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....

Yeah - for the first b50 minutes he made ground over the gain line with every touch. Along with Folau, they were our only go forward players. Then he reverted to his early days poor hands. In line for a rest I think.

You've missed the point, just as the ARU missed the point year on year. The systems are shit. yes, but your attitude accepts that it is beyond fixing. If that is the case just give up. F^%$ managing expectations. Play to win or don't bother. That means accepting that you may well lose but at least seek to improve skills and application.

No use bringing up the Bok, they like France are hamstrung by their own structural issues. The Pumas likewise. England is finally getting their shit together and Wales would beat the Wallabies far more often if they had a coach that had some semblance of an idea of what to do.

Being professional has been lost to a large degree in Australia across many professions because far too many people obtain a position and a bit of paper and they have "achieved" professionalism. They then become stagnant apart from expanding their paper portfolio. No skill development from then on. Name me a Wallaby back that is better today than they were when they debuted for the Wallabies.

I do not accept that our Pro players have less potential than AB players. In fact there are some individuals like Folau and a few others that have a greater potential, achieving that potential take decent coaching and application by the players.


This is a brilliant post. The endless hunt for perfection is what created people like Lionel Messi and Michael Jordan. Closest person we have to that is Izzy.

At this point I expect the usual suspects to come out and say it's not as bad as all that, the ARU are doing a great job, the current CEO and all previous ones have done great jobs.

Well, actually the usual suspects are very quiet atm. Must say I am not holding my breath waiting for them to acknowledge the problems now very apparent in this Wallabies' side.

From the last 15 years supporting the national team, tonight's performance surely ranks as one of the most insipid, and generally deflating as a fan. Drastic action needs to be taken to show the loyalists (there won't be many others sticking around) there is even a sliver of hope for the future. They have under one week to do so, or Australian rugby might have signed its own death certificate.

Absolutely. From a Cheika team which is suppose to all be about aggression and intensity it reeked of a lack of effort. Especially on defence. No attitude in the tackle and no work off the ball.

Then there's the usual lack of skill and execution we are use to seeing.

But most disappointing part for me was the passive attitude in both attack and defence.
