    Bledisloe 2 - Wallabies vs All Blacks, Wellington, 27 August 2016

    The worst lineout of the night was after Simmons went off - the short one in the second half where they all just slowly ambled to the front and then Mumm got beaten to the ball at 2. It was in slow motion. 1 minute before that the ABs won great ball after their 1 lifter faked on two jumpers in...

    How to fix the wallabies

    Are those state school players now getting scholarships to the Gps schools like they are in Brisbane?

    Bledisloe 2 - Wallabies vs All Blacks, Wellington, 27 August 2016

    It really is a case of who can play themselves out of contention for a spot at 4&5 at the moment isn't it?

    The Wallabies Thread

    Your problem being that they recalibrate every year using the benchmark events - so if we run with the cheap guys every three years and don't perform that well in the World Series the funding will drop back...

    Bledisloe 2 - Wallabies vs All Blacks, Wellington, 27 August 2016

    The team is probably going to be playing the Boks in Brisbane to tie the worst losing streak of the Pro era. Can't have been too many harder draws, but still....

    I sat down tonight to re-watch it and got to Foley's first kick at 4min that went 15m and thought I just can't do it to myself

    Rio Olympics

    Other than being a fair bit less, what is the difference between the winning edge strategy and GB's no compromise stratey. I thought they were pretty much the same?

    AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) at 10 is pretty unlikely alright!;)

    How to fix the wallabies

    Theyre with the Wallabies for June, August, September, October and November, with a couple of camps earlier in the year. Add in the offseason and its really not that much of a difference once you:re in the squad. Eg Izzy will have played 60 games of Super Rugby and 50 test matches by the end...

    Bledisloe 2 - Wallabies vs All Blacks, Wellington, 27 August 2016

    England have made the U20 wc final 7 out of 9 times. We've made it once. Relatively, we may not have the talent. Edit - add in more than 100 Aussies playing Pro Rugby elsewhere as well....

    The Wallabies Thread

    What's been most frustrating about the 2016 wallabies is how many dumb soft tries they've given up Charge downs - multiple times and another very near miss on the weekend No 8 run off the back of the scrum straight through the team's best defender Missed 5m line out straight in for the try...

    Given current salary projections, what chance is there that Hunt stays in Australian rugby? He'll presumably be taking a big payout to do so

    Rugby TV Ratings 2016

    Need to add another couple of hundred thousand for regionals as well. 1m+ is good. 5-600k is bad. So somewhere in the middle

    Vodacom Rugby is giving 12 to the Wobs. Which may just show how little they matter.

    Has anyone with the playing credentials of Larkham or Thorn ever proven to be a good international coach? *Ellas the exception that prove the rule

    Is it really fair to play QC (Quade Cooper) at Eden Park with basically no preparation?

    DHP with the worst kick of the night there, which also takes some beating

    Bledisloe 1 - Wallabies vs All Blacks, ANZ Stadium, Sydney, 8:05pm

    That was the worst lineout of the entire night and that is saying something. Who's the lineout coach?
