I think running the ponies hookers with their locks should provide some benefit, but I don't understand why Samu isn't starting, he was the form Aus 7 for most of the test season with Hooper on gardening leave

That seems logical, also with Gleeson at 8

I see no logic in moving our best and most consistent centre (Ikitau) to 12, Hodge appears to be the logical option for 12

Just who is markedly better than the squad options anyway, it isn't like we have a load of "goats" resting at home; and as this is outside the legal test window, the OS club players are locked out

Tahs were down to their third choice THP and were scratching around club land for the bench (bringing it back to the thread) Tahs lose both Bell & HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) and bench will survive starting, but the 5th & 6th choice options .................................

And a known, consistent system, the Ponies will be fine if they don't get trashed for injuries in the wrong spots, like 12 & props etc

But effective, the ponies have been eminently boring for years, but incredibly effective It works

I thought Lolesio could have slotted in at 12

meh, the question is "is Rennie a substandard coach" my opinion is no, he is a quality coach, as was Deans, McKenzie. Cheika etc Now I appreciate it is easier to sack one unit rather then fix the structural problems - so hey, go at it, watch nothing intrinsically change

We don't have a substandard coach, we don't get substandard wallaby coaches, they all get sacked "because they are the problem" and then succeed elsewhere, we have a lack of world class units in general( and too many injuries)

McKellar is the only Australian coach likely to be a replacement, but I would be amazed to see Rennie changed at this stage - there aren't any real upgrades out there My impression is that we are getting near a competitive starting side (valiantly losing the France & Ireland is better than I...

Thankfully we have been rotating so effectively, the players coming in will take it all in their stride ................................

A win against Ireland will be one of the amazing form turnarounds in rugby history

Porecki is the most likely to chuck the ball accurately, the rest are more useful around the field We need a functioning lineout above all, it is the cornerstone of leveraging penalties Every other option needs to spend the summer getting better at that core skill, I remember the story of...

Good to see Coleman having a few truth sessions https://www.theroar.com.au/2022/11/17/its-just-crazy-even-markys-blown-away-by-his-rise-from-sixth-choice-tah-and-a-fiji-flirtation-to-starting-against-ireland/

The challenge is that our "best" kids then get stuck in Super Rugby programs where they train a lot, but don't play much, where the grade teams have no idea usually if they will be available often until Friday or how many minutes they will be allowed to play that week

One of the positives of 2022 is watching him step up

Nice point from the tweeter

So is Canberra

BR Your passion for the ponies does remind me of this at times
