    Wallabies v England in Melbourne, 18 June

    There's no doubt they did. What I'm angry about is Australian rugby players getting away with not fixing their deficiencies. A simple draw and pass is beyond the ability of most Australian super rugby players. Why? It's a fundamental that we can't execute. When we win a penalty, we rarely...

    Wallabies v England in Melbourne, 18 June

    to be honest though, woukd it be hard to defend against a team that had no clue how to draw and pass? There were so many chances tonight murdered by an early pass that allowed the English to drift. These aussie players are quite simply unprofessional. They obviously read their own press...

    Shameful performance by the wallabies.

    Wallabies v England in Melbourne, 18 June

    Australian rugby players are awfully unprofessional. There are just so many deficiencies across the board, its amazing we manage to be competitive.

    Wallabies v England in Melbourne, 18 June

    Really? I think his running has generally been quite strong in most of his appearances. For a smaller (heh*) guy, he's got an amazing amount of directed power. *very few of these guys are small really - just he appears a bit smaller than others.

    Wallabies v England, Sat 11th June, 8.00pm, Suncorp Brisbane

    The views they showed on the highlights of that Foley "obstruction" are pretty deceptive. We were sitting pretty front on to the wallabies attack, and the English player was a good 5 metres to the right of where Foley was and would have never have been in a position to get a hold of him...

    This is why I can't believe there's no noise about us talking to Blackadder. Is he already contracted to someone else?

    He coached Leeds to 2 wins in a season and got them relegated. I just don't believe that "better than Richard Graham" is much of benchmark given that it probably doesn't really narrow down the field any. I maintain that we need to select a coach that has a long history of success as a head coach.

    Stuart Lancaster's record as coach is really not that great.

    Shatz is unfortunate imo. Honestly, I've never seen someone get up in the air so quickly as he does for line out steals and he tackles like a demon all game. He just goes backwards in contact - every time. Maybe his height is wrong, or he doesn't run at the gaps, or whatever - but if...

    Sometimes all a person needs is a change of scenery and time away from their regular comfort zone to spark a change. The reds certainly weren't getting the best out of CFS based upon anything that I've seen, so hopefully someone else does (for his sake).

    Reds v Sunwolves, Round 13, 21 May 2016

    And can we just end the CFS thing now? He is just devoid of any rugby brains at all. Junior is a far better player.

    Reds v Sunwolves, Round 13, 21 May 2016

    And don't even get me started on the forward pass that wasn't. It was about as forward as the one that the Japanese threw in their try. I'm full on channelling my inner @Shiggins here!!!!!

    Reds v Sunwolves, Round 13, 21 May 2016

    How many obstructions does this referee want to let the Japanese team get away with - hard to defendd when players are being held out of the way. How many reds kick chasers are allowed to be held back by the referee? All the kicks have had reds held back from chasing. This referee is...

    What's his record as a head coach like? I just don't think we should be appointing people who have not had significant success (not just experience - the two are not always mutually inclusive) as a head coach at a high level . Not necessarily super rugby - but surely at the very least ITM cup...

    Ewen's record as HC prior to reds: Tahs: 2/14, 13/14, 3/14, 2/14 Stade Francais: 13/14 (incomplete), 4/14 I don't think McCall's appointment of Ewen McKenzie is entirely down to him being one of the boys. History shows he knows how to obtain results, whatever the methods might be. I have...

    Reds V Hurricanes, Round 12, 14 May 2016

    A good, thought provoking response. I don't know if McIntyre is fully at fault, or that Greene replacing him would be the way to go. But the structure thing is pretty obvious.
