I cant stand Tom not very Decent he is the the new mould of just camplain & blame but if you get that story & its correct you have to go with it before someone else does

And yes, shitty. Never going to stop this result tho. We've allowed our development systems to stay in the amateur era, and now reap what we sow.

Happy for anyone to live here, even the indigenous traveled to Aus be it 50,000 plus years ago. The thing I can’t work out with kiwis is why? They all go on about how good their utopia is.

his missteps?
Picking unproven green talent - coz that formula has always worked in every world cup.
Picking the youngest ever world cup team
Unable to answer journalists when simple questions are put to him. That airport trainwreck was a disgrace.
unable to explain why he didnt pick Hooper, Foley for example.
As head of the Women's Rugby program - can someone enlighten me as to what he's done?

That's literally his job, to break stories. He's not paid by his employer to do the right thing for Australian Rugby

Ok. I needed to let this one sit for a bit. I'm not sure that I have anything to add except well done Wales. As for the Wallabies, that was beyond disappointing and a really hard watch. I'm really not sure that the sum of our parts were as good as they could have been so for that Eddie does hold the responsibility.
That said, I'm not sure that we would have gotten this same result under Rennie & co. I don't think you can say that this is a true rebuild because this isn't like France full of players who had been winning the junior worldcups. This is a hodgepodge of players who are all at very different places with their understanding of the game. You can see the heart, but it's like listenning to a kids choir where they're all trying their best but half are off key and the other half are out of sync.
I agree that the trendline is becoming rather telling. There are some systemic issues and alignment that need to be looked at.

So, Eddie.... 1 from what is it, 8? Let's make it 9 since the Aussie dad's called it in your own tv ad.

You know, I just can't stomach watching this. I lasted 3s and decided better. Hey, Eddie, whatever.
