Time to change coaches?

My realistic assessment. England - 20% chance of winning Wales - 49% chance of winning Scotland - 30% chance of winning Ireland - 10% chance of winning 1 from 4 is par. More than that is a big success. 0 from four is disappointing, but probably the most likely outcome

Not sure why anyone is remotely confident against England. We are 1 win from the last 11 matches against them, and especially in England it they haven't even been close

Much as I want to hate on them for sending out the reserves, they probably kept the game afloat here by turning up in 2021, with a COVID quarantine and all. Three very fun games and what I thought was a great initiative playing one of them on a Tuesday night which we appear to have completely...

Pocock played 12 at school next to QC (Quade Cooper) didn't he?

Not sure you necessarily need to have actually played

About that...

Yep. Reds and Force are in the same camp on Wed/Thurs I think. This isn't a Wallaby squad. It's a Players of National Interest training camp

Edmed is there in another photo

I kind of get the feeling it's just about everyone. Apparently the press only got to see Sua'ali'i doing passing drills with some of the more high profile players today Edit AAP has a photo if you have good eyes

And playing to a game plane where he is asked to pass literally once in the game is the cherry on top

Acl was 2 Aug 2022. Kerevi's only played 8 games total for D-Rocks since then. Hopefully gets fit

I wonder how close to a team we could get just selecting ex-Wallaby captains

My understanding is the licence to participate was offered to VRU, as well as the same grant offer that every other licensee recieved. VRU couldn't source sufficient funding to operate the team (probably because of the training gounds etc, no sharing costs with the men's team etc). They were...

RA centralising the Rebels in late 2023 would have been a farcical decision

The rumours were that the Rebels were pretty keen on centralisation, for obvious reasons. The administrator stated this meeting happened in October 2023. I suspect that influenced RA's decision-making around who to centralise. The Tahs announced the centralisation in Nov 2023.

If they are this, it's because their members have made them this (members include VRU and MRRU)

It's pretty boring on a forum, but at some point, I reckon you just have to trust that the very experienced international coach, whose job is on the line, who sees all his options at training everyday and who watches far more footage than any of us could ever do, knows what he is doing with his 10s

Once the license is granted it can't be taken back, unless the member gives it back (the Force did this in return for $$$ for their IP), or call in an administrator (which happened to Rebels) As per above, VRU and MRRU were (are) voting members of RA. They have a say in how RA is run and the RA...

This misunderstands the role VRU and MRRU have with RA. They are not-sub to them, it's the other way around. They were voting members of RA and get a say at AGMs and EGMs. They can vote to remove the RA board or chair - RA represents their members RA has no say in how VRU or MRRU is run
