You’re dreaming. He’s overated and you hardly see him with ball. Perese,Flook and Daungunu are all better than him.

Ikitau at 4 is the biggest joke.

Despite the hatred, McDermott is laughing all the way to the WC with the C next to his name.
With 2027 in mind, 'Tough little bugger' Tate McDermott is the best pick for Wallabies captain
Cobble being the appropriate word as he seems to have faith in players from our worst team ; The Rebels .

So why he singled out Zane?
Vision as important as selection after physical and mental battering - and it could mean following France's '19 RWC path
That was a pretty low-slung from Larkarm. A couple of 50/50 calls went against the Brumbies, but the Chief was threating the line many times, not the Brumbies. The Chief should have won by more points, whereas the Brumbies never looked like scoring. The Reds were close to beating the Chief last week, and the Chief thoroughly deserved the win this week.
Tom Wright had a shocker. He’s got this egotist attitude to attract attention, but he does not have skills in the pressure situation.
Triple threat turns to triple concern: Wallabies star's indecisiveness gives Eddie food for thought ahead of RWC
Fines who? He has done nothing and long way to go. He may only makes it to Aust A if he’s lucky.
REACTION: Thorn hailed for 'perfect storm' that blindsided everyone in one of the 'top two wins of his tenure'
When he’s on it’s so exiting to watch. I rather watch McDermott running through those big guys than watching those boring half backs that only pass the whole game.

For completeness, I’m not suggesting there need to be 10 Reds in the team: I just don’t want 10 Brumbies. They’re not that much better. The Reds, Rebels and Force (in particular) have basically been ignored this year, to whose benefit?
When you have a coach that obsessed with the players and coaches from the Brumbies, it’s not the best interest for Rugby Australia and the WBs either.
ANALYSIS: Will the Tahs become the new driving force in 2023 and are too many Brumbies spoiling the broth?
Happened before and ended up didn’t win a game in 2021.

