Wallabies 2023

[Marce]

Is it eddie being eddie or a bit of they were a bloody good side from 2015-2019?

They were a good side in 2015 and couldn't get out of the pool in their own WC. Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's

Well he has done 8 straight wins against us, so maybe doesn't know Oz rugby.. But he does know how to beat us.

P.S I think we will do the smelly dirty soap dodging orcs..

I mean who's surprised. He even said we're easy to beat (under Cheika) because we played the most easily countered rugby ever.

You can't blame him for them being shit and then in the other hand disregard him when there good..

Beat us last time out to.

Sample size of 1 for Rennie in England with an understrength squad - especially important keys missing (Ala'alatoa + Tupou).

Let's see how he goes this time round then judge.

Slips at TH????

That looks like Bell at LH and Porecki at hooker (white arm + Longeran opposite him) so maybe that's the starting front row packing down.

1. Bell
2. Porecki
3. Slipper

16. Longeran
17. Sio
18. ?

Or it's just a training photo and read nothing into it.

He’s got a cap on! I don’t think it’s a legit scrum session.

By the sounds of it, you're not reading too much into it.

GR reporting that TT likely out, HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) sent home injured and Slipper moving to TH.

"The news will likely force a front row re-think, with loosehead James Slipper in the frame to switch to the other side so the Wallabies do not lose experience in the first Test in Perth this week."

Tupou in doubt for first Test as injuries bite Wallabies front row

Powerhouse prop Taniela Tupou, the face of the Wallabies’ three-Test campaign against England, is at long odds to take the field.

From what I can tell, Slipper at 18. Sio reserve LHP.

He heard of this thing called a scrum cap but hasn't quite worked out the details yet.

Kaitu'u re-signs until '24.

Apologies for bringing up gambling again but England are paying $10 for a series clean sweep. Not bad odds for fans like me who are miserable pessimists.

michael cheika does not coach the wallabies anymore. A sweep is very unlikely.

I’ve been burned by hope before.

It's not like Rennie has had an easy schedule but his win record is just below 50% (9.5 out of 20). Cheika finished on 35/68.

I'd love a breakdown of MC from 12-15 & 15-19

In terms of what? His coaching record at the Stade/Waratahs v Wallabies? Why?
