This is a great point. How we are travelling against the Kiwis is a good barometer in my view.
How long do people think it will be before the Wallabies can win the Bledisloe back after this rebuild?
Are we thinking in the next 2-4 years or will it be longer?
It's a great point. I for a long time have been saying the state of Australian rugby has been hurting NZ - but this world cup is suggesting to me it has had no effect. I actually wonder if the relentless beating of Aussie teams in the super rugby in concert with the 20 year title defence of the...
Fascinating watching some of the excellent post match analysis from on this match.
In my view the "review" for Ireland will be just as important as the Wallaby one. 8 quarter finals in a row, come in as the number 1 team having beaten NZ in a series in NZ, etc etc . What went wrong? A lot...
"Wallabies urged to ‘throw money at Nathan Cleary immediately’ for World Cup"

Could this be the new approach?
Here's a hypothetical - Could...
Do people think it is worth even trying to get back to being a Tier 1 rugby nation again? Is it even achievable?
Would the effort better be spent trying to preserve the game and playing tier 2 teams with which we can actually compete?
Keen to hear what people think..
The Steve Anderson article is good.
In my view a HUGE part of the problem has been the relentless "focus on the positives" attitude that has pervaded Aussie rugby for 2 decades. The current mess is the first time in 2 decades I have NOT seen anyone suggesting we "focus on the positives". But...
So after reading many, many comments from fans (on many sites) it seems many people are happy to lose to the AB's - provided it is not by too much (like Bledisloe 1).
Do posters here think this helps or hinders us in progressing forward?
Be interested in thoughts! (particularly in the...
good points - but I don't think rugby was the 4th or 5th sport in Oz during the glory years...IMO we have slipped dramatically over the last 10-15 years and it is reflected in our results...
Let's get realistic. How are we going to win the Bledisloe back when rugby is the number 4 or 5 sport in Oz?
The AB's are simply amazing - and I don't think rugby is their 4th or 5th sport...
To be fair to Robbie though, when did he have true excellence in kicking (penalty and field goal) in his Wallaby team (of the caliber of a Mehrtens or Carter)?