Wondering how long Rennie’s obsession with Brumbies players and coaches will end when clearly the results are terrible and falling deeper? Clearly, he’s a conservative coach who heavily depends on his favourite players, mostly Brumbies, to do the job for him. But it’s not working. After almost three years, Rennie must admit that his favourite players have consistently rewarded and failed to meet expectations. These favourite players (bar for Valetini and Samu) performed in small gaps, disappeared, and never close to whole packages. These are fundamental flaws that will repeatedly condemn the Wallabies, and now heading towards a bottom team unless Rennie has to change his approach to selections.
Rennie has chosen over half of a 35-man squad to play for Australia from Brumbies’ players. Even more on Australia A side. All these because the Brumbies went one step better than the Reds and Waratahs and the Force were unlucky to miss out. The Force has no player in the Wallabies but was very unlucky not to beat the Brumbies 39-38. The Reds was the best Aussie team last year, but the Brumbies still dominated selections. Rennie even picked Brumbies’ second and third stringers to tour Europe and didn’t win a game.
This year the Reds outclassed the Brumbies 21-7 in Brisbane and should also beat the Brumbies in Canberra when Iona held back Fraser McReight in the last minute for a 16-12 win for the Brumbies.
Yes, the Brumbies were the best Australian team during the trans-Tasman this year when, honestly, the Waratahs and Reds especially were hard-hit by injuries. At last, the Brumbies’ players should not dominate all the best players in the country. It creates an unbalance self-confidence in other players.
REACTION: Rennie and Wallabies 'crumble' in Auckland again as All Blacks put on a 'masterclass'
It took a while since McKellar joined for Rennie to realise maybe selection is the problem. Favouritism is very much backfired. Selecting the same group of players from the same club is taking advantage of the fairness of selections. They have given a lot of game time. While, the players outside that group are playing without confidence because they have limited time to prove themselves and know they can get dropped for no good reason.
These favourite players who played with arrogance because they knew they are protected continued to have discipline issues, thus reflecting on poor results against the Wallabies. The decision from Wright to tap and kick was selfish, shameful and poor. The selection of three onfield captains from the same club is an act of preference, not for the best of the Wallabies. The third onfield captain is White, who has been known to be highly argumentative to refs and is, therefore, a nemesis to the Wallabies. Unless significant changes to the vain approach, the Wallabies will continue to fall.
NZ vs Aus studs and duds: 'Stop deflecting and ask why you're heading for worst record in Wallaby history'
There is no one to blame. Foley lost the game for the Wallabies. He didn’t play all that good like every one said. He dropped the ball twice and threw a forward pass that end a try. His biggest mistake is to ridiculously delay that kick. That’s who he is all these years and should never had called back to t he Wallabies.
Additionally, Swain should be banned for a long time. Discipline is a big negative factor with the Wallabies. Swain, Wright and White should be all dropped for the next game.
'Worst call in rugby history' or 'brave, correct and necessary'? World reacts to Bledisloe controversy, ref torched
Informal politics at its best. While there are a lot of good players waiting for some opportunities. Rennie and McKellar continued to immorality turn to old players who passed their times and playing overseas, earning big money or bringing in Brumbies second and third stringers to get experience. Thus, Australian young rugby talents who want to stay in Australia for little money try to make the Wallabies a mountain to climb. Bringing Foley back is excruciatingly wrong. Many of these players are ready to get consistent opportunities to earn experience. But, unless your names are Lolesio, Ikitau, Swain, Lonegan, Wright etc, etc, you won’t be treated the same. White is the most overrated halfback in the history of the Wallabies and seriously should be dropped, giving the other two guys plenty of minutes to build confidence. Sio, who is leaving, is just a waste of time. Arnold’s three performances incredibly unjustified his selection.
REACTION: Boks turn salty tears into raging torrent of revenge, Marika smashed and humbled in TRC 'mugging'
Rennie and Mckellar continue to use Brumbies players regularly despite loosing and just used others partly. Continue to ignore young talents currently playing in Australia and bring back old players who really past their times is killing the future of Australia rugby.
Noah Lolesio is not an international player. Same Brumbies players same game plan same results.
'Far out, this could be anything': When the Wallabies faced down a lion tamer, and Adelaide witnessed a mauling
Agree with all the horribles. JOC has lost confidence when he overlooked for Noah. He has to get the confidence back because he is still a better choice than Noah. Noah should be replaced by the NSW 10 in the squad.
REACTION: 'Masterclass,' 'perfect game plan, perfectly executed' - Cheika sticks the boot into bewildered Wallabies
Players that are not Brumbies struggled to adjust to this boring style of rugby. You can’t win games by depending on your maulings. The two second rowers were both missing.

It had proven the Wallabies doesn’t have a good rhythm with White directing the play. Poor choices of kicking and poor discipline. Sadly he played a lot minutes.
AUS vs. ARG studs and duds: Star who's 'changing the game', McReight's leap forward, Wallabies 'horrendous' flaw
Lolesio and White are the most overated players. They continue to get a lot of opportunities and the Wallabies keep losing. The Wallabies was better when McKellar wasn’t there.
'Plenty of chances so it hurts': Everything Dave Rennie and Hoops said about game tactics, subs and smack talk after loss
You are delusional. Doesn’t make sense. Shihh
WALLABIES TEAM: Latu starts, Foketi to debut, Daugunu and prop stars return
Gee you full of crap. Paisami had an excellent game proving all your crap wrong. Shih
WALLABIES TEAM: Latu starts, Foketi to debut, Daugunu and prop stars return
Ikitau should be dropped for Perese. Ikitau is overated. About time they finally picked areal winger in Daugunu. White also should be dropped. He talks too much and generates stupid mistakes. More bad than goods.

There are a few that don’t deserve to be there – lolesio swain and the hooker don’t know his name, as well mckellar.
ANALYSIS: So little time to fix so many holes with RWC 2023 rushing at the Wallabies
“Kiss will look back and rue a pivotal moment in the 67th minute when replacement playmaker Lawson Creighton, who was a controversial inclusion ahead of Harry McLaughlin-Phillips, kicked too long to allow the Brumbies a prime opportunity to hit back after Josh Nasser got the Reds back in the match.” And he went in way too early. Not sure what Kiss thinking.
