Whoever is in the photo for us looks like he has eaten far too much of the sponsor's product.

And what happened with the Pirates today ?

A tale of two halves.
Aussies were doing well till the Six Nations Champions turned it on in the second stanza!
At full time, France had come over the top of he Wallabies 42-26 in a very entertaining game of rugby.

The Wallabies have won just one game in their past 10, Rugby Australia boss Phil Waugh has come out in defence of Joe Schmidt, who will coach the side for the last time this week.

True, but it’s a result driven game so I’m giving him an F.
And I’ll be amazed if Kiss can do any better !

I think the tie must have be shutting off the flow of blood to his brain if he believes a 10% win rate in tests is not the main measure of success.Still i suppose he only cares about keeping his snout in the gravy train raking in the dollars.I wonder if he has eyes on joining HBG as he would fit in perfectly with his mindset.

Joe Schmidt has made three changes to his starting line-up with Carlo Tizzano, Brandon Paenga-Amosa and Harry Potter joining the side against Italy

The Wallabies and Italians are very familiar with each other.
This is how their last 4 meetings have gone down.

There was a time when i was young that we wouldn't even consider a test match against Italy being difficult but we have lost our last 2 games against them,our reputation has been in decline for about 20 years and i doubt that it will improve for many more.
