A bit of Dismal Pillock humour going on there ndy.

Having been on the EOYT, Edmed won't be expected to join training until the new year. He then has something like 5 or 6 weeks to regain fitness and learn the structures. Surely Meredith will start the first couple/few games at 10?

I thought Anderson looked very good at 15 against Hong Kong. Inserted into the backline attack very effectively and importantly chased every high kick and put the receivers under pressure.

RugbyAU, that is telling it exactly as it is.

It's not 2 months Tom. Les or Joe, whoever is in the job at the time, will be expected to put his first squad of the year together very early in the Super Rugby season, maybe even in pre-season and to follow it up with developments as the season progresses Given Joe's somewhat erratic approach to...

If Les really wanted to see out his commitment to the Reds as you say Wilson, then he shouldn't have applied for the Wallabies job at the time it was expected Joe was about to finish his tenure. Should have waited for his opportunity post WC27. Think what you're suggesting is bordering on false...

Wilson, the QRU also played a big part in the decision by reportedly wanting a large sum in compensation for an early release. That wouldn't seem to be such a large impost for RA now with just 6 - 8 months to run and the coffers nicely topped up after the Lions visit. I don't see a need for LK...

Would there not be some benefit from having all the Wallaby training squads next year selected and managed by Kiss rather than Joe?

Maybe McKellar in for Laurie?

Made too many errors in his short time on the ground but McReight had a shocker today. Faessler's lineout work poor, Potter poor, Wilson again ineffective taking on the line. Most others had best games for some time.

Notable that the Wallabies are playing a different game plan. Throwing it wide in attack, keeping box kicks to a minimum though still not winning possession, and importantly rushing up in defence. Has Kiss taken over?

The selection merry-go-round continues. After 13 changes from Japan to England, 11 changes from England to Italy, 12 changes from Italy to Ireland, we now have another massive 14 changes from Ireland to France. Joe clearly doesn't have any idea about what his best XXIII is, and those huge...

Yes. And Al has certainly given his all, and continues to do so, to sport in general and to rugby. Currently involved in redesigning parts of the AIS here in Canberra and has been involved in other relevant projects such as the new stadium in Christchurch.

Looked to me that he was running in support, and behind, Roebuck and in that case his running line was perfectly ok. Arms out might have looked like obstruction (and might have been) but equally was just celebration of the try. No issue at all with the try in my book.

To keep the record complete, go at it. 3 Hooper 2 Ikitau 1 Ala'alatoa Yeah three Brumbies but they were the best of a poor lot.
