Training the Wallabies in forward play

31 Oct 2011

Like many on The Roar I have been frustrated by poor forward play by the Wallabies that was on show at the World Cup and has been there since Rod McQueen’s time over 10 years ago.

DD - I thought Barnes had a great game and again ref's one of the top matches in NH. See my comments below re game but I think you need a shake up, the game is changing fast and Ireland isn't. They have the talent but not the game plan or the skills training. The Welsh backline were not only big but fast as well. Wales should do well in the Six nations. I believe that these 2 nations are the best in NH at the moment at least to watch and this would have been a great game to be at. The French will be interesting to watch, as always, but especially to see if they can pick up from their woeful last couple of years (WC final ommited).

Welsh win thriller against Ireland 23-21

Great game of two strategies. The Welsh were going to run the ball and kick if they had to. The Irish were going to kick everything and run if they had to. The breakdown was another two strategies. The Welsh attacked the BD as if their lives depended on it and the Irish avoided the contact and stood in the D. After the second half Ireland started to commit forwards to the breakdown and kicked less and the game fired up. Ireland has great players in Sexton (if you can stop him kicking good possesion away), The full back ANO, Tommy Bowes, O'Connor still a force but O'Driscoll seems to be fading into a golden retirement. The Welsh had talent all over apart from 5/8. George North is truly great and would fit into any team around the world including the AB's. So what will it be more don't commit and kick or commit and run. What's your poison Roarer's?????

Waugh was a great player in what he achieved with a body that was too small and too slow for modern rugby. He is an inspiration to all those who aspire to greatness. To suggest that NSW would have won a super title with McKenzie in charge could only be stated from inside a mental asylum. Anyone who knows anything about rugby and there are plenty on this site would tell you the pedestrian, retain the ball at all costs, never take a chance statistical rugby that Ewan had them playing, was straight out of the Eddie the eye cookbook. Ewan is a better coach for his time in France where there was plenty of what he wanted (forwards) but not much backline flare - so I think he had to develop it, for the first time and that is the difference in him. I think he now appreciates the finer points of the game as opposed to statistical strategy.

Can the ‘Tahs win the battle after losing the Waugh?
