You know Cheika doesn't analysis the opposition. So he only knows the 2013-15 Tahs and 2014-19 Wallabies. You can safely assume he knows 0% about any other players besides those two teams.

Defence? When was the last time we were outscored in tries in tests? We outscored England over the series and I think some or most of the EOYT sides last year. Maybe NZ in TRC last year.
I think our defence is up there with the best. Discipline is our problem area.

Until last week people used say that about Cheika and that Rennie is different so he was going to beat England. If my mathematics are OK, coaching by Rennie the record against Eddie is 1/4.
So maybe Cheika and his controversial players like Phipps/Simons weren't the only issues as well as Rennie isn't now. Maybe Cheika, Rennie, Deans and McKenzie weren't the issue and the problem is deeper

Quade Cooper would have been the difference…

I agree the problem almost certainly is deeper but I disagree regarding Rennie and Cheika, both have very different styles of coaching.

Cheika couldn't beat Eddie Jones as Wallabies coach(1-8), Rennie neither(1-3). Both are useless or maybe Eddie is a genius, he always finds a way to beat Australia lol

So Kerevi is going to play the Sevens World Cup after the f*cking Commonwealth Games???

My comment said nothing about the 7s World Cup. but I kind of hope he does now to see how you cope with it

It's just logical thinking. You have 3 spots for overseas players, Rennie called Rory (according some users) so you have to release one spot. Koroi and QC (Quade Cooper) looks compromise with the team, so the answer is quite simple.
and Angus Bell to be ruled out with Matt Gibbon called up.

How did Matt Gibbon go in Aus A games? I didn't get to watch the games unfortunately, but very happy they're back. I would have guessed Tom Robertson would have been next cab off the rank.

He was probably the best of the props, particularly with Robertson having shifted to tighthead for the tournament
yep - Wilson nails it. I actually thought Robertson played really well. But Gibbon was great as well and has been part of the extended Wallaby squad for a couple of years. Great recognition for him. Love those Gibbon brothers - they've had an incredible life journey so deserve all the success they get.
