The last few years have been tough for wallabies supporters, however, this is the best opportunity for Australia to look at itself, restructure, and come back strong, like they used to be back in the 90's and early 00's. Australia were the first country to win the cup twice, and almost (if not...

Forget Eddie - he isn't going anywhere. All assistants except for Palmer have to be replaced next year. The most important thing that needs to happen is for Eddie to bring in a highly credentialed defense coach. In 2003 Jones had the pioneering & innovative Muggleton as defense coach, McKenzie...

It genuinely annoys the hell outta me how little rugby the Aussies actually play. They play only 14 games every year. Contrast that to the premiership where teams play 18 games every calendar year excluding the premiership cup and the challenge cup. There are 26 games per season in the top 14...

Hmm, I genuinely wonder who's the Head of High Performance of the No.1 team in the world currently I have to wonder... Could it be that same bloke who from 2008-2012 held the same role in Australia & had Wallabies consistently at No.2??

I sincerely believe that turfing Fischer was actually the biggest fuck up under McLennan - even more so than sacking Rennie. When Laurie joined the coaching staff late last year they were absolutely relentless at best, scrapping like a pack of wild dogs and fighting tooth n' nail for every...

Rennie, McKellar, Fischer (credential-wise) was quite possibly the most impressive Wallaby coaching staff in 25 years and Hamish McLennan inexplicably blew it all up for the Eddie Jones one-man-band show. Fucking unbelievable.

That's really besides the point. Rennie recognized the significant Pacifica element in this team & he tapped into that aspect strongly. Rens brought out the best from the Pacific Island boys through empathy, care & meaningful connection. I doubt Eddie has a loving bone in his boomer body...

Absolutely right, aren't the Wallabies strongest ball-carriers, most effective line-breakers, and most dangerous attacking players all of Fijian origin? Koirobete, Vunivalu, Nawaqanitawase, Kerevi, Valetini, Gleeson, etc.. yep Fijian rugby is totally to blame here...

*At this stage... RA will be wretched & desperate after Australia crashes out in the quarters... so wouldn't rule it out entirely. https://www.espn.co.uk/rugby/story/_/id/38242958/rugby-australia-announces-strategic-reset-market-high-performance-director "We're in market at the moment for a...

It comes with the lack of genuine experience... the Wallabies finished the game looking like: 9 IFL 10 Donaldson 11 Koro 12 Foketi 13 Petaia 14 Vunivalu 15 Nawaqanitawase. With respect to some fine players there, there is a complete lack of leadership & experience on the field when they most...

Maybe I'm the guy ranting in the video? you can let it all out mate, this is therapy for us all.

David Nuicifora has built an incredibly effective development system, has maximized returns with a small pool of players & enhanced the nation's overall depth ten-fold. He is the genius that Australian rugby don't deserve. His achievements with Ireland will almost certainly endure longer than...

I remember all you guys blasting Rennie for his training intensity, it was all Dave's fault, the injuries. It clearly wasn't, it's just your blokes are made of teflon.

Um, but they don't really? Pocock 1.83/103kg, Marx 189cm/115kg. Australia's best no.2 since Pocock started - Moore, TPN, Latu, BPN, all of these guys were 117kg+ the latter were all massive explosive ball carriers and added much needed weight to Australia's scrum. Pocock is considered small...

I agree, unfortunately I can't see the Wallabies making it past any top 4 teams with McReight there, Australia just doesn't produce modern 7's that are dominant defenders and shift bodies at the ruck, too many players are not being developed appropriately at the lower levels to maximize their...

Eddie is going down the youth path, a pretty concerning approach to take leading into a world cup, cleaning out the experienced heads & stronger personalities, just as Robbie did going into 2011, and the team subsequently fizzled under the weight of pressure, Genia 23, Cooper 23, Ioane 24...

People need to remember that Rennie didn't have much of a base to work off because Cheika clung firmly to his favourites & did very little to develop for the future after 2015. Rennie faced considerable obstacles unlike any coach in the last cycle (Post-2019 World Cup Exodus, Isolation - less...

I would argue the opposite, Eddie has always been about Eddie, his destination is all that matters - and ultimately the route used to get there is irrelevant to him, he doesn't give a stuff about who he tramples on along the way, burning through players, assistants & quality people, he sent Ewen...
