We are closer to actually addressing the real problems? People are now actually talking about the fundamental lack of skills in our players? ARU doesn't have to worry about counting how much money is in the bank? That's it I think.

You realise the defence was just as bad when Horne was at 13. It just isn't Kerevi, its the crap systems. The same crap systems and attitudes that saw the Tahs end with their worst ever defensive record. 50 missed tackles in a test match. That isn't just Kerevi.

How about these players who want to be paid to play the game go back and play week in week out at club level and actually learn to pass, kick, run a support line etc to earn the money they are getting. I've no doubt they are the best available, but not one of them is better today in any aspect...

As I have posted before, it is easy to attack the individuals involved with the ARU board and executive, and I am guilty of it as well. I have no doubt that they (mostly) believe the rubbish they spout, and do not doubt at all they honestly think they are doing the best for Rugby. The problem is...

Kurtley Beale Wallabies best. FFS, like anybody should be given an award for that. As for John Eales, just F%$# off, ARU board member you've done plenty for the game in recent years.

LOL :( Here we go.

The second half "comeback" will be used to excuse the limp effort, just woeful defence, so many rush up defenders do nothing. What has Grey done in the last 2 years in any team he has been with? What has changed from the side that had such a good defence in 2015? On attack the Wallabies...

Yes it would be, but parochial bullshit does nothing except cloud the issue which is a fundamental lack of skills, across the board. Like how can a halfback (Phipps) not be able to throw consistent accurate passes. If the harbour bridge pass was an outlier it wouldn't be a problem, or Foley...

Commentators trying their best to put a good light on this capitulation. ABs basically turned off at half time and started playing touch footy before half time with bombs and cross field kicks from their 22. Do we really think there was a "comeback". How many missed tackles did the Wallabies...

SoJ please don't try and turn this into some parochial shite. I think there is a general derision of everyone in this side tonight.

and board member, just saying.

What an absolute embarrassment. Foley said he was hurt by the questioning of his pride in the jersey. Well here is one for all of you - Unprofessional, entitled, skill-less pretenders. To think that you get paid to serve this shit up. 30 missed tackles in one half of rugby. When we consider...

Did I? It was not the intent if I did and can't be arsed going back now. "This isn't the EPL or La Liga, they aren't that good that they warrant been watched despite not having any allegiance to" and this goes for the NRC and unfortunately the Australian Super side also.

Where have I said I don't respect it? I have watched my share of NRC games as its rugby. The debate is not about that. It is about keeping the game alive long enough to grow it and for the reasons stated my honest opinion has always been the NRC doesn't meet that criteria. It is not myopia, I...

As I've said here many times, I have no affiliation to any club either, and apart from my Alma Mata have never been a member of a club for various reasons, mostly work related. BUT I watch as I said Rugby, regardless of who is playing, though this year I turned off many of the Australian Super...

Not really they may not be spending their own budget, but they are spending. Also they are spending non monetary capital.

I have watched the televised games. I watch the Top 14 Currie Cup and NPC as well, if its Rugby I tend to watch it. My comments are indeed from what I have seen. As per my other comments on numerous threads I live a long way from any games, not metro type long way, country type long way, so I...

People often attribute negative motivators to people/leaders who achieve negative results. It would be ridiculous for anybody to think that Bill Pulver came into the CEO role with anything other than the best of intentions for Rugby and he honestly would have thought he had the skills to do the...

Would love to say yes, but I unfortunately don't get to any Shute games these days as I live in Regional NSW these days, but you never know, I may be able to make a "work" trip to Sydney. I have managed the odd Super game and my yearly Test match, but that's unfortunately my representative...

You miss the point Michael, entitled and self centred statements from somebody who doesn't watch the game. I'll watch Rugby regardless of who is playing generally, though the I dropped out of the Australian Super Rugby games this year because of the lack of quality. I find it strange that...
