He still has issues with passes over 10m right to left, you would think that he would have worked through these glaring areas of weakness in his game

HIs kicking game is still shit.
From hand and from the tee. Still better than Barrett though.
Strong 6 iron.
Haha.
"You want an example?! Here's a bloody example! (insert vague, proof-less sweeping statement)".
AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) definitely did pass a lot more than he was given credit for. Foleys kick are definitely getting more distance than they did 2-3 years ago. Beale improved his defence out of sight in 2015/16/17.
Julian Savea is still a turnstyle in defence. So are Aaron Smith and Jordie Barrett and ALB when under pressure. Israel Dagg is very hot-and-cold under the high ball, Fekitoa has poor handling, Beaudan Barett still can't goal kick to an international standard.
Jantjies overplays his hand, Ford / Farrell can lose control of a game under pressure, Etzebeth is easily goaded into doing dumb shit, etc. etc.
Name almost any All Black / English / Welsh / South African player and I can probably find you a deficiency they've been known for their entire career.
Not necessarily doubting this view of Hooper, but I wonder what posters are basing this on?
Nothing to me shows that he doesn't have the respect of the players.
Coleman shouldn't be given the captaincy IMO. Captaincy tends to dull the enforcers ability to enforce.
Wouldn't mind Foley as a VC. He's been very active in (trying atleast) to uphold standards at the Tahs this year and he's been very talkative on the field.

DHP a dark horse for captain? Has pretty much started every test for the Wallabies for the last couple of years, plays the full 80 most games, is level headed and speaks well.
When he's taken the role at the Force, his ref management has been good as well. Certainly not petulant as Moore, Hooper and Genia come across as sometimes when dealing with the refs.
Possibly a bit too far away from the action. But maybe it could result in him taking a few more of the kicks for touch instead of Foley, which would be a huge boost for the Wallabies.

Looks are relatively. Not good looking for a catwalk model, perfect 10 for what a lock should look like.I'll fall back to my "almost any" clause here.
Skelton physically dominated him this year when they met in Super Rugby???
He's not a particular stellar looking bloke???
His interviews are pretty shite???
Thats all I can come up with.
