Sounds like a problem similar to 2nd tier nations on how far the Wallabies have regressed ever since Fiji and Wales disposed of them back in France last year, I’ve always reckoned that ACT and QLD had the best Aussie players although Super Rugby is one thing and TRC is another challenge altogether.
But anyways, the Bledisloe woes says it all.
Super Rugby shows that the Bledisloe Cup isn't going anywhere - one selection could give the Wallabies hope
He’s not waiting around for the RA slowpokes due to his personal priorities.
Exclusive: Wallabies star weighing up big move to England
And potential prospects like him will consider “alternative options” unless RA can somehow get their head out of the sand and do something about it if they intend to keep CG with the “Mungoball” scouts open to signing up union boys.

Possible ultimatum there for the RA headless chickens
Wallabies' young gun mulling NRL switch as Rebels' future continues to cloud picture
Borderline defeatist here with this kind of article, RA may want to relook at the QLD/ACT system and figure out how to apply it to the Tahs, Force, and Rebels from the grassroots upwards. And they also need to reconsider the Rebels consortium itself.

He knows what he’s up against in Auckland having not won there in years.

Good on the Wallabies coaching staff, I can see why the Reds may struggle too like the Rebels had Joey taken their forwards coach Zane.
CONFIRMED: Wallabies land final piece of coaching puzzle as ex-Lion signs on ahead of showpiece event
My prediction for the finals: Drua-Brumbies
Super Rugby W has been the most competitive to date but can anyone stop the in-form Tahs in the semifinals?
I can see why the AU scouts have been overlooking prospects like him be it the schoolboys or the average Tahs, at least the inaugural and long overdue TRC U20s will help keep more talented players at home instead of moving abroad.
Best of luck to Dolly on joining the Force despite the team itself being a mixture of foreign players and former Wallabies.
Aussie-born England capped rake Nic Dolly signs with Force ... and he'll soon be eligible for the Wallabies
Sounds like an All Blacks dilemma here on the halves
The forgotten leader Razor must pick for the All Blacks - and why it could change who wears the prized No.10 jersey
Ironic that it took potential liquidation that’s now averted with a “sponsor” to motivate the Rebels to do better this season, this one is a gimmie for the Melbourne boys so no excuses here.
ANALYSIS: Rebels rely on brute force over defensive integrity - but there's a sweet spot they can expose in finals chase
Reverting to the old laws might help since there’s too many laws implemented already by WR and pushed by RA itself ironically.
Rugby is losing the long-term battle: What World Rugby must learn from Australia before it's too late
And yet the Tahs ironically have old boys in charge of RA itself, no wonder snubbing Twiggy is coming back to bite them.
Anyways the Brumbies showing why they and the Reds have most of the best Wallabies compared to the Sydney boys.
Brumbies make it 12 straight against Tahs as Bell hobbles off in worrying sign for Wallabies
From wasting an opportunity by snubbing Twiggy who could’ve established grassroots development in WA just to entertain the Rebels who are now steady with help from a consortium to this, I can see why RA still seems out of touch from the reality on the ground regardless of the new appointees.

The thing is (according to them), that the referee Damon Murphy and Fiji rugby teams have had a complicated relationship right from the 7s which explains why they’re crying foul over it.
At least there’s a few of them that says otherwise that Lomani should’ve kept his cool regardless of what’s happening during the game.

Not bad from Hoops on debut

The Western Farce sure need alot of soul searching after getting pumped, I hope Twiggy has literally pumped plenty of money into the grassroots upwards in Perth.
'Went straight through us': Blues put 50 on Force as scrum issues return
To be honest, historically Fijian rugby teams and Damon Murphy the ref have never gotten along that it often riles up the fans as seen during 7s. ????
There’s even a video meme made about him that goes “I’m blind, I’m deaf, I’m the flipping ref” or something like that made by a disgruntled fan. ????????♂️
'Insane and total stupidity': Drua have two SENT OFF as Rebels score 33 unanswered points to win again
It’s a good thing that the Drua, like any other professional outfit, has everything in-house to deal with player welfare and sports mentality.
But seriously they literally lost the plot and the game itself when the halfback and replacement prop were shown red for breaking under the pressure that it won’t surprise me if they’ll be on the sidelines for some time.
Byrne has his hands full dealing with those two as the worst examples of losing the psychological battle.

Cheika would be legit if they’re still intent on showing Coleman the door, don’t know much about his assistant Gilmore but Grey is an interesting candidate as current Junior Wallabies coach.
And I’ve always seen the Tahs as the usual favorite for RA anyways, especially in terms of the guys in charge and the number of players in the Wallabies team.

No wonder RA sums up pretty much everything wrong with Australian rugby ever since the mid-2000s.
'We've got three pay cheques left': Rebels given glimmer of hope - but the clock is still ticking
Tigers been toothless for years so they’re doing what they can to uplift their standards from the ground up and good for them. And the clubs applying for that Vegas stint are definitely quite busy as usual.

Storm likely to be doing their own thing as usual regardless of what people think of them.
Storm warning: We’re sleeping on Melbourne again – they might be the biggest threat to the Panthers
At least the Rebels have a lifeline from this consortium with compelling reasons why they should remain in SR, it’s now on RA to decide and I’d be very surprised if they’re still intend on pulling the plug.
And to be fair, being in the community heartlands is better than the CBD and a near half-full AAMI Park.
'We've got three pay cheques left': Rebels given glimmer of hope - but the clock is still ticking
Frontrowers and flyhalves issues pretty much sums up a long TRC ahead for the Wallabies, but Round 11 will show who’s hot and who’s not for the AU teams.
