    I’m sure you’re aware Dan Carter was a 12 for all of the matches you have mentioned. He didn’t play any of those games at 10…

    Someone is going to have to explain this Holloway hype to me. I see more Ned Hanigan than Owen Finegan

    James O’Connor has never, and will never be a world class 12

    Apparently Leota was the one that knocked Folau out at training too Yeah agree, I really scratch my head with all rave reviews he gets. He doesn't really have the pace at 6 to be a link man and doesn't make many tackles. Pretty stock standard lock playing 6 imo Wilson has the highest ceiling...

    The blind faith in Rennie is puzzling but I hope you're right Dont know why O'Connor gets the excuse of his pack strugging and Noah doesnt? England smashed us upfront Either way, I hope you are right in believing in Rennie

    We just lost 48-17 to Argentina, I doubt it could be much worse

    So if they give Edmed or Donaldson a chance, how many bad games until we bin them off too?

    Argentina v Australia II @ 5.10am 14/08

    All Black Trialist?? All I know is all these schoolboy stars haven't won anything, the last 20 years have been nothing but signing these guys and losing every year. Something needs to change

    Wallabies 2023

    That's a nice theory, but that isn't what Rennie was doing. He dropped Lolesio to the bench for Reece Hodge, and then out of the 23 when O'Connor started. And he was left out of the 23 for all the tests Quade started last year even after leading them to a test series vs France. And now even...

    Argentina v Australia II @ 5.10am 14/08

    There are only 17 NRL teams, I hardly think that can fit all those players in. If they want to play league, let them go. Develop the ones that want to play rugby. Our best ever 10 came from reserve grade club football. Two decades of chasing schoolboy stars hasn't won us anything

    Wallabies 2023

    I would say he has been progressing. They looked a lot more organized in the England series than they have in Argentina. What young 10 hasn't struggled early? Pollard struggled, Sexton struggled, Mounga struggled, hell even Carter took some time to find himself at test level. Expecting any young...

    Wallabies 2023

    Because he’s 22, has only played 12 tests and has been chopped and changed constantly. All world class international 10’s took time to develop into what they are. None of them have been top class straight away Rennie has had the last 2 years to stick with Noah, develop, coach and back him. If...

    Argentina v Australia II @ 5.10am 14/08

    Which is why McReight should have got more chances over the last two years instead of just running Hooper into the ground

    Look, I understand that not all these injuries are avoidable, but when you hit 17 injuries after only playing 5 games, somethings not quite right Ive always liked Rennie as a coach, but man he gets off easy. Rod McQueen got critiqued harder

    I'm not sure your subbies experience is relevant in the professional environment Never played subbies, played club rugby in NZ and International in Europe irrespective, Rennie has a track record of injuries wherever he goes Wellington, Manawatu, MZ under 20’s, Wallabies) so it’s not far...

    He doesn’t want to play for the Wallabies. Why chase someone that isn’t really invested?

    Wallabies 2023

    It was a non contact team run, having the subs run defence is an old trope that never works. Dudes either don’t put effort in because they wished they were picked, or put too much effort in trying to prove a point Take space haha. Everyone that has ever done one of these know the defenders are...

    To be fair, it sums up the wallabies. “Lack of awareness” at least they train like they play!

    Wallabies 2023

    So they were doing a team run with defence? Why? That is always dumb, reserves going too hard trying to prove a point did he explain how Porecki got knocked out? Tying his laces?
