Could the wallabies lackluster performance in this years The Rugby Championship have something to do with lack of procreation?

As mentioned in this article, only Radike Samo has a family (Sharpe does to i believe), where as in days gone by it was a lot more common for players to have Wife and Kids.

If this is the case, perhaps there needs to be time set a side in camp and on tour for players to actively go about changing this situation.

I thought this was going to be another twitter/Quade thread

So our issue is the players aren't rooting around enough? Having seen some of the pics they post on twitter I'm not surprised they aren't picking up.

Well, Berrick Barnes produced a man of the match performance on the day his first son was born.

Presumably that just means we need to get the players out there rooting more to ensure a steady flow of children to inspire the Wallabies to victory.

If you look at the calendar you'd figure that you need to schedule some serious rooting in September to prepare for the June test series, and then follow it up in November and December to prepare for the Rugby Championship.

They just need another Assistant Coach to train them or is this already the role of Totality Tony? They could recruit the Sex therapist they always get on Q&A?

Perhaps we go to our current FTA broadcaster and save them from their current financial problems with a spin off show of farmer wants a wife.

I'd watch Wallaby wants a Wife.

I blame the women of Australia for not throwing themselves at the players enough.

It obviously correlates to the average age of the team... Without looking into the statistics too much, seems to be pretty standard with the average Australian age for having kids which is up around the late 20's these days

Before we rush into any rash conclusions, are we really saying that James O'Connor needs to have his spawn running around the place?

 

[The Red Baron]

Yeah I don't know about this. You could argue that JO'C got caught with his pants down when he failed to attend the launch of the Wallabies 2011 RWC campaign. Being caught up in bed certainly didn't help him out for the next game.

But he would have totally dominated in May 2012 in Super Rugby if he hadn't been injured at the end of April against the Tahs.

These are all fantastic ideas but watching the game on the weekend at Loftus I remember discussing the Wallabies with my wife and we both agreed that they didn't look like they could organise a root in a brothel.

Maybe we were on to something?

 

[Jiggles]

According to a few sources they can organise a piss up in a brewery though..

Piss up or punch up?

 

[Lindommer]

Unfortunately I think the Wallabies standard has descended to the skill level of organising a bunfight in a bakery. Brothels, breweries? Quite beyond them at the moment.

more rooting? nah
