Wallabies 2025

For those wondering about who should be the ten for 25. Yes, it is one game and Brumbies/Reds are yet to play, but have a look at the last play in the Force game against Moana Pasifika. Donaldson did something that none of the other current fly halves very rarely do in Australian Rugby. He ran it and split the defence wide open, then he had the pace to score on his own.

It is only one game and he has always shown glimpses of this. He needs to produce consistent performances regularly and sure, then I can agree with you. He definitely has gas and on an injured ankle too. Hope it isn’t serious. However it was a cracking bloody play to win the game! Not forgetting the forwards not making a mistake for 20 odd phases after the bell and Tizano throwing him a great pass from the ruck!

Get ROG in the tent ASAP. Get him in behind the scenes for the Lions/TRC post the top 14 final (or when they get knocked out towards the end of June).

We need to look at the other coaches too as I'd imagine Mike Cron and Lord won't continue.

Okay anyone willing to play the game of way too early Wallabies predictions based on the first round of SRP (Super Rugby Pacific)?

I'll start.

JOC (James O'Connor) will end up starting a handful of games for the Crusaders and actually play pretty damn well. He will get selected for the Lions Tour as the first player under the 'JOC (James O'Connor) Law' whereby any Australian player who competes in SRP (Super Rugby Pacific) is eligible for selection and it doesn't count towards our 'Giteau Law' limits.

He will come off the bench in the first Lions test and play horribly and we will lose the game and then he will retire at the end of the tour.

Agree that it seems crazy that Rugby AU would upend a super rugby side by taking one of their coaches, plus they might be able to get Kiss or Larkham to be involved as assistants instead later in the year.

If an announcement is about to be made soon it does look like an outsider, hopefully ROG and not Cheika (I rate him but the lessons learned from going back to Eddie and Wales going back to Gatland hopefully put us off that idea). I think ROG would be open to the idea of Schmidt staying as a consultant

What it does (or should do) is put them on the same level. One ought to not be favoured simply because he has background with the current but soon to be departed national coach.

Cheika meets with Waugh as search for next Wallabies coach heats up

Former Wallabies coach Michael Cheika took Australia to the 2015 Rugby World Cup final. Could he be the shock choice to replace Joe Schmidt and go one better in 2027?

Please no!
Michael Cheika remains in the frame for a return to the Wallabies head coach role after meeting with Rugby Australia chief executive Phil Waugh in North Sydney on Tuesday.

And
Waugh subsequently said an existing shortlist of potential options was “very targeted” and highlighted RA’s desire for “continuity” and to build on nationally aligned platforms they’d been establishing for the last year. That strongly suggested the most likely targets were Queensland’s Les Kiss, The Waratahs’ Dan McKellar and the Brumbies’ Stephen Larkham.
