For me, Wilson deserves a spot in the starting side after his game against georgia. Id put hooper on the bench

interesting to see Schidt dumping guys like Lancaster and Cale and bringing in guys like Toole (who is equally inexperienced at this level).. I'd like to think that he's not completely discarding those guys, but instead just opting to have a look at some other 'fringe' guys to see who really...

Also in circumstance where our set piece is actually one of the few aspects of the team's performance that has been functioning fairly well consistently, I'm not sure it would be wise to simply throw Skelton in to the starting side. Schmidt said words to the effect that he was open to guys...

Thought tate was good. For me gordan and tate are in the 23.

Just finished the game. classic rocks and diamonds performance from the wallabies. The positive for me was that i thought, at times, we played the best rugby we have in more than 18 months. The real postive was the forward pack (in particular the back 5). The set piece was solid and the backrow...

Respectable first half effort all things considered

Wales comfortable favorites with the bookies. I could see the game being close for the first half but expect wales to run away with it.

I'm looking forward to seeing what Wilson can produce this weekend. I thought he was outstanding in Super this year and feel like he was unfairly overlooked by Eddie last year. Now he's got his chance he really needs to take it...expecting a big performance. I think if he really shines he...

I actually found the game pretty entertaining. A very flawed performance from the wallabies but im going to be fair given that schmidt really cant be expected to turn around the team in just a few weeks. In terms of the positives, we led the whole game, took our chances and defended well. i...

For what its worth i didnt watch any of the world cup games because of the eddie debacle and today was my first post in 12 months or so...last weeks game, and the prospect of rebuilding under a coach who seems to at least have a real vision and sensible approach to selection, has brought me back...

Interested on people's thoughts on charlie cale starting. He looks like an exciting prospect and im glad to see schmidt give him a shot, im just wondering whether he's the best choice to replace wright in the starting side. Personally id probably prefer to see wilson slot in a 8 (or even hooper...

Interesting to read people's comments regarding JS. I won't profess to know much about him but I do like to hear that he instilled the importance of good ball possession in the Irish set up. As a kid I always remember that being a strong suit of the Australian game. Under Jones we seemed to be a...

Nervous about this game. My gut feeling is its a make or break game.. win this and i see us going on to top the group, lose it and we probably dont make the quarters. could be a really shit monday

Ill add it was nice to see Donaldson have a good game after so many people (myself included) shitting on his selection. Good for him

My two cents: 1. If i was to rate the wallabies performance id say maybe B-/ C+. Georgia arent terrible and at no point did we really ever look at risk of losing so that's good. That said there was still cause for concern moving forward. 2. The wallabies once again came out firing on all...

Wallabies are currently 13-1 to get knocked out in the pools. Honestly i think thats pretty good odds given that theyve not won a game this year... its not crazy to think they could lose to fiji and wales

If we were going to carry a player in the 15 solely for their goal kicking I'd pick Hodge over Donaldson 7 days a week. You just get the feeling that every decision Jones has made has been more about preparing young guys for the next world cup, rather than winning the current one. really hope...

i have low expectations but at this stage there's nothing to do but get behind the team 100%

Nailed it

Foketi can play 10? So if gordon goes down injured in the first half we're basically fucked? Seems to me like eddies only option is to include donaldson in the 23 in every game. I think the idea that we wont need to rely heavily on our back up 10 is fraught with danger particularly given that...
