Yeah that’s right, but according to a few here our props should come straight out of school and have the size, power and mobility of a 29 year old. Maybe if we could just understand the growth curve and look at where they were 12 months ago to where they are today, they might have a chance. A...

He is 21! Look at the size difference from just a year ago. Tupou is massive and gave away 4 penalties. This size thing at that age is just ridiculous. They also need to be useful around the ground. Do you not remember Lambert 3 years ago? Lambert just had his best game for the Tahs and is 24...

True, that’s a lot when you consider the full extent. Gleeson was phenomenal last night, Aust might do well against the BILs to think of playing 2 on ballers.

And doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome is insanity. Obviously insane.

Well take any publisher you like or forum or wherever you want to pull it from, you won’t find a single Wallaby tight 5 in any of them for 20 years.

Who said the North??? You’re making up your own suggestions and arguing against them. NZ & SA yes, they have all the WC’s for 20 years, so yes I would go where the best are coming from, the same way that Australian League coaches excel in the UK. It’s pretty obvious. I know not 1 serious rugby...

So you couldn’t name one and resort to roundabouts there. These local coaches in 20 years have not been able to produce a single player on that list, despite many being long tome coaches here. The players are technically just not in that space and you must be the only supporter that thinks that...

Really? Name any Australian tight 5 forwards that have been nominated for the World Rugby Dream Team since 21 or say from 2010-2021 in Planet Rugby’s Dream Team? Our scrum was a joke well before Jones took over and has been for over 15 years

Tom is a great operator. I thnk we need more overseas experience in our forwards and specialists. Its our achilles heel.

Pretty sure he has played 1st Grade all year and pushed Isaac Kailea back to reserve 2 weeks ago. Big ask coming up against any of the BILs but at 21 he does have a good future and has come back this year from a major leg break in SA last year while playing in U21 WC. We will see how he goes...

Absolutely and finally not one of the inner circle or director related appointments.

Some short memories here, Im sure Dave Rennie won’t be sending Morgan any Christmas cards. I doubt Mckeljar would be thinking that highly of him either. https://amp.nine.com.au/article/e1bd7fc7-1d98-4b1d-ae7b-0efe53fbb928

Follow the thread before you post. Like you, he makes half baked comments.

There were plenty of players, assistant coaches and administrators saying that was exactly what would happen. But hey a bit of old boy networking can be overlooked as well as the stupid comment about McKellar.

L Like when he plastered himself everywhere in the media to help Eddie Jones get the Wallabies job?
