Ireland v Wallabies, Saturday 15/11 (Sunday morning Aus time)

[wamberal99]

this game will be won by the team that wants it most.

Or wins all the lineouts.

 

[lpd]

Need the season to be over I think - some soul searching required from the coaching staff

 

[Wilson]

Next time he just stands there and gets hit.

And if a dummy runner takes him out the penalty will go the other way. You can not hit a man in the head, it's really that simple. Had he not hit him high he wouldn't have had anything to answer for.

 

[Major Tom]

Was there a knock on in the lead up around JAS?

 

[HogansHeros]

Thats a tough scoreline. So many basic errors killed us

 

[John S]

That was a drubbing. Definitely lost it in the second half

 

[HooperPocockSmith]

Our defensive system is terrible

 

[rugbyAU]

Fuck sake, sick of our players and coaches lying every week and saying they'll empty the tank and be better next week

That was our biggest ever loss against Ireland and nearly double the next biggest margin (some people claiming they're on the slide), another unwanted record for Schmidt

This is going to be our second worst year in history and maybe the first time we've lost ten games in a year

Contrary to claims that we've improved, I've never seen such a big and sustained drop off in form since Townsville, that's nine games in a row that we have regressed

they need to be fired, Schmidt has been the worst Wallabies coach of all time by losing %

Fkn embarrassing
For those of you who think we are on the up wtf?
the wins v lions and boks are completely lost
The coach and players have tapped out
Big loses to Ireland and England! Lost to Italy
Should we be booking games against Romania and Georgia next year?
There is no up atm
The backs literally lack the skillet and execution from 9 to 15

 

[Oracle83]

You're assuming this ref would do anything about it.

So far at scrum since I got out of bed we've pumped them twice and been penalised

He was doing us a favour as he knew we would give it back to them regardless

Totally agree mate now looking at the Eddie jones era and how Joe Schmidt compares
Joe has tapped out and the team doesn’t know what’s going on
We are back to a tier 2 nation
How far we have fallen from the start of the year

 

[Wilson]

Very disappointing impact from the bench there, not sure any of them injected anything into the game in the end, maybe Pollard but he was far from perfect.

agree 100%

Claims we are on the up are utter bullshit, instead this is our second worst year ever

 

[Pfitzy]

Thats a tough scoreline. So many basic errors killed us

4 fluffed lineouts

Scrum didn't get any reward.

High ball just... utterly lacking any ability there. For a nation of Aussie rules players we aren't getting it.

At the end guys didn't even look like making tackles

 

[Major Tom]

Ireland always in control but we shot ourselves in the foot with a truly shocking lineout tonight.
JOC (James O'Connor) puts the ball right on their 5m line and we turn over the ball with the lineout. Thats the difference there.
And for the life of us we cannot win the ball in the air.
In both the backs and the fwds we’re just handing the ball back over and over.

 

[lpd]

Joe had a game plan at the start of the year, and after the attrition that happens in a standard year he hasn’t had any answers for how he the team is going to win games.

also, how about we get a bunch of English and saffa fly halves as project players and hope when they qualify in residency they are ready for international rugby. We aren’t going to make any good ones ourselves

6 fluffed lineouts

 

[rugbyAU]

Schmidt is now the worst Wallaby coach of all time - 60% losing rate, Rennie was 53%

What's the excuse this week - tiredness?
