It says that Queensland rugby was absolute amateur hour. Not much has changed. Eddie Jones had these guys play all of 2 games of high intensity physical footy and they fell to pieces. They couldn't handle it. Because Queenslanders are soft. Eddie got sacked because god forbid, he wanted to drag...

Spiro Zavos wants him out wide ! Oh dear... http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/union-news/deans-needs-to-think-big-and-be-creative-as-time-ticks-down-to-cup-20100706-zz2s.html

Are you kidding ? He was basically our backline coach for a couple of years there. There was a Mat Rogers piece in the SMH at the time where he basically said Bernie was the one breaking defences down and coming up with the set piece moves. Bernie forever !!

Higgenbotham, whilst talented, is a finesse player and a seagull. That is not what we need from the 6 or 8 position. He has a very long way to go.

This has to be one of the most ridiculous posts I've read on here in quite some time. And what's your criticism of Eddie as Queensland coach ? That, omigod, wait for it...he forced their pansy arsed softcock forwards to pick and drive and maul. Whatever will Evil Eddie think of next ? The Reds...

Time to come clean and take the 'R' off your username ! Not sure what Jones has done to earn such ire from some. He did manage to take a pretty mediocre Wallaby side deep into extra time of a RWC Final against the best team England has ever had.

Wow, what's with the hate ? And isn't Robbie Deans' record worse than Eddie Jones' ? Eddie's a great rugby brain and has plenty of interesting comments. Its always interesting hearing from Dwyer, Knuckles, Macqueen - the guys who've been in Robbie's hot seat.

Thanks for the link, good listening. Jones certainly knows his footy. I'm not sure those S14 stats necessarily translate to test rugby. I agree with him about needing a centre who can give us go forward, we're getting outmuscled in midfield. Ultimately as Eddie points out, we're always going...

We need to bring Matt Dunning back so we can all savour the sight of a big man tackling the goalposts in the pre-match warm up.

I think Australian attacking play is completely dependent on getting over the advantage line. We're not good at clean breaks from first phase. We need to string phases together, get some momentum. Our blokes don't do well working as a cohesive unit, so they need structured patterns to work...

No. That's almost as bad an effort as Tim Horan I do wonder how exactly blokes like Horan, Growden and Zavos have jobs commenting on rugby.

Since when have I been anti-Gregan. I spent half my time on Silverfern defending Gregan. Its pretty clear we have a lot of halfback critics who don't recognise the impact shit forward play has on the position.

Aus will do well to win a game. They are appallingly bad. We are closer to Fiji than we are the All Blacks

On the basis of an outstanding performance. Very good call. Seriously, I know you're giving it your best but you have a LONG way to go to even match the clowns at rugbyheaven.

I saw Australia play Ireland on the weekend. But no Wallabies showed up.

Enough with this myth. Are you guys actually watching the games ? There's nobody showing up to the ruck ! Our ruck is a disgrace. He has to step into the ruck, fight for the ball, then step out of that quagmire, find a receiver and clear the ball from the ruck. Enough with this ridiculous...

Because they're handy club players at most ? S14 teams are looking for players with Wallaby potential. The undersized need not apply.

He scrummaged well actually. The commentators said he couldn't continue due to a plantar fasciitis problem. I'm guessing its an ongoing problem for Palmer.

3. Pocock 2. Burgess 1. Cooper

Eastwood with the upset win, 46-29 over the previously undefeated Southern Districts. Southern didn't show up. Eastwood executed very well in attack and their centre combo of Piukala and Lachlan Turner were lethal.
