Yes. No need to rush him. i liked his uncompromising play and his ability to link. Bookmark him for the future. There were also some good young blindsides on display this round.

Valetini yes, but if Samu was not included prior to the introduction of the new breed of backrowers he will struggle to make a Wallaby squad from here on in.

We like the look of Harry Wilson don’t we? He’s a beast and will only get bigger and better.

Fantastic game by the Bokke. They did to England what the Poms had done to NZ the previous week. England were not allowed to fire a shot. Sadly England thought they had it in the bag by turning up. SA had different ideas and played almost the perfect game. Congrats and enjoy!

It’s easy to paint any picture you desire in regards to this board, and I agree that the Folau saga was handled as well as possible. But generally things have not been going well. The axing of the Force and how it was handled, the extension of Cheikas contract and the boards complete reluctance...

None of them had a record as poor as Cheikas. Deans got turfed when we were actually still performing well comparatively. Of course all are entitled to their opinions and I have zero confidence in RA with the current board. I’m guessing many will agree.

I believe we were not doing well at the time and he had a year to go on his contract.

I supported his appointment, as most did. However the original contract was extended ahead of time. Why?

First of all, Cheika should never have been contracted more than 2 years past the last RWC and/or he should have had very clear targets to meet in order to carry on. If that was the case he would have been replaced 2 years ago. Larkham would have jumped at the opportunity if given a year or two...

Surely there are always alternatives, particularly short term. For one they could have retained Larkham and brought in Laurie Fischer, who for some reason seems to be permanently on the outer despite always making himself available for the Wallabies. Maybe not ideal but certainly a better option...

Yes, and the rest of the RA board.

Cheika never pretended to be anything that he was not. He was completely invested in his game plan and gave it 100%. You could not ask for more from any coach. The problem with his tenure was that RA were unable to recognise when he became ineffective and/or they didn’t have the balls to sack...

What are we thinking? The Boks too strong up front or Wales have a decent shot of winning the whole shooting match on the back of the 6Ns?

th That’s a Brumby heavy starting side. Petaia will be at 13 from this point forward. FF (Folau Fainga'a) still has to prove himself up to it and physically more suited to test rugby than Uelese and others. Joe Powell is going to have his work cut out competing with Nic White and the Reds kid. Tom Banks is...

He was a bit shit in test rugby. Certainly not good enough to get picked ahead of Hodge and DHP.

Not sure who will end up coaching but the talent is certainly there to build through this next RWC cycle. I would imagine that developing a couple of decent test 10s will be a priority. https://www.foxsports.com.au/rugby/...0/news-story/6ee5575432c05f42354410a43c7e5e7e

Many of the peeps here are fans of Kerevi but he had no place in that backline with those tactics. He stifled the attack and it was obvious that England have had his measure since he made his debut against them in the series in Oz in 2016. He is a one trick flat track pony. Maybe he should have...

Australia ill disciplined and tactically inept. The Australian way Cheika said. Same game plan for the past 5 years that is easily defended and trumped. Time for a new era. We have good talent on deck and coming through. We just need someone to mould it who can be flexible and progressive. A...
