Can we get back to Rugby rather than geopolitics?

How are the bookies putting Aus as favourites?

The only reason people here in Sth East NSW are talking to me about rugby is that they know I follow it at work. And even then it's a short discussion as they're all on wanting to support a NZ team over a QLD team in the NRL! And of course, they're quite happy sticking the boot in over Aus loss...

Í can't recall how many Sth African fans were calling for the sacking of team/coach when they lost to Japan in 2025? I agree it's good for Rugby, just hurts.

I dunno if he has lost them yet. I think a win will help definitely.

The Rugby Report Card guys just got mentioned on Between The Posts by Morgs. Good wrap for the GAGR Podcast stable :)

As a Kiwi surely watching a team playing worse than the ABs will a balm for the soul

You're not wrong - when we had ball in hand, they were all over the ruck, turning it over either by pushing through, or given a holding on penalty. (I make no comment on how quick the holding on penalties were given as they were pretty even for both sides, or alleged lying on the wrong side of...

That would definitely mess with our Kiwi brethren

The RWC brings all sorts of "supporters" out from the wood work - and a loss even more so

As long as it's wrecked enough to dump them out of the quarters I'm happy

Yeah, I want to give him benefit of the doubt, but I reckon if he really wanted he could have brought in some of the Aussie Super Rugby coaches as assistants for the RWC. Might have disrupted some pre-season stuff for the franchises but there's some upside there I reckon.

I think Eddie's worst picks have been in the coaching ranks - there's been way too much turnover with the assistants, and having two ex-leaguies isn't helping - we need Rugby not NRL coaches.

As an accountant I think I'm qualified to use one of those

You still realise that Beale is in the middle of court action - he's but going anywhere. And if you don't that's why you must realise we're still laughing at you

I do think however, the penalties we gave away in attack (about half) were because Brace was very quick with his holding on calls, and we had no one supporting either.

It has been said on numerous occasions in these forii that he has definitely declined to have anything to do with the Wallabies - and this is from interviews with him not just people on GAGR making stuff up

Yeah, the first two scrums their prop put his knee down, and it was either reset or penalty Fiji

True, but surely we're above that lol. Maybe not though

Please no - let's not go all Rassie
