Mate you've made 7 posts about it since your last "back to the rugby" post. Take your own advice.

I’m not going to argue with you over why it’s appropriate to stand someone down, pending the outcome of criminal proceedings, over serious charges like sexual assault. It is typically what's most beneficial for all parties.

Stood down, not terminated, pending an outcome is the appropriate course of action. End of.

A lot of the personnel travelling with Cricket Aus are on the commercial side to be fair - I've had dealings with them for a number of summers, and there's easily 10+ people on-site facilitating events, marketing, corporate partners, etc. A massive operation, but understandable when you see the...

It's pretty simple - RA have determined that the benefits (take your pick of metrics - success, popularity, financial, etc.) outweigh the cost of the single-year's overlap. There's also a decent chance that Eddie said it's 2023 or nothing.

The pass itself may be marginally better (accuracy, velocity, etc.), but Gordon is much slower getting to and clearing balls from rucks imo. Not having quick and decisive ball really dampens the Wallabies' most effective style of play. To my eyes it was the most noticeable difference when...

V'landys graduated from the same school of PR as Eddie - eyeballs are eyeballs, and they know how to get them

It's a shame the extended SRP (Super Rugby Pacific) deal has already been announced. Imagine Eddie's 2cents

Aus A?

Goosebumps. I’m on board

Haha yeah, nothing like a teammate assaulting you to the point of hospitalisation to help you become a team player!

Fixed that for you

5 yellows across the last 3 seasons (1, 2, 2)

Third time's the charm!

I'm hoping it's a bit of a chicken/egg scenario. If Eddie's doing what Eddie does best and stirring up a bit of drama, media will come running. This has already been a massive coup for eyeballs on the game - Twitter's rampant, every media outlet incl. Fox and Newscorp are all over it - could be...

Why? They're still training and working on combos - it's better than not having any camp until Jones has taken the reigns, which is too close to Super season.

A five year deal through 2027 WC is a worry. As has already been discussed, Eddie's 'shock and awe' style will often see immediate improvement followed by a decline, which I think is supported by his career stats. I hope we aren't in a similar position to now in 2027.

Or just anyone with a vague understanding of Rennie’s history and half a dozen beers inside them
