You’d be praying for some of that early 2000s “quality” to be taking the field against Wales tomorrow morning … Deans had some of the GOATs of Australian rugby under him .. I don't buy that “ system” excuse either.That “system” at that stage of Aus rugby, had produced 2 WC winning sides and...

I’d like to hear your ideas on clubs in more detail … who, where etc also it’s going to be hard to get rid of the the super rugby sides as traditionally the tahs and reds predate the competition.. They are in fact the rep sides for all clubs in the state, in trenched in Australian rugby

I thought Chile were terrible, looked unfit and their front row was horrible .. The only reason England didn’t score over 100 was because for the first 20 minutes every player got white line fever and tried to score individual tries 30meters outs … when they stopped playing like a Fiji 7s side...

Just remember the only reason your precious Robbie deans coached the wallabies in the first place was because he was couldn’t get the top job in NZ…

I hear Cheika coaching in the nrl is more on the cards

The day the All Blacks get a Australian head coach you can proceed to groan

Probably money, lifestyle .. fame/notoriety for turning a once proud rugby nations fortunes around

Let’s be honest Robbie deans was coaching world XVs at the crusaders … all star sides … he’s done nothing since it’s the equivalent of being the “coach” of lebron James or Tom Brady

No more kiwi/ all blacks as coaches … (yes I know he was a kangaroo)

There’s a recent video where he said he’s interested in playing for the wallabies

Yes -good for corporate sponsors - not that far by plane - awesome culture - safe country to travel to (players/fans alike)

There is definitely something to say for match fitness > gym fitness

We have ignored PI growth for two reasons 1) It was the belief corporate sponsors wouldn’t touch them and 2) Aus and NZ wanted to keep the PI talent for themselves If the PI nations and super rugby clubs keep having success we will be forced to take notice .. And you’re right a Fiji Test does...

Yes, but the blame is with Rugby Australia for not growing the club game … You Can’t blame GPS rugby for being successful

Id try and get most clubs involved … eg randwick easts juniors could aligned to UNSW at a 1st grade .. This is only a start, if it became successful you’d have room for expansion- eg Western Sydney Uni drawing from parramatta/Penrith /blue mountains juniors …. Southern districts to feed...

Another option for a 3rd tier ) would be to take a leaf out the US and have a national college / Uni system … this could be the uni itself ( eg Sydney Uni)… or a joint venture between club and college ( eg kind of like Randwick does with UNSW) …. this would be a easier way of making a...

You’d want that experience in the starting line up considering how crucial the game is

It’s Carters fault too… if You say Donaldson was picked for “not putting a foot wrong”, logically Carter was dropped for performing poorly.

Agree 100%… The ARU should be thanking its lucky stars the GPS exists … otherwise rugby in this country WOULD be dead.

That will hurt the warriors more than ABs
