Wallabies were hot garbage today, and it was the basic skills of the game that they were found wanting in. Poor handling, poor kicking, runners being isolated into contact, poor and ineffective clean outs
I don't care who the coach is or what the game plan is, these things are supposed to be bread & butter things for any rugby team, amateur or professional. We are a nation of great athletes and with abysmal rugby IQ
Unfortunately the coach and the game plan goes a lot further to winning a game then just having brilliant athletes / that’s the beauty of rugby it’s quick, physical however game plan is massive
1. We picked jones to come back
2. Jones made the massive Calls to drops plenty of senior players with hundreds of games of experience
3. Made many odd calls including 1 x 10. 1 guy who can play 10 abit so not a 3rd 10 and no senior 10 which most people questioned
4. Picked guys who were struggling to hold a place in their super rugby side
5. The coach decides the game plan so all the box kicking, kicking from petaia most of that is decided early
6. He is now backtracking and realising gorden only was a mistake at 10
7 jones picked the 33 man squad and left out players
8. He picks the 23 man squad and has not got the bench right
9. Picking an inside centre and winger on the
bench and not putting players on at the right times
so yes I believe the Coach and game plan are massive which atm we have no idea what we are doing and placing young guys at risk of failing
