Halfback sorry

You talk about the tight five and the back three. You casually refer to five-eighths and breakaways. You know a few things and have…
Agree.
I do worry that Fiji will learn from mistakes and will be massive next game. Will be tough, but I believe we are good learners too.

Yes he made some poor decisions esp facing 14 men, but I put it down to being over-programmed by EJ.
To me he is faithfully sticking to the game plan. Too much.
He also made some good kicks, was very unselfish.
Not his best game but I haven’t lost faith in his read of the game both A + D.
I think he can continue to build for class.
Dunno how much chop & change in direction he will now get from EJ: hope not much.

I agree with Hoops: smile.
The huge occasion, the pressure, the youth, should have death wobbled us but instead we won.
Lots of areas to improve but getting that 1st WC win out of the way is huge.
See Argies by contrast: need a few games to settle in.

Gordon is doing well, played the game plan, has a lot more to show, played unselfishly, should not be replaced by BD at 10.

An element of ‘saving’ Frost and Kellaway by the sounds?

Alas, but…there could be surprises!
Great writing, welcome back!

I’m cognitively dissonant too, the other way around/mirror view: (a) I like this team and Eddie’s choices; (b) if we make it to the semis it will be FANTASTIC (not a pass mark or a Rennie given).
Do I then want us to win the semi and go further? 1000%. (Edge of our seats, and some).

Nice one. Wallabies defence is indeed a ‘work-on’.

Why is our wide defence so poor – I’m not enough of a leaguie to figure that one out
Enjoy the opportunity, debutants – I’m not sure how many more there will be as Wallabies enter must-win mode
Anemoia galore from Wallabies critics
This is is the best side for now, and they have so much more potential than the flatliners
(But please improve the wide defence, mauls, loose play discipline, some line-outs & kicks from tee)

Van Nek seems bigger than Talakai, but just body shape I guess? Both big enough?

Good name too

Thanks Harry. If we dilute ‘The leader as coach’ to ‘The coach who just coaches’, maybe that’s Eddie. Maybe not leading in the traditional sense, re-shuffling cards and not wedded to continuity or ‘staunchly seeing things through’. Tough for assistants! A unique cat, an eclectic underdog, pulling a rabbit out (hopefully), sly as a fox …Any animal similes left?

Beaut writing again, truly. But was the EJ library sentence drafted by a rank Roar groupie? EJ the megalomaniac chip on shoulder I don’t listen to anyone guy? That’s what he sounds like at press conferences, to ears who innately dislike him, but I reckon his library is full of obscure, under-rated Sports tacticians and teachers, coalescing around a singular theme of ‘extraordinary team upsets and how to beat the best’. He’s the perpetual underdog, always learning. Suits this team and WC!

I coulda been a contender
