[QUOTE="The_Wol, post: 526844, member: 37787"] Reason 1: Robbie Deans. To be perfectly honest when Robzilla first came onto the scene for Australia he did some great things, it took him less than a season to change Quade Coopers ridiculous hairstyle to something alot more sensible. He paved the way for David Pocock to become one of the best opensides in the world by giving him more game time, he selected strong teams based on form. However lately Dingo has picked his teams based on his personal fave's rather than the in form players i.e. Drew Mitchell over Dom Shipperley, it took Mitchell doing his yearly party trick of snapping his hamstring to get Dom a look in. Reason 2: Players. Pat McCabe being played at center, Rob Horne existing, Berrick Barnes not having his kicking licence revoked and Nick Phipps in general. These are all problems Robbie the Reindeer needs to address, look at Patrick McCabe, the man is a giant, he runs hard, makes meters is an amazing player, his only weaknesses are he runs straight and he has the passing game of a double hand amputee, put the man at full back or wing... Rob Horne, yes okay he's an alright fella, he's not bad.... he's just not... anything really. (Don't get me started on Dave "The Ghost" Dennis) Berrick Barnes... yes I hate him we all know this, he kicks to much end of story... then we come to Nick "What is going on" Phipps... seriously Nicky boy is probably the 48th choice Halfback in Australia, he constantly looks like he has no idea what's happening or what sport he is playing, I'd have picked Richard Kingi or Matt Dunning before him. Reason 3: The team is a mob of babies. Never in my life have I seen a bigger mob of girls playing for our national team (In fact real girls would probably be tougher than these guys). They are all sooks, once the going gets tough they give up i.e. any time we've played New Zealand. Bring back the men of old, who took hits like boxers and dished them out like it was going out of style. Reason 4: Everyone is better than us. Pretty much explains itself, gone are the days of Australian dominance, ushering in a new era where we routinely get demolished by Scotland and Italy. Reason 5: Global Warming. Recent studies have shown that Global Warming is the number 1 reason for Australia losing Rugby Union matches. [/QUOTE]
