Just look rudderless

I wasn’t referencing Portugal but Romania and Chile and Namibia games have been more. if you have more teams in the pools how does a knockout game replace a pool game? many ways. I don’t think the answer is more teams. I feel like a lot of drama from this World Cup has been lost post first...

Ya I must say the talk of making this a 24 team comp is pretty bizarre to me 4 teams worse than what’s on offer?

Kerevi is so far from his pre injury best it’s wild. I can’t imagine Japan is helping him either. Wonder if he’s that bad now or is it the game plan?

Why should world rugby be worried?

Either there is no game plan, the players don’t understand it or Eddie can’t convey it. Blessing we’re not in the quarters. Everyone would watch us get pumped by England

Aged well

it's all relative and with the benefit of hindsight - relatively speaking, he didnt suck! rugby systems are the issue. hamish if he sticks around needs to shut the fuck up and get on with the job of reform.

for the record, i think they have to keep jones. review his processes and ensure he is able to bring in the right assistants to ensure the above happens at wallabies level plus can devise and implement the right systems in defence, attack and breakdown and set pieces.

anyways. we are where we are. who are the replacement options if jones goes? i don't think larkham is a contender. i doubt mckellar is coming back this quickly unless you can get ronan, i dont know what your options are. i don't see RA going back to Dingo. I think anyone we hire is going to...

impossible in my mind for anyone to disagree with this and be rationale.

I honestly am not that fussed if he had a zoom meeting with the jrfu. If he wants to go he will go. If he doesn’t, he won’t. I personally think worse of the journo who would break that story before the World Cup intentionally aiming to affect wallabies. Who doesn’t accept a call re a job? Find...

MK was a ghost this world cup. i can't begin to fathom why. he has a crazy work rate off the ball but i wasn't seeing that which makes me think that's what he was told to do? bizarre Kerevi has looked off the pace since he returned to be fair but i dont think we saw any improvement. i will say...

My view is this 1) Hamish oversaw the exit of rennie and hiring of jones. This is early into Jones tenure but appears a mistake. Hamish was lured in by jones' personality and sold a bill of goods possibly. He got too emotional in his pursuit of jones once England sacked him. He should've let...

i really don't think league recruits should be a big focus. we need forwards. we need props. kiwis and south africans over league players. most league players don't make it and we don't need wings - we need centres and frankly 10s. we are unlikely to get those from league.

I don’t think a domestic comp is the answer. Quality will be poor and interest in rugby isn’t that high. I think SRP (Super Rugby Pacific) is fine but needs some adjustments. Pasifika is struggling for relevance but maybe can improve. Is Auckland the best location? I’d say maybe not (western Sydney?) Melbourne is...

Yes it was all the expansion which frankly affected my interest. The kings come over with no player you’ve ever heard of….

I think that was due to the rampant expansion and South Africa. Horrible time zones there. More competition made that even less palatable than before. then add japan and Argentina…. Also bad time zones…. Aus expansion hurt too.

Wouldn’t the solution to more games be more games in super rugby. Go back to home and away with everyone. I.e 24 rounds which is another 10 games. the problem before was South Africa and Argentina time zones. All the time zones are fine now. So play more games. Expand squads so there is some...

What was the problem with raelene again? Scarcely remember. Tho I think she handled izzy poorly
