I don't think beales positives are worth the negatives but I don't blame him for a speculator with 4 min to go and down by 17

Eddie didn't need a 'plan' basic bloody rugby has been capable of beating this side since the start of 2016.

A disappointing but entirely expected outcome. Lost the two tests we played against other tier 1 teams, which fairly well represents where we have been in the last 4 years.

Can any1 in the team reliably drop kick? Coach does not like kicking

Our getting-angry-at-journalists game is tier 1, tho

There is some utter bollocks about setting up for a better kick. It's usually nonsense

Tier 1? Generous. The Japanese are better

"Takes them on!!" Lol

When I was playing at school, we had a point about having someone cover the fullback position even when attacking. Not a thing on test footy?

Because the guy running the show thinks 2 metres gain is worth 4 or 5 carries each by the team's worst ball handlers. It hurts my head

except that they could play the following day at the same stadium WR (World Rugby)/the RWC is not the local court, they can change the rules on the fly if they see fit (or at least with member union approval)

Because playing during the typhoon was the only other option :rolleyes:

It's bizarre that there's no plan for this. If that park is ready on Sunday, there's no good reason they can't have a double-header there that day.

Or maybe the talent is there but either or both of a) the development systems are weak b) the coaching, (other) selections, gameplan and (general) execution at the wallaby level are creating an environment where even an excellent 10 would struggle. How many backrow and centre combinations...

You are using a world cup we didn't win as evidence to support an approach in circumstances where our main priority is to win a world cup? We were an awful lot closer to getting beaten in the 1/4 final than winning the final.

I'd like to note (if it hasn't already been discussed in this thread) the evident value in picking a bigger guy at 6, giving us two legit big backrowers. Those two units were everywhere on Saturday night.

Shame we didn't have Maddocks playing in the centres last night, eh? We really screwed the pooch playing JOC (James O'Connor).

Can you articulate what it is that you would expect TK to do to "show enough" to stay in the XV? When you have an inside centre that is getting across the advantage line all night, the best thing you can do in attack is support him. They mightn't operating together that well at the moment, but...

Mitchell is available lol

Id be willing to judge the WC on its merits of we won it. If we came out of the gate a completely different side and executed smart rugby on our way to the title, I'd be willing to accept that MC hat finally figured out test footy. If we stumble our way to a victory, the beneficiaries of some...
