    What point are you making? Robbie got even more lucky with Bryce gifting him a Quarter Final win back in 2011.

    The one and only Wallaby Coach thread

    Yes, very bizarre comment unless Dctarget is found to have the memory of a goldfish.. since it's widely documented that Cooper along with Genia, Leali'ifano, Moore, Tomane, alongside many others, all backed McKenzie during the Beale saga...

    What has McKellar achieved without Laurie Fisher? apart from leading Canberra Vikings to bottom of the table in the NRC lol.. It's 5 years late for Jake White who really should've replaced Cheika after the 2017 Autumn tests, he's turning 60 this year, Larkam is the only candidate who should be...

    The one and only Wallaby Coach thread

    If it's between the two of them you'd most definitely go for Larkam. I used to rate McKellar more highly than Larkam as a coach but discovered that his tenure at the Brumbies coincided with Laurie Fisher's return from overseas. This is a huge factor and must be taken into account when assessing...

    No way that ship has sailed Cheika is 56, but for some reason people saying Larkam's too inexperienced yet he's 49 & has been coaching professionally for over a decade now so if not now when?

    Wallabies 2024

    for unlawful impersonation - a second five eight masquerading as an openside flanker? for keeping Pocock, Gill & McMahon out of the Wallabies 7 jersey?

    Wallabies 2024

    If the ARU had sacked Michael Hooper along with Beale and Co back in 2014 & instead retained Link in Australian Rugby would they not be in a much better off position today? Honest question.

    Wallabies 2024

    Rennie & Fisher's Wallabies put 39 points on Wales playing their injury decimated C team. Eddie's full strength Wobbs managed 6 points even with McLennan providing him with open slather for overseas based players...

    Wallabies 2024

    Exactly, it's as if these guys who are commenting never watched Hoops play in the last 2 years. Hooper hadn't been effective at any level since 2021 & there were better alternatives in the loose forwards anyway... leaving Quade out was the real mistake as he still had a lot to contribute to the...

    He was also prepared to accept the job in 2018 when Castle was set to bring him in before 2019 WC, he always wanted the job.

    In 2013 yes, White & Cheika were the 2 considered by ARU in 2014 after McKenzie stood down. Jake White always wanted the Wallabies job and he should have got his turn after McKenzie.

    Australian Rugby / RA

    ARU rejecting Jake White for Cheika in 2014 after McKenzie resigned was a real sliding-doors moment in Australia rugby, that one decision squandered an entire World Cup cycle (2016-2019) and set Australian rugby back years.

    Cheika had the opportunity to bring Laurie into the Wallabies set-up on two occasions and turned him down both times, he exclusively picks yes men like Eddie.

    It also pays to mention that the same group of influential senior Brumbies effectively bullied Rod Macqueen into stepping down from his role as Wallabies coach because they desired & coveted to run the team above all else. Australian players are simply resistant to any form of authority...

    You would be wrong, Nuicifora had developed Rugby Australia into a global powerhouse by the end of his tenure - No.2 in the world for 3 consistent years before he left (2010, 2011, 2012). During this period the Australian Super teams were extremely competitive against NZ sides and had an...
