Nah time is money. Things to do, places to go, people to see.Hey at least you've won a game this year
What other issues are there with the Boks? Let it all out Blue
No, in all seriousness, it really is not good for my health to spend too much time thinking about it.

It's quite uncanny this whole thing. Two different paths but the Wobs and Boks have arrived at a very similar place.
A hooker and captain who is under performing and the staring of captaincy seems to be dragging them down.
Unbalanced backrow.
Problems at 10. Questionable game plan (in different ways).
Only difference is you guys have a coach who you can have faith in. Ours is .

He has to try stuff Cheika. Now is as good a time as any.
Timani, Godwin, Folau at 13.
May I remind everyone of the definition of insanity: "Doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result."
I know this thing intimately, according to Mrs Blue.

Cheika was the one who put him there even though he is not a wing. Cheika should own that error of decision making if he drops him.

He's been trying plenty. Double 7's, double 10's, double LHP's. Actually, make that triple LHP's, one starting and two on the bench. Aparantly if it's worth doing it's worth doing twice. ;-) ;-) But only if you can't manage thrice! ;-) ;-) ;-)
One of the more amusing issues I've recently seen was Aus-Eng. Aus with 7-7-6 in the back row. And England with 6-6-8. (We didn't win the battle of confusing back rows.). :-(
(And yet we persist.)

You've got more faith in DHP than the rest of us covering both 11 AND 15

Do you need a win that badly, Blue?

A defense coach on the ball might actually do better.

Nah that's BS. Cheika doesn't need to "own" the fact DHP missed so many tackles. Maybe you can blame one for inexperience and poor positioning but half of those missed tackles had nothing to do with being on the wing and everything to do with poor technique.
I don't recall Folau missing any tackles when he played wing in his 3 tests - first time playing that position too. (B&I Lions).
I'm sure many fullbacks/wingers have done the same in the past. DHP has no-one but himself to blame.
We used up the "not a winger" excuse during the England series, now it's over... he's simply a poor tackler.

Where is HB playing at the moment? Please remind me. And I think the idea that Mitchell is available and fit was pretty much rebuked a couple of posts above.

Not aware of mitchell being injured. If correct, not sure why he is in the squad all the way from France just to to rehab.

Technically he's on injury leave with his wages being provided by his insurance and making use of the Wallaby training and rehabilitation facilities while in Australia.
Or something like that.

So if he's got such poor technique that has been exposed on multiple occasions, it does beg the question why he's being selected if it hasn't been addressed. That is Cheika's responsibility.
