Pat Richards has been around a while and coached Aust Schools a few years ago. I don't think it's a long bow to draw that he's a good coach. I just found it an amusing selling point for why players ended up at Easts.

Thanks for that Don. I sent through an email today and look forward to reading it.

Interesting list. Financial? The club must be in a better financial position than a couple of years ago if it can afford to spend money on players. Coaching Staff? That hasn't made the finals in the last couple of years. Drinking Culture? Not sure if guys that want to go pro should be going to a...

Can we stick with AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) in one position please and keep him there. I don't think he is need on the wing anymore so it's 13 or 15. I'd love him to play 13 for an entire season.

Sorry I can't bring myself to watch the Rugby Club.

Don it would be great if you could proved us with the information mentioned by Hugh above. If you read through the thread I think you will notice that a lot of points have been raised that could be answered with some transparency from the AJRU. I for one don't see the point of the organisation...

With Gilbert looking like the best option at 10 for the Wallabies, and hopefully the Rebels, where does he think his best position in the team is? Most people would love to see him at 12 but does he view himself as a 15 who can play first receiver?

I use the term improved in relation to their reputations before the tournament and at the end.

It's odd that we come second in the RC and we would struggle to get a player in the best XV of the comp. Hooper, Timani, Alexander and Douglas are the only players I think have improved since the start of the competition from an Australian point of view. Higgers was great on the weekend but he...

I thought Phipps had a good game on the weekend. He was at the breakdown quickly the majority of the time and fed quick ball to the forward runners. We play a much quicker style of play with him there as opposed to Genia and I think it suits the team more. Ideally Genia will notice how much...

Higgers has to start at 6 after his game on the weekend.

Didn't we just come second in the Rugby Championship? Also we were heavily hindered by having a coaching team that don't seem to have any tactical nous and used 1 backline move for the entire tournament and didn't place any importance on the line out.

I wish they published 2 figure in regards to participation. This one that includes anyone who ventures within 5km of a game and the figure of how many registered players. Registered players is a much more important figure in my view as it shows the number of people actually committed to the game.

I would love to see Kingi go. He is a great bench option for the team as he can cover 9 but can also play wing or 15 if required. Also has an attacking mindset.

I'm just glad we aren't playing Scotland. They beat us here when we had more players to select from. They would thump us over there given the depleted squad we have now.

I blame the women of Australia for not throwing themselves at the players enough.

It's just an ARU policy.

So our issue is the players aren't rooting around enough? Having seen some of the pics they post on twitter I'm not surprised they aren't picking up.

Just saw this on YouTube. Not sure when it was on ABC news and in what states.
