Totally agree

Wallabies' young gun mulling NRL switch as Rebels' future continues to cloud picture

Awesome news, hard to believe he wasn’t wanted last year

Exclusive: Schmidt set to bring 'Lord' back to the Wallabies as first key appointment

Don”t agree Christy , there was enough evidence last year we were improving. Eddie completely stuffed the continuation this year.

Wallabies are where the All Blacks were in 2007 - it's time to look in the mirror or risk more embarrassment

When the squad was picked, it was quite evident goal kicking would be an issue

Noah had a great game in Adelaide last year when they beat the Springboks.

Played well at 10 in win over SA in Adelaide last year also( probably his best game in gold)

Wallabies lose another two young guns to World Cup injuries - but Eddie won't call up anyone yet

Good call on Isaac, we need some quality 10’s in Aus rugby.

Thanks for the link, that is a good read.

The Wrap: Wallabies scrape a win but the team, and the code, have entered Chinese water torture territory

Your talking too much commonsense. It is a shame they don’t use the money they have more wisely.

Besieged Wallabies throw lucrative deal at Crichton in bid to lure Roosters star back to rugby - with a Super twist

Not surprised, I thought he would do this for goal kicking

Thankyou Spiro, great to read another insightful article of yours. Some teams do seem to be better suited to tournaments.

SPIRO ZAVOS: The best team in the tournament, not necessarily the best team, will win the 2023 RWC

Brett Papworth was a pretty handy player as a choice from 87, totally agree with Tim Horan 80%, Elton Flatley % seems low to me

His defensive reads could be better

'Results haven’t been good': Wallabies head into World Cup winless after being humbled by France

No way I can agree on McDermott ‘s rating and Kellaway too low.

Wallabies player ratings: Taniela explosive, Marky Mark dynamite - but lineout and midfield fail to ignite

Great to see Ryan Lonergan and Pete Samu get a run.

'It's still a gold jersey': Swinton out to impress as key to Aus A success against Wallabies RWC pool rivals revealed

That is a positive move. How much he can add in a couple of weeks will be interesting ?

Goal kicking is my biggest concern with these selections.I have watched so many games over the years where we have scored more tries than the opposition and lost due to superior goal kicking from players like Grant Fox,Andrew Mehrtens etc. There are so many points to be accrued through penalty kicks ,particularly tight games and high pressure games such as quarters, semis etc. I hope Carter has it because it maybe the difference.

Thanks for the article Brett, they are good questions to ask.

Wallabies fans appear comfortable with 0 and 4 – but some obvious questions remain

Agree, he has real impact of the bench.

'Some people would die to be a Wallaby': Bell backs bullish Eddie ahead of Bledisloe, reflects on dumped mates

Agree Brett, it is as if Eddie is only looking at one side if the coin (attack) it isn’t sustainable to keep having those high tackle counts.

The two-week observation: The Wallabies can play low possession rugby OR find the Australian way – but not both

Eddie is so funny, when he said in the presser, “if I was the All Blacks, I’d look out”, I nearly fell off my chair laughing when I heard that.

'Gutted': Cheika's Pumas steal dramatic win to confirm Eddie's worst Wallabies fears

Don’t think the All Blacks need to “look out”, I just hope we can be competitive, we really struggle against tier 1 nations now.Just as well I love rugby and will keep watching.

'Look out': Eddie puts All Blacks on notice despite 'broken car' Wallabies' loss to Argentina

I admire your confidence Flem, but I think we are kidding ourselves if we think Australian batsman like batting on green wickets. It has been quite a while since we won a series in England and I think a big part of it is our inability to bat on these wickets .

Flem’s Verdict: Lord’s green wicket won’t worry Aussies but it could be a problem for England’s Bazball batters

My feeling about “the voice”, gender and race issues is they are causing more division ,not unifying us. I hope one day we can all get on the same page and create a great future.

Rugby News: Ex-PM says RA has succumbed to 'moral blackmail' after 'regrettable' Voice stance revealed

Just watched replay of Australia’s dismissals, they certainly have some work to do in regards to playing spin, playing on the crease with lbws and some playing too far away from their bodies. I hope they can turn it around and be competitive.
