I have only just caught up with the Rugby news, but I have to say I hope that Twiggy gets the shits with RA and burns the whole edifice to the ground in some Corporate Armageddon, so we can really get a clean slate. The way things stand I have zero faith that anything at all will change with...

To many seem to have forgotten the year of the massive Tahs side where Foley had them get big to apparently be more powerful. Amazing they had an even worse year even by the Foley stats than usual. Two of the most powerful defenders I can think of Lima and Motu'u are not exceptionally big, what...

I'll do it in that order. I'm sure nobody would mind too much if I added just a couple of names to the list, nobody important will miss them.

you missed out the Connolly cash pay out as well. Almost a season worth of cash gone in that lot of names. Add in the first season of Hunt while he was doing, sorry writing lines for being naughty.

This decision is from left field for nearly everyone. It makes no sense to any of us looking here except to make statements like QC (Quade Cooper) has been in poor form or past it since leg injury/2011. All well and good but know what we do of the Reds and ARU/RA financial position it would make this a huge...

Big difference is that EJ (Eddie Jones) at his time at the Wobs was an innovator. He got it disastrously wrong in a couple of key aspects namely the play by numbers/field zones or what ever you want to call it and the depowering/lowering of important of the scrum. Both of these approaches were well grounded...

My views on the coaching issues are much the same as those on management level antics. Get the process right and the right people and results will follow. Cheika was handed the job on the back of Link's resignation, and a single title at the Tahs. As QH has said ideally he should have had a...

White - No way. As soon as something didn't go his way or he got a criticism wold he throw his toys and walk out, again. Apart from that his would be the most unimaginative game plan seen in Australia outside Hickey/Foley. There are other options, Australian options overseas. In any case its...

We need to get out of the mindset of "finding someone". People are not found, they have a base level of skill which is then trained and enhanced. How many in AUstralia do you think have the dedication of a Wilkinson or Sexton on their goal kicking, or any other facet of play for that matter...

That OK Dru, I know that many here think I wear the tin foil hat already. In some things they are not far wrong, but then Tesla was also considered worthy of said millinery.

Really, the defence that has a success rate of between 70-85% the upper limit being best case? The defence that regularly sees the only thing needed to make a break is moving quickly from one side of the field to the other as the wingers are up and in early? My contention also is the penalties...

Dru you know my views from my long posting on here, being both a Mackenzie supporter during his time with the Reds and the Wallabies (and Brumbies) and not at the Tahs. Being initially a Chieka supporter etc. You will also know my view on ethical administration and practices in business. The...

The difference between those you name missing from the Australian side, were in and out of the side anyway. Only Coleman and Folau were regular starters and IMHO neither would have made that much difference to the nature of these defeats, which closely followed the last losses to the same...

Ah. Ok. I will study the Pink Floyd to achieve enlightenment. Wallabies - Gen x or z or whatever - no chance.

I can't fathom the 4th dimension, but 3D chess can be done, but with players who like to knock the ball out with their hand we don't have the players capable of checkers let alone normal chess, 3D chess in the immortal words of Mr Kerigan "they're dreamin"

The games against the Saffas have to be put into perspective of just how poor they have become with the quota system and political interference. There is no doubt they played well in Dunedin and Brisbane, but the second has to be put into perspective also as the ABs were without Barrett...

Wales really are caught in a bit of no mans land between playing a more complete game and the phase ball rubbish Gatland has had them running out for the better part of decade. They play some wonderful rugby but once they go past two phases cannot do anything with the ball, let alone if they get...

I also note the argument about blooding so many players. Yet Cheika uses this as an excuse for the losses and the mode of loss with e quote about a "young team" conveniently ignoring the fact that even taking the nostalgia Cap for Moore out of the equation over half the side had more than 30...

LMFAO. Welsh not even close to 6N best set pieces. Against the Poms they were dusted in every facet of play except the Lineout.

Second part :- Statistic used in isolation to prove individual points and in individual circumstances/examples yield suspect and greatly questionable results. Over time however the errors that give rise to the poor results are removed and a trend builds. The Wallabies have conceded record...
