Derpus, post: 1134280, member: 76427"] I know you guys had an acrimonious parting but Eddie still built one of your most successful sides in recent times. I also think your slide in form has been as much about available talent as coaching. Rassie on the other had is a whining **** who undermines officials publicly in order to attempt to garner an advantage. I know I'm biased but **** that bloke. Worst bloke in rugby (yes including Dane Coles). Onto the actual game: this is, in my view, a fairly experimental side and probably a fair way from our best team. Eddie is trying some blokes out to see if they are worth persisting with early. Specifically: Skelton, Arnold, Hooper (T), Vunivalu, Nongorr, Uelese. Besides Skelton (who i think has earned a shot) none of these guys qualify as first choice or, in some cases, even bench players. I think Vunivalu in particular is just straight up ****. Don't know how he went from NRL winner to scared to run but I don't understand why we are persisting with him. I don't personally understand the interest in Arnold. Sure he's been fine in a good club team. I think we have better proven locks in Australia who should be getting a shot. Hodge at 12 just screams pedestrian. Boks side looks a little odd but I'd say more than enough to get over this fairly patchwork Australia side at altitude. I'd tip Boks by 20+. [/QUOTE]
