South Africa have real power in world rugby, Australia don't

To be fair results would say we already have a substandard coach

It's about setting in place performance standards Keeping the status quo simply tells everyone in Australian rugby that is fine to lose, there are no expectations and no consequences

Rennie gets to keep his job because simply because he has made such a mess of it no other coach would want to touch it. Haha you couldn't make this stuff up It's dire either way. Glad they players are proud of themselves though

I do laugh that the only defense of keeping Rennie is that there is apparently no one else. Hardly a ringing endorsement, and that is never a good reason to keep the status quo Who comes in? Coleman, Thorn, McKellar, any number of guys really. Anyone that will change this weird losing...

Surely they would have done that 10 injuries ago?

I am really sick of this 'unlucky' talk. When something becomes a trend it isn't luck anymore. Once the injury toll went past 20, with a ton of soft tissue injuries and concussions at training, it falls on poor training and rehab methods When you lose as many close games as they do, it comes...

99% of the time it doesn't go our way. The situational awareness of this team isn't good enough We wont get to play against Irelands 4th string 10 every game

The team not having any disciple falls on him as the coach. Gordon gives away a yellow card vs Italy, they say players will be dropped for ill disciple, somehow pick Gordon again and low and behold he gives away another bonehead penalty. At the end of the day Rennie needs to be held accountable...

Wait, so Tate's passing game needs to improve, but Gordon's passing is up to scratch?

This argument doesn't really fly at the highest level of the professional game. If he's too young then don't pick him

The issue is for years teams were taught to have the first guy on the ball slide to the back of the maul and have everyone bind in front of him

I was referring to Langi Gleeson But the fact Jed Holloway was preferred to Nick Frost goes against the narrative that Rennie only picks Brumbies

Should we also ask why a reserve loose forward from the Waratahs was selected in the Wallabies?

So use the Wallabies as a testing ground for….the Wallabies? People seem to have a problem with Pollards lack of experience but want Edmed in the Wallabies off only 18 professional games? And Gleeson started 1 game for the Tahs and it’s ok to pick him. But how dare they pick Billy Pollard

If we are going to debate the 4th string hooker in the squad I think we may be overanalysing sone what But Simone earned his selection. As I said he’s been the form 12 in Australia for 3 years. The fact he’s leaving shouldn’t matter as it didn’t matter for Paenga-Amosa and overseas players keep...

Simone started 1 game for the wallabies 2 years ago. “Hopeless in gold” is a bit of a silly comment

It would be great if these other super teams actually won some games vs Kiwi teams, then maybe they would actually get picked for the national side

You’re dead right, it’s completely illogical when compared to every other rule in rugby

On form both Pollard & Lonergan deserve their spot. Kaitu’u was poor this season and Uelese has had plenty of chances and taken none Simone never started, and he’s been the form 12 in Australia for the last 3 years so seems a strange guy to complain about Wright is rocks & Diamonds yes, but...
