Why do you think he should continue picking out of form players? Combinations are good,picking in form players is better.

I think the same forwards would be more effective under White,they were more effective under Robbie despite all the criticisms.

You are too harsh on the backs,and too kind with the piggies.

How much longer till the honeymoon is over? I would have more patience if he was more candid about shortcomings,rather than putting a spin on the performance. Did he really take a photo of the touchie's blunder to the presser?

I always thought Genia had a bet with someone to insert certain phrases into an interview. Or at least I was hoping that was the case.

so the Wallabies are now the Grammar of International Rugby?

Disagree,they were just kicking it in a vaguely downfield direction. Kicking for territory only works if it goes out. Contest able kicks actually requires us to provide a contestant. Having every fucker in the backline just lashing at the ball is not a plan,or at least it's not a plan that will...

You have fallen for the trap that nothing outside the GPS exists. Most CAS and even ISA Schools have decent Rugby programs.

Spot on. The problem with the pathway ATM is that they have been picking winners at 16. Very few 16yo state reps fail to be picked in the opens. Then the 20's reps are drawn from the open schoolboys.... I think it's madness selecting elite squads at these lower age groups. By all means conduct...

I have never seen in any sport,or any business,where such a monumental change in how the business/sport will operate,such a lack of planning,communication and stakeholder involvement. Why the manic desire to have something/anything in place for 2014? Broadcasting rights don't expire till 2016.

Quite the reverse. I was suggesting having that many kickers was a bad thing.

Every back except Kuiridriani kicked at least twice last night. Too many cooks?

Here's a tip Link. Don't try and insinuate missed penalty goals had a big bearing on the loss,when the other team missed more shots than your kicker did.

The piggies are not carrying out their core functions by design,rather than not doing it out of apathy. The forwards individually,and as a unit have deteriorated under Link's watch.

Look at the backline the Oz Schools have selected. EVERYONE of them only look to pass when there is nothing left for them. It does highlight the shortcomings in player development in this country.

If we are are to comment on poor option taking,I wouldn't limit discussions on merely one player. I would include coaching staff in said discussions as well as the players.

Pretty big shoes to fill there.

We certainly don't have the cattle to take on the opposition pack, one out. Forget trying to play like Fiji play 7's. Get the piggies to hunt as a pack,and I believe we will instantly see an improvement in collisions and effectiveness. It's not like spreading them across the park is paying...

I think they have deteriorated over this year,and I think it is Link's tactics. It seems no matter who wears 1-5,they play poorly.you can keep changing the names,but if the structure is flawed you are destined to continue to fail in the same positions.

Touch football had a points system, that limited the top 4 from recruiting players.it was quite strict and most top 4 teams did not have room to recruit outside players at all,and were forced to rely on existing players and juniors.
