    I am not sure. Michael Hooper most likely even though he was not there. Certainly the blame does not fall at the players feet. It was EJs crazy party. Up until the year or so prior to the RWC Will Skelton was reluctant to play for the Wallabies and I am still not sure if his prominent provincial...

    A dismal RWC campaign. Let’s face it, he was a wild outside pick for captain and had not yet earned his stripes. Nothing has changed to enhance his selection since then.

    I disagree. He was good in patches but he also failed miserably in the captaincy stakes. He should never have been put in that position, but still, he has been a reluctant Wallaby from very early on. Lets see what Schmidt does, but I would not be surprised if he goes for a new look in the second...

    I would say that it would be good to leave Skelton and Arnold out of it for this year. We have some good young locks coming through and also LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) back on deck. Let’s pick from those blokes and see how they go against Wales. Props more or less pick themselves with everyone fit. We have a few...

    Australian Rugby / RA

    He needs to go if RA is going to actually turn things around. He needs to take responsibility for what has happened on his watch

    Haha….Its the Australian way. Same with the political parties devouring leaders from within.

    Did you watch the Baa Baas game? Keep Donaldson away from them next year please. His first instinct was to kick…….in a Baa Baas game.

    The Italian fiasco seems like not a bad place to be right now. I’d be looking at moving Lenny to 12 over time and have Flook or someone else come through for 13.

    I reckon it is for a decent coach with a good plan. They just need to get back to where they were a year ago to reflect massive progress initially. I would go McKellar and Friend to start.

    Should we ask Rennie back? Absolutely not. He may not have been as bad as some thought but he wasn’t great and if they did court him again it would really illustrate how incompetent RA is. Coaching the Wallabies is still a very good opportunity for the right people.

    We have already played that game in the last 9 months or so. Out of the fire back into a pot would work for now.

    I think he needs to do a lot at the Force next year to even be under consideration for a test squad spot. Not his fault but he is still a way off this level.

    Wallabies 2024

    There is no need for it and it is bad for the image of the game. It would not matter so much if he backed it up with results but he has not. He has promised the Bled and the RWC this year, both extremely unrealistic goals and he gets into public stoushers with the NRL whenever he can. There is...

    Wallabies 2024

    It is of course way too early for him but who knows with another Super Rugby season under his belt. What he has shown is a cultured boot and good vision with an ability to send the play the correct way. At this early stage no other 10 has shown that for quite some time. Time will tell but he certainly...
