I wouldn't mind one bit if he steps away from coaching the Wallabies and adopts a Nucifora style role with RA.
It would be fun having him doing a "Rassie" and running the water in a Bled matchI wouldn't mind one bit if he steps away from coaching the Wallabies and adopts a Nucifora style role with Rugby Australia.

Yeah, besides Izzy scored 8 tries in his first Super Rugby season (tied second overall for the season) in a beaten team that won 8, lost 8 and didn't make the finals. He played 14/16 gamesI remember seeing that from Folau
Vunivalu had a similar strike rate in his first season. 5 tries in 8 games in a beaten team, finishing tries isn't the issue it's all the other off the ball work.Yeah, besides Izzy scored 8 tries in his first Super Rugby season (tied second overall for the season) in a beaten team that won 8, lost 8 and didn't make the finals.

He played almost 90% percent of the games in their inaugural season. And never got long injuries. He was a starter at international level since his first yearVunivalu had a similar strike rate in his first season. 5 tries in 8 games in a beaten team, finishing tries isn't the issue it's all the other off the ball work.
sure i never said they were, just replied to your claims about try-scoring rates.He played almost 90% percent of the games in their inaugural season. And never got long injuries. He was a starter at international level since his first year
They aren't in the same League
Absolutely. I dont have the full statistics of 2013 season so the tries scored is the easiest to get. But I watched all the Folau's Tahs games and all the Vunivalu's game and I'm sure that Izzy was more important for his teamsure i never said they were, just replied to your claims about try-scoring rates.
Pointing to the number of tries scored by an outside back as a metric only paints half the picture.
Yes and no - his pace has always been a bit deceptive in that he has long strides without much leg speed. The first couple of tries in the below video are pretty on par with what we've seen from him in Union, but the tries after the 1min mark definitely show he has/had more pace in space.Question for the people who watched him in League, did he always look so slow?
In short, no. He would have been an above average Winger for speed. I think he looks slower than what he is because he has the longer strides as opposed to Marika who would be faster but also has pretty incredible leg turnover.Question for the people who watched him in League, did he always look so slow?
Dave Rennie had to be sacked, it was just about letting him do the RWC or not. He was no chance to continue (unless he might've won the RWC).My main concern with Eddies comments is that we sacked a coach to bring Eddie back for what might only be 8-9 months.
If the board didnt know this at the time then thats a great concern
