But he did do better than Foley in his brief appearance. Not that it matters,Cheika has obviously decided its Foley all the way to RWC.

They would cease to exist as Rugby players. You can't have a 20's rep team without a quality comp from which to recruit them from. What happens to 21 yo's? How many of these are in Soup squads? where can they get good competition between School & gaining a pro contract? I understand you are...

Terrific,but who do you replace them with? There are plenty saying Carter is not up to it,and even more protesting Skeltons involvement.

Dumbest post of the thread so far!

What does that say about Cheika's opinion of the defensive capabilities of Lilo?

My argument is that the ARU keeps talking up their commitment to the grassroots,whilst their actions are entirely diametrically opposed to this objective. Sure most SS pay their players,but most have a budget in excess of 1/2 Million,but would pay less than 1/2 that in player wages. So in my...

I will take that score at 1/2 time. We should be much more than just 1 behind. We got this!

No it won't be strong,the best kids will be playing for their Schools or if they are in the Club system higher grade colts. But my understanding was this comp was more about participation than anything.

Jeez,no only they are naughty,they are poison to do business with. Plenty of failed ventures in that lot!

How is he going? About as good as you could expect with his implementation skills. Just one example.... Participation Growth.. Goal is 320,000 participants = 17,700 new participants. What initiatives do the ARU implement to achieve this goal? Bring in a new levy on all club participants...

I think Cheika was trying his luck. It is up to management to manage Cheika. If this was a fight Cheika was willing to quit over,then he is the wrong guy.

This is only on the cards because management is weak. It's a no brainier. Cheika says to Bill that he wants to bring KB (Kurtley Beale) over for the last 2 games. Bill says,fuck off you named your squad,stick to it. Simple. For all his faults,no way would JON have allowed someone he wanted sacked in October,be...

The issue wasn't could he make any yards at that time of the day. the issue was who was going to be right up his clacker ready to repel the certain 3 or 4 desperate defenders trying to get/spoil our ball.

I heard Bill is over there ATM,hope he is helping out by standing in as tour business manager. Could be interesting if he did,how many flights do they have left on tour? Wonder what time the team curfew will in Dublin?

So now we know who is in charge of the ARU. Wonder what little tasks Cheika has set for Bill while he is away?

So Same Lane to 13, and Reece Hodge to 5?

I s'pose that's a reasonable group to chase box kicks all day.........

30 odd years,and you still haven't let it go? You could hate for England!

He actually played a bit on the wing in his last year with the Rats IIRC.

I hear what you say, but yeah there were plenty of fawning posts praising Link like some deity. Obviously supporters of both,are guilty of hyperbole on occasions.
