He will look good against Portugal but he is definitely inferior to Petaia - big flat track bully.

Playing in a team full of international rock stars doesn’t necessarily make Skelton a leader. I still think Skelton‘s impact is overrated- he’s world class but only in very limited areas (maul disruption and occasionally generating quick ball from static situations), and seems only to be...

Jones recent coaching record is about on par with your contributions to this forum.

Maybe the Wallabies suck and Rennie was doing a good job with the cattle he had available? He clearly was a better coach than Jones.

Tomthumb is a pretty special case. It‘s not a matter of ‘failing‘ - it’s about whether Rennie was better than the alternatives, and according to the evidence, he absolutely is.

BH have a look at the posters who are disagreeing with you and then consider whether you need to put the energy into rational responses.

I’m not 100% certain Rebel man can read.

Oh you’re a troll- I get it.

Is there any correlation between the Wallabies becoming worse as a team, and Will Skelton becoming increasingly important? Did we change our playing style to suit Skelton to the detriment of the overall team?

Do yourself a favour- his input is far more insightful and coherent than the rubbish Rebel Man, Tomthumb, and yourself have ever offered.

I’m at the stage where I think losing and getting kicked out of the pool stage might be the best outcome for Australian Rugby Eddie Jones has been an unmitigated disaster on and off the field. For al the hype around Eddie being a media maestro, his shtick has just become incredibly boring. I...

How will we score tries?

You also retain a lot of goodwill in the sport; ditching an absolute legend in Michael Hooper, and a good servant in Quade; for this outcome? What was the fucking point?

A full strength team under Rennie? We comfortably win our pool and make the semi-finals (which we lose).

You’re the only guy supporting EJ (Eddie Jones) at the moment, and I’m still not sure what it’s based on? We have objectively and subjectively gone backwards.

Fiji started stronger and with a lot more enthusiasm, but they were just hanging on at the end as their set piece started to fall apart. That suggests that fitness was definitely not the difference between the teams (or that Fiji are a ‘fitter‘ team).

Let’s not waste both our time here, but Rennie had basically selected his team and was building towards this World Cup. The team had a rational mix of experience and up and comers (I’m sure that Rennie would have selected Carter Gordon as the second/ third string fly-half to be developed behind...

Ikitau? Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase)? Valetini? Have you been paying attention the last 3 years?

Apart from regular wins against South Africa, France and Argentina?

Uh oh.
