Maybe a little Kennith.
But the underarm has just been used way too much and not really appropriate for this thread.
Maybe that would be a good article.
The Great Sporting Regrets.
Happy new years by the way 👍

Masters of the Air: The ten greatest kickers in rugby history - from All Blacks 'wizard' to the Scot who changed the game

I genuinely wish you guys all the best Mo.
well until you’re facing the ABs 😛

Chasing stability over pipedreams and rent-a-quotes - why RA chose an 'Ordinary Joe' to move on from Eddie as Wallabies coach

You’re absolutely right Andy I would think it would be in his job description or scope.
But having gone through it with Ireland I would imagine he will have some input.
May not of course it’s just my opinion.

To be honest T I’m not expecting to much from either as both I’ll need to find their feet.
You would probably give Razor the edge as he is completely familiar with stocks and abilities. But JS is absolutely the man to start the process is Oz. I say start as 2 years is nowhere near enough. Hopefully he can’t walk away from the challenge and most are supporting him.

I thought it was just me.
Not sure what this article is trying to promote.
JS is mild mannered bloke who is not box office in front of the camera, so what.
What chance does he have when the media is already highlighting perceived faults.
I mean “ hit the ground running” it’s not like he has a turn key team that just needs a tweak.

Hope so Mo.
He only has 2 year at this stage.
Hopefully this will be extended if he is the man and the support of the team, board and punters.
If I have to dive into my mind (not a place for the faint heated) I see them at best competitive and building to for the next WC. But it is at home and if they are competitive with a good draw anything can happen.

We often talk about pathways and getting back on track on these threads.
Surely this is what is expected from JS.
Winning consistently is the pinnacle but I think we can all agree there is so much work to be done before this is a reality.
2 years 😔 it will hardly make a dent but hope I’m wrong.

Yes, happy New Year to you mate.
Enjoy the day, plenty of time for this play out.

No argument there Hika, El is on the money.
I’m actually concerned for Marto’s Mental Well-being.
He say’s he will be dumped after a couple All Blacks game later this year but odds he is giving would suggest he will still be there next World Cup.
My head now hurts 😔

'We'll sack him and be in the same position': Ex-Wallaby condemns Larkham snub as Schmidt deal CONFIRMED

Geeez Crow, you boys are hard to please 😛

I recon Mrs Ryan’s little boy Jason is giving you the bird about now El 😂

They don’t have to resign, just hire English speaking people in the customer service or Tech support would be OK. 😔

Hopefully those white ants have been exterminated now Ankles.
I’m not sure that the fact he is not an Aussie will matter too much if he can get things heading in the right direction.
It’s defiantly going be Hard Yakka and lets just hope he turns out to be more of a true blue cobber and not a Galah or it will all end up in the dunny.

I think Matt Dunning should have made the list.
Not the smartest thing to do, but a bloody good dropy 😂

Hey Jacko and happy new year.
I think that’s a bit harsh.
As the article pointed out he has worked with both Horne and Nucifora before and that would have given some confidence.
He would have accessed the situation pretty thoroughly I would have thought.
Personally I see it as good fit. He will see it as his crowning glory.
A massive challenge, but I think he is up to it.
It will be interesting to see his staff.
I don’t see instant success, but if he can keep everyone behind him, by the time the Lions arrive hopefully things will be starting to hummmmm.
Good Luck to you Aussie lads, board shakeup, a decent admin team, a decent coach.
Things are looking rosier all the time 👍

That could work JD, but defiantly not together IMO.
Certainly don’t see what other see in Skelton as a International player.
But hey, I’m not a selector.

Meafou's time: Giant Aussie's rise from overlooked NRC prodigy to France's next big thing, new captains for England and Ireland

Look forward to see him run out for France G.
Hopefully he can take step.

Sorry King we are getting off track a bit.
You asked a question how they would go TOGETHER . My answer is still disastrous.

Meafou's time: Giant Aussie's rise from overlooked NRC prodigy to France's next big thing, new captains for England and Ireland

If you think he is the best lock in the Top 14 because the author has broadly written
has been one of the Top 14’s stars in recent years after becoming a revelation at Toulouse alongside regular French captain Antoine Dupont and Wallaby Richie Arnold.
or
Meafou has become the most destructive lock in France
I seem to remember year Skelton being the best lock in the world last year, probably by the same writer. But that never really come to pass at the WC now, did it.
Not sure if you have had to lift in a line out King, but these lads are not ideal on top of 40-60 minutes of defensive mobility.
Probably OK if your can hang on to the pill for 80% of the game though.
Otherwise, No, they would be together in my side.

Disastrous. 😔

Hi crow.
Did Shane making gravy as well.

There we go.
Love that.

That also is fair enough I guess.
But I would still like to know.

RA to begin hunt for Wallabies coach imminently after securing key man, Schmidt keen as Nucifora talks continue

Not sure. But certainly would be a good option.

Fair enough. Mary Christmas.
