Rugby Championship 2025: South Africa v Australia

Wow. Full memory of why I drank the EJ (Eddie Jones) (Eddie Jones) Koolaide.

Gee it would be good to see Link back in the game.

It was interesting how many times Link highlighted a player who was blooded by EJ (Eddie Jones) at that horrible RWC

Clearly didn't talk much about Tom Wright then. Or Len Ikitau. Or Harry Wilson.

I won't tolerate Eddie or anyone affiliated with Eddie taking even the smallest ounce of credit for this.

The only players that debuted under Eddie Jones who played against South Africa were Tom Hooper and Zane Nonggorr.

There were only 13 out of the 23 from Ellis Park that made that Rugby World Cup squad.

Any suggestion that Eddie Jones laid the groundwork for where the team is now seems wildly inaccurate.

Blame beale on that one

It wasn't that simple, so let's not go there.

It’s wasn’t that complicated either.
One of the most depressing things I’ve ever seen in sport was watching him walking down the tunnel after the press conference.

I find it really disappointing what has happened with Campo. I’m not saying it’s anyone but his own fault, but -
- Campo is one of the most enjoyable players I ever got the privilege of watching. As a rugby fan truly grateful I got to see him in his prime.
- Further to that I have had the privilege of attending a number of free coaching sessions Campo ran. They were really enjoyable. He was very generous with his time and whilst he wasn’t in any way the type of larrikin story teller that a lot of the ex-players are I found him very engaging
- I do think he is genuinely deeply passionate about Australian rugby

Unfortunately his public comments these days are a disservice to both himself and the game which is a real shame because the guy should be revered in Australian rugby but, because of his own actions, he is not at all
