Meh, the way we are playing Chile wont exactly be scared

Aston Villa and Newcastle united both got out of their deals early due to the absolute substandard Castore was producing. Hopefully they have improved

If it was just about work ons I think he would have been in the squad over Hamish Stewart to, you know, work on his work ons. Certainly feels like there is more to the story off the field than has been reported Not picking him in the squad when every other squad he selected had 3 10's in it or...

That assumes that Kiss doesn't think someone has cemented the job. For all we know he might be Edmed's biggest fan It also assumes we know that Kiss will want to play the exact same way with the Wallabies that he does with the Reds. You may well be right but coaches do weird things all the time

He starts him over the other options at the Reds, i struggle to see how that means he will automatically pick him over other options nationwide By that logic Hunter Paisami and Josh Flook is the nailed on centre pairing for the World cup

We don't know whether he likes Lynagh more than the others though, he didn't sign him. Like I said, we will see but how many people this time last year had Tane Edmed as the Wallabies 10

Yeah it's anyone's guess who will be the 10 even next year let alone 2027. The reported lack of involvement Kiss has had makes it all guesswork at this stage, and due to some weird selections we didn't learn anything about our 10's on the end of year tour I'd say Super form matters, but this...

Funniest part is that was probably Tane's best game for the Wallabies

Yeah there was quite a bit of damning stuff Doran said. Not that it's all 100% accurate but it's not as if he just makes this stuff up. The complaints of a lack of communication and one on ones from Schmidt is both disappointing and not really surprising. It kind of mirrors his Irish time when...

Good to know

Yeah I just genuinely think he shouldn't be coaching Super next year, and 100% of his focus should be on the Wallabies from right now. The Reds have a coach that has one eye on his next job (even subconsciously) and the Wallabies get a coach without any runway to prepare properly for the task...

Genuinely curious how the Wallabies have improved over the last 12 months. Last year they beat England and very nearly tipped up Ireland

I hope you're right, but to pretend it was always the plan when Schmidt changed his end date twice is pretty fanciful Kiss is his own man with his own ideas, I'm not sure I agree with the notion that because he was Schmidt's defense coach for 2 years 12 years ago that he will want to continue...

Keep drinking that kool-aid

No of course Joe, it was all planned perfectly and part of the master plan. The months long delay was all planned and the multiple changes to Schmidt's end date wasn't a contingency plan at all As we all know, everything at RA has always been very buttoned up, organized & efficient....
