I posted overnight about an issue in this press conference in the thread, "Scrum Talk".

I honestly think that the Japanese made a big mistake appointing Eddie as their coach.

"It's not funny". LMAO at the Japanese captains facial expressions.

Good entertainment but that's nothing compared to a real Eddie blow up.
Ask some of his former Wallabies what Eddie going off was like.

He was a vocal critic of Tony Rea last year after his spray.
IIRC he basically said it is the last card in the pack, if the players don't take in on board then the coach must walk.
But yet, i don't think our Eddie intends to walk away.

Did he pick that team? I would not want to be a player in the Japanese team at training his week. He seems to have moved into the realm of a paranoid tyrant based on a few of things he said in the interview.

The time you worry about Eddie the most, is the moment you see him smile.
This is immediately followed by the 'stink-eye' and the 'unleashing of hell'

Hate to rehash an extremely old thread, but says I don't have privileges to create a new thread, so I tried to find a titled thread most relevant to what I'm searching for...
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone out there knows/has any resources from the Eddie Jones era of the Brumbies/Wallabies on their attack. Set moves, support/phase play, etc. Not finding much on the net. Any help is appreciated!

I didn't think that fast Eddie believed in the set piece or support play. It could explain why there isn't much info on it..
Sorry Martin, I couldn't help myself!

Sorry mate - can't help. Although I am curious as to why you are looking at such a specific era.

Perhaps support play wasn't the right wording, maybe phase play is mor appropriate. I'm just fascinated by how those teams played, the speed and structure. I've read somewhere that he broke the field down into zones like a checkerboard. It's just interesting. I watch Japan play and see some similar characteristics although it definitely looks more "heads up" in open play. Japan play a "if this, then do that" brand so they can easily play off 9 or 10, and spin it wide fast.

Some highlights of backline play from 02-05 here

I know these are just highlights (and from a bygone era, too) but the back line just looks so much more structured in this clips than I can remember seeing at any level of consistency for a while.
Everyone just seems to know where they need to be and how to time their run. When the attack is flat, everyone is flat and providing options - when they go from deep the runners are timing it very well so that the receivers are actually hitting the ball at pace..simple stuff but so obviously potent when it's happening.
The movement at 2:10 was pretty neat too, loose handling by the outside backs aside.

Timing and space -- they exploit space expertly in those clips. I wonder if one of the reasons you don't see back line play like that as much these days is because defenses have improved.
