Greatest Rugby Player To Never Play Rugby.
Published
Comments
“Stronger As Five” let’s remember that we the people came up with that statement and rightly so. Our battle is moreso off the field and with the ARU. Such results are no longer a surprise. Whilst they (kiwis) continue heading north with their brand of rugby (and it is their brand), we (suffering Aussie fans) must endure the never ending saga of ARU politics. How about we get the rugby committee or board or trustee from the WhyKickAMooCow RUFC in little old Na Zillund to come and run our lot. I’m sure they would do more for Aussie Rugby than the lot we have in there now.
Blues bruise the Brumbies
Most Australian sides play text book rugby. Text books from 1905. When confronted with challenges that are not mentioned in such text books, a game of head scratching and Lucas “Its your fault” Neill stare is on display. I know we always look back to days when the likes of Campo and Little, Horan and Riff could explain the meaning of life whilst cutting teams apart. Australian Rugby, broken from the top and suffering at the bottom.

No, our teams simply don’t know how to play for 80min. We switch off at the hour mark and then watch them from across the ditch run riot. Our squads neither have the intellect, accuracy, knowhow, commitment or passion. We are a fickle bunch and we simply not good enough. “Australian Way of Rugby” what a load of Dame Edna’s. Most favourable team tend to win away from home because they are bloody good. We in New Holland cannot play rugby, we participate moreso than dictate.
What happened to my rugby?
One of the worst acquisitions the tahs have ever made was signing Angus Taavao. The most penalized prop on NZ rugby when he played for Auckland. He neither has the strength nor scrimmaging ability to make any Super Rugby franchise in NZ and yet gets a job in Australia. Yeah, that’s definitely exploring the bottom of the barrel. Skelton needs to be released asap, he is built like Tarzan and plays like Jane. Has no motor. Why is it that Retallick and Whitelock play 80min and he is off after 50?
Waratahs explore the bottom of the barrel
He was the 8th best hooker in the rugby championship last year. He should have retired after the world cup because he is quickly becoming another sad wallaby captain that is selected merely because he’s the captain a la Elsom, Horwill, Mowen and now Moore

Injuries are a certainty, but there is a canyon size gap between NZ and us. They have depth and and are extremely deep in every position. We may play a lesser opponent in terms of skills and speed but if we were to take a few hits in the casualty ward, we would struggle to win a single game against them. Talking to a few of my kiwi mates, they all seem to believe that Reece Hodge is our best player to wear the 10 jersey. I tend to agree with all their points. Great defender, ball playing skills and a direct runner with great running lanes. Can kick a mile and a knack for breaking the line or getting over the advantage line. They maybe onto something.

The difference also ever gleamingly obvious in the experience in the coaches box. Kiwi teams have coaches who have cut their teeth elsewhere before taking up a SR coaching post. Gibson, Larkham, Stiles, McGahan, Wessels are all rookies taking on the kiwis.
New Zealand rugby is better than Australian rugby, but by how much? Here's the answer
No no no no no. Your suggestion only helps two parties, the French connection and the Japanese Yen. If it isn’t hard enough as it is now involved in a tougher comp than anything we could come up with on our own. Most of our dwindling player stock would cease and we will pick a wallaby side out of Kobe, Toulon and the likes.
It's time for Australian rugby to go it alone
I hope so, he is a really good player and would be the missing piece in a blues back line needing guidance.

The likes of Laumape, Konrad Hurrell, Sam Lousi were all highly talented and regarded union players in high school that were lured by the NRL U20’s and big earnings of Rugby League. Glad to see them coming back. Australia rugby could start luring some young U20’s talent as well from the NRL.

TELL US: What needs to be done about Australian rugby?
West Sydney Wanderers and Sydney Sixer’s have both shown interest as well, the Waratahs maybe. He will sign with Fox Sports.
