Rugby, cricket and racing tragic. Why do they even have other sports? “You’re missing a great game ref !”

And I reckon Larkham has Jack Debreczeni ahead of him for the Brums ! Keep working Noah, there is a wee way to go get!
'Pissed off': Why Eddie snubbed Noah and the five-month stint in France that's changed his outlook
Commendable. That is loyalty right there. When it all goes to shite and everyone else has the daggers out. You see the true colours when it gets ugly. Hooper’s response to not getting picked showed his. As did Cooper’s.

Chris Webb. First class human. Fine servant of rugby. Who makes that call? RA or Eddie? I would have thought he gets to choose his manager. So are they forcing EJ’s hand? The WBs were simply unprepared. No amount of psychology will make up for that?
Eddie's Wallabies future on tenterhooks amid coaching changes, key ally departs as Waugh returns home
Well, I was dead against Rennie’s sacking and leaving Hooper, Samu, Cooper, Ikitau and Wright at home, But, that said, I think the lack of depth in other positions such as tight head prop (no AAA, no TT) and tight head lock (Skelton), the lack of form at halfback….made the semis a bridge too far.
Eddie Jones says he needs to 'give myself an uppercut' but '100 percent' committed to coaching Wallabies
Did he get the selections wrong? You bet!
Would we have made it past the quarters with the old blokes? No
Did he have the right coaches around him? No
Would they have made it past the quarters with the best coaches on the planet? No
He could have played it safe, as I thought he should have, but we would be no better off.

Christy and his Journo mates are still sooking. Let’s just say Eddie did fear for his job and figured he needed a plan B? While he denies it, I see it as perfectly understandable. So even if he had a chat with Japan about a possible role then Woopy do!
Eddie digs in as he flies home - AGAIN denying he wants to quit to coach Japan, while revealing next step
It’s in World Rugb, not the Boks, for sure. 8 reserves. That’s where it starts and stops. No fatigue. The end.

On the flip side, Fiji are prepared and it was no surprise nor fluke as they are simply the better team. Good to see them doing so well. Grumpy Growden was a fine Journo, but never laced a boot in anger did he? People, there are young men who are fulfilling their dream of playing for the Wallabies and they deserve our respect and support. Imagine finally realising your dream and having to read all this negativity? Ask Johnny Wilkinson about his debut against Australia ….

Here it is. Thanks for your input. After much deliberation, the decision is to keep it in the clubs…..the Super Rugby Clubs that it is. Simply, the Wallabies in each team are replaced by the hopefuls ie the wider, contracted, squad members that we haven’t seen and the best of the amateurs from club land. The good ones will pick up a contract. The end
Why RA CEO is leaning into 'beating heart' of club rugby in third tier plan as crunch talks loom
Once it evolved into City and Country for nsw and qld it started to have some connection for fans but it was about the beat players playing not the players of either origin. Getting the best players playing is the key amd that won’t happen if it is based on the clubs.

Spot on. The super rugby teams are clubs! They have the exisiting tribalism, management, coaches etc you can bring in the emerging players to play with those not in wallabies duties, coached by the emerging coaches, physios etc Simple.

Back the truck up. This notion that a winning culture is enough to turn the fortunes of the Wallabies around is rubbish. Hooper, Cooper, Ikitau, Wright, Holloway are not from a “horrible” generation of Wallabies.
They should be remembered as fine men and players, who could have made a lot more money overseas but chose represent us in the green and gold.
Wallabies winners and losers: Eddie's ruthless RWC squad is full of double standards - but we had been warned
it might sound funny but I know this to be true because I played flyhalf ….behind some good and bad tightheads!
Eddie has done what was needed four years ago and ripped the bandaid off. Now he's breathed life into Aussie rugby

If not as winger for Suli?

If Tom Wright had been kept the wing then there is no discussion?

Agree. Losing AAA was a bigger deal than has been acknowledged

Yeah, though if he picked Wright for Sulli and Cooper for Donaldson (as none of them are the future!) then Jorgensen is understandable.

Jorgo senior went to league after one season. I reckon he had unfinished business in rugby. I’m backing Max to stay for now at least to the Lions.
