It was disappointing as a Wallabies fan to see what happened at this world cup, but it was hardly surprising.
Our world ranking has been pretty poor for a long time, I think we got down as far as 8 or 9 at one point so this season has not been too unexpected. Losing to NZ, RSA and France was pretty predictable. Argentina are pretty good so not such a big surprise that we lot to them too.
Fiji have developed well since the Drua have been around in the domestic competition and then super rugby, Fiji have been getting better and at the last couple of world cups an emerging team has had a big scalp, it sucked to lose to Fiji, but they have been building up to a big win and after their efforts prior to playing us it was not the biggest surprise that we got beaten.
Wales are a decent team and we knew that they can also beat us.
I can accept all of our losses this season, losing so many in a row hurts but we have lost to good teams so it is not the biggest surprise, I think Rennie could also have lost to each team that has beaten us.
But, and the really massive but is that I don't think we would have looked so poor in our losses, the selections have been poor and so has the style of play and I think Rennie would have been closer to wins, but I think he would have had a losing season, especially if he had the same injury crisis each week like Jones has.
At some point we need to recognise where we actually sit in world rugby and realise that we are not among the best teams in the world and we are probably around 8th in the world at our best and on our day we may even upset a top 5 team. I can live with that, but I cant live with it if our coach and selectors allow for poor teams to take the field that make no sense to all but one person in 7.8 billion.
