Yeah good point. Carter Gordon has been badly managed and his confidence has been shot. No young flyhalf with very little test experience should be asked to shoulder all the burden especially in a world cup. Well done Eddie! I remember reading how Lolesio was badly managed by Rennie and his confide...

Big calls? Bigger than what?

Eddie Jones is a hot mess.

Olo

No, but there is no one else.

Good to see Kellaway back but Donaldson just as vulnerable, if not more so, than Gordon.
When is the team announced?

Olo

Maybe if Jones asks nicely?

Agreed, Lenny would be an excellent addition to shore up our defence and give us some direction in the midfield.

Olo

First choice would be Quade. Second is Lenny. Don’t we have a couple of other injuries?
Is it 48 hrs before they can play?

Classic Dunny Bill

“My take on this whole ordeal of a game is, I feel for Carter Gordon right now,” Williams said. “Because he doesn’t have a Quade Cooper or (Bernard) Foley to go back to the hotel and say, ‘Bro, these things happen, but you know you will be better’. Pretty sure Berrick Barnes is an assistant Wallabi...

He said it was a particularly tough situation for Gordon, who now needs to salvage his World Cup campaign without any experienced players like Cooper to help him out. “My take on this whole ordeal of a game is, I feel for Carter Gordon right now,” Williams said. “Because he doesn’t have a Quade Coo...

Olo

Do it Eddie! Send shock waves through the rugby world. Call up Quade.

He thrives on doing the unexpected so it might be right up his alley.

Olo

Gordon should be there in the squad but as a second or third option learning his craft so that he might be the guy come the Lions or the 27 RWC. This selection as the only 10 in the squad may in fact set him back as it did with Lolesios early selection. If for instance Lynagh comes through next yea...

Olo

Was the plan to move a less experienced player to 10 and a league winger to 15? I don’t think there was a plan. WTF not?

Rennie lasted long enough to get the worst ever Wallaby coach record, seems unfair.

Until now…..

It could be that Valetini is not buying into EJs game plan, along with White and Kerevi. Most likely a few others too. The majority of fans and experts in the know now question Jones’ methods and selections so why not the playing group? So the anti Eddie group want to go down in flames? :uhoh: No. ...

Hey, he threw straight, theres that small miracle.
I said it but no-one listened!
Wallaby fans are dazed and confused right now. Pick your 2nd team quickly to get some mileage out of thie tournament.

Feels a bit like a knockout punch TBF

Olo

I wonder if Kerevi is thinking he should of swapped to Fiji? Not really suggesting it seriously, but he was certainly not involved a lot was he? Not sure if his injury is keeping him quiet or what? If I am Kerevi and Koriebete thats exactly what I am thinking. They really looked confused with the g...

Also, in form hooker and pinpoint lineout thrower Jordan Uelese is out for 12 days under concussion protocols... :uhoh: Oh dear. His involvement in the game includes giving away two penalties with the second being the match sealer in which he knocked himself out. :lol: Hey, he threw straight, there...

McReight, Hooper and Bobby V are good players, as are some others in the team. There was no direction, no one pulling them together, No decent plan. Skelton is not the bloke to do it. He has limitations to his own game and has not wanted to play for the Wallabies most of the time. Why is an OS play...

Nothing he could do about losing AAA and TT but if we get bundled out history will be unfavourable to his selections and approach. Building for the future is not a viable option for a RWC But it is essential for the next one. We have had too many hangers on for ages, the shouldve couldof argument o...

I'm sorry, where the fudge is this from? Do you have a spy in camp? :lol: Are you blind? Surely now even the EJ apologists have to be able to see this campaign is severely flawed. Fiji were pretty good, but we knew that. No surprises there. We were terrible until the last 10 minutes. Poor coaching ...

Olo

Well done Fiji. Played the game with discipline power and resolve. Congratulations.
A very good win and your people at home will be overjoyed.

Olo

It is an Eddie selection and gamelan problem. I'm not saying Wallabies would be world beaters but we have the players to play better rugby than that. We are in decline but Eddie has accelerated it. He is so arrogant to leave out his experienced campaigners that could have brought that game home las...

Eddie Jones is a terrible coach. How does he keep getting jobs? He said he’s building towards 2027. :o Thats f**king bullshit and a complete cop out from him. Hes a narcissistic bitter little gnome who drops his shit selectively but is impervious to his own repeated failings. We all know successful...

There is no one driving the bus for Oz. Gordon not up to it and Donaldson unlikely

Olo

Carter Gordon…..

Olo

Some of the Aussie kicking from hand this tournament has been shocking. Carter Gordon at flyhalf is half the problem. He’s not good enough and he’s not getting better. Nic White is another liability. We haven’t played well with him on the field in a long time. I think so, he'd probably be a very go...

And the rest came to us.

Tupou is injury prone. Although in this case I strongly suspect they realize how important he is and - no offence - feel like it's a gamble worth taking to give him a rest and not risk playing him at 98% in case he hurts himself and can't play later on. Why Slipper is playing tighthead I have no id...

He is a big boy and he moves like a ballerina. Its bound to happen

If the lineout becomes an issue just put Frost or Arnold at 2 and go to them every time.

Olo

Frost! I like it. Hope Slipper is feeling strong. No Pone as someone suggested he might make it. Not sure about Foketi on the bench. Would have liked to have seen Kellaway in for him or Suli. Good idea to keep Mongo and Schoup together. Uelese will help hold them up. Hope he has been working on his...
