He seems like a quality human too. I was at a sports event for kids with disabilities a year or two ago and Bell was there – not as a VIP guest, but as a support worker helping the kids.

Super Rugby's top 10 players: Aussie props dominate, but Kiwi sensation smiling on the summit

What depth? We have 3 quality props – not even enough to fill a match day team. And let’s not get started on the hookers…

Good for Gus! I guess this means we’ll see Barnes and Raynal taking the final and 3rd place matches? ( I hope not Raynal for the final if England aren’t there)

RWC News: World Rugby's epic troll in semis ref call, legend snipes at 'bandwagon' Kiwi fans, Bok great roasts Poms

I did say ‘hope’ 😊 … but If jones leaves for Japan I am also hoping HM will do the appropriate thing and resign from the board.

The three contenders to take over the Wallabies if Eddie Jones walks

I would hope HM is not involved in the process.

If only we had some more experienced players available for selection… 😂

RWC News: England set to drop star playmaker, Boks coach turns heat up on coach, Frenchman's big Eddie admission

He’s been on the board for longer though, the same board that made the decision to change coaches 9 months from a WC. So he doesn’t deserve a complete free pass either on the basis of his ceo tenure.

'Bloody disappointed: Wallabies OUT of World Cup as nation to miss finals for first time, Eddie fights for survival

I dunno KCL – the chapter ‘Thorn in my side’ might give it a good run 😛

'People smell blood': Eddie says Wallabies had to change ahead of World Cup ... even if it costs him his job

I hope you’re right… and that there’s someone to secure the ball 😛

Wallabies CONFIRMED: Gordon benched as Eddie banks on Ben Donaldson, star returns for do-or-die RWC clash

Leota for Fraser hey. Perhaps my memory is foggy but I seem to recall major issues securing our attacking ball after those two swapped in the last game. Maybe a ‘big body’ is all that matters these days?? Go wallabies!

Which in itself is telling KFTD…

Nuclear blow to Wallabies' hopes of dominating key area - as Fiji selection puts full glare on Donno

Leota did his Achilles in the bledisloe. Not sure about Philip – that was an acl wasn’t it?

The reds are playing (I think) Panasonic… but there has to be a better way than the franchises having to organize their own friendlies.

The 2027 World Cup of course 😛

'Results haven’t been good': Wallabies head into World Cup winless after being humbled by France

We don’t know what, exactly, he said ‘no’ to though do we?

World Cups, unshakeable belief, the Wallabies, and those Waltzing Matildas

Thanks Geoff- good summary of the ever twisting narrative! Perhaps in the final scene (hopefully not wallabies being bundled out on the pool) we will discover Eddie is a ghost and hamish has been coaching the team!

The Wrap: Is Eddie Jones playing the role of Keyser Soze or Frank Drebin?

Bravo Harry – really enjoyed that one! I agree with you on NZ being favorites, they seem to be peaking at the right time, albeit somewhat difficult to predict where the northern teams are at with 6N being six odd months ago.

What three hours in a bar taught me about RWC contenders - including the 'most confident 0-4 team on the planet'

Completely unnecessary. What if Gordon goes down with a two week injury against Georgia – BD will have to run the cutter in risky matches against Fiji and wales, or you send Gordon home for the rest of the tournament to bring in a replacement (who hasn’t been training with the team)

Eddie has done what was needed four years ago and ripped the bandaid off. Now he's breathed life into Aussie rugby

Don’t mind Skelton as captain – he’s a proven winner in the north. Donaldson over QC is just bizarre.

Also had to deal with the worst injury toll last year since Deans in 2012

Bledisloe heartbreak: Eddie's Wallabies denied by last minute Mo'unga penalty as ABs seal stunning comeback

It was Brett and Harry’s roar pod Tim 😊
The q was fairly innocuous – LD just spoke transparently. Worth a listen.

'Inappropriate': Eddie puts Laurie in his place over Wallaby criticism, explains Quade battle, gives Hoops, TT update

Thanks Sam, great article. Is EJ’s plan to simply kick back possession, or was it poor execution (non-contestable kicks)? Or maybe a little from column A, a little from column B…?

ANALYSIS: 'If Eddie persists with his game plan and it fails the damage to Australian rugby could be significant'

Completely agree oz – well said. It’s a fine line and it’s very frustrating he can’t get on the right side of it

Thrown together Australia A side beaten by Tonga as Tupou completes comeback, mixed day for RWC hopefuls

This recruitment process seems to have displayed a shocking level pleasing of competence not usually associated with the reds admin in recent years!

Revealed: Another former State of Origin star to replace Thorn as Queensland Reds get their man

Well said Tim. I’d love to see quade give coaching a go once he finishes playing

'I was a child': Quade declares he's ready for Wallabies' World Cup tilt after coming full circle with Eddie
