RWC 2019 1/4 Final England vs Australia

[KOB1987]

I'm officially rooting for Ireland now

I’ll just pick whoever wins tonight! Just someone kill these poms.

 

[Viking]

Beside Kerevi no loss.

Kerevi, Arnold, Latu, Pocock all losses.

the only great thing about this performance is that there is nothing in the ref's performance to hide behind..

england won fair and square and deserved it but Arnold being penalised, shocking decision
i'm not dirty i won on the match just garces drives me crazy

 

[molman]

Hooper can articulate all the issues.. but yet the team kept doing them.. why???

 

[Silverado]

Petaia and MK were the only saving graces. Both brillo.

They were ok...hardly brillo

 

[Joe King]

A new coach won't solve the issues facing Australian rugby. People have assumed that for the last few coaches, all of whom have been very promising, including Cheika.

I think this is just the way it is. We need to accept our place at about 6th-8th until we fix the structures and the development of players at a younger level.

A

You'll be one of the few to say Petaia had a bad game tonight, and even one of the fewer who struggle to see the potential and excitement about Petaia.

adam you really need to read posts properly I was saying given not seen lot of petaiai whether hype justified where I said with performance tonight can see why

Seriously mate who would think otherwise - read posts

Well, based on the last four years that was a fairly predictable result for the Wallabies.........

 

[Brumby Runner]

We need to get back to our game plan. We fall into England's at the moment.

???

 

[Sir Arthur Higgins]

Disagree. England have shown they have little weakness. can defend well, score points everytime they have possession. They will do well this tournment.

Subs poor, but they are playing catch-up rugby.

Agree agree but they won’t win. We made mistakes and were poor at times. Replace us with better opposition and I think England struggle.
Ford is a great kick tho. Yikes!

 

[Pokinacha]

24 or 48hrs until Cheika resigns?

 

[Derpus]

???

My thoughts exactly.

 

[kickingtee]

24 or 48hrs until Cheika resigns?

Hopefully the post-match press conference.

 

[molman]

Well, based on the last four years that was a fairly predictable result for the Wallabies...

Agree. We really needed to be playing France tomorrow.. not England tonight.

 

[Derpus]

24 or 48hrs until Cheika resigns?

His contract is up.

 

[notapatrioticboneinme]

Beside Kerevi no loss.

Arnold! you obviously suffering post-loss delusion mate

 

[fatprop]

We were f*cked from moment the poms went 2 tries up, from then on we were playing catch up, they soaked up the pressure, made us play from shit areas of the ground and just tightened the screws

Well done England, too good

Nah, I can't buy that......... the Wallabies coaching staff/selections/tactics have been poor.

We should be a much better team.

 

[jollyswagman]

Any chance Eddie will take over from TGC?

Yep and have better administration of our game - I think in view of really past poor Rugby Australia leadership you could put best coach in the world in charge of wallabies and they would still suck in fans eyes

Rugby Australia improved but from low base
