Former star players are regularly rubbish analysts. There are probably former star players out there coaching that aren't any good at that either. Larkham?

Kuridrani got worst on field for mine. Foley wasn't far behind him.It was a few. Maybe you mistook some of Kuridrani's for him too.
Kepu looked very lethargic compared to his conditioning last year.

Yep, fully agree.
Give then 40 minutes each at 7, and find a tall 8 who can barge, run, tackle, jump in the line outs, push in the scrums, and pass.
I know Kieren Read is otherwise occupied, but surely we have his twin somewhere in Australia.

Nah, definitely not worst on field............
I thought Kuridrani was the least worst back in the first half along with Genia, but at around 50 mins in decided to really get into the shit show............

And Cheika put them there despite the fact they have performed similarly in all tests this year.

Best player in the world atm and imo better now than Carter. Always a pleasure to watch him at work.

And got right into it, that drop in particular. When we were down to 0 12's who got the gig, was it him or DHP?

I agree with the change but am also aware it wont change a thing.
I cant see a possible way of us beating the All Blacks twice in a row, cut the old players and look forward to the next world cup and start giving young guys a chance.
I dont think we have any 15 man combination that can beat them twice

Give credit where credit is due... he's only wrong 99.9% of the time, Still that 0.1% he gets it right... probably from chance.

We had so many forwards in the midfield it's hard to tell........
My best guess would be Moore or Hooper.
Seriously though........ I think it was Kuridrani?
The stewards have asked for a photo, with many vying for that prize! Moore and Simmons (if only for the lineout debacle), DHP gave it a nudge too. But I think those two were close to a dead heat.

In fairness, who would you put there and be confident they would perform?

Well these are supposed to be professional players. Some with over 100 tests, most with more than 30, yet they cannot kick for shit (as I and others have been discussing for the past 10 years so it shouldn't be a secret but then our deluded coaches think that is "running rugby"), their passing is also poor fundamentally so when its under pressure its magnitudes of order worse, and over this year the individual defensive skills have also declined. The 23 players and probably most Australian players should all be arrested and charged for Fraud. They have been accepting money under false pretences. They are getting paid professional money and time and again fail to produce professional standards. Regardless of the result the actual standards produced by the players is just fundamentally poor.
A few of players standout for special mention:-
1) Moore - Doesn't deserve to be selected on form, probably not even in the 23 IMO. Simple. Waste of space as captain.
2) Simmons - if he is the best lineout forward in Australia we have a real problem. The lineout improved when Moore (supposedly a better thrower than TPN) and Mumm came on.
3) To'omua - very poor tackle technique again has him concussed. How many times is that now that he has knocked himself out in a tackle?
4) Kurindrani is third best 13 in Australia behind Kerevi and Folau. Far too many tackles missed and balls turned over for zero metres (negative in reality) made.
The Wallabies have now proved that they can lose by a record margin against England with close to 70% of possession and against the All Blacks with 30%.
Chieka would be sacked if there was a viable alternative.

Steady on. He's not put in any performance at first-five that gets near Carter's showing in the 2005 Lions second test.
