This would be the smart thing to do. He obviously wouldn’t play this week though and it’s academic if we don’t at least level up with Wales on the pool ladder. Otherwise it should be Foley assuming quade is still ignoring calls.

The GBR-Au podcast this week is a good listen (disclaimer: I haven’t finished it yet). Drew Mitchell in particular doesn’t miss.

Not in the quarters.

History has them bowing out in the quarters. Given they will be playing either NZ or France there is a fair chance it will happen again.

So if Eddie is to eat a bit of humble pie (unlikely) and accept that it's experience and not youthfulness we need to dispose of Wales in the required fashion, then we could be looking at something like the below (assuming no squad changes): 1. Bell 2. Porecki 3. Faamausili 4. Frost 5. Philip 6...

I think the top 3 from each pool automatically qualify? Plus we are hosting so even if we lose to Wales and Portugal we're in.

I think it comes down to who the alternatives are - none of the Super coaches fit the bill, maybe Kiss in a couple of years time, but right now I can't think of a coach worldwide who might be a genuine candidate.

A lot, like me, just back the team regardless of who is in it and selecting it. However, the general school of thought is that Rennie should have been kept until after the RWC.

I can understand Eddie's desire to inject a bit of youth into the squad. Even if he were to run with what is largely understood to be his favoured 23, what I can't understand is why he wouldn't largely fill the other 10 places on the wider squad with those experienced players that are topic of...

At the end of the day if we can't get a bonus point win against Wales we don't deserve to be in the quarter finals anyway. I'm expecting us to bounce back though.

Yeah, the reality is that any game plan has to ensure that we score 4 tries, Wales score less than 4 and don’t finish within 7 points of us.

I’m going ok in the RWC one but the Superbru locks the round when there are 4 starting lineups announced. I didn’t realise this would happen and hadn’t even made any changes from the previous week because I thought you would at least be able to make changes to players in teams who hadn’t played...

Breakdown specifically

Yes probably even more likely.

Won’t be surprised now if an ‘injured’ player gets sent home and Foley comes in.

We can still top the pool if we get maximum points. If we don’t get bonus points we might not make the quarters.

3. Donaldson 2. Frost 1. Bell Agree IFL was good but can’t give him points for a 20 min stint so HM for me

Yeah all I’ve seen on the socials is why our first try wasn’t one.

Well that was ordinary. Glad I didn’t get up at 1.30 for that. I’m ok with it provided that the upshot is we come out and put Wales to the sword and come away with maximum points. However that looks doubtful. I just don’t understand the ’kick it away at all costs’ game plan, and can we stop...

Both - probabilities of winning and they set the odds such that the house has the edge. The probability at $1.45 is around 70% of a Wallabies victory. Betfair - which is people (amateurs and pros) betting against each other - are generally the most accurate as it represents the true odds as...
