I have high hopes for Valetini.

Phipps. Foley. Is that really the best we can do?

We do not know the extent to which selections are made unilaterally by Chubby. Maybe they are. Maybe he gets input from the assistant coaches. (This is not a defence of the status quo, which is clearly not working).

As you have made it clear, etc etc, what is the point of engaging in conversation here? All I have is my own knowedge base, professional qualifications, and work experience. Should I just talk from a position of ignorance? However, just for the record, I was not implying that anything would...

The Board and JON thought it would have. Maybe they should have consulted an expert. Were you around at the time?

The only way to effect radical change would be for all the current stakeholders to agree to give up their power. Would they all do that? JON wanted to be appointed Executive Chairman, but the Board at the time refused his ultimatum. Would we all be willing to go down this road, because that...

If this was a movie, now would be the time for the hero to step forward and save the day.

Speak for yourself. Nobody can say what "most of the fans" want, other than that they would love to win.

Woeful? Diabolical? Hard to disagree.

To some extent this is part of the ethos of the West. The most isolated capital city on the planet. When I worked for the Reserve Bank, the view was that this isolation, plus the time differences to the Eastern States, breeds a high degree of independence self-reliance, and entrepreneurism...

Even when he coached the Tahs to the title? Really?

Oh dear. That would not be good, would it?

Brian Moore used to break this law every time he threw the ball into the lineout. Stood right on the line, then took a step forward into the field, then threw the ball. Used to drive me mental. (Some might say that I have never recovered).

Have you thought that this might be even more frustrating for Eddie Eyebrows? If you were the national coach, would you tell the whole world what the exact state of health of your whole squad is? Or the reasons for selections, or non-selections?

My guess is, the whole thing. But what would I know?

England will likely trounce a team of fully fit players, unfortunately.
