Add: x pisses off refs when we surely want to get more disciplined x hot headed under pressure x most unacceptable un-Australian response to the face slap - noting that apparently playing in an "Australian way" is a big issue White may well be on the list of possible captains, clearly it isn't...

I have huge respect for Stewart. In some ways he isn't that far from Jones supposed experiment with a loose forward/centre hybrid. For starch in the D in the backline it's hard to imagine anyone better, but as Lightblue says - it's not exactly the first KPI for a game controlling 10. Definitely...

Different sort of players. Petaia seems a little like Folau, flamboyant (I think a good thing), can be great on the high ball, can be great running it back, can kick a little. What he can't/doesn't do is offer a playmaking opportunity. To be fair, Campbell has to develop that ability but the...

Unless of course, someone else starts looking better. And there are a few possibilities.

Yep.

Don't see how you can tar Mitchell here.

All #EJ (Eddie Jones)# (why is GGR removing those two letters?) has said is that Quade has to return from injury before there is much to talk about. Fair enough really.

I particularly enjoyed Quades memory of the prep and planning for 2011 Cape Town and Bulls matches. Hard to forget.

Well, I enjoyed that. Thanks.

I wish the best for Rennie, thought he was under-rated here in Australia but whatever the environment around him, he was the architect of his own demise. Had he done things differently, and a couple of refinements may have changed that W/L ratio, this would not have happened. Hope he develops...

Likewise. I thought that interview was funny.

16 years on. Bloke, your ageism sings strongly. Eddie may or may not be the right guy for the WBs, but your logic isn't convincing many.

God help me, but this is NOT the place for that discussion, SMI. Try "Everything Else" in the non-rugby section. Yep, something of a low point from our friend there.

7 years is short term? OK.

5 tests in a row against opposition at that level may well have been an issue, but the make up, build up and training of the team against Italy was whole-heartedly Rennie. Complete disdain for an opposition that clearly deserved more. He is not absolved of the injury tsunami either. I like the...

Ditto. I really quite rate Rennie as a coach - surely though he will have learned heaps here. And surely his head would be spinning around the importance of injury and discipline. I don't regret his time at the Wallabies at all. I love his media persona and his calmness. I love his boldness with...

Personally, I think Rennie's goose was cooked with the Italy game. We might well justify continuing with Rennie if he took us to the final - and I'd suggest we can't say he can't do it. But we can't say it's looking good either. He is seriously not kicking the house down and we can't wait till...

Strangely enough, ageism was under discussion on just the immediate post before this one.

Nab Skelton for the bench and I’m in.
