I blame the lack of French living in Australia for the low numbers, unlike other nationalities *cough* irish and kiwis *cough*
Wallabies v France 1st test - Suncorp 7 June

The average punter barely knows any Wallabies. Without Cooper and Genia it's really only Folau that has any wider recognition. And maybe the Honey Badger.
Moore is a good captain from a playing side of things but Izzy will still be front and centre of all the PR.

Between getting his head punched in last time, the stomping charge and crying on Etihad, at least Horwill was a bit more noticeable as a captain from that point of view.
All Moore does is train hard, play well and keep his nose clean. Can't do anything with that!

you can in time if it brings the right results..
I don't want to sound harsh, or get too personal, but Moore is a pretty boring guy. Speaks in a monotone, never rocks the boat, doesn't seem too vibrant or funny.
Works great on a rugby field, but in terms of promotions he is next to useless. Guys like AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), Folau, Cummins and Hooper will probably lead the PR campaign.

What will bring crowds and media support is WINNING, winning everything or nearly everything.
The fact that Squeak has zero personality (but a fabulous player) makes no real difference. If you want random PR then make The Badger the go-to PR guy for the Wallabies haha

I was actually trying to forget that......
Didn't know you had seen my passing skills. Your assertion is quite correct.
I love Moore, I really do. I just don't want to see him on a panel show like 'the Back Page'.

Scrubber is right, win a lot and people will take notice. NFJ and Eales were great captains and eloquent men, but they weren't exactly zany personalities. It was the excitement machines around them who captured the imagination and the fact that we won an awful lot of test matches during their tenure.

And it actually has to be against another 'A' side. Had a look a the regulations last year - Games against Barbarians & 'World' team do not count apparently.

Jeez barbarian - that is a very brave thing to say expressing your innermost feelings on such a public forum about Stephen.
I congratulate you.
PS I don't want to see him on the Back Page" as well.

I don't want to see anybody on "The Back Page". Especially the current host and panel. Bring back Gibson and Birmingham!

we need the mums to stay at home and look after the kids!
But why sell Moore when you can sell Israel, who is equally clean but also scores tries and looks great on a billboard?

Amen to that. Have been listening to the podcast while on the road and it is a poor imitation of the former show. It's just a collection of bland interviews and funny youtube clips now, where the old show used to discuss sporting issues in real depth with people who knew what they were talking about.

I find they have tried to replace the 12th man, who was both knowledgeable on sport and quite funny, with a rotating cast of 5th panel members who are neither knowledgeable, nor funny, despite their constant attempts at it.
Plus Tony Squires fucking shits me to tears.
