After 20 years? I don't think so

Ridiculous, saying you want to win is fucking miles from claiming you will win. The Kiwis are masters at spinning the former into the latter. Steve Hansen as the sad sack of misery assistant to Graham Henry made a career of claiming "disruspict" every time a Wallaby player / coach etc said they were aiming to win.

 

[cyclopath]

Don't they face the ABs almost every year as the Top 10 nations? And yes, they don't play the Bledisloe but win a series in NZ is the equivalent of win the Bledisloe. They beat NZ at away twice, the Wallabies wet dream

No, they don't. Google can help with this. Neither did England for ages as #1.

The most important thing. WIN a series. Then you can talk, scream, dance or whatever but please win a series

Yeah, OK, so meantime they walk in tugging their forelocks and averting their eyes? Give me a break.

So, plenty of 2-3 years gaps. Same, same, I guess?

When did 59% become almost 100%?

Sadly, the WBs aren't in a position to make noise about it. If this conversation was about the Springboks would be OK for me. The WBs managed to beat them consistenly in the last 20 years despite they won 2 World Cups (2007-2019) but the Bledisloe performances have been pretty poor.

It supposes the Bledisloe should be our State of Origin but there has been no competition in the last 20 years. And that's one of the main reasons why so many Leaguies turned their back on the WBs

When the Bledisole is played in Melbourne the stadium is 50/50 in attedance between Aussies and Kiwis. In Homebush is almost 40% Kiwis. That's say it all

 

[Marce]

Is a word the problem? I said ALMOST. What's the percent for ALMOST? I could say USUALLY, OFTEN or whatever.

The thing is, they aren't Namibia who face the ABs every 10 years. They have faced every coach who led the ABs in the professional Era. And with the current status of Irish rugby, they are gonna face the ABs more often. They and France are the pretty boys in World Rugby ATM

I agree, the Wallabies should sit cross-legged in front of the Haka, making sure not to make eye contact and quietly get up and take their leave to go to their end of the ground to receive the jolly good thrashing.
But seriously, what you wrote has nothing to do with what we're talking about. You're basically arguing that the Wallabies should show no self-belief, no ambition, no confidence in the face of the mighty All Blacks.
And I am saying that's bollocks.

What are you, 12-13 tops? About the same amount of times they've played in the last 21 years eh?

Absolutely not, you need all that stuff but do it in private. In the change room

After 20 years of defeats you can't walk to the field like John Travolta in Satuday Night Fever. Work hard, play hard, beat them and then dance all you want. That's my point

But they don't do that, they really never have. You're making shit up for a shit argument. They aint dancing, they aint wearing a white suit, they're saying they want to try to beat the All Blacks. Not even close to the shit you're posting.
Anyway, I'll waste no more time with you. You make less sense than Rodha. If nothing else, you've achieved that.

They didn't, I never talked about the players but Eddie made racy statements a month ago. With the current Super Rugby results I hope he doesn't make too much noise and works in silence.

So the coach should be silent too. EJ (Eddie Jones) wasn't too racy - I'd say he's setting the expectation that he wants the Wallabies to be competitive

Yeah but he had no impact on Super Rugby performances

 

[BDA]

Not sure if this has been discussed but lolesio's absence is interesting to me...its likely that jones got a good read on him after the england series last year and is passing on him.

Iv always been a lolesio supporter but honestly the fact that he's sharing duties with jack for brumbies isnt great for demonstrating he can carry a wallabies side for 80 mins... seem even larkam thinks he cant command a game for more than 60 mins. I realise thats probably more a tactical decision bit its still telling

 

[BDA]

I gotta say i dont get why wilson misses out and a guy likely hanigan makes it

It says how shit life is over in NZ that one fifth of their population is here
