So he’s most likely gone for all of super next year12mths
Yep. Nella came back quite quickly from his in November but Quade took a couple more monthsSo he’s most likely gone for all of super next year
To use Tupou as a reference for a big front rower, his turnaround was ~7-8mo, but that was definitely on the quicker end of the scaleHow long is a ruptured archilles typically?
6-9 months according to any orthopod. Too many factors that will dictate the recovery period.How long is a ruptured archilles typically?
I wonder what the 'interview' was like when they got Eddie. I mean, on one hand, you have Dave Rennie who has been working for the past 3 years trying to build a squad that can compete at the RWC. He wasn't trying to build for 2027.
Was EJs pitch along the lines of
'Nah, fuck 2023. I'm just gonna use that to build for 2027!'
I know we won't know how successful EJ (Eddie Jones) (Eddie Jones)'s coaching is until after the RWC but really...what were RAs expectations for him in the RC and Bledisloe? I mean, I realise it's only 3 games in but I don't see where EJ (Eddie Jones) (Eddie Jones) is getting anything different than Rennie.
Except apparently he doesn't really care about this RWC....and Rennie did.
If you think it takes a wonderful imagination to wonder what RA's expectations for the Rugby Championship and Bledisloe this year were, then no wonder you are an EJ (Eddie Jones) fan.Wonderful imagination you have there …..
Some people seem to think that 2023 results don't matter so long as the Wallabies are competitive against the BIL and in the next RWC. Rennie was already competitive against the top teams last year even with all the injuries and unavailability.NZ sticking up for Rennie.. shock.
Rennie was shit, had to go. So is Eddie so far but he's had 3 games, Rennie had 3 years.
I totally agree.2023 results matter but the RWC was always the plan, a close semi loss and potentially coming 3rd would be a success from where we are right now.
If he makes the RWC final and loses (or even wins...) do you think anyone cares about the past 3 matches?
If we go out in the quarters yeah Eddie's been a total fucking disaster.
Working for thee years only to lose to Italy, master planI wonder what the 'interview' was like when they got Eddie. I mean, on one hand, you have Dave Rennie who has been working for the past 3 years trying to build a squad that can compete at the RWC. He wasn't trying to build for 2027.

Rennie would've lost to SA in SA and likely lost at home to NZ (although prob much closer !). He would not have lost to Arg at home likely. Although he did have 2 draws against them at home in 2020 but I do think that side was worse than the current one.
There is nothing more annoying than someone defending a guy that lost 70% of his matches just because he was born in the same country as them
Speaking of living off reputation, when did Rennie last win anything?You guys underestimate how much the playing group backed Rennie; while there were injuries there was a great culture within the group that’s probably been eroded with the introduction of Jones.
I think in reality we traded a good coach for a lesser one who has been living on his reputation for the last four years but more comfortable in front of a camera.
