We won the 1991 World Cup…

The fact that Ireland are even in consideration flies in the face of your opinion that poor little Australia doesn't have the talent of Juggernauts like Ireland, Scotland and Wales

This right here, is a straight up losing mentality Ireland is the best team in the world right now. You're telling me that Ireland talent pool is so superior to Australia's? Mack Hansen couldn't even make the Brumbies squad

No, I don't think they would to be honest The Wallabies problem is not talent, it's a lack of game awareness and tactical understanding

All Blacks are just fortunate that Australia look as bad as they ever have

Because t So, stats are completely meaningless, but your unverifiable opinion isnt? Keep making excuses for rubbish rugby

As an example, Scotland has 38,000 registered rugby players and 470,000 registered Soccer players

Just imagine if the Argie's beat them. They cant sack Foster now

The age is irrelevant. The point is all these other countries best young athletes aren't playing rugby either

Scotland only has 38,000 registered players. This is a weak excuse

Well putting all their egg's in the 34 year old injury prone players basket didn't really work out did it? We were never winning a world cup with Quade, so I don't see the down side of building with the young guys from 2020 onwards. We are already at an all time low, how much worse could the...

I agree that Rugby works on world cup cycles, which is why it infuriates me that almost 3 years after he got the job we still haven't developed a 10 or a 15 and are recalling 33 year old Kurtley Beale and 32 year old Bernard Foley to save the day He's throwing mud up against a wall and hoping...

It's achieved by having a long term vision, but developing players. It is not achieved by jettisoning in the likes of Quade Cooper, James O'Connor, Bernard Foley and Kurtley Beale to plug a short term gap We are well worse than 7th though. The two teams behind us both beat us the last time we...

Frans Malherbe would disagree

This is not about a single result It's about another home series loss to England, a winless European tour last year, no Rugby Championship since 2015, haven't sniffed the Bledisloe Cup in 20 years. A 39% win record isn't good enough. Every other tier 1 nation would demand improvement. We don't...

He can dominate scrums due to his size and strength. His technique is found wanting when he cant overpower his opponent He is not great at head positioning to keep the loosehead from getting under him, and even angles in sometimes exposing his ribs more

I’ve never liked the argument of “Who could do better?” It’s not judging someone on their own performance and excusing underperformance He has been in the job the same amount of time as Andy Farrell and Gregor Townsend, so the trying circumstances didn’t affect them too much we need to stop...

Is Rennie desperate? His team just lost 48-17 and everyone seems to be patting him on the back

That’s a fair shout

Please name 1 world class 10 that had cemented his spot at 22, or after 12 tests? people are way too patient with a guy like Petaia, and not patient enough with a guy like Lolesio
