I don't think Bell or Kellaway constitute a compromise. Nic White of last years form wasn't either. I wish Valetini would jump more, because then he wouldn't be a compromise either.

It actually is very encouraging. We've produced those players off the smell of an oily rag and it shows that there is talent out there sufficient to create an interesting domestic competition. Now to mash the jigsaw pieces together and somehow magically make them stick.

They haven't shown anything. I suppose if his KPI is 'not showing stuff' before the RWC he's overachieving.

I expect to wake up at any moment and find Dismal has been drugging my drinking water with LSD and Valium.

Lonergan seems like a poor fix for goalkicking. Or at least, only a partial fix. Such a dire position to be in. Do we opt for a functional attack with no goal kicking or a dysfunctional attack with a relatively reliable goal kicker. Or somehow shoe horn Hodge in somewhere? Ship has long sailed...

Looks like it's Foketi, Hooper and Leota who all press in and shoot rather than fanning to cover for the dropped winger Marky M (Nawaqanitawase) (who was correctly positioned). What I didn't notice on first viewing was that they also jog after the break is made, except for Foketi, which makes it even worse...

Yeah that's the Farrell special - a shoulder charge to the head.

To be fair to Gordon I don't think there is any current 10 that would, outside a Farrell special.

You present this as if it is an option. We simply are shit. What's Eddie's strategy for winning? We aren't going to outscore any team in a shootout given our horrendous defence. We can't strangle a tight one with the worst discipline in tier 1. We can't build scoreboard pressure without a goal...

As much as I am all about supporting the Wallabies I think most of my enjoyment of this world cup will be via schadenfreude. Backline defence for Penaut's second was some of the worst I've seen recently. Whoever thinks we are improving is wrong.

I still think Rodha is a troll account. He has some of the most outlandish takes conceivable.

I wish they'd just done this before we signed back up for two dud years of Super Rugby pacific. Maybe that interim step was necessary for continued TV deals but... what a shit time it's been.

Better than more Super Rugby. Its fucken shite.

This was always on the cards with the laughably lax refereeing in Super Rugby. I expect Australia and NZ to be among the least disciplined in the cup.

Woulda thought the bloke had a Wallaby future. Shame these guys have to choose between money and representing your country.

That bench will have some teams really quaking in their boots.

Isn't it good for us?

Not good ones.

Guess so. Would rather Toole, Daugunu etc.
