What system is failing Tate from practicing his box kick every day? or stopping Gordon from taking kicks every day? Surely adult professional players need to take some ownership over their skills (or lack thereof)? Aaron Smith used to be a rubbish box kicker, but dedicated himself to improving...

The lack of improvement in McDermott's game is typical of most current Wallabies. I really wonder what extra's these guys do skills wise outside of training. How McDermott is still so bad at box kicking and passing is really not good enough. Nor is Carter Gordon not being able to goal kick, nor...

What type of coach do they respond to?

The Italian rugby team didn't get that memo

I've watched him play plenty, from back when he was struggling for the Reds. He's decent around the field, but very poor technically at scrum time, goes in on an angle far too much and exposes his ribs far too easily. I've seen him worked over plenty of times, he would have ended up struggling...

So AAA isn't good enough but Sam Talakai is? Talakai is a 32 year old career journeyman

1. He's only 29 2. What Better options? We had to watch Pone and Zane get lifted off the ground and pushed 10m back every single scrum, leading to James Slipper having to play there

Take over what? Driving the team bus?

Wait, are you saying AAA isn't good enough to play test rugby?

Exactly, that interview sounded a lot like he was trying to sound committed without ruling himself out

He also is the first AB coach to lose a pool game. NZ played 3 good teams at the World Cup , and lost to 2 of them He was also completely sidelined by Schmidt and Ryan Hiring him would be a travesty

Foster? In what way is he the best at anything?

Ignoring all the other one-eyed nonsense in the post, this is the worst. It’s demonstrably untrue and totally disingenuous to claim It’s just the classic “I’m not blaming the ref, but…” I don’t hate NZ, just wish AB’s fans accepted the result without the “but”

The first yellow was correct, it was reckless with a high likely hood to cause injury (which it did). Ardie’s call was marginal and I could pinpoint calls like that for both teams, The “missed forearm” only seen in grainy still images instead of videos? I wonder why? What non call of head...

Was it? The only issue you seem to have is the amount of phases that went after Ardie Savea knocked the ball on. If that was the other way round I'd have no doubt you'd be supporting the decision What other calls were wrong? This just feels like sour grapes. It's always someone's else fault, NZ...

And you're the one that cant see the difference between wins and losses

?

Funny how you put a caveat on this game, but make no mention of Ireland playing with the 3rd string 10 & Scotland without Finn Russell You just pick and choose which excuse to make to fit your narrative

We lost to NZ by 3 points though, so that must mean we were good in your bizarre world of mental gymnastics

As Bill Parcells used to say: “You are what your record says you are”
