I look forward to seeing Australia A go out in the group stages.
One was a no-arms tackle. Just very poor technique on that occasion.Can you remember what the 3 were for? I remember one ‘not releasing’ I think? Can’t think of the others?
No, just a realist.
I think it’s a massive disservice to the player to have them come on to debut in that game situation. Can really ruin him.
On penalties, am I right in noting that Darcy Swain had no penalties conceded? If so, that has to be a move in the right direction.

On penalties, am I right in noting that Darcy Swain had no penalties conceded? If so, that has to be a move in the right direction. Together with his disrupting the lineout that led to Robertson's try, his mostly effective receipt of the kickoff (first one excluded), along with Skelton disrupting the Italian maul, his kick chases and challenging for the ball in the air, he had quite a net positive impact on the game. One of the best of the forwards.
Yeah I think I can agree with thatIn terms of individual performances, I thought Skelton and Swain were our best players last night.
With less than a year for WC is impossible. But RA should sign Scott Robertson for 2024 ASAPIt’s time for Dave Rennie to be shown the door
I also am confused. I usually agree with about 98% of what you say. The bit I am confused about is that as the president (I think) of a subbies club you are throwing out support for past RA decisions. The current crowd trying to a good job are constrained by Raelene’s legacy.Uh, right. The utter gibberish confused me.
I don't see why so many posters are so down on Noah after this game. His kicking for touch was a welcome highlight after the very poor efforts by Foley forever. He gave the last pass for Wright's try. His kicking in general play might not be world shattering but was better than anything dished up by others during this tour. He was off target with a couple of early goal kicks, but did find his radar and the conversion of Robertson's try on the sideline was a beauty.Definitely…
Lolesio might not have had the best game, but if you’re not going to sub him earlier he needs to close out the match.
He wasn't big enough. A bunch of times he got outmuscled over the ruck. He's good for a pilfer, but we need more for a Wallabies 7. Until Charlie Gamble is eligible, I think Hooper should start every game.Thoughts on how McReight went?
It’s not impossible at all, just unlikely. I remember when he got appointed that there was no assurance he would take us through to the 23 RWC - does anyone know his T&Cs?With less than a year for WC is impossible. But Rugby Australia should sign Scott Robertson for 2024 ASAP
Rennie is a kiwi who was appointed by a kiwi. He is passionate about coaching but he couldn’t really give a fuck whether he is coaching us or American Samoa.
Whoever is coaching us HAS to be passionate about Australian rugby. First box to be ticked, create the shortlist from that.

He was working with our third best No 9 in a backline that excludes any attacking team work but relies on individuals for territory gain and scoring tries. Overall, he was not really a step down from Foley imo.

Wales, Fiji, Georgia, and one of USA or Portugal. I think we'll get out of the pool.
