Wallabies coaches making a difference

[Rebel rouser]

Just felt compelled to comment that Cheika and Larkham are providing an excellent example of what we always knew... Coaching makes a difference. They seem to be dragging the best of their players from 1-15. Suddenly, maybe, just maybe, we're in with a shot at this world cup.

Seeing Cheiks and Bernie sing the anthem with the team was great on Sat was also a great moment. Having Larkham back in Wallaby colours just about brought a tear to my eye!

I also admit I know nothing about scrummaging. But Ledesma does seem to have had an influence.

Go you good things!!

Ledesma is a genius by my calculations.

Nathan Grey also sang the anthem. And ledesma was there too.

The one thing that got me was our accuracy at the ruck.

I am pretty sure we were not turned over once. We didn't get pinged for holding, the ABs never mounted a successful counter-ruck. The first man to the ruck always came in low and hard, and cleaned out well.

It would go un-noticed by many, but that was the foundation upon which the victory was built. And that all comes back to good coaching.

This is another reason I rate Poock, when people talk open side flankers the focus seems to be on the number of turnovers he secures, but for me, what is equally important is the number of turnovers he prevents trough speed to the ruck and physicality at the breakdown. I'd love to see the stats for the number of racks that he hit and whether he was early or late.

My biggest take away from Sat was Nic White. He should have had his cards stamped years ago, never been able to handle big matches. But now he had a cameo like that on one of the biggest stages. You have to think that the current environment and coaches played a role in that.

Maybe White's an expert finisher, not a starter? Give him too much time on the paddock and he'll start thinking about box-kicks.

Like Nick Phipps And Genia.. Who Have put some shit ones in... White's biggest issue is he loses his shit and starts worrying about chat and not the game.
