USA- Australia: At the Stadium tonight.
Today I got to thinking about how the commentators are so bland as they toady up to the the IRB, the NZRU and SKY TV. When Murray Mexted had some harsh words to say he was basically sidelined for about 12 months.
Also there is a lack of criticism of the referees, except Sean Fitzpatrick saying you couldn't judge the scrums as Ref Clancy hadn't a clue. Then in last nights game we hear that Clancy is an IRD Official in Ireland. He is not even a professional. No wonder he is out of his depth. I remember an interview with South African Andre Watson (one of the best ever) he not only had his own fitness trainer and game analysis person but even his own psychologist!!
And what about all the PR mouthpiece bits all the coaches say. Graham Henry saying how hard it was to drop Mils for Dagg. The correct answer really was; it was easy.
Dagg is playing better at the moment. Emotion doesn't enter into it. As for the disaster about Guilford it seems the AB's only came clean because it was all over the Net about his off field drinking problems.
Probably the hard one is what of 3 relatively slow halfbacks you pick although with Cowans poor form it is between two plus Weepu gives you first five and kicking options. Another weakness about the selections now showing up is the lack of loose forward cover.
