That didn’t age well

Not at all. He’s shit.

How many more seasons do we persist with Vunivalu? He’s just not a rugby player.

Redsredsreds

Jones is a walking nightmare for any rugby club or country. He has completely lost the plot. He’s a shit coach & bloke now. And there’s plenty of evidence he’s declined to this point over several years. Todays reports that he left because RA wouldn’t implement his vision for the whole of Australian...

How close is that to full strength? (2 injured player notwithstanding) Hypothetically it is full strength, other than the 2 injured forwards. Still venting: I just don't understand Eddie chucking in his vaunted gigantic forward platform by including Slipper. That undermines the whole concept. I wou...

Redsredsreds

Yes, Suli surprised and played his best game of union. Let’s see if he can back it up. I’d guess he is still a ways from starting as first choice but not a bad weapon to have. An aerial assault with him and Petaia late in the game could just swing a few in our direction. Still can’t tackle. It’s gr...

What Grevious has said is true. Nah, this conduct by Eddie is a massive indication that the culture within the team is f**ked as well. I’ve dealt with organisations who aren’t performing. They either take the mass criticism as a sign to change things, or they throw their hands up and say “everyone ...

Redsredsreds

You should understand there are few friends of rugby in the media here, some like Rupes Newscorp actively employ journos to try to kill the game off. Its probably worn him down already. Much of the ex rugby public have been conned and corrupted by it. That said Eddie needs to be more professional t...

Reasonable chance Australia won’t go though.
So there’s that.

Grassroots in Melbourne seems to be doing alright. A few of the Wobs born and bred there As a member of a Melbourne club , even played a game this year. I wouldn’t describe the game as being in rude health. I would however describe it as having potential to be in rude health. Juniors are interestin...

Wallabies are almost guaranteed to have 0 wins going into the RWC.

Oh FFS, did the TMO stop you scoring when you had 4/5 bites of the cherry after half time. Aus haven't been good enough TMO or not. Need to look at your team buddy. Oh I was not expecting a win. Overall I don’t think there’s been any biased reffing. I’m saying prolonged stoppages to look at rules a...

I know what you mean. I've just returned to watching international rugby from a 4 year hiatus. Welcome back to the farce.

I bet White is wishing he just took the ball out of that 1st scrum.

What the fudge was Kellaway doing there!?

Apparently it looked like he was trying to catch it..
I disagree but oh well

Australia playing really well I think to screw up the ABs gameplan

Savea was out anyway. Should have been Aussie line out.

Redsredsreds

That’s rough

Rick solid defence so far. Not letting them over the gain line.

Redsredsreds

2 tries, but feels like a sluggish start from both.

Short line out and tap off the top on your own line. WTAF.

Redsredsreds

Mate literally everyone knew that except for the toasters in ARU management. I still feel embarassed for him. He was handed a shit sandwhich which Dave Rennie had just started polishing into something half respectable. The best we can hope for with a coach swap at this stage is not to go backwards....

Redsredsreds

Lynagh I thought was still decent. He was just getting bad ball by forwards. Obviously JOC is more experienced and is a better runner of thy ball. I think Lynagh is the future though. Eddie would be a moron to play Lynagh this early in his career when he's not even physically ready. Agreed. He look...

How big is his current contract? You must know if he’s overpaid, right? Nope. RA negotiated the 1....

Solid move

Why the fudge are front rowers running that high?

Redsredsreds

How would you know anything about league players’ form given you never tire of telling us you never watch it? Like there’s an unspoken agreement that everyone involved will never admit RA overpaid.

Redsredsreds

Worst back three player out there by some margin. I love how commentators in Australia hype up ex league players (regardless of how poor they are) and scream when they have the ball. There are so many outside backs that are better than him so I don't get this hype. How would you know anything about...

Vunivalu still sucks

Redsredsreds

If you look at results against the top 4 teams we have done quite well. 1. Ireland 13-10 loss. Unlucky not to get a draw and we’re a chance for the wun 2. France 30-29 loss. Were in a position to win but for missed tackles 3. NZ 37-39 loss. Would have won but for a poor ref decision 4. SA 25-17 win...

They went right off their feet initially.
Game is a mess.
Nope. Textbook counter ruck.
As in fall over the ball to seal it?

As in the only player who went to ground was the tackler and they weren’t involved in the counter ruck.

Wish it was Tate coming on.

Redsredsreds

Wobs can’t adapt. Irish red zone defence aren’t committing to the ruck and we’re incapable of pick and go phases because it obviously wasn’t exactly what we did at training this week.

Redsredsreds

Kicking was almost perfect against France. Gone again the last 2 weeks.

You must be bloody joking. Maybe have a look at the men in green on that one.

Irish supporters getting pretty nervous on the forum. Wobs must be in with a chance.

Hands on the ducking ground! Right in front of the ref
