So the QRU have learned nothing then.

I don't really care what you guys and girls do with it. I was replying to a specific post stating otherwise.

they still did it after the match, even though they lost.

Great work by the Aussies to top off a very good year. Some very, very skilful players out there.

They do - just in different threads and discussions. But the original post that sparked this: deserves to be answered.

"the ARU have seen that skills aren't as good as they could be and found someone to improve them" @Sully - that is exactly what my problem with this whole situation. I find it unbelievable that Phipps (and others in their respective fields) can't identify their own issues and fix them up...

"When did that happen? When ball was slow\messy and receivers aren't ready. The outcome when that happens to Phipps is a less than average but clearly faster clearance." ^^^^That is not nuance.

Oh come off it. @fatprop is defending Phipps just one post above yours with "it's other people's fault". Ignores the fact there are clearly many examples where he has passed poorly when there's been no pressure (out scored by Rod Davies with static ball ffs even!). There is simply no excuse...

And I'll go by the empty seats, the downgrading of the springbok seats at Lang park and the low ratings numbers over a couple of forum posts as evidence of whose right or not. Our guys are not playing well and it's bad to watch.

Oh come off it with taking offence on behalf of the players - that's just taking the SJW bullshit to a whole other level. Their skills this year are significantly worse than in previous years. If they are PRACTICING their hardest and this year's drivel is the best they can do, then how the...

@froggy read what bob dwyer said about Phipps passing. Read what mark Ella has written about Australia's skills this year. @cyclopath: people in a competitive environment who choose to not improve are electing to lose. If you are happy with the standard of play by the Australian rugby players...

Yeah, I guess you few are right. He should definitely not bother to try and improve in any way at all. Ffs, this "he's so speedy and that's why he throws them around all over the place" are just plain wrong. His service against England was slow. It was still inaccurate. His speed is not the...

You have missed the point of the protests.

That DNA comment is very disappointing. I am happy for Stiles though.

It hasn't because it isn't a myth. You are just wrong in your assessment. He has a significant deficiency in that area of his game and he needs to work hard to improve it. There has been little evidence this season to suggest that he has.

I don't know about Stiles as HC of a super rugby team so am not disappointed in him being given the nod as such. Stiles' appointment does not give an immediate answer to whether the QRU have learned anything or not. He might well be the right guy for the gig, but he could well be the...

its largely due to supply and demand. The number of coaches that have the necessaries to coach at a super rugby level are few, and in high demand both here and over in Europe. Therefore they are in a strong bargaining position when dealing with the super rugby franchises (i.e. They can afford...

Geebus, based on the almost zero evidence I have, I think the QRU need to give this guy an apology and a new job. It sounds a bit blown out of proportion surely.

Why the "dare I say"?

To be fair to the guy, he is Co head coach, attack coach and defence coach - so pretty big ask to do it all. Why didn't the QRU parachute in someone from club land for a season? Definitely less than ideal, but weakening the whole thing by making one guy do everything except scrums and lineout...
