Hough and Louwrens back at training this week. I think it was Talataina too. Stacey Ili gone.

2nd half so far. I’m off to meet my grandson. Gordon and Marky’s confusion both to be blamed; Gordon is not the problem but is pulled. Fix your game plan Eddie; Fines spreading the ball looking good getting it wider; Kicking after 2/3 plays is shit. Only going dead; 2nd half looking better...

I’m rewatching the Fiji game waiting for a call from my wife telling me my eldest daughter is going into labour with my first grandchild, a boy. 1st half assessment. Playing off 9 against dominant Fiji forwards not working; 2/3 plays then kick (White, Petaia) not the right game plan against...

Eddie’s trait https://www.ruck.co.uk/blacklisted-danny-care-reveals-why-eddie-jones-wont-pick-him-anymore/ HOOPER AND COOPER must have told Eddie that his game plan won’t work. GORDON might have reiterated his game plan concerns. All being 100% correct if this is how it rolled out. Game plan...

Game plan, don’t make me laugh. You plan around the strength of your players. Plan A and B depending on the opponent. There was no fucking game plan. Smash and grab remember. The biggest failure was and is still the coaching team without rugby experience. You can’t develop a rugby game plan...

As a proud born Kiwi and a Wallabies’ follower I am in disbelief at what Eddie has done since he returned. I sit here really to watch the AB’s game thinking the shit he has done to these young blokes would never happen in NZ. The young selections without mentors in beyond stupid. Why were...

The player selections were reckless. A clean out and rebuild is acceptable but you don‘t do it one clean swoop. Quade and Hooper should have been there … a given. There are no questions around Carter Gordon and Fraser McReight’s ability and both players are the future of Australian rugby BUT...

In January this year it was my 26th year in Australia from Christchurch. I said once I had lived more years in Australia than in NZ I would then support the Wallabies and the local province I live. I have been in St Kilda for 15 years and since my retirement 2 years ago, I head down to AAMI...

That’s the spirit. Get behind the future of Australian rugby. If the players know the nation is behind them it creates the confidence to deliver.

Player‘s response to offer tick the box Options 1. no interest in playing for your country - end of career 2. suffering illness 3. sook 4. all of the above

Funny Reg? Rennie didn’t and now Eddie doesn’t see potential … do you think otherwise being a former backrow?

Unsubstantiated indeed. Devil‘s advocate; you’re 23 years of age who recently signed a new contact until 2025 and you are selected in the 2nd national team with the opportunity to prove your case in a RWC year and you turn down the offer knowing that the current Wallabies coach is contracted...

BR there is risk with a young and inexperienced test team. The advantage I see is that they haven’t been cultured to lose. I like the selection a lot.

I would definitely say best back. McReight, Gleeson and Brad Wilkin right up there.

Yes. Gordon is the best flyhalf in Australia this year.

Why wait. Your not going to have Gordon, Jorgensen and Donaldson starting in the finals together unless they have proven that’s the best combo.

Eddie’s pragmatic selections will be focused on the future. The new generation of Jorgensen, Gordon, Tom Hooper, Bell, Donaldson, Frost joining McDermott, McReight, Petaia, Kellaway and Valetini is needed. White, Cooper and Slipper just hanging in there with test experience. Quade‘s own...

Donaldson has been in every camp with Eddie. Knows the expectation, the game plans and building cohesion with the players.

Expected. Eddie rates him and from all reports is training a treat. Back up at flyhalf and fullback, and knows Eddie’s system.
