TBF, pissed myself laughing at it, it was a good emotional relief after this morning

Certainly. Cheika has clearly lost the dressing room - no one is responding to the rev up's anymore and he's tactically useless. Our defence is eye wateringly shit, our attack is about as up to date and progressive as Hillary Clinton's election campaign, and our forwards coach has the glorious...

I'll take a more boring style where we play in their half, dominate the set piece, pay smart, have a visible gameplan and actually WIN, over getting routinely skullfucked by NZ, and having a 1-7 record against England, 5-1 against Ireland and such glorious displays of running rugby as the time...

What is Valetini’s knee made from? Fuck sake

I am resigned to it, but by the end of this year when the only game we win from here on in is against Italy, the drums of war will be beating loud outside RA HQ, or there will be a deathly silence, which is even worse.

With a decent attack coach, yes, 100%. Why not? Because the Brumbies were 'boring' (actually scored more tries than the Tahs under Cheika while White was in charge) when he coached them? I'll take a more structured 'boring' gameplan if it means we win and we actually look like a team that...

It's Growden again, but I can't argue with much of this. I'm not normally a 'sack the coach' bloke, but im finally done after the weekend. Rugby will be killed if this keeps going. We're ranked the worst in our history, and if you take out the wins (that are just assumed, you cant claim these as...

They're friends who knwo what they're talking about with rugby and are well connected. Of course it's FB, but the point is that how Cheika is described sounds pretty accurate int erms of what we're seeing. I know we're stuck with him till the WC, but I don't reckon we'll get past the quarters...

RE the Cheika debate..... Nothing will improve IMO, he's an emotion based coach. A coach who comes in, introduces a few new things and fires everyone up so much that they work for the first couple of years. After that, everything is stale, people get desensitised to the rev ups, and here we...

On that note, I feel this is the time for Growden's article. he's a dick, and made a fool of himself early in the article suggesting he should sacked right now (way too late, we're stuck with them all), but he's pretty on the money here IMO: Some very salient points in there. An example...

Mate, they're the Liebstandarte of NZ.

What's going on up there? o_O

That's what we've all been saying since we realised in 2012 that the promise of 2009/2010 had reached it's ceiling and he wasn't ever going to get better than that. Arnold, Rodda, Coleman - done. Those are our three locks, and unless one of them gets injured Simmons needs to go out to...

See, you say that he dropped the ball, but it almost sounds like he was giving it a good crack

Probably would have gone for the extra back this week tbh, it only takes one injury early and we're in shit.

Communist BDSM.

A yellow first, then a red. The second was red regardless of his earlier yellow, he might get a few weeks.

Mayhew gives away a stupid free kick when we had possession and on attack, puts us under pressure then Valetini goes down and we let in a try with 12 men in the game. Then another soft try - everyone is knackered now. Not fit enough. I thought Muirhead was excellent tonight, and...

Watchign it now. OK, 70 mins in, we're only down by 4. Played really, really well in the last 10mins with 13 men, only conceded the one try straight after the YC to Carter, the dumb fuck. Lealiifano and TK just went off, Valetini still ok, we're well in this and should be able to step up once...
