I like the irony.

They should try and get Eddie Jones.

100% A shit system will undermine everything. NSW / QLD parochial powerbroking has cost us alot over the years.

I disagree Lost. I think RA are actually doing ok with their shitty little budget. Except for re signing IF without a gag order.

Agree with this Tex. I do think in the end we had pretty good selections but a myopic gameplan. Rennies challenge is to introduce a gameplan that is appropriate to 2020 - 2023 given the cattle he has to work with. I was originally going to disagree with you on rebuilding the team as I hadn't...

RH Do you have an opinion on how the voting is done at board level? It is my understanding that QLD and NSW have multiple votes, enough to block the interests of ACT, VIC, NT, WA rugby bodies. Is it time to address the voting distribution at board level? Does the traditional model of QLD/NSW...

My feeling is the structure of Australian Rugby needs to be fixed. Also that we have a legacy from JON II where he chased NRL players and jagged a big salary for himself. Tight budgets have forced our hand at management level. Payouts to Di Patinson plus a coaching void left us with Cheika and...

Shit gameplan that hasn't changed since 2014. Players were fit, skilled, well selected and playing for each other. Game plan and therefore the coaching not quite good enough. Opposition just need to defend well and they get the result. Let's thank Cheika for stepping in when we were in crisis...

Set piece lost again. Imploding.

10-9 would be fair. But we always give away soft points. England know what we are going to do. Need a territory game but need to keep playing lots of footy.

If the team listed by Tom Decent is correct then my thoughts are; I prefer White to start. Genia started vs Wales and that was poor. Genia has looked good as a finisher. I think Dempsey over LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) to finish. Need his speed. LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) misses out. DHP to start at 15. Beale misses out Reserve...

We might win the game but get players banned for the semis and final. Talk about Russian Roulette.

The Kerevi crashball might be reffed out of the gameplan. Merdi.

It isn't a big stretch to have a player (Kerevi) take contact and then look for offloads. The side should be coached to run support lines accordingly. E.g. Kerevi tackled by Farrell but offloads to Petaia. Petaia immediately tackled by Underhill and Vinipola but slips an offload to Hooper or...

This could be addressed by putting an extra player into the ruck. Wales disrupted us through breakdown pressure (and side entry).

6. Dempsey 7. Hooper 8. Naisarani 9. White 10. CLL 11. Koro 12. Kerevi with instructions to pass / offload 13. JOC (James O'Connor) 14. Peitau with instructions to support Kerevi all day. 15. DHP Gameplan - Give it to Folau ( just kidding !! ) i) Field position via white / CLL / DHP with good chase...

Yes good evolution team, Shame Lilo needs to be managed, continuity would be good in the halves. JOC (James O'Connor) has been switching with Kerevi on attack but has Kurtley been ovecalling JOC (James O'Connor) ? I prefer KB (Kurtley Beale) from the bench and DHP at 15. To'omua has been good from the bench but deserves to start, he might get 80...

Hard game to assess. Cheika has his work cut out this half time interval.

WTF. Kerevi penalty. Pissweak.

Need more speed at 6 and on the wing. Shame there is no McMahon, I would go with Samu at 6 with Coleman and Pocock on the bench. LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) to bench if there is no Pocock. Wing should be Beale with Banks at 15 and Hodge at 23.
