Wallabies 2023
- Thread starter RugbyReg
- Start date
Few calls go our way in that quarter final against England and rwc 2019 could have been very different for us.
I was replying to a very poor comment.
I think we can win the thing if we get the right, attacking team on the field playing the Australian way.
I think he’ll do a great job. Reminds me of the NZ set up a few years ago when they switched the roles of their coaches. Brilliant. Innovative. This is a proper Australian Wallabies team.

Reading Christy's piece about Skelton's reaction to being named captain has me quite curious to see how he goes with it. Skelton admits that he won't be a great speech maker captain. Which I always thought was half the battle for captains, when you're down by 14 and under your sticks, you need to be rallied, sorta time for the captain to whip out a 'once more unto the breach'.
I am hopeful though that Skelton will use the challenge to shake off past accusations of laziness and give that extra 5% that's been missing. A frenetic, barnstorming Skelton for 60 minutes would be cool.

This is what I think will happen, he doesn't seem to be the loudest or most vocal, a strong leadership group could assist him but yeah I think we will really get the best out of him. He's also the most experienced with French culture and language and I think he could be a real off-field leader in that area.
Yikes.
The Roar can reveal that Brad Davis, who was announced as Eddie Jones’ attack coach in May, has quit effective immediately. He is likely to become Les Kiss’ defence coach at Queensland Reds.

What an absolute clusterfuck. I know Eddie is an asshole who is abrasive but that's incredibly immature by Davis. It's the world cup for your country, grin and bear it for two months then go bitch about it in your autobiography 10 years later. He'll also have to interact with Eddie for the next 5 years as a Reds coach. Stupid.
Edit:
As Slim has pointed out, it might not be about Eddie. I swear the initial article I read implied it was because of a breakdown between Eddie and Brad but if it isn't and for genuine personal reasons, fair Brad, hope what ever is going on is okay.

My recollections of Randwick were they had great running backs but there forwards were better than most teams in the comp in my day. Don't care how good we run with the ball, it must be won and kept by a good bunch of fwds.

That is a shit thing to do and I hope he never gets another go as a national coach for any country. Mind you hard to see what he'd achieved...Yikes.

Wh...What? I don't agree with quitters with the proviso that Jones hasn't sacked him, which he is highly capable of doing.
