Contrary to belief, Kiwis don’t like watching Wallabies losing games other than against their own All Blacks.
If two drinkers, a Kiwi and an Aussie are in a bar, within three minutes the jibes, insults and slanging between them starts.
Let any other joker join in and suddenly they are blood brothers against him.
So as a Kiwi who really does like Aussies, I offer 15 starters to get the Wallabies on track again.
1. Quade,…. just say sorry for Christ sake!
2. To the mindless, idiot, booing, boring Kiwi supporter. Stop booing Quade and get over it. We have!
3. Will,….. start showing everyone that you’re the world’s No. 1 halfback…..again! Step forward, not back.
4. Israel…. Take a leaf from Ben Smith’s book..tries need to be in twos or threes. Accept nothing less.
5. Jess….you have great potential…if only you would learn to run instead of kicking.
6. James H….. As captain, kick arse harder, demand more, Lead from the rear. That way you can see who’s in front of you…. trying harder!
7. Rob… shame James H into thinking that you do more work than him, and then show it.
8. James, Stephen, Ben…… More grunt, then some! Use brawn and brain.
9. Scotty, Hoops and Ben….. Continue to be a bigger pest to opposition than what you all are currently.
10. James OC… ask how many tries they have scored.
11. Christian….. ask the rest as to what they are doing to help you get points!
12. Mac,… stop whinging about referee’s, players and opposition and concentrate instead with creating winning game plans.
13. The AB’s simply play winning rugby but are no better than you. They simply do it better! Accept it and learn from them by doing what they do. Don’t reinvent the wheel.
14. Get the ARU to get more players playing younger and staying to grow into Wallabies otherwise, do whatever it takes to steal more top players from the NRL…..Sonny Bill and Benji saw the light…. and how the eyes lit up in the All Black management.
15. Lift the head and be told, “The only reason you ever go on to a rugby field is not to see if you can win, it’s to see by how much!”
Winners back winners. Set your mind and believe in being one.
