watched the game again last night, and obviously i draw comparison to Joe time with Ireland, much of the 15-19 irish game plan was evident, one of his criticism in Ireland was far too much was through sexton, to the point that in 19 he didn't look like he would make 23, but rejuvenated under...

agree. Schidmt gameplan starting to be very evident. it’s going to make the wallabies at very solid team which given the last few years it’s fantastic 10 is a major major issue particularly with his gameplan.

Yes very much agreed but ultimately it needed Farrell to evolve it , bring nuanace like a earlier poster highlighted is missing . This isn’t à criticism schidmt brought irrland from no where to a world no 1 ranking in 2018, and if he did the same with australia now we’d all be happy even if...

Yes, but in and out of australia for 30yrs so big Wallaby fan , Joe was successful with ireland undoubtedly, the 19 rwc 1/4 they were missing 6 key players, nz 19 they were found out by then but other than them he got us to no 1 the issue ultimately and why they ran out of road was the ultra...

Joe Schmidt gameplan and Aussie rugby DNA are incompatible, or at best it’s going to be a long hard road had 6 yrs of joe ball, it can be successful but it’s a tough watch

Agree to a point Yes the wallabies gameplay used to have not enough kicking at test level it used to drive me insane But you need a bit more than to Your game unless you have the boks size Look at how andy Farrell evolded ireland beyond joe who don’t have the boks size joe style May we’ll...

Well traditionally the wallabies are known for open running rugby , it’s what the public want. Appreciate now they want to get some wins first and foremost but if you cast your mind back to when irrland were in australia in 2018 for the series plenty on this forum were critical of the Irish...

Irish here so familiar with Joe schidmt style , it’ll be interesting to see how joes structured attritional game plan works with australia give that style of rugby isn’t the wallaby dna .

A Distant 4th , with historical issues Meaning that a lot of people who play Gaelic sports don’t play rugby and same with soccer Also The competing codes are not as transferable skills wise as union and league are here

Don’t agree rugby is a distant 4th in ireland, also a private school game Financially the country is no where near here to invest in facilities etc, The systems are broken Nucifora was Part of fixing it in ireland ARU need him back ASAP

They never once say it how it is cos they have the rights , compare against bbc rte Bskyb and it’s chslk and cheese They may as well be a bunch of fans or paid promotional girls on that panel

Correct I’m Irish , the style we play is awful to watch by and large, but no one cares once it’s winning rugby The wallabies due to being 4th code fox sports hype etc etc are under pressure not just to win but to entertain Hooper even reference it in last week post game interview

Ya I love the stuff he can do as well, it’s a pity that seeing as a 10 who also kicks he is so flaky with his core duties I think 60 odd caps is a huge haul for 10 who is so flaky and poor with game management That said when he’s on , it’s sinply great to watch

Was at Souths and gps, Quade Cooper was simply awful . On that performance Brad thorn is 100% right

True but they are the exception . Heaps of reasons why , we the rest the chasing pack need to make sure everything feeds into our nationals teams , and super rugby as it is is hindering the wallabies Maybe that's a one off game and I'm over reacting My opinion only

Yes they have improved some what , but the longer term trend Fox sports have to hype everything, can't say anything critical That game just shows what a joke the super Comp has become It used be the worldwide benchmark There is no where near enough must win games , test rugby is must win and...

You know what I mean And your smart enough to see the trend Your telling me that abolsute waste of time rubbish is a proving ground for wallabies The Comp is a farce, it's dud. It's no longer fit for purpose And if something isn't done the wallabies decline will continue

Absolute joke shop of a Comp super rugby now is It's killing The wallabies 10yrs time , the wallabies won't be able compete with European team if this isnt changed

Good point , australia float between 2nd and 5/6th in the world , it's not all doom and gloom Rugby in ireland is Similar in that it's the 4th code and a niche sport well maybe a bit more popular in the last 5 years but historically always a niche sport David Nucifora is credited with building...

Apologies I didn't get the sarcasm but the gist of my point is that the decline in super rugby is linked or the decline in the wallabies fortunes , likewise the improvement in champions cup is linked to ireland improvement I'm a huge fan of Australian rugby drawn in by the 84 and 91 teams and...
