I am a long suffering Reds fan.

And we are only a couple of games in. Let’s not uncork the bubbly just yet.
'Breathing life back into Australian rugby': How Reds revolution can supercharge several Wallaby careers
He has great balance and good hands. He’s a waste simply as a battering ram.

Bell is outstanding.

As an unabashed reds fan, I really hope that Liam Wright stays fit. He has aged, put on a few KG and looks a quality 6.
It’s very early in the season. But the back row and their link play in attack is pretty exciting.
And they’re defending well as a unit.

Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind.
'Bloody disappointed: Wallabies OUT of World Cup as nation to miss finals for first time, Eddie fights for survival
The fact that we are at a World Cup, in a do or die match against Wales, and we have Donaldson lining up at 10 tells you about everything you need to know.
I hope he plays better than he ever has before.
There are probably at least 4 better 10’s that could run out, but we didn’t bother bringing any of them.
Exclusive: Wallabies set for fly-half switch in do-or-die World Cup Test against Wales
Good on you Doc, I was going to say something similar but perhaps less eloquent.
How about our press get behind our team going into round 2 of the World Cup.
Personally I reckon the Fijians will be more worried about this game than we should be, they got panicky against Wales, and if we can keep it close in the first 30-40 minutes we have the fire power to finish them off.
How about let’s be pretty happy we have blokes as experienced and as good as Slipper and White to come into the team.

He did great, and that’s awesome.

I’m not sure that’s what you meant.
But let’s give you the benefit of the doubt.
I would suggest that there are plenty of people who think that he is exactly capable of being an international prop.
Note – Being consistently selected at all levels of representative Rugby may suggest he has a decent amount of talent
There is no nepotism or special connection into the board at the reds or Wallabies for Zane, so it could suggest that everyone else is right, and you may not be.
Reds sign TWO All Blacks props - and one of them could play for the Wallabies next year
He is actually a great bloke. He was well loved at school where he was captain of his First 15, as well as a school captain.
A great kid, humble as they come and a role model for all the boys at his school.
He comes back all the time to help out with Junior rugby.
How about we get behind our young up and coming players rather than trash them.

Tony,
Genuine question, why is it that you can jump on someone’s shoulders and head and strip the ball on the tackle in goal but not in general play?
Had Savea dived on top of McDermott to pinch the ball in a tackle situation, in general play it would be a penalty.
Why is doing it in goal ok?
'Must do your head in': Quade's error and Tate's indecision crucial as All Blacks duo bring the pain yet again
Tom Hooper was great, the back row seemed more balanced in the first half.
I liked Arnold and Frost too. I don’t think we got much off the bench.
Surely the energy we get from the two ninjas at 9 and 10 will keep them in the starting team.
What to do with Nick White?

Does anyone think that a Wilson throwing himself at the line might be nice in the second half?

He has promise, but is very young.
He may look way older than he is.
But he looked like that at school!

We sure did, I think it’s fair to say that Rennie was a fantastic coach. I really liked him, he brought the Wallabies on from Cheika.

Well, we improved.
People will say that was a Kiwi B-side. But I reckon still much more experienced than the team Eddie is rolling out.
We pushed the darkness today, they know it and so will the rest of the World Cup teams. We may not go that deep this year but I am pretty sure no-one will take them lightly at the WC.

I’d take an improved performance and no capitulation.

Is there an Aussie hooker in Europe? Waiting in the wings?

And fair enough too, Zane will develop into a really good prop, he needs time and experience.
Having a block of wood holding him in should help.

Yep, I am a bit over this ashes series.
We retained it despite all the fuss, now on to OUR home ashes series.
And the Gabbatioir to set the series up right.
And no Broad to terrify…. Booo
UK View: 'The moral victory is real' - Poms revel in Pat's 'failure', downfall of 'dastardly' and 'scared' Aussies
I’m pretty sure no Aussie fan has expected much more from this team in reality.
But to be fair the all blacks played well for the whole match and we did in some parts.
Losing by a little or a lot, I would prefer to lose by a lot as long as we are trying something new, rather than a little but doing what we have always done.
NZ still the benchmark and the Aussies with a fair bit to work on.
The Wrap: Don’t buy Eddie Jones taking the blame for another Bledisloe loss, buy the hope instead
And we all get a matching jumpsuit!

Nonsense!

Fair enough… but he is fit and playing well this year. Let’s give them all a few more games before we pick the first Wallabies squad.
