So moving onto the most pressing issue, who takes us on the EOYT. Common sense says the current assistants will share the gig. Another more exciting and credible option is to get the current S15 coaches to form a cartel and take us. Foley in charge of the forwards, Larkham the backs, Cheika...

Link has lost the dressing room. There are a couple of possible scenarios. 1. He didn't live up to his end of the bargain and lost the respect of the squad. This could be fair enough and there is still hope this squad can be salvaged. 2. The squad is such a pack of spoilt fluffybunnys he has given up...

Link has fucked up somewhere here non rugby related. Plain and simple. It will come out in time.

Link doesn't seem like the sort of guy to let that get to him. From Pulvers quote he clearly lost the shed.

Maybe. But why did Pulver say he " wants a coach who adheres to the core values of the playing group"?

Fuck that. Give the playing group Jake White. It's what they deserve.

Gotta think there is More to come out about the Beale Patston saga and Ewen is jumping before the push.

Can we get an age gate on this joint?

That's a great idea actually. The past players shouldn't say anything. Just observe.

AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) announced he is leaving Aus rugby after the RWC today. Said he would be able to walk away happy with what he had achieved. No dis on the guy, as he has been a great player. But he has never held the Bledisloe trophy in his 100 tests. Surely that's gotta hurt.

I want them to be raw. I want them so angry they come out and attack each other after the anthems and Link has to separate them by laying about with a whip. Like a pack of Idatarod dogs. Basically, I want them to show me that the Jersey means something to them. If I see that I will be able to...

At this point in time, it doesn't seem like a terrible idea to me. I'd like to see some truths laid bare.

Take away the guns and I'm on board.

As stated before, what could they do? Beale copied Patston in, so she already knew and dealt with it. Agree with the rest though.

The only way I think Link is in trouble is if he lied about knowing about the text when it happened or when he denied a relationship with Patston. If either of those are true he won't make the EOYT. If they're not, he will make it through the 15 RWC.

I was thinking about Hoopers captaincy this morning. I came to the conclusion that even the most well balanced, confident 22 year old is going to struggle in such a high profile, high pressure role and he is essentially being set up to fail. I think Link was really reluctant to burden him with...

So because they haven't been cracked down on before, they deserve some sort of settling in period to getting used to behaving like decent adults. I don't buy that.

The caveat to this post is I have assumed Hooper and AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) knew about the text. There is a chance they weren't original recipients, but I'd be shocked if they hadn't heard about it in the intervening time or after the mid air exchange.

Need more Nick Cummins. Someone who will bleed for the jersey.

Who were they supposed to tell? Di Patston, oops she already knew because Beale the mental giant copied her in on the message. The more concerning thing is they continued to support him Argentina. That takes some explaining and seems incredibly poor judgement.
