And also to brand him with the nickname...'Dickhead'

Anyone know when the side gets announced AEST?

Anyone know when the side gets announced?

Taking into consideration the playing conditions (over 30 degrees), the significent lead, and a long tournament where players need to preserve their stamina where possible, I think the Wallabies deliberately took their foot off the accelerator. A commentator remarked how the forwards would have...

That's a very pithy statement. Carley's one lack of judgement was allowing Wales too many penalties in their 22 without an early warning. The Fijian yellow card was a professional foul. Fiji as a team are even worse than the Wallabies when it comes to conceding penalties, though the latter...

My take on Kellaway/Donaldson in the No 15 jersey from Eddie Jones' point of view is that Jones sees Kellaway as consistent, reliable, and that this is as good a time to rest him for the following reasons. (But that he is the number one choice as fullback is a given). With Donaldson, Jones is...

More importantly, why didn't coaching staff who have communication via water boys with the backrow players advise them to adapt?

But putting everything into perspective, the poms have been very disorganised and probably thought Fiji would be an easy game, whereas Fiji really had something to prove. What Fiji have done is alert the Wallabies that they won't be an easy game.

This was an absolute white wash of the AB's by the Springbok. But the AB's ill discipline cost them numerous penalties, yellow cards, and a red card. This game is an indication that if you are to have any chance of winning the RWC, discipline in play has to be a top priority. Just ask Scott...

Your surely on the wrong thread. Look up 'Club' thread.

After consideration, I have come to the conclusion that Wil Skelton should not be the Wallaby captain - why not? Nothing against the individual, or even his past experience (or lack of) to captain the Wallabies. It is for rewarding a player who has opted to play overseas. His address is now...

If I was Eddy, I'd make sure they don't use rugby social media until they are no longer in the RWC.

Fixed

Skelton as skipper you'd think would lead the team out so he'd play first half plus some. McDermott as VC would play the 2nd half after White. If Skelton has an injury, then White (or McReight )would be the interim leader through the remainder of the 1st half. If McDermott is injured in 2nd half...

'Stuff', meaning you got a short memory?

I suspect Hodge to be in the squad; who is very versatile as a utility player covering just about every back position, plus with a cannon for a kicking boot - very handy for a 60 metre penalty after 50 mins.

And what does a 'proper LHP' look like? Please don't say Schoupp.

This game may well be Ulese's last chance to perform. If he doesn't, then Faessler & Lonergan might both be on the plane to RWC. (why can't players have simpe names like Smith, Jones, Ash, etc?)

Bet365 is paying $11.00 if Aussies win or a tie. Worth a dabble for me. Especially when I discovered I had $25 lying in the account for the last two years I'd forgotten about.

I'm confused. Where is the logic in that? I mean, Longeran hasn't had a run with the Wallabies either. :rolleyes:
