Reading between the lines of what Phil Waugh said on 2GB yesterday the Eddie saga is far from over - firstly, any discussions with the JRU may constitute a breach of contract, secondly there is a performance review to come and that isn't going to go well for Eddie, topped off with comments that...

Totally understand the sentiment, and appreciate he is a divisive character. However.....while Eddie and Dave are sunning themselves pondering on their next moves, he is preparing for a World Cup semi final with a team that was ranked 11th or 12th in the world when he took over the coaching...

It just makes no sense. Especially if England win with something dubious leading to said victory.

I was wondering while I was watching late in the game with the suss looking HIA's - and I'll admit I don't know what the actual law is - has there ever been an instance in top level rugby of a game needing to be replayed due to illegal tactics by a team? Similar to the Parra/Manly (?) loig GF...

wow

Yeah I’m on board with all of that. Yoda, the ghost is certainly not in the minority camp.

That would be correct. That, and the fact that they turn up to the first national training session not adequately fit, after a full professional season. It is a right royal mess.

In defense of both Cheika and Eddie we haven’t seen the same ‘musical chairs’ shit with either the previous England or current Argentina sides. So perhaps the reason for that is that in both those countries the basic skills required to perform at the top level in a particular position are...

Occam’s razor. Our developmental pathways are crap.

I have been told that despite the criticism of him in the media and on here, the players generally all love him. Both Australian and Argentinian ones. If someone has evidence that disputes that I am all ears.

NZ by 30

Best game of rugby ever. I have teenage kids texting me the same thing, that can only be good for the sport. Now onto my punting club mates….. It’s interesting that no one has commented on the amount of easy shots at goal that Ireland passed up on. Not that I dispute them, I think they...

No time given that I am aware of

This shit has no place in a rugby forum and will presumably be deleted by an admin

I was talking to the father of one of the boys in the NSW squad yesterday and he is absolutely appalled at how shit the basic skills are. And some of the clearly political selections (not so much this lot, just generally) but that’s for another thread.

I honestly think it will be either Robbie deans or Michael cheika. The former I reckon got harshly criticised when the real problem was the code in Australia was commencing a rapid downward spiral. The latter is massively passionate about Australian rugby but was not very passionate about his...

So what's all the silence about? Are they just putting the press release together?

Some old mate put a fairly tasteless selfie up yesterday from a plane with a few Wallabies sitting in cattle class in the background. He copped a bit of a berating for it from non-aussies which I thought was pretty admirable actually. Point being, I think they have already snuck back into the...

Some of the Sydney subbies clubs have juniors programs - Chatswood, Hunters Hill, Drummoyne, Mosman come to mind. They are aligned with the Shute clubs when it comes to playing rep footy - e.g. Mosman = Norths, Chatswood = Gordon, etc

I’ve decided I’m officially a France supporter for the remainder of the tournament
