Is that semi-pro/amateur or what? Old school scenes alright

Class. Love ballymore, many great afternoons spent there. Lucky enough to play on it too.

Such a pity James o Connor was a mad man. What a player.

There seems to be more Super Rugby players frontlines involved.

The hard living seems to have really impacted him as a player. He seems to have been fairly copped on for the last 5 or so years.

Himself, Quade and Kurtley never lived up to their potential.

Genia, cooper, o Connor, Barnes, Adam Ashley cooper, Ioane and Beale was some back line.

Throw in Foloua and drew mitchell as well.

And Giteua

If only they had a pack.

Front row even, Pocock and Hooper were good. I think some English prop half killed one of them in some test about 10 or 12 years ago, Aussie lad went off in a neck brace.

Nathan sharpe, rocky elsom, pocock, hopper, Skelton and Stephen Moore were all around that time too.

Twas two propers they were after.

Like Munster really.

The 2007 World Cup quarter final in Marseille is a pivotal moment in Australian rugby.

Andrew Sheridan ruined them.

The reaction of Australians was to blame scrummaging. They then tried to change the rules and blame everyone else for their shortcomings there.

Once Australia lost there, the arrogance dropped and they lost their mojo.

Pocock was far, far better than good
