It's not just our throws though. We had wrong numbers at one point. Lifters havent been good either.

But yes a true throw would help.

The throw has to be more than just instrumental in the failure of the lineout. Even when the world's best lineout caller came on in the second half and weaved his form of magic, we lost practically every lineout on our throw. Can we put the Simmons myth to bed once and for all?

Wtf did Foley do so much worse than anyone else? We didn’t win a scrum or lineout.

Set piece was disgusting- Barrett showed how a 10 should play. If we are celebrating that Foley wasn't the worst on the field and didn't screw up too badly it shows where we are at. Attack starts at the 10 and we had nothing tonight.

How's this for an idea, how about Chieka resign and take Larkham you heir apparent with you. You blokes have absolutely no idea.

Since 2015 have the Wallabies won a series at home or had what can be called a successful EOYT.

The set piece being so absolutely woeful just proves how poorly prepared they were. Last year it was the most diabolical defensive system a tier one test side has put out, this year that has been fixed with some magnificent defence in the first half, but the total lack of a set piece destroyed that in the second 40. THEN when we look at the attack Larkham and Chieka seem to like watching league, because that is about all they have coached. Pass it laterally between the sidelines and that is what passes for attack. (Just heard Hooper say he thinks they "created a lot tonight" f*&^%%$ hell, you really think that Michael, obviously you need $6M to play rugby because you haven't got anything between your ears to do anything else.

Man such emotion. Simmo and his calls IMO made a palpable improvement, but an improvement on kak.

But no it doesnt have to be be Simmo, and no the caller cant resolve a fucked line out.

Right now though, I'd say Cheika will be looking at plenty of changes in the line out. But Simmo wont be on that list.

Certainly didn't seem like a 25 point win nor a 38 point performance. Too much reliance on individual brilliance and the opposition making mistakes, be they forced or unforced. Nice skills to have but not comfortable (over)relying on them so much.

Thor needs to be fit as ainsley was towled in super rugby so was always likely to be towled in all blacks test.

Man fuck all this 'replace the coach' or 'replace this player'.

We will never win the Bledisloe. Ever. I'll never pay to see it again. It's time to shelve it.

If Rugby is to ever improve in Aus we need to stop being NZs punching bags and we can't do that shit by playing them 3 times a year.

Plus, first test in Sydney every year we get fucking fluffybunnyed by nz. Hows that going to go for your fan attendance?

We won the first LO when he came on. There was I think a palpable lift. But the set piece was kak, 100% improvement is simply double kak.

Anyway, I'll stick to my theory that Simmo is not something that will be changed in this line out right now.
