We are struggling to score tries and squandering opportunities but other teams are struggling to score against us as well.
I understand what you are saying Bh, but my view is that I don't really give a running rat's red rectum what other teams are doing. The ARU doesn't pay the Wallaby coach to fix those things.
My concern is the first part of your sentence; We are struggling to score tries and squandering opportunities. The ARU does pay the Wallaby coach to fix those things.
I made a comment during the game that a bloke with a one inch penis had better penetration potential than our backline (and the Aussie bowling attack, but that is another story). How can we be so fucking toothless with the talent we have?
One thing I think is worthwhile looking at, is that during Deans tenure we have produced (arguably) some world XV players: Beale, Genia, Ioane, Cooper, etc.
How many would make that team now? We are average in all aspects of the game, across all positions. Where once Australian rugby celebrated flash play and special players, now it seems we are strangling that flash and constricting those special players. And if you don't conform, then fuck off.
The Deans attacking game plan looks something like this: Pick, go, stop. Pick, go, stop. Pick, go, stop. Throw wide. Stop. Pick, go, stop. Kick away. Defend.
3 out of 4 on this EOYT? So fucking what. I defy anyone to say we played well on this tour. The Pom game was our best game, but the others were dire. It could have very easily been 1 out of 4. It should have been.
The argument that it wasn't so move on, helps no-one.
