Good thinking

I see that. Has he forfeited the captaincy for good is he just being worked back into a successful side off the bench?

Timu had a great game on the weekend. How is he in the lineout, a genuine option or a part time target?

Is Higgers back this week? I doubt Folau will leave NSW unless it is to go OS eventually. No love for Hunt?

WTF do we have to play the ABs first two games every year in TRC? Surely a couple of runs against the Argies and a hit out against the Boks would be better to get all of our ducks in a row before facing the AIGs? We are on a hiding to nothing while the Boks are afforded the luxury of a good hit...

Thankfully that is not my job and honestly I have no idea who would be available. However, lack of easily identifiable replacements is not a good reason to not make a change. If the head coach is not getting reasonable results over time then a replacement needs to be found. There are people out...

fair enough

Cheika blaming the the players, not the plan itself. Anyway, we could argue this all night. I reckon it is time for a change. No doubt there has been improvement at times this season but it has been one step forward and then two back. His record over time is not good enough, plain and simple.

KOB. We are not talking about any other coach. We are talking about Cheika and I was questioning Baa Baas statement that he has has seen him take responsibility on multiple occasions.

I don't think it is too far over the top. He sometimes says the players were not up to it or that they did not stick to the game plan or that the ref was one-sided(he has used this one quite a lot in the last 12 months). When did he come out and say "the selection(s) were off/wrong" or "the...

It is bullshit that the cupboard is bare. There must be many decent options available to help the Wallabies have a tilt at RWC 2019. Cheika does not take responsibility for the performances, or lack thereof. He never will and does not command the required respect of the players, as illustrated...

Right. There is enough there in your post to think seriously about it now. Plus there are other issues. Sadly the ARU itself is in complete disarray and as such is incapable of making the call. That was a pretty spineless performance

Based on his record and the number of record losses this year plus the obvious lack of ticker in this squad for this EOYT and the mindless selections at times and that he has continually backed the almost unbackable defense coach...........it is time for Cheika to fall on his own sword. There...

I would say an E more realistically and Cheikas position should be under serious threat. It’s has been a woeful tour punctuated by suspect selection, crazily poor discipline and extremely crap play. It’s very disappointing that we were unable to consolidate on our improvement throughout the RC...

How are we looking?

TT is a gifted player but does not have anywhere near the set piece(scrum)talent of AA. If Kepu gets injured early it could go bottom up very easily.

By all accounts Tui is fit. Slide him in next to Simmons and I assume that McCalman will come into the back row. A beefed up pack from the one that matched England.

How is Tui looking?

There is no point in giving anyone a rest if fit. This is the last game they will play until Super Rugby starts next year. Send out the strongest side and hopefully finish off the year with a good win.............then all can take a breather.
