Wallabies 2023

[rodha]

Was he the real reason behind any of Eddie's successes too?

Ryan is probably too experienced and qualified, that's a problem - far too much of an independent voice, strong-minded coach for Eddie to consider him for the role, knowing Eddie he'll probably get some obscure rugby league player who's only just retired a few years earlier coming on board - only because he'll be too inexperienced and submissive to have the self-confidence to put forward dissenting views.

However a more optimistic - although an extremely unlikely outcome... would see a diverse coaching group consisting of respected individuals: Glenn Ella (England backs 2016), Jason Ryles (England skills 2020), Dan McKellar, Laurie Fisher, Dan Palmer.

Same city, same kick off time, and same Wallaby coach as last Wallaby win in NZ WOB.

That's right, mate. Now you only need Matt Burke, George Gregan, Stephen Larkham, John Eales, Owen Finegan, Andrew Walker, Joe Roff, George Smith and Michael Foley at their prime and that's all. Easy peasy lemon squeezy

Borthwick has selected on form and dropped the guys who Eddie picked solely on reputation - B.Vunipola, Nowell, May, Hill, Cowan-Dickie, Simmons, etc. England are going to improve immensely under the vastly superior young coaches Steve Borthwick and Nick Evans.

First outing did not look all that wonderful.

I don’t think there would be any conflict of interest or care from NZRL is helped out. As an assistant at the Raiders he can help develop talent of other countries as is.

Different tier of nation but Chieka coached Lebanon at the last RLWC whilst still being with the Argies in Union.

Even though England lost so say what you will. Kevin Sinfield was in their coaches box. Also a League stalwart. The sports have more and more transferable skills, especially in the backs and I do think a lot comes from the Polynesian style of direct play which tends to be the same in both games.

Then you see Andy Farrell coaching the best rugby team in the world at the moment and David Kidwell doing a great job in Pumas defence. Why not a succesfull NRL coach can success in RA?

He would be great! Didn’t he coach the Aussie Schoolboys in a victory over the Kiwi boys relatively recently?

Jason Ryles is respected?

Yep, it was their first win in seven years...

Had the Brumbies attack looking sharp in 2020... massive loss when he left the following year.

Hewat would be a good pick up

Hewat would be a good pick up

If the SMH are correct it'll be an all-Brumbies staff: Jones, McKellar, Hewatt, Fisher, Palmer. Just as I predicted a month earlier.

I hope she sees this bro

First outing did not look all that wonderful.

He's since added another 2 outstanding coaches to his backroom staff, Richard Wigglesworth and S&C coach Aled Walters.

England could possibly be World Cup favourites with Aled Walters on board - he was critical towards Boks 2019 campaign.

Jones - played for NSW, coached QLD and Brumbies
McKellar - played for QLD, coached in QLD and at the Brumbies

Lawrie Fisher - Played in ACT, played (and studied) in QLD, coached Brumbies
Dan Palmer - played for Melbourne (ARC), Waratahs and Brumbies, coached Brumbies.

Brumbies QLD Mafia

 

[Brumbieman]

Well well well. The 2nd Bledisloe cup match is being played in Dunedin, do we remember the last time the Wallabies won a test in NZ? Dunedin 2001 and I believe the coach was one Eddis Jones, admittedly that game was at the old house of pain.........but

Just thought I would make your day fellas!

We only won because the ‘House of Pain’ was Eddie’s assistant, but it retired cause Eddie was too mean to it, yet another EJ (Eddie Jones) casualty

 

[Slim 293]

Just imagine if Eddie gets Michael Maguire...

Born in Canberra, played for the Raiders in their glory years... and has recently been hired by them as a consultant.

Wayne Smith is going to have an aneurism.

 

[Brumbieman]

Hewat would be a good pick up

Yup - like Slim said, Hewitt had the Brumbies in 2020 and were sparkling with ball in hand, absolutely manhandled the Chiefs in Hamilton before Kung-flu ruined everything.

Him and Phil Mooney are two blokes who should be on a retainer with RA to make sure their skills benefit us and not rivals.

why so early?

Almost certainly part of the agreement for with Fifa for no major sporting events clashing with Women's WC.
