Putting aside how good it would be for Australian rugby if the Wallabies win the series. A losing series, especially if its 0-3 to Australia would mean an unhinged Eddie going against the Pommy Press.

Is that meant to be; both should have gone or that Beale never was an option at being forced out?

Has Australian rugby ever been about running it from inside your own 22 though? I would have thought Australian rugby was playing smart rugby and reducing risk. So if you're in your 22, you clear it and give your defence an opportunity to turn the ball over. For how much Deans got mocked his...

But even when Cheika had the power to make changes he didn't. He oversaw what must have been the worst Wallabies defensively and didn't make the necessary changes required.

Or if a ball being deliberately knocked down was consistently reffed.. That Eden Park game in 2019 where we were absolutely spanked after winning in Perth took a few drinks to numb that pain.

Eddie Jones knows Michael Chieka Rugby like the back of his hands. Actually, now that I think about, every international coach knows how to counter Michael Chieka Wallabies; kick the ball deep into the Wallabies 22, Put pressure on the line out and pop-gun Foley, get the ball back at the 25m...

The fact they had to implement a change in 2015/16 (?) and ad campaign introducing a "No-Ads" means it was a problem before, yeah?

This has been the biggest change for me. Actually quiet refreshing not having another betting or shitty beer ad blasted at me every injury break. I'll never buy a bloody Yenda beer out of spite of the same ad being repeated in the same block of ads when rugby was still with Fox.

Always does my head in seeing Reece in person when his biceps dwarf his calf size. Didn't Nathan Sharpe have a similar issue that he had to spend time in the gym working on lower body exercises?

TIL - Quade repeated Year 12.

Nope - Quade finished in 2005, Matt finished 2007. When Quade and Matt finished school, we had Berrick, Huxley and the last year of Elton.

Ah, you've probably given yourself away as never turning up to a game. If you did, you'd know the cost of 2 golds and some chips will help keep the lights on + give us another round of fireworks during the halftime show!

Yeap - what is factually incorrect about what I posted? If anything you proved the point. The liabilities that Folau has/had were overcome due to the athlete he is/was.

The Wallabies put up with a full back that couldn't kick or pass and hated gay people because he was "good in the air". So shouldn't be a problem.

Sheesh - with how many Reds the Rebels are signing or planning to sign along with how many Rebels are playing QPR, is Rugby Victoria actually developing anyone or is it up to the other states to pony up the cash? At this rate we may as well move the Rebels to be in Toowoomba and have two...

For a bloke who's game plan is to smack people hard, why didn't he do that when he was actually picked in the Wallabies last year? Reminds me of the hard on some people and coaches had for picking blokes like Timani and Chisholm. Huge athletes but absolutely never delivered or lived up to their...

There's a reason we almost won against the All Blacks with Hodge at 10. The Wallabies and the back line can actually perform when you have a fly half that takes the ball to the line and ensures the defensive line isn't able to just drift and stifle the opposition. Quade, James and Noah all...

Once the blokes that carried him aka Gregan, Larkham, Mortlock and Roff retired, what did he win again? Was some pretty lean years in Gold and even Brumbies/Force during the years he played.

Even if the Dolphins were going to throw bulk money at him, just driving to/from training would mean his petrol bill will eat into that extra cash.
