Yeah, and historically we do not have the track history of the AB's to be expecting undefeated tours. Add in the fact that the Messiah just quit,with a record that suggests that an undefeated tour is just fantasy,and his replacement has had a full day under his belt before the squad leaves. Sure...

Most people considered 3/5 would be satisfactory last year given Link had only had them for 6 months prior to touring. You must think Cheika is a much better coach,given he would have only 2 days to improve this motley crew.

Why would the Puma's be runners up? You forgot that Link knows how to beat NZ teams!

Terrific,AJ will know what to do if anyone is arrested in London.....

Funny you say that. Just heard Eddie on the radio. He was saying Cruden did a silly thing and was not sacked. KB (Kurtley Beale) was also silly,so should not be sacked. Idiot.....

It seems to me that 25 is not enough. If I am on say $200k with the Tahs,and play 6 Tests,then yeah I am being paid handsomely. However when Toulon rings up and offers me a guaranteed $700k,that can be tax sheltered in such a way that it's the same as $900k in Oz.I am leaving. And I am leaving...

Hounded out? My perception of the man is that he was more than strong enough to cop what the media dished up over the past 2 weeks. My view is that he either knew what else could come out,and jumped before he was pushed. Or amazing as it seems,he resigned as he believed he had lost the dressing...

Says a bit about the AB's perception of us. Which sides can we afford to play without our very best ATM?

C'mon TWAS, exactly the same things were said about QC (Quade Cooper). And was used as evidence by many to justify Link replacing RD.

That's the way I'm looking at it. I have no doubt that guys like slipper,QC (Quade Cooper),Horwill etc were huge supporters of Link. However the squad has clearly got together and decided to focus on what's ahead of them,not what's behind them. At least I hope it was their decision,and not an uncle Bill directive.

There was talk that she appointed herself the unofficial team psychiatrist and would ask players personal questions at meal times.then there was the claim that she was chasing KB (Kurtley Beale) for an unpaid hotel bill in the middle of a Test. This would cause resentment in any workplace. Even the players who...

My understanding,was that he was promoting the idea of voting posts up or down,as an alternative to replying to a post. Not ignoring all of a particular posters content.

We used to have one of our own,not hard to see why it fell by the wayside.....http://saintsandheathens.wordpress.com/wallabies-rugby/wallabies-warcry-rugby-haka/.

Who got fired?

I would rather they gave the right guy too few Tests to prepare for the RWC,than the wrong guy a medium/long term contract on the basis that he is available this Friday.

Was Lilo in the squad all year? Cooper had just come in,Moore has been out injured..... Hardly a ringing endorsement from your key players.

Just stop with this fucking horseshit he can beat Kiwi teams. 0 from 6 are the facts at this level.

The most damaging things to Link IMO,were not unattributed quotes from players.It was the lack of supportive statements attributed to players,and Fairfax picking the scab about Di's employment. The ARU were clearly on the back foot in that matter,inviting further scrutiny. Growdens bullshit is...

I don't understand how you come to the conclusion that the Fairfax press are solely responsible for Link's demise. Didn't Link say he had lost the shed? How is that Robinson's issue? I am sure they put plenty of thought into actual evidence before they went to print. Unattributed does not mean...

I disagree, this article is nothing like a Growden piece, I thought it was a good summation. Pulver won't enjoy it though. http://www.theaustralian.com.au/sport/opinion/aru-boss-bill-pulver-off-target-when-he-shoots-the-messenger/story-e6frg7vo-1227095507004
